Reactions and Reviews
Try Call of the Wild (in Avon Calling III) for her only known Avon/Blake story. Not enough explicit sex for me, but I still love the way she writes Avon-leching-hopelessly-for-Blake against his own will, and the humour is fresh and delightful. The Lovett illo that inspired the story is also delightful.[1]
(A/B) -- Jane Mailander: Jane's only A/B story, a gorgeously optimistic one where Avon is dreaming about B as a satyr, and this changes the course of events on *Liberator*. The humour and "sweet" tone are lovely, though it's a bit innocent for me (contains a fade-out sex scene--aaaargh. Well she puts in the dream-sequence sex scene, but as they are about to get down to it in reality she fades it out. Lovely POV, particularly A trying to deny his attraction.[2]
A/B: Avon has a really wild, erotic dream in which Blake figures significantly, only it's Blake as he would look if he were a satyr. Needless to say, that's the catalyst for the start a sexual relationship. This is a pretty humorous (as well as pretty hot) story. And the little graphics that separate the sections of the story are hilarious. Very enjoyable.[3]
Avon dreams about Blake as a satyr and they have a lot of sex and share grapes and things. My problem with this story, which is well written, is that the Blake satyr could be characterised as 'well hung, not a rapist, and laughs a lot'. There's no dialogue between them until Avon wakes up (and not much then), and while you could certainly argue that there was tension between them before the dream (i.e. in the show) and that this caused them to fancy each other on a personal as well as physical level, I don't think it's too much to ask that some of that be in the fic too. On a personal note - there's a hilarious line about Servalan in the final wrap-up.[4]
