Theme: Fork in the Road AU

Summary: A mere moment, passing unnoticed. A choice, unremarkable in a daily web of choices. And thus two Prowlers, two pilots... and two very different destinations.

Reccer's Notes: Max spins this AU off from the very beginning of the series: it is not Aeryn Sun, but Tauvo Crais, who gets swept along with Moya's escape. Which, in Max's story, has all sorts of fascinating consequences for John and Moya's crew, for Aeryn, and for Scorpius and his research. This story twists the plot and characters, but keeps them believable, and extrapolates brilliantly on the canon and worldbuilding. Aeryn Sun is even more a badass than in canon, and she still has breathtaking chemistry with John Crichton, but they get there in a very different way.

Disclaimer: I was a beta on this series many years ago, but I honestly think it still holds up.

Summary: Two pilots walk into a bar.

Reccer's Notes: A constructed reality vid where two characters from completely different shows meet at a bar and have a sexy good time. It's so well done and really hot. A personal favorite vid.

Theme: crossovers, crossover pairings, marriage, old fandoms, pre-AO3 works, female characters, interspecies pairing, small fandom

Summary: The truth about Londo Mollari's first wife, or: What Chiana did next.

Reccer's Notes: This is a crossover idea that feels like it shouldn't work, and yet does. Chiana needs something in the Centauri palace in order to get home to Moya, and Londo Mollari is her ticket in. Selena takes a bit of Londo's backstory--his first wife the dancer--and deftly slots Chiana in. The character voices are superb.

Summary: The intersection of women and technology on a spectrum of clones, gynoids, AIs, cyborgs, and other artificial creations.

Reccer's Notes: This is a great song, with PERFECT editing and source-picking. Some of the sources are pretty obscure, but nontheless really add to the theme of the vid, it must have taken so much work to put it all together and it's really fun to watch.

Summary: The crew discover a dead leviathan whose Pilot and crew have all been murdered. But who was responsible and could the same fate be about to befall Moya?

Reccer's Notes: This fic would have been a perfect canon episode. The plot is amazing, the foreshadowing is awesome and the villains are imaginative and super creepy and the characters are all very well-written and, like a lot of canon, the crew's choices end up causing a lot of problems. Outstanding fic.

Summary: Ten years after the Peacekeeper Wars, Olivia Critchon opens the door to find her brother on her front step.

Reccer's Notes: An excellent Farscape fic, plotty with good characterization - the kids are especially nice (written as strong and smart but still young kids), fits well with canon, nice family themes.

Reccer's Notes: I LOVE this and have watched it dozens of times at least, and also shown it to many of my friends. The editing is superb, the song choice amazing, the characters and their story so very, very hot... And, as a person who has a hard time "getting" vids, I also love how accessible this vid's narrative structure is.

Summary: John Crichton returns to Earth.

Reccer's Notes: This fic won awards, or something, I think, because it's like the go-to rec whenever someone talks about Farscape fic - and with good reason! It's a great outsider POV type thing, of John and Aeryn returning to Earth (written before that actually happened in canon, I think, but either way an interesting alternate way that they could've made it back) and it really emphasizes how alien John himself has become after years in the black. Really great read.

Theme: Crossover-Fusion

Summary: The Seventh Doctor and Ace become involved in a rebellion against the Peacekeepers.

Reccer's Notes: It makes perfect sense for the Doctor to become involved in a rebellion against the Peacekeepers. Of course if the Doctor happens to drop into a situation of rebellion against oppressors, he's going to help. It's what the Doctor does! Since this is told from mainly Ace's point of view, one doesn't have to be familiar with the Farscape universe, really. This has got so much in it: adventure, rebellion, plans, betrayal, dilemmas, good, evil, good intentions, gizmos, loyalty, encouragement, and a hopeful ending. And Baniks, of course. With a great Stark, and Planning!Doctor and GungHo!Ace, and, like, it's great, okay?
