Zendom's Favorite Fics - The Sequel

And we continue the list of favorites of the deniZens of the Zendom list.

"Why Nineveh is still standing" by Luna
Fandom: WW (CJ/T)
Rating: R

A long Manchester I & II companion, which delves into all of the emotion we never got to see on screen, it's gorgeous stylistically, and it's by Luna, so it automatically rocks.

All the Songs by Clair Gabriel
ST: Voyager
Rating is NC17

Technically part 3 of a longer story, but it can be read alone. Quite simply the most graceful, beautifully written piece of J/C erotica out there. The term 'smut' does not do it justice. Elegant, wonderful writing, with understated, powerful emotion, structured into a larger AU that joins back into the real universe at this part.

Retina Burn by August and Penelopody

I had this sort of knot in my stomach at the end and every time I read it again (which seriously isn't that often. It's really not the kind of fic you read over and over again for the joy of it)I'd get the same result.

Summary: The Command Team are on an errand of mercy - baling Tom and Neelix out of trouble in a house of ill repute. Want to know what Neelix looks like naked? Read on... and if the thought of that makes you want to hurl your Wheaties, read on anyway.

Imagine the least likely relative to like sci-fi tells a slash story using the most cliched setup for a Star Trek PWP, totally in vernacular, and this'll top it, and make you laugh until you feel urpy.

Polar Ice Caps examines the costs -- personal, professional, and psychological -- of the actions of Naomi Sandburg in the last episode of the series, with careful skill and brutal honesty; it's both emotionally draining and fullfilling to read.

part of the Webrain's Unpossessed Country series, the whole of which can be found here. The reason why it's my favorite? Well, Jesus, check out the summary. "Oz has a deep and meaningful dream with cartoons in it." Completely accurate, both in tone and content. The story is funny, surreal, sweet, gorgeously written, *and* manages to say completely new things about characters I adore.

I have this fic bookmarked, printed out and can practically recite it by heart; it was the first Logan/Rogue fic I read and quite possibly the only one that ever needed to be written because it's just perfectly, achingly, heartbreakingly *right*. *sniff*

This 3rd and final instalment presents us with a darker Jarod, one who is resolved to end the machinations of the Centre once and for all. The characters voices are dead on, the plot is engaging, and the ending provides enough pain and happiness to satisfy both sentimental shippers and angst whores alike. A fabulous read, deconstruction was nominated for Best Action Adventure story in the 2001 Pretender Fanfiction Awards.

It's a gorgeous piece of writing in one of my favorite fandoms, the characterization is perfect, and it somehow translates the "feel" of the comics to pure prose.

I've read this story so many times and its beautiful writing, and wonderful style still makes me gasp. It's probably the best CJ story there is (though Ellen always challenges herself for the title)

This is an incredibly beautiful piece of work; technically outstanding with language that's ethereal and sensuous, Thamiris takes the reader deep inside the character's heads and their emotions creating a strong emotional bond between the reader and the characters.
