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.

Also, if you know of any other LFN femslash please let us know. Pretty please. :)

Hmm......

I believe there is a LFN/Alias crossover femslash with Madeline and Irina somewhere out there. I quite liked that one as it combined two of my favorite strong women.

I would love to read it if you can find it.
Wow, I'm so surprised by the response to this rec. Usually when I rec odd fandoms (fandoms that aren't SVU, BSG, or BTVS) I can hear crickets. I'll chalk it up to the hotness of Peta Wilson :)

Couldn't find that one but..

I found this one by Athena4. It's Madeline and Miss Parker from Pretender.

Thanks! Now I just have to find time to read it. :)

There's also this insanity:

Taste of More by Harper. Nikita/Saffy(Absolutely Fabulous). Possibly the craziest x-over of all time, but it works. And it's hot. :) And it's Harper so you know it's good.
