halfamoon | Fic Recs: Bible

There isn't much Bible-fic out there, but the little there is tends to be very good. What's even greater that many of these stories are about women.

First, I would like to recommend an author:

daegaer is a multi-fandom author who has written a great deal of Bible-fic herself, which are available in her memories. Little Dogs, for example, takes a nameless woman from the Bible and gives her a life and a personality, while This is Jezebel is a retelling of Jezebel's death, from Jezebel's own point of view. There isn't one story among her Bible-fic that I wouldn't recommend.

There are also several Bible-fics in the Yuletide-archive, and a lot of last year's stories were about women. Here are some that I liked.

One Little Ewe Lamb, by

quasiradiant. A short, painful story about Batsheva.

Sweet, Salt, and Bitter, by

wisdomeagle. A take on Rachel/Leah-sisterhood. Contains incest.

The Testimony of Batsheba, by mojavedragonfly (IJ). Young Batsheba tells the story of her family.

Writhed in the Birthing of Her, by

fresne. Story of Deborah, Bathsheba and Esther.

In the Shadow of Her Wings, by

eponis. Ruth and Naomi, stories and God.
