Alien recs

[resonant]

saridout and _inbetween_ evidently haven't consumed their recommended daily allowance of "Aliens make them do it" stories, so here's a small collection of my favorites. I welcome other recs!

Blake's 7 (Avon/Tarrant): Duty by Pat Jacquerie. Long and hot and hits nearly every kink I've got; this is one of my most-often-re-read stories.

Stargate Atlantis (Sheppard/McKay): Proof by Contradiction by astolat

Stargate SG1 (Jack/Daniel): Objectives by astolat

Voyager (Paris/Torres/Kim): Epiphany by Merri-Todd Webster (aliens aren't the first cause, but they have input)

Voyager (Chakotay/Paris): First Contact by Ruth Devero (this is a pose-as-slaves story)

Who on earth wrote that Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy slash? It was called Aliens Make Ford and Arthur Have Sex, and I thought it was at Yuletide, but I can't find it.

For obvious reasons, these stories are a lot more common in sci-fi universes than in realistic or magical ones. In Harry Potter I suppose the equivalent would be "Death Eaters force them to have sex" -- those usually hit my torture squick, but I quite liked icarusancalion's Ron/Draco story, Beg Me For It.

Oh, thanks! [goes off to read them again]

[http://users.livejournal.com/_inbetween_/]

Ooooooch, they are all so realistic! *pout* I was expecting aliens in non-alien-infested canon ;P *must go write some*

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Go for it! And tell me where when you put it up!

I've linked my rec, because there is also DVD commentary and a sequel with MPREG, not to be missed.

[kassrachel.livejournal.com]

Somebody wrote a surprisingly good XMM one -- aliens have captured Charles and Erik. Charles, being telepathic, understands what the aliens want them to do, and has to explain it to Erik, who reacts poorly (surprise) but in the end has to go along with it. Set long after their embittered breakup, so it's a little bit awkward and a little bit sad and also quite wonderful. I wish I could remember where I read it or who was responsible for it, though. :P

[copernica3.livejournal.com]

It was penkife, I'm positive. I forget the title, tho. That *was* wonderful.

Off-stage aliens count, right?
Stargate SG1 Jack/Daniel

[pandarus.livejournal.com]

Ngah.

The Avon/Tarrant...ngah!

::is dead from the hotness::

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Oh, it gets you too? It totally gets me. I'd like a ten-volume set of that.

[teot.livejournal.com]

There's a few in Smallville, but I can't think of them right now. Hmm, oh, I know! I'm pretty sure that The Spike wrote one.

[auroramama]

When did you first read =Duty=?

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

I don't remember, actually. Not when it was new, I'm sure. I'm not in B7 fandom -- Pat's may be the only B7 stories I've ever read -- so I must have followed a link from someone's recs page. It's amazing, isn't it?

[cofax7]

Well, there's that so-called classic of X-Files, The Sound of Windchimes. It's definitely "aliens made us have sex".

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

I'm not familiar with that one. Do you have a link?

Thanks for these!

A rec for a rec: I haven't read Voyager for almost ten years, but of all the aliensmakethemdoit!fic that I vaguely remember from back then, I liked What Price Freedom? (http://amothea.slashcity.com/voyager/whatprice.txt) the best. C/P. Not sure if it stands the test of time. /unknown person


("Duty"! That's such a great story. Pat Jac's "A Marketable Commodity" is also borderline "aliens make them do it". And, um. Hot.)

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

The only possible fault I can find with "A Marketable Commodity" is that it isn't ten times longer than it is. Yes, very, very hot.

I remember "What Price Freedom" fondly from my Voyager days, but it doesn't impress me much this time around. Voyager was my first exposure to slash, and I wasn't so jaded back in those days, alas.

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

Oh, recs! And from you I know I can trust them. Have downloaded 'Duty' and imagegoogled pics of the characters as I have seen one episode of Blake's 7 in my life and fell asleep 1/4 of the way through. The authors seem to have no fb email...?

Whee, aliens made them do it! Reminds me of your origfic...

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

P.S.

In Harry Potter I suppose the equivalent would be "Death Eaters force them to have sex"
A better equivalent: wizards made them (Muggles) have sex. Or a spell made them (whoever) have sex. Because aliens aren't necessarily evil while Death Eaters are.

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

"A spell made them" -- now I'm sure I've read five million of those, though I can't remember any of them offhand.

Categories

[wordwitch.livejournal.com]

And, of course, preferring to have such things on hand at all times, I download them, assign categories, and put them on my PDA.

The category for this is: Amudi. Amudi.

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Amudi?

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

I am loving 'Duty' beyond belief, and I am only on page 16. Ah, the heavenliness of having pages and pages of deliciousness yet before me.

Also, sadly, I have realised why there is no feedback email on the homepage, because the author died in 2001. I felt very strange reading that. Did you read the fic when it first came out? It is the first time that I am reading fanfic without being able to send the author any feedback, and it is sobering and strange, the way her fics remain in the virtual world like a ghost.

But god, that woman had a way with sentences and pacing. Thanks so much for reccing this. I will have to squee at you now, for want of anyone else. :-(

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I felt a little weird about that when I found out, too.

I've never been in B7 fandom, so I'm sure I found the story by means of a rec; I had no context about it and had no idea who the author was or anything. But I had read it many times and recced it far and wide before someone gently informed me that, uh, there was a really good reason why the author was no longer writing ...

[norah.livejournal.com]

I just found this on my flist and I can't believe she didn't drop you a link to it, as it was written in your honor! littera_abactor's The Delicate Arts of Negotiation (http://www.livejournal.com/users/littera_abactor/2421.html), SG-1, PG-13. WONDERFUL. GO. READ. NOW.

[eileenlufkin.livejournal.com]

The Smallville one by Shrift that hrd02ca mentioned is here:

http://smallville.slashdom.com/archive/4/whatyou.html

I think the magic world equivalent to "Aliens make them do it" is "Sex Magic to Save the World" I know I've read at least one good Xander/Giles in Buffy fandom, and several in Harry Potter.

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the link! I remember that story!

Sex Magic to Save the World is a lovely category, but it doesn't quite have the element I like best in Aliens Make Them Do It, which is "We're powerless! Nothin' we can do! Might as well, uh, have multiple orgasms! We can deny it all later!"

spike21 also wrote an SV one:

Hot, hot, hot...

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Oh yes! I remember the bees.

[thems.livejournal.com]

There's nel_ani's Textbook Example, which is Ford/McKay/Sheppard and extremely funny:
http://www.pertifity.com/fanfic/textbook.htm

And I dropped by from a friendsfriends page, if you're wondering who I am. ;)

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Cool -- that one's new to me. (Though I find it really difficult to go to a Ford sex place. He's not that young -- only he kind of is.)

[besnef.livejournal.com]

Not sure how I originally got here but enjoyed the heck out of the links and did want to add:

Hell or High Water (http://www.livejournal.com/community/batfic/26274.html) Bruce/Clark DCU Comicverse

and also to point out the similar/intersecting cliche in DCU generally, the "sex pollen" fic. Te has a collection of same (along with other cliche fic) collected at the archive Crossdressing For Justice (http://teland.com/cliche/index.html)

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Ooh, new stuff! Thanks.

[exceptinsects.livejournal.com]

AND what about The Same Everywhere by Jane Mortimer? I think that might have been the first slash story I ever read.

Mulder's body gets taken over by an alien that makes him have sex with Krycek.

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Oh, man, I haven't read that for years!
