Review: ' The thing about the end of the world is that it gets increasingly difficult to find coffee.' Is the first line of this short fic and a great summary of the post-apocalyptic gem.
I love zombie stories, of every shape and size, but I have a particular penchant for the stories that show the slow creeping horror of the survivors who get used to a world made up of prey and predator, with only hints of civilization in sight.
The fact that the main characters of this story are Edmund and Susan, a King and Queen of Narnia, only adds to the quiet desperation this fic exudes. They know how to live in an uncivilized and unfair world, they've experienced it all before, and they believe they deserve it because they betrayed Aslan and Narnia.
The author wrote this fic as incest, but the snippet of this world that is shown, is about family, not romance, so it's easy to ignore any incestuous overtones. The first time I read through the story I didn't even realize it was supposed to be incest. Still if you're particularly sensitive to ambiguous sibling relationships this story probably isn't for you.

This Temporary Flesh and Blood
Title: Bases Loaded
Fandom: Star Trek XI
Pairing: Spock/Kirk
Categories: Romance, Hurt/Comfort, Drama
Length: Epic
Warnings: There's references to a dubious-consent laden relationship from Kirk's past, but it isn't explicit so reader mileage may vary.

Review:
As the Enterprise begins her voyage, Jim Kirk tries to deal with the loneliness of being a Captain. Luckily, he's got Spock to help.
It took me a few tries to get into this story, mostly because of the characterization of Jim Kirk. I'm used to reading him as the strong but silent type, or even the out-and-out cocky bastard that everybody loves, not the slightly-broken and profoundly lonely man he is in this fic. That's why, I think, it's one of the most satisfying reads I've had in a while.
The author does an amazing job of juxtaposing the silly and the serious in this story without leaning too far on either side. Spock, in particular, is a constant source of glee for me, if not just because of the playful possessiveness he exudes throughout the series, and the affection that grows between them because of this is toe-curlingly good. Jim, in his turn, is a study in insecurities and misunderstandings, often assuming the worst before all the cards have been laid on the table and intensely affected by memories from his past.
I can't go into everything this series offers, of which there is a lot, but if you have the time or the inclination to read about a more vulnerable Jim or a more emotional Spock, I definitely recommend this series.

It took me a few tries to get into this story, mostly because of the characterization of Jim Kirk. I'm used to reading him as the strong but silent type, or even the out-and-out cocky bastard that everybody loves, not the slightly-broken and profoundly lonely man he is in this fic. That's why, I think, it's one of the most satisfying reads I've had in a while.
The author does an amazing job of juxtaposing the silly and the serious in this story without leaning too far on either side. Spock, in particular, is a constant source of glee for me, if not just because of the playful possessiveness he exudes throughout the series, and the affection that grows between them because of this is toe-curlingly good. Jim, in his turn, is a study in insecurities and misunderstandings, often assuming the worst before all the cards have been laid on the table and intensely affected by memories from his past.
I can't go into everything this series offers, of which there is a lot, but if you have the time or the inclination to read about a more vulnerable Jim or a more emotional Spock, I definitely recommend this series.
