A Marketable Commodity by Pat Jacquerie

Fandom: Blakes7
Pairing: Tarrant/Avon
URLs: Available at both http://www.liberated.org.uk/1032market.htm and

Why This Must be Read: The late and much-mourned Pat Jacquerie really was the person who put the Tarrant/Avon pairing on the map. "A Marketable Commodity" is a brothelfic--the commodity in question is Tarrant, who is captured by slave traders and purchased (with a bad check--well, he would) by Avon. From this unremarkable set-up comes a beautifully tender story combining extremely unsanctioned-by-the-Supreme-Court interrogation techniques and seduction-as-education. And Tarrant isn't, so to speak, going to take that lying down, so he gives it his substantial all to prove to Avon that Tarrant can give as good as he gets.

I really didn't get slash when I was first involved in B7 fandom - until I read Pat Jacquerie's Avon/Tarrant stories. I was all "eww! men shagging? lubricant??" and then I read Pat's stuff, and I was all "oh. emotions. intense emotions. relationship. nice."
