Links Thus Far

Hello, 13th Warrior Slashers and Generally Wonderful People (not to mention fast reviewers! Thanks, guys!). Mlyn wanted me to post the links to all the 13th warrior slash I've found thus far (in my semi-desperate search for more of this wonderful universe). At any rate, here's what I have so far, as well as a short review of each. If you know of anything not covered in this list, for the love of God, let me in on it. I'm hoping to create an archive sooner or later for the Herger/Ahmed pairing.

Some of this you may already have, as this is where I got some of my fics, so don't mind the repetition.

Anywhoo, here's the list:

First and foremost, Mlyn's slash stories, which I won't say much about since she runs this place. Gods and Monsters, its sequel The Tunisian, and, finally Roads and Their Travelers. These are wonderful fics. Everyone should read the classic Herger/Ahmed epic Gods and Monsters!

Another lovely Herger/Ahmed fic comes from Keelywolfe. This story is deliciously NC-17, and pretty well written. I like her characterizations, but everyone has their own envisionment of Herger and Ahmed. Trickster is well worth a look.

Debel's untitled Ahmed/Herger fic is also yummy and smutty, though perhaps not as attentive to character.

Cheyenne Dancer's Herger/Ahmed A Bond Between Warriors is a little purple prose-y for me, but it's satisfyingly lengthy and detailed. Definitely NC-17, with more detailed smut than the stories above.

From the same website is well-written but somewhat unsatisfying pre-slash from lofn entitled Visiting Memories. It lies - it's not really NC-17.

Here's a beautiful little PG-13 fic by applecameron titled My Brothers. It's just darn good writing.

Hergerbabe re-wrote the film to make it slashier. It's not the world's greatest writing, but it's a neat idea. Respectable. My 13th Warrior.

Delphi (atdelphi on LJ) wrote beautiful and hopeful Herger/Ahmed preslash titled Little Brother. She put it back up just so I could use it for the archive (she was embarrassed about the story), so definitely, if you can, send her an email telling her how amazing the fic is and thank her!

The fics written for the Yuletide events are incredibly beautifully written, detailed, and delicious. As far as writing is concerned, I think Nos4a2no9's Go Bravely to the Morning goes home with the prize, but I'm also really fond of the different character dynamics in Repaired with Peace by Stuffwelike. Both are satisfyingly long. Check out the general 13th warrior section for more yumminess fanficiton wise.


Well, that's all I have so far. Hopefully it's got at least one thing that you haven't read yet : ).

Oooh, thank you, I will have to save the list for happy reading time!

Thank you so much for doing this! Having a list that I know is updated is awesome. I hadn't read [livejournal.com profile] atdelphi's fic, and it is wonderful. (Feedback has been written!)

PS: The links to Cheyenne Dancer's and lofn's fics appear to be broken. (I didn't think Geocities was going away that fast!) I used the Wayback Machine and got some archived copies of the fics. (Try this link. (http://web.archive.org/web/20041015023853/http://de.geocities.com/bokthersa0/index2.html)) I've been thinking about creating an archive for this fandom since a lot of the fic is so old and prone to getting lost (case in point). If I do get off my duff and make an archive, I'll definitely post them.

It's hard to link to a specific story because of the frames on the website. The link is sort of the same except for the web archive code at the beginning.

I copied the direct link to the stories and then removed the web archive code to see if the site would still load the page, and it worked. I don't know why I can't load the main page, then.

So here's Cheyenne's story without the frames on her site. A Bond Between Warriors (http://de.geocities.com/bremy_logan/Cheyenne/Bond.html).

And Lofn's: Visiting Memories (http://de.geocities.com/b13warrior/Memories.html).

okay, there is this by me (http://community.livejournal.com/13_warrior/23537.html#cutid1) an epic length poem. I do intend to do a similar fic in prose/regular story. Maybe on my vacation.

I also would accept a challenge. As in, "hey I'd love to see...." and then I would toss it over and over in my mind until a fic popped out.

Yay for self-pimpage. :D

Hm, a challenge...I've tried instituting a challenge for this fandom before, at the small fandom fest community, to little result. But how about: Herger meeting Arabs for the first time. (Doesn't have to be Ahmed.) What he thinks of them, how he acts around them.

no problem. *goes to read some on your list*

thanks for the kind words

Looking forward to reading what everyone else has come up with.

Hey Irish, Simarillion posted a recs list on Dreamwidth (here (http://simarillion.dreamwidth.org/8573.html)), and she had a new fic in the list I hadn't seen before. I thought you might want to add it to your bookmarks, if not to your rec list. :D

It's by Hergerbabe, and there's only a cached copy of the fic. Return to Venden (http://web.archive.org/web/20021129001529/http://www.geocities.com/hergerbabe/rv1.html).

Note as I do a lot of link housekeeping: applecameron's fic My Brothers is here (http://archiveofourown.org/works/21412) at Archive Of Our Own, and no longer at insanejournal.
