River/Jayne Rec50 Table

Claim: Firefly; Jayne/River
Prompt: Anger
Title: Choices
Author: mik109
Rating: NC-17
Length: epic
Brief summary: Choices is an essential Rayne fic. Mik's incredible handling of River's backstory, the situation that forces River and Jayne into making an awful sacrifice, and each character are powerful. And the smut is great. There are four separate sex scenes in this nine-chapter series! Readers should be aware, however, that the series deals with adult themes, including non-consenual sex (though we don't see any).
Link: “We don’t have time for any attacks of conscience. We either make certain she’s not acceptable or we fight.”

Scrambled, Email Tag

Claim: SGA
Prompt: 21: Epiphany
Title: Scrambled
Author: packmentality
Rating: PG-13
Length: Medium
Brief summary: One of the beauties of SGA as a fandom is the writers' ability to take day characters and turn them into something special. The author has done just that with Stackhouse and Markham, telling a love story in quantum mechanics.

Claim: SGA
Prompt: 14: Loss
Title: Email Tag
Author: pentapus
Rating: PG
Length: Medium
Brief summary: Another way SGA writers get creative is with structure and format. The author does a surprisingly good job of telling a story in a series of emails, wherein things go snafu and John goes missing. If you grant the author the premise and take any errors as intentional, this is a really fun read.
