The Visit Home by Death2PrimeChick (R)
Fandom: FARSCAPE
Pairing: John/Aeryn
Author On LJ: Unknown
Author's Webpage: Unknown
Why this must be read:
As far as I can tell, this is one of the very first "John goes to Earth" stories out there. It's long, plotty, and filled with the FS characters we know and original characters that manage to steer clear of the Mary Sue/Marty Stu label that is so feared.
My favorite thing about this story is how the characters are used. This is about adjustment and adapation. About learning and re-learning people you thought long gone and the new arrivals you bring with them. That, I think, is the strength of this story. Death2PrimeChick shows us those growing pains, those adjustments in fine form. It's not only John who must adjust, but the daughter he brings. On the other side, John's father as well as most of the Earth's inhabitants must adjust to a half human child and a man who's lived among aliens.
This may sound a bit bland, but it's not. It's interesting and, even with the amount of Earth fics around now, it's still original in it's ideas and plot.
