Hey, Kids! It's Farscape Fic!

Nov 01, 2011 21:03

So, OK, waaaay back in March, I was dithering about whether or not to offer up some fic for the help_japan auction, and more or less coming to the conclusion that I really didn't want to commit to writing something to order that quickly. Whereupon mtgat piped up and said, hey, she'd donate $20 right then for the promise of a Stark/Zhaan story sometime before ( Read more... )

I am about to go to bed, so I am reading now and will come back and squee at length over this, but FARSCAPE! ZHAAN AND STARK! *GLEE*

*grin* Well, that sounds promising, anyway. :)

There is nothing about this fic I do not love. So much of their time together was "missing scenes" and I adore what you did with these. I think the third section is my favorite: he was so lost, and she called him back and that's exactly them. I love the bits between "The Locket" and "Ugly Truth" too, how little time they had, and how they cherished it, and how shy he still was after everything.

Just, HAPPY. :D Thank you for writing this!

Yay! I'm really glad you liked it. I will admit to being slightly nervous about it. Like I said, I do seem to be out of practice with these two, not that it isn't always good to spend time with them.

The fact that almost all of their relationship consists of missing scenes is one of the things that really intrigues me about it. I've always had this impulse, when the camera inevitably cuts away from them, to force it to cut back. :)

Realizing the infelicity of his phrasing

Aww. Unusually sensitive of D'Argo!

This was beautiful, and I even remembered all the places the scenes fit. I've missed your Stark and Zhaan.

D'Argo may have been more embarrassed about the inadvertent pun than he was worried about sparing Stark's feelings. :)

And I'm really glad to know you remembered enough to get all the context. I was a bit worried about whether people would, at this late date.

Lovely bits among the ruins. Stark and Zhaan seem so unlikely a pairing at first, but it's hope that allows for love. It's been a long time since I read Zhaan/Stark fic, and it's very nice to do so first thing in the morning.

They're a very strange couple, but in ways that have always made sene to me. :)

And it'd been a long time since I'd read any, either, much less written some.

Oh. It's been a while since I've read any FS stories, and I just want to hug all of these to bits. I think the third one is my favourite, but really like them all. I think you've gotten both Zhaan's and Stark's voices perfectly.

Thanks! FS's ficcish popularity has definitely waned a lot since it's been off the air, but it's nice to go back to it once in a while. :)
