alien_altars

[leavethesky]

So ein_myria suggested that we go through our rec lists and find recs that fit each cliche and/or link to any fics that may fit the strict criteria of the alien_altars challenge. Of course, I'm all over that. think of it as, um, inspiration all you cliche ficcers;

About to die, must have hot sex

Like You Really Like It by Xena's Little Bitch is Xena/Gabrielle, Mature, impending apocalypse...again.

Aliens made us do it
Upset, Upended, and Upgraded is SG-1, Pink Rabbit. Also from the SG-1 fandom is Another Sip of Wine by JSwrdsmth.

Amnesia
I just recced two Xena fics by Ella Quince that met this criteria and there's also Purest Love by Seana James.

Bound by Bailey B, J/7, Voyager. There's also Symphony Twisted also J/7.

There is No Fucking in Hades by mirabile_dictu is SGA, Teyla/Elizabeth, NC-17 and if I haven't recced this already I should have. It's EXQUISITE!

Je me souviens by queen_zulu is Buffy/Faith, mature.

In the SGA fandom a standout from alien_altars: Fade Out to Black by bluflamingo is Laura Cadman/Katie Brown and the author deftly uses amnesia to essentially recreate Atlantis for Cadman. Amazingly done.

Another brilliant fic from the SGA fandom, must be something here by lilysaid is Teyla/Sora, Mature.


Aphrodisiacs/Sex pollen
from the Xena fandom there's The Enchantment by friction.

Daring by Blaze is SG-1, Sam/Janet.

Caught masturbating
The Water's Edge by Tegan Jovanka, Xena, NC-17.

Everyone thinks we're doing it<
Rumours of Love by Ella Quince is Xena/Gab, Mature.

Forced marriage
From SG1 and alien_altars there's the hilarious and entertaining Hey Baby, Let's go to Pegasus" which is Sam Carter/Laura Cadman.

Forced to share a bed/sleeping bag/tent
Fuzzy morning after or "do you remember what we did last night?"
Genderswitch (one or both women is turned into a man)
Huddling for warmth
Insomnia

Jealousy
Family by Harriet (SG-1, Sam/Janet) is the first fic to come to mind for this category.

Rumours of Love by Ella Quince is Xena, Mature. This could also be characterized as Everyone Thinks We're Doing It and is.

Kid fic
ugh!
eta okay, I've changed my mind. You MUST check out wizened_cynic's AJ fic (scroll to the bottom and start with the fic there). This is the crackiest crack!verse ever. This version of the crackverse has Alex knocked up at 16 and A.J. is the result. The rest of the cracky Alex/Lorelai is told from kidpov.

Multiple universes (the characters meet versions of themselves from a parallel universe)
I think SG-1 pretty much pwns this category. As One by Harriet has an alternate Janet coming back.
and Everything by Pink Rabbit involve alternate Sam's and are two of my fav fics in this fandom.

Tempus Fugit by me (yes, I'm a walking cliche!) is BTVS, Willow/Tara, Faith/Buffy.

The Broken Thread by Ella Quince is Xena, Mature.

16 Hours by Bailey B, J/7, Voyager.

Pregnancy (hey,women can get pregnant too)
wizened_cynic's Alex/Lorelei fpreg Rosemary, Rosemary over in the bun_in_oven comm devoted to that strange fic creature known as fpreg.

That Unfamiliar Activity by Xena's Little Bitch is Xena, Mature.

Slave fic
I'm pretty sure Xena's Conqueror stories pwn this category so I'll only mention a few:
The Conqueror's Touch by Xena's Little Bitch.
Penance by Penumbra
The Gift by Megan O'Brien is uber.
The Gift by Carola "Ryûchan" Eriksson is PG-13 and turns the tables making Xena the slave.

Telepathy/Soulbond
Tether by Harriet is SG-1, Sam/Janet. Not my fav Harriet fic, but still good.
A Warrior By Any Other Name by Melissa Good is actually only the first part of this enormous Xena, soulbond epic.

