La Femme Nikita

[leavethesky]

I never got into this show despite the hotness of Peta Wilson in the title role. I was a rabid fan of the original French version so I couldn't bring my snobby self to watch the show. plus, the love interest (whatever his name was) in the TV version was played by what my ex-actor GF likes to call a 'ham sandwich' actor. And pairing him w/Peta was just wrong.

Anyway, stumbled across this wonderful femslashy fic months ago and just had to share:

Zero Point, Nikita/Madeleine, mature by jaybee65 (whose LJ tag I can't remember at the moment!) is wonderfully done. Although it draws heavily from canon you don't have to be a viewer to figure out what's going on (or I would have been completely lost!). Plus, the flashbacks feel like the original film, which is always a bonus. For me anyway. This is a tightly woven story about power and artifice and sex and... just a fantastic read. This is relatively dark (we'll call it twilight, not pitch black), so you have been warned.

edited to add the correct LJ tag for jaybee and to link to the story on LJ...housekeeping.

I think seeing the American version of the film after the French put me off ever watching the tv series, despite the presence of Peta Wilson. But I'll not let that stop me taking a look *g*

Oh and another resquest, which you can ignore to your hearts content if you wish, but do you know about any more Grey's Anatomy femslash, preferably Izzie/Addison? I've read trancer's and the others you've recommended, but don't know where to find more... God I'm whiny today.

exactly! I managed to avoid the american version of the film altogether. One look at Bridget Fonda in those ridiculous skirts and I was all, are you kidding me with this shit?

as for Izzie/Addison...I wish!!! I'll do another spin through my bookmarks and make sure though. the femslash has been piling up lately so one could have fallen through the cracks...in my brain.

Bookmarks? Is there a GA femslash or femslash friendly site out there? I really need to update my bookmarks.
