Murder, Mayhem, and a Bard
Apr. 14th, 2008 12:55 amA few very quick recs (translation: paper as good as done, time for some fun):
In the Weeds by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
liz_estrada is Lindsay/Cindy, R and marks the conclusion of her incredible season of Women's Murder Club. Don't bother with the show, Liz Estrada's got the goods. A whole season's worth. This is a spectacular finale that pulls no punches! Someone should put this writer on the payroll at WMC.
Apparently,ralst put out a call for Women's Murder Club fic and all of femslashdom responded with stunning results, via ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
passion_perfect:
Just a Kiss is fluff by the goddess herself,ralst, Jill/Cindy. Short and very, very sweet.
You Shook Me byrandom_flores is Jill/Cindy, Mature and is a follow-up to Working Doubletime on the Seduction Line. 'meaningless sex' gets complicated...in the best, hottest way imaginable.
Closure by Degrees bydemeter94 isn't technically part of the challenge, but it is Lindsay/Cindy, Mature, and it is damn fine. When Lindsay learns that Heather is pregnant, Cindy offers to get pregnant...and Lindsay's response is typically Lindsay, as in, typically screwed up. Great stuff!
and now for some non-WMC.
Smudges bybank_farter is Fingersmith, Maud/Sue, 18 and is deliciously dark, beautiful, and haunting...yet hot.
bank_farter also pointed me toward harper_m's Fingersmith fic, Lament, also Mature, which explores the dark side of Maud's sexuality.
and some Xena
The Judging of the Queen by Pysta is Classic Xena, R. This is a beautiful post-Fin fic that's crack for all of us literary geeks (complete with Anne Carson's Sappho fragments). A great story told in beautiful, lyrical prose. Gabrielle returns to the Amazons after years of absence and must undergo three ordeals laid out by Artemis in order to recover her crown and the hearts of her tribe.
For Which the First Was Made is actually an original fic by someone named eToh, but it's found on the Atheneum's servers so I stuck it here. This is a stunning fic that shifts between POVs that slowly reveal a romantic mystery. Set in Singapore, Kris, a documentary filmmaker, is there to film the story of a closeted,very prominent lawyer. She meets a woman in the sauna who turns her world completely upside down. Flawless writing and storytelling. This fic is astonishing. And did I mention the hot?!