Già Cogli Angeli, Ivanova? by Penumbra is Babylon 5, Susan/Talia.
also Babylon 5, Susan/Talia Night by Metis. Hot telepathic sex in a shuttlecar.

Trapped together in a cave, shack, etc
A Moment of Truth by Curiositee is Xena, Mature.

Undercover as a prostitute
I got nothing. sorry.

Undercover as lovers or a married couple
Chicago 5am by L.N. James is Xena uber/original and it's a great story with a smokinghot love scene.

Not sure if this counts, but Weir and Cadman posing as a couple in order to stay together on a Wraith slave planet is surely worth something: A Place Called Home by muppetmanda is SGA, Weir/Cadman, Mature.

Virginity or virgin sacrifice
I'm not sure if this is what the mods had in mind, but Ella Quince's Return from Poteidaia is an extraordinary first-time/virginity fic. Then again, half the Xena fics are first-time fics.


Voyuerism

We almost died, must have hot sex
Near Miss by Meghan O'Brien is Xena, uber, Mature (of course!).


Yenta


That's all I've got now. I'll add more later...

edited to remove the first time ever I've had to remove a fic. I thought it ended at the second installment (it really, really should have), but the author added two more parts of truly horrific (as in disturbingly violent including rape scenes) stuff. I don't get it. It was a great fic...

Kid fic
ugh!

Hah! Hahahahahahahahahahah!!!

Seriously. I've seen this done well maybe once, and that in the Lorelia/Alex Cabot crackverse by wizened_cynic (Gilmore/Cabot). That crackverse overwhelms with hot/pretty/sexy.

[leavethesky.livejournal.com]

OMG! I totally forgot about the Alex/Lorelai crack!verse! I think there's even a pregnancy fic in there somewhere...*evil laughter*

[wizened-cynic.livejournal.com]

Hee, thanks! They make no sense, but are so pretties! Uh huh.

[wizened-cynic.livejournal.com]

I OBJECT TO THE "UGH" FOR THE KIDFIC.

I totally wrote pregnancy too. *hangs head*

[ein-myria.livejournal.com]

You're done! :DD OK, some overlap, but not that many, which is a surprise. :)

I also have more that fit each category (hmm...I guess that makes me more in love with the lesbian cliches ;P).

--
For those who have no idea what the heck I'm talking about:
My own 'How many of my fic recs are lesbian cliches?'

we almost died, we must have fic

[theholyinnocent.livejournal.com]

There is a genderswitch XWP story by Enginerd, written way back when...although I don't think they end up having sex. And there used to be one by a writer named Rooks, but I think it was pulled from the web.

Undercover as a prostitute

You'd think there'd be some SVU fic for this category. Nothing says "ho!" like Ho!Liska.

[adastranot.livejournal.com]

Hey, speaking of this business (holla!), I wanted to mention that link to Chicago 5am is kinda deadish. I guess I never sent MaryD the rest of that story so it's not all there. And my old webpage is gone. I don't think it's anywhere else. I told ralst I'd send it along to her months ago...maybe this will be the kick I need to go hunting for that file. I think it's on one of those old 5 1/2 inch floppies that actually flopped. heh..cheers!

[ein-myria.livejournal.com]

If you can't find it, here's a wayback machine version of it. :)

[adastranot.livejournal.com]

Ah, thank you! Now I can finally use that 10 year old floppy disk as a beer coaster and be done with it. That wayback thing is scary/great.

[ein-myria.livejournal.com]

LOL. I think that in a few years floppies will be collectible nostalgia items so don't bang it up too much...

Yeah I agree that the wayback thing is both scary and great. Not too many people know about it though..;p

[leavethesky.livejournal.com]

Can you let me know when/if you post Chicago 5am on P&P? I'll change the link.

[zulu]

I've written amnesia and genderswitch.
