Why this must be read:

I can't tell you how happy I am that Zenia's now linked to most of her B7 fics in her Memories section. She's one of my all-time favourite fanfic writers for a reason--gorgeous prose, moments captured in time with just the right words to hit your heart, brain and groin. Her stories are usually short and very condensed at that, ripe with perfect character bits and so much intensity they leave you gasping for breath.

Constant Craving is a fic that's been haunting me ever since I read it, and that must've been two years ago or so. It's all about Avon and love--something he never had great success with. It's harrowing and beautiful, a sequence of short flashes of the loves in his life. What he wants and what he gets are two very different things. Yes, expect angst. I think what makes this fic work so well for me is that it rings so true, it's how I imagine Avon myself. Melancholy, lustful, and paranoid at the end.

This page has two stories on it, you need to scroll down to get to Constant Craving. The first fic, Toy Soldiers, is damn good reading as well.
