halfamoon | Recs: Farscape fic (Chiana, Sikozo, & Zhaan)

More Farscape recs! Again, I could not do this without

kernezelda, who went above and beyond.

This time I have recs for fics with the characters of Chiana, Sikouzo, and Zhaan - both individually and with other characters. 'Ware the spoiler warnings!

Chiana (and Chiana & Others)

The Touch of Each Hand by

pellucid, R, slash, Season 4, "Terra Firma" - Chiana changes Aeryn's mind about the beach.

Shake Loose by

sugargroupie, PG, slash/bob, between Seasons 3 and 4. So this grey girl walks into a bar... Adult themes - an excellent Chiana story, but not an easy read.

Bed of Bones by Maayan, PG-13, Season 4, het, "Promises" AU - Chiana and John, with ghosts.

Shades of Grey by

apathocles, R, gen/het, AU through early Season 4 If you keep on looking directly at the sun like that, of course you'll never be able to see properly again. Five Ways of looking at the light. Lovely and lyrical.

Gehenna by Maayan, R, het/bob, post-series, AU Chiana, after. Futurefic, in which Maayan takes everyone apart, and then puts them back - but not together. Highly recommended

Slow With The Soul by

kernezelda, G, gen/bob, post-PKW. She'd let herself fall in love, and now she's falling into pieces. In the wake of PKW, Chiana tries to keep going.

Define Happiness by

elishavah, PG-13, whole series. She tracks the droplet's every shiver and quake. That droplet is going to be her savior. Five Thing That Never Happened. (You do remember that this is the fandom with canon crack!AUs, right? Good. Hang on.)

New Again by

annakarrennina, PKW The child is sleeping, left under the watchful eyes of an Eidolon female, and once again she finds herself keeping vigil, waiting for death, waiting for life, waiting to breathe again. Actually an Aeryn story, but I like Chiana here.

Hierarchy by

thassalia, PG, gen, post-PKW There is no hierarchy of pain. The war is over, and all of them are broken.

Sikozu

Home Fires Burning, by Shaye, G, gen, Season 4 (Hot to Katrazi) The real Sikozu has sacrificed much. Very kewl sci-fi AU. Highly recommended.

Genius by

elishavah, G, gen, Season 4 It wasn't - entirely - Chiana's fault. Eli just nails the voices.

I Saw A Sibyl In A Jar by Maayan, PG-13, gen, Season 4 They feed, but the human does not know that they feed. It is like a harvest. Sikozu studies Crichton.

Cognitive Dissonance by

cofax7, G, gen, Season 4 This is what she is: she is Kalish, and she is brilliant. She works for the Institute, and she does not fail. A mission statement.

Mother Tongue by

themoonbar, PG, gen/bob, Season 4, She knows thousands of languages and even that is not enough. She's too smart. But sometimes she doesn't know enough.

Prime Meridian by

thassalia, R, slash, Season 4 Quiet is hard-won on this ship, silence not a state most of these creatures seem to relish. Aeryn and Sikozu...well, it's not really talk. *g*

Double Negative by

thassalia, PG, gen, Season 4 How do you become the person you are meant to be? Another Spudnik backstory - this one with bonus ensamble participation.

Zhaan:

Given Away by

andrastewhite, PG, gen, pre-series. Zhaan, at the tipping point. Short, but demonstrating Zhaan's layers.

To Hell and Swallowed by

voleuse, PG, gen, pre-series You can't pay attention to this world on your knees. Prose poetry. Beautiful and sad.

The Color of Light by

cofax7, G, gen, Season 1 You have been starving for seventeen cycles. Just beautiful - captures the alien nature of Zhaan.

The Eidolon Job (Studio Edit) by

redstarrobot, PG-13, gen/bob, AU -

They say she robbed a Shadow Depository, destroyed a Command Carrier, blew up a moon. And now, say the whispers, she's performed the ultimate act of piracy: wrested a superweapon from the hands of ancient gods with which to hold the whole galaxy hostage.

If the galaxy's smart, it will surrender.

Long, twisty ensamble AU.

Dying Light by

hossgal, G, gen, early Season 3 She is not yet ready to go.

The Thermodynamics of the Soul by

astrogirl2, PG, gen, Season 3, "Season of Death" Searching for Aeryn's spirit is like plummeting through ice. I adore the sense imagery in this one.

Vaster Than Empires by

astrogirl2, PG-13, Mild slash, FS: Season 3, post-"Self-Inflicted Wounds: Wait for the Wheel", DW: Nine "End of the World" Farscape/Doctor Who - Between two endings, something like a begining. When I read this one, it was with a sense of brilliant! why didn't I think of that?

And after all that - a general rec fic for anything by Shaye - on her website you can find a variety of female-centric FS fic. Go, check it out.

And please feel free to add your own recs and suggestions!
