More Rec's

penknife and artaxastra are on a roll, and I cannot but squee in fangirlish glee at the excellence of their piratey offerings. Don't miss Tea, the next installment of artaxastra's great new multi-part story set at the beginning of the American Revolution (the first three parts, which I rec'd the other day, are At the Sign of the Green Dragon, Teach's Hole, and Den of Iniquity). And then, for a surfeit of riches, catch penknife's latest, Proper Pirates which is wonderful in so many ways -- dark, anxious adventure, snark between Jack & James, J/E romance, plot-driven smut, perfect characterizations throughout -- that I really can't get enough of it.

Lastly, if you are familiar with the Firefly/Serenity universe, my dear friend hereswith has written Moths to the Flame, another in her series of wonderful stories about River and Mal. Beautifully poetic, and very real.

Happy reading!
