The Good Times by OrchidCactus (PG-13 and NC-17)
Hello all you crazy Farscape fans! I'm back to take another turn at the wheel and, this time, I've gone to the 'way back' machine to dig out some older favorites of mine. The majority of these take place during the LONG hiatuses that FS tended to have where fic writers wrote their own stories to try and keep their insanity at bay.
Fandom: FARSCAPE
Pairing: John/Aeryn
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author Website: Unknown
Why this must be read:
This is a good, old fashioned action/adventure. It's actually two threads of action/adventure well. This story takes place after Meltdown and is taken from a line that Aeryn actually says in Infinite Possibilities: Icarus Abides. We get a John/Aeryn thread, the Butch and Sundance that everyone became familiar with from the show's canon and the, often times, funny and antagonistic group featuring Crais, Rygel, and Stark in the other group.
I like the ease of the John/Aeryn relationship in this one. It's a tribute to the author that she can take their attitudes from canon and almost illustrate how they would be together if given more time. They're comfortable with each other, moreso than with anyone else on the crew. I liked to see that bit of canon inference, that ability to predict how these two would act if actually given this story to act out.
This story is just fun. It's fast paced and unique and OrchidCactus makes great use of all the characters. It's a very ensemble piece and no character is left out in the cold, so to speak. The situation is reminiscient of one very well known movie but Orchid makes it own, makes it adapt to the FS world. There's character development and smart dialogue and it's a lengthy story that I love reading every so often.
Orchid wrote two versions of this story. One is PG-13 and one is NC-17.
