My Rare Pair Fest Gifts, Let Me Show You
Going to emergency pinch hit seems to have worked out.
I got an awesome story, called The Wild (Star Trek TOS, Mirror Pike/Mirror Number One). So I threw this mirror couple on my nominations and request list because I had extra space, and because I love Pike/Number One. It makes me happy. I love Number One on her own, but the two of them together are so good.
And that was a really good choice. The ISS Enterprise finds itself at a little planet called Talos IV... the inverted events in this are nicely done, and it addresses a hole in the original episode "Mirror, Mirror" - how did Kirk get rid of Pike? (I believe in the ep it references his murder.) There's also a nice callout to The Menagerie. And because this is a ship fest, the new Adam and Eve. It's over 4400 words of awesomeness! Go read it.
I also got a treat (I love treats, and I so rarely get them) that may interest more of the crowd that hangs around here. It's a Vorkosigan Saga work called Till Things Are Brighter, dealing with Ivan/Tej before Aral's funeral. I love Ivan/Tej and this is so wonderfully them. The author proposes the link between funerals and fatigues that seems VERY Barrayaran. It's a tender shippy scene to which I recommend bringing a tissue. I really really like it.
I'll do a recs post once reveals happen, but at a first glance there's a Bucky Barnes/Maria Hill fic that looks promising, and a sensual Mummy fic with Evy/Rick/Ardeth that I don't recommend reading with curious eyes in the room.
