My personal fave was Rushlight's Pathfinder, the aforementioned 120K novel with a well-developed sci-fi concept wrapped around a classic fannish nugget: the concept of unbreakable bonds. I have to confess that bonds are a personal pet peeve; I see them too often in speculative fiction and fanfiction, used as a handy shortcut for creating emotional intensity without the fuss and bother of a long relationship. But this story went straight into the dark side of bonding, and how absolutely crappy it can be to have an unbreakable emotional bond with a bad partner. A refreshing change from the usual sappy sweetness of bonding stories. In this story about genetically-engineered psychics who literally lose their minds unless they bond to a "guide", we meet Shai, a pretty young thing who encounters not one, but three possible guides, each of whom lays claim to him in a different way. The first is benign, though exploitative; the third becomes the obvious odds-on favorite by virtue of the fact that he's the only decent human being of the three. The second, and the focus of most of the story, is a sadistic super-soldier who makes his claim on Shai through a series of brutal rapes. In the end, Shai's only choice is which of the three will end up owning him.[2]
