Blood and Shadows by Salome (NC-17, for violence as well as sex)
Fandom:BLAKES7
Pairing: Rape and torture involving Avon and Tarrant; Avon/Tarrant
Author on LJ: Don't know
Author Website: Don't know
Why this must be read: OK, now we're in "people who like this sort of thing, this is the thing they like" territory. (The archive it appears on has a rating system, and Blood and Shadows was rated 4-out-of-5.)
This is a to-the-hilt example of both the BUARA (Beat Up and Rape Avon) and BABYT (Bind and Bugger Young Tarrant) genres. When Servalan captures Avon and Tarrant, Tarrant is conditioned to rape a severely abused Avon. The Scorpio crew rescues Avon and--a bit later--Dayna, in possession of less than all the facts, rescues Tarrant (who by this time has suffered extremely severe and graphically described physical and sexual abuse himself). Not really my sort of thing, but I can't say that it didn't leave an impression.
As you'd expect from a slash story, all is well again after the application of advanced 30th Century combat medical techniques and Therapeutic Sex, with Orac (for those outside the B7 ambit: the super-computer, who is so advanced as to be actually portable!) combines canonical crankiness with a somewhat out-of-character role as Yenta Sue.
