The Jewel of Calix by Kernezelda (PG)
Fandom BLAKES7
Pairing: (sort of) Vila-OFC
Author on LJ:
kernezelda
Author Website: http://www.watchfarscape.com
Why this must be read:
Despite ample evidence that Blakes7 is a tragic romance set against a wartime background--sort of like "For Whom the Bell Tolls"* some sick perverts insist on treating it as some sort of science fiction adventure. I ask you.
Nevertheless, one of the pleasures of science fiction is world-building, and Kernezelda's Ficathon story does a wonderful job of making Calix real. The story is set in S3 (so Cally is still available), and there's a spirit of high adventure as "Vils Reslat" and his "assistant, Chevron" have a profitable day out (although a far more enjoyable one for Vila). Everyone--especially Vilaphiles--will enjoy Suave!Vila's chance to play the Cary Grant role.
*You say "A Farewell to Arms"? Thank you, Travis, you can put your hand down now.
