Fugue by Jane Baron (R)
b>Fandom:BLAKES 7
Pairing: Blake/Kerr, Blake/Avon
Author on LJ:?
Author Website:?
Why this must be read:
So much of Blakes7 is about identity: just who Blake still is after two mind-wipes; who is an ally or an enemy, a human or an android. In Fugue (a three-part novelette; it's on the Oblique site in two large pdfs), Avon becomes addicted to a sleeping drug called Lethe. Under the influence, Avon's body--and, crucially, Avon's id--sleepwalk into Blake's bed. At first, Blake just provides h/c for his colleague's nightmares, but the "Kerr" persona becomes not merely responsive but demanding, so what's a burly rebel to do?
The development of Blake's feelings--protective and otherwise--for the sweetly responsive, nonverbal "Kerr" is both genuinely touching and kind of creepy. To an extent, Blake acquires a lover, a pet, an adopted child, and an incubus all at the same time, and he still has to cope with Avon during their waking hours. And, for a while, Avon unconsciously is his own rival for Blake's affections.
Sooner or later, of course, Avon finds out what's been happening, and is not immediately quite as understanding about the complexities of the situation as Blake would like. The situation escalates to a fistfight, and as usual in B7 slash they have too much of the Wrong Kind of Fun.
This is an Oblaque story, which means that the direction the story will go in (curtains or Curtains, you might say) is very much in doubt until the end. See how it develops at:
