...And a Star to Steer Her By by Flora Stuart (PG)
Hi, all! *waves* For the month of October, a newbie is driving the Farscape van. I hope you guys don't try to run me off the road. ;)
A little about me and my proclivities: I'm a recent transplant from the Babylon 5 fandom with a thing for characters who are relatively neglected by fandom. I'm a huge Pilot, Moya and Talyn fan and a Stark/Zhaan 'shipper, but I plan to hit every weird corner in the fandom I can find.
So, Recommendation the First:
Title: ...And a Star to Steer Her By
Fandom: FARSCAPE
Pairing: Pilot, Moya

Why this must be read:
As I said, I'm wild about Pilot and the leviathans. And Flora's ficlet, inspired by The Way We Weren't, is an absolutely gorgeous, emotional portrayal of Pilot's first days on Moya and the tragedy at the heart of this relationship's birth.
On his home world he remembers a painting of wild leviathans, young ships skimming a gas giant's upper atmosphere, dipping playfully down and soaring up against the stars. The adults watching the young ones held to no formation, and no black collars crossed their bows. He dreamed once that such a ship would be his life partner, and they would share in the glorious freedom of open space.
As he'd lifted one claw to clasp Velorek's hand, he'd known it was the first truly free choice he'd ever made. Now he fears it may have been the last. He can watch every move the Peacekeepers make, but ultimately they control him utterly, as they do Moya.
He is starting to wonder if it is no more than he deserves.
