Story: Betrayal
Author: edzel2
Rating: Adult
Word Count: 5294
Author's Summary: Part One of my series, The Master Chronicles. This is Lucy's story, told through her eyes from when she first meets Harold Saxon to her final act of betrayal on board the Valiant.
Characters/Pairings:Lucy/SimmMaster
Warnings: Explicit Sex, Explicit Violence, Swearing

Recced because: This story is a bit more adult than many I've seen recced here but the ticklish subject matter is handled with a maturity and grace that speaks volumes. The eloquent words seem to pull you right into the brain of a young woman called Lucy and you can watch as horrified as she, herself, is as her world falls down. The author manages to rise above your insipid I-used-to-be-evil-but-the-Doctor-came-and-I-got-better portrayal f Lucy and shows instead a girl as human as you and I and as easily relate-able.

Author's Summary: Five/Tegan. "Two years for you, Tegan, but all it took me was seven minutes to realize how unfair everything you told me was. Seven minutes and all of your twenty years gone for me to sort it all out."
Characters/Pairings: Five/Tegan
Warnings: None

Recced because: From the very first second of this story the beauty is ever present. You don't have to have read the novel that inspired this story to love and understand this story, Tegan and Five ring incredibly true even unto the bittersweet ending. I hope you enjoyed my recs this week, I was honoured to rec them to you.
