Templum Bellonae

Beginning immediately after John, Aeryn, D’Argo, and Rygel return to Moya after ???????? ????? ????????A Human Reaction, Chiana has some difficulty adjusting to being part of the crew—or even deciding if she wants to stay at all.

I have to say, it’s Chiana’s interactions with everyone on the ship, particularly Aeryn, that make this story so good.

Tit for Tat (The Family Feud Remix) by Thea

An episode tag for Suns and Lovers. With bondage. Better yet, reciprocal bondage.

Fair Exchange by Shan

This goes AU after Season 3. Aeryn leaves Moya, and returns, but she’s a little fuzzy on what’s happened in the meantime. When they finally figure it out, she and John attempt to retrieve something from Grayza’s command carrier, with less-than-ideal results.

I like this story, but I’m not sure I’d have bothered to recommend it if it weren’t for the awesome follow-up fics, all of which I liked better. Here are all the stories in the series:

• The Future or Something Like It by Officersun524
• Future’s End by Kernezelda
• Future Interruptus by Kernezelda
• Days of Future Past by Officersun524
• A Shared Future by Kernezelda

Future’s End recounts the beginning and end of John’s time with Grayza. I don’t want to spoil anything, but I will say that I like the original characters, especially the most important one, and I like getting to see a bit of Braca’s point of view and feelings about Crichton, something that will continue in the other stories.

Days of Future Past and A Shared Future are alternate versions of the same basic events, both set after John’s rescue from Grayza.

Future Interruptus is a companion to Future’s End, filling in the details of the time John was with Grayza, from her point of view. I suggest that this be read last, even though chronologically it takes place earlier, for a couple of reasons. The most important is that it’s simply a better story than any of the others, and I think the later stories suffer a bit in comparison. Unlike the others, Future Interruptus is a character piece; although it has a plot, the real focus is on Grayza and the relationship she (thinks she) has with John. Maybe it’s just me, but I’ll take a good character-driven story over an equally good plot-driven one any day, and as an exploration of Grayza’s character, Future Interruptus is more than good; it’s superb.

(I’ve come to have more of an appreciation for her since I watched Rebecca Riggs, the actress who plays her, talk about Mele-On Grayza in clips from the Season 4 DVD on Youtube.)

The Future or Something Like It by Officersun524 and Kernezelda

This is a multi-part, in-progress AU spinoff from Unrealized Realities, exploring how John Crichton might have come to be a Peacekeeper Captain. Although it’s unfortunately not finished yet, the first two seasons (up until When the Chips are Down) are complete, and the latest update (The Devil You Know) was posted March 22, 2008, so it’s still being updated!

In Unrealized Peacekeeper, Tauvo Crais manages to avoid a collison with John’s module, so the escaping prisoners on Moya don’t bother to recapture John and Aeryn. Instead, John is put to work on wormhole tech by Captain Crais.

I love this story so much. The characterizations are wonderful, and so is the plot. It manages to be faithful to the big events of Farscape canon, while still telling its own story. If it’s ever complete, it may rival In the Company of Ghosts as my favourite Farscape story.

Unrealized Peacekeeper by OneEye

The Moyans are asked to investigate the murder of a man they had rescued from a damaged ship. Crichton has some Maltese Falcon-esque fun.

Male from Home by Bob Hutchinson

A straightforward summary won’t do this story justice, but it’s all I have to offer. John and Aeryn are captured and forced to work in a mine. While Aeryn takes care of them both, John has an identity crisis.

I was a little frustrated with the writing style as first, but by the end I knew it was the right way to tell this story.

Fiction in the Space Between by Scapekid

It’s actually surprising I haven’t found more Farscape/SG-1 crossovers, especially since it seems I’m not the only one who got into SG-1 only because Ben Browder and Claudia Black joined the cast. (Or in my case, just Claudia Black, because I don’t think I’ve ever loved a fictional character the way I love Aeryn Sun.)

If you scroll down a bit, you’ll also find the awesome, and sad, Five times John wasn’t saved from Scorpius.

Five ways Aeryn Sun kicked Cameron Mitchell’s ass by Thea

Well, the title kinda says it all, doesn’t it?

Wet Dreams in the Dark by Julie Fortune

Awkward first-time alien sex, complete with embarrassing translator microbe mix-up. Such a classic Farscape situation.

Indoctrination by Kernil Crash

Crichton gets caught in a bar fight, with unexpected consequences.

In Need of Sunlight by Kernil Crash

Takes place after Dog with Two Bones, in an imaginary future where John and Aeryn have rebuilt their relationship. Aeryn and the others rescue John from Scarran torture, but it may be too late to save him.

Child of the Night by Kernil Crash

John’s immune system destroys his translator microbes, leaving him unable to communicate directly with any of the others.Set after Different Destinations but before Eat Me.

Voices of Reason by Kernil Crash

Aeryn gets a very tempting offer from one of her old PK friends.

Change of Heart by ScribLL

John takes Aeryn away for a little break. Set during Terra Firma, before the Christmas decoration scene. Later stories in the series are ep fillers for the rest of Season 4.

Stolen by Casper F. Joke

I’m not insulting this story at all when I say that the best thing about it is the summary:

Moya itches; Pilot bitches; Zhaan discovers herbal riches; John and Aeryn fall in ditches.

Peace, Through Superior Firepower by Cret Kid

22 years after Bad Timing, a young woman finds out there’s a lot she never knew about her crazy father and her dead mother. I like the idea behind this series, although I find the execution a little rushed—it seems like a lot of important scenes were left out, leaving the character development a little sketchy. It’s still good, though, and I really hope it’s finished one day.

Finding Herself by Auna

Cute baby-fic. Goes AU after Dog with Two Bones.

Baby Makes Three by Aeryncrichton

John teaches Aeryn to play checkers.

“It’s a game,” he said, watching her from the corner of his eye. “It teaches strategy. You’d like it, it’s like a battlefield without all the blood.”

Aeryn gave him a look that she hoped clearly expressed that a battlefield without blood was pretty frelling pathetic.

King Me by Fourteen Lines

The ultimate TalynJohn/Aeryn series, from Green-Eyed Monster through Icarus Abides.

The Talyn Suite by Robyn Bender

Goes slightly AU in Season 3; both Johns make it onto Talyn.
