New work from kres and paian

Triangulation by kres. probably needs no introduction, but the details are the timing (right before S9 started) and the pairings, which I find I'm disinclined to mention. Let's say that it's about Daniel and it's slash, but also about misunderstandings and missed signals. I think this could be one of my favorite of Kres's work. All other praise applies: gorgeous prose, haunting evocative atmosphere, and an overwhelming feeling of emptiness and loss as Daniel makes plans to leave.

And then there's paian, the Beautiful One. Her last minute October contribution to the fanfic is the tame dark-fic Bound, an indescribable take on Jack and Daniel in S5. Most would say the friendship suffered, or there were words exchanged and no time to take them back, or the UST was never spoken and now there is only loss. But what if they were trying the whole time? What if the collective weight of their sadnesses just got overwhelming and THAT'S why they fell apart? I'm beginning to adore whatever dark corner of Paian's harddrive is sheltering these beautiful pieces.

And, as if this wasn't a fantastic enough day, Paian's fic4martha was posted for everyone to read and it's gorgeous. The S9 Jack and Daniel has it's own set of challenges, and this is a brilliant dance around those and an amazing look into a gesture frought with meaning. I'm too tired to do it justice here, but go read anyway. Lodgecombing.

Janet gets her own rec list.

It's a doctor fetish. Found a new fic today with Janet in it, and thought, self, you are NAMED after minxy!Janet. Time to build a proper shrine to your namesake.

[Reccer's note: I'm ridiculously behind updating these lists. If you're up for a little sleuthing, you'll find new recs under this tag and all tossed together.]

And here she is. Updates forthcoming.

Janet in the This is Not Wartime series! From cofax7! I'm so excited. Stands alone, apocafic: Live So Long, gen, link to part 1.

Betacandy, at betacandy_sgfic has posted a brilliant Janet's introduction to the team fic, S1, just post Emancipation. Assess This, PG, gen. Fabulous voice, amazing instant relationships as well as those that take a little longer to settle in, really good observation skills from Janet and I love the sense that this is not the only thing she's done today, not the wierdest, and possibly not the most important, but goodness, it left an impression.

teand wrote a great five things for Janet, in which she remains professional and spunky, and says hilarious things in a marvelous internal dialog Janet voice. Five Things Janet Fraiser Didn't Put in her Medical Reports, for ducks_in_a_row.

What it is to be a woman in this man's military, on a bad day: teand's Infirmary, After Sam and Janet, post rape-trauma, emotions flying everywhere and walking the line between doctor and friend.

Cleanliness Is Next to Godliness by kaz. Meridian missing scene between Janet and Daniel. Between those moments when Sam says 'he could still be radioactive!' and Daniel tells Jack how his body will fail, Janet is with him in those between times, and her heartbreak and professionalism is very realistic to me. This could squick you out if you are squeemish about cleaning mouths and noses and harsh cleaning solvents, but from my POV it's not too graphic. S5, first person POV.

Every Art and Artifice by the stylus Beautiful and heartbreaking backstory for Janet, nicely explores the irony of healer/soldier, and is a brilliant character study.

Quarantine by Joag. Very talented writer here taking on Daniel's POV as he and the rest of the team get sick off world and simultaneously take care of each other with limited means. The end particularly spoke to me because I've had declarations of love and marriage from recovering patients, and it never gets old. Plus, I have this thing about character voices, and Daniel's is very well done here. Short, gen, lovely.

And, because I haven't pointedly recc'd this before on LJ but have shouted to the rooftops how much I love in other venues, I rec now: Dinner With Janet by sideburns. = alyburns on LJ J/D, Janet's POV, Late Season 7, pretty marvelously wonderful. And I LOVE Janet. Note the caps, so a fic set after Heroes that works with canon and still earns my LOVE (and detailed gushy f/b)? Uh huh. LOVE, people.

And, while we're on Janet, Rocketchick's Before Knowing Remembers is also wonderous. It's the rare femslash rec, but worth it, really worth it, for extraordinary use of canon, continuity, Cassandra, AUs.... bloody marvelously crafted story. You might also check out her Janet vid Where Do I Begin?, which is unspeakably well done with fantastic music.
