Irina Derevko / Lena Olin Fanfic Recommendation
Just me again...*ducks*
Well, the title is already kinda misdirecting, since there is no Lena Olin Fanfiction. Luckily for her ;)
(Ok, there's one I know off, later more about that)
Irina Derevko Fanfiction usually means Jack/Irina Fanfiction, I haven't read a (good) fic with just Irina.
Also, a little warning: Jack/Irina Fanfictions are usually the most graphic and do have a lot of sexual content, after all we're talking about the grown-ups here, right? :P
Oh, and here's a very short guide on the Ratings, couldn't find anything better, sorry.
Jack/Irina Fanfic Archives
• The Serenades - Fanfiction Archive, sorted by ratings
• Aequabilis* - Fanfiction Archive for everything under NC-17
• The Glasscage Archive for all the "hard" stories, only R and NC-17 here.
*offline at the moment, I pmed the owner and she said it's probably a problem with the server, but it will be back up soon. I will edit this post as soon as it is.
Messageboards
Many stories on the boards are Works in Progress and constantly updated. You can be added to a pm list for most stories, so you will get a note as soon as a fanfiction is updated with a new part.
• J/I Fanfiction over at sd-1.net (there are always new stories, at least one every few days)
• J/I Fanfiction (R/NC-17) at sd-1.net (dito)
Allalias.com also has fanfiction, but it's not the place for Jack and Irina, most people there are Syd/Vaughn shipper.
Recommended Fanfictions
Well, just a warning: I entered the J/I Fanfiction world rather late, so these are my personal favourites, other people definitely have others. Oh, and I mostly read NC-17 fanfictions, because they tend to be better-written than those that have a lower rating.
The Perfect Weapon by Karen | NC-17 | WIP
Very long and intense written story. Starts with Jack and Irina's night in Panama, where Jack reviews everything that has happened between them since Kashmir and then gives Irina one last chance to make the right choice. Includes many flasbacks to Jack and Laura. The story also has two endings, in the first ending Irina makes the wrong choice, in the second she makes the right. The first ending is finished, the second is in progress. Do not read this if you can't stand very intense writing. Sometimes it's deep analysis of both Jack and Irina's psyche.
Show me Heaven by Luna | NC-17 | Finished
I would call this a romantic lovestory. The author has invented an extra category for this kind of story, called "OOA" = "Out Of Alias". Means Jack and Irina still have the same names, feelings and so on, but the whole story plays in the 19th century. Read the summary to find out more. It's a lovely story, but also quite kitschy sometimes.
On The Edge of Eternity by Deb | NC-17 | Finished
Lovely story filling in the blanks in episode 4x21 and 4x22, with flashbacks to Jack and Irina during Syd's two missing years. Only three parts, so not too long.
Deb is a really amazing writer, if you want more J/I stories by her, go here.
Godiva by clara | PG-13, last part NC-17 | Finished
Absolutely awesome story with a lot of angst, starts after season 4 when Syd has had her baby, J and I are dealing with their relationship and everything that has happened so far. Not too long, and definitely worth reading!
[An this is the point when I was looking for the next link and ended up caught in a story, so two hours have passed now actually....*rolls eyes at self*]
You Should Know Better by clara | PG-13 to NC-17 | Finished
Another of my most favourite stories ever. Set a year after the end of Season 3, Irina got a full pardon and returns to the US to make up for all the pain she inflicted on her family. Much angst, and fricking amazing writing, a bit longer.
Untitled by CC | PG-13 | Finished
This started out as a little snippet, but grew into much more. Centers around Jack and Irina during Syd's missing two years and how they found back to each other. Another totally awesome one, and not too long.
Enemies - A Love Story by Luna | NC-17 | WIP
Another OOA story: England, 1570 - Irina Derevko is a terrorist and Jack is one of the Queen's counselors. Totally awesome story with a lot of banter and nice fights between J and I. This story is like my little baby since it is the first fic I ever started reading.
Through the Looking Glass by Gavin | PG-13 | Finished
This is the story I was talking about earlier that actually involves Lena. It also involves Victor, Jack and Irina. Yes, you heard right. Plays during "The Telling", when suddenly the lights flicker and Lena/Vic change places and universes with Jack/Irina. Means, Lena and Vic are suddenly caught up in the Alias world, while the Crew inclusive JJ suddenly have to deal with the real Jack and Irina. Funniest.thing.ever. If you need a really good laugh, go read it!! (I have it printed out for that reason)
A few good shorter ones:
Tied to memories by A | NC-17 | Finished
Jack and Irina meet after the end of Season Four to do what they like most. No, not going into details. *Looks at the rating*
Fracturing Fairytales by a7r4i | NC-17 | Finished
Takes place about a year and a half after Laura's death, Jack and Irina are looking for Nadia. And for each other.
Cinnamon Heartbeats by a7r4i | NC-17 | Just Finished
Set after "The Horizon" [do NOT read if you haven's seen S5 episode 9 yet!!!] Not saying more about this story because I don't want to spoiler anyone, but it's really totally awesome.
Oh, and I have to mention Jamis, she's an awesome author as well, her stories are listed here.
Whew, I think that was about it for now!! There are many more good stories, feel free to link to your own favourites in the comments! =)
Argh, and can you believe it's almost 3 am here?? I need to learn how to resist the power of J/I happiness. Or J/I angst. Or J/I rolling around in bed together. *ahem* Did I say that?
