Smile For The Birdie by Susannah Shepherd (NC-17)

Hiya, I'm [livejournal.com profile] snowgrouse and I'll be your Blake's 7 driver for the month. *revs up the engine* I must say it's great to be back!:)  In celebration of B7 being reactivated as a major fandom on here, my first rec will be something light and fluffy and wonderfully smutty.

  Fandom: BLAKE'S 7
  Pairing:  All of the S4 Scorpio crew in various combinations
  Author on LJ: Don't know
  Author Website: Susannah Shepherd's Fiction Collection
  Why this must be read:

Like I said, this piece is wonderful, fluffy, smutty fun. And well-written too, which isn't easy when you're doing orgy fic of all things! In the story, Vila installs a camera in Dorian's bedroom as he suspects Soolin and Dayna are having an affair, and things progress from there. I know the theme sounds terribly dodgy, but here it's handled with refreshing humour--you can't stop grinning while reading this. It's a rare instance of orgy fic that *works*. All the characteristic dry wit of the B7 crew is to be found in the dialogue, coupled with hilarious fumbling and smut. The girls are clever and wicked, the guys confused and silly in their lust, whilst everyone stays firmly in character. And oh, did I mention it was as hot as hell, too?:)

This one has got f/f, het, m/m, the works. There's something for everyone here--good characterisation, good smut, good belly laughs. Get thee hence:
