LINGERING ON THE FRINGES #2
The angsty lyrics of Sarah McLachlan fit the B7 universe very
well indeed, although I personally always tend to think of them
in connection with Pat's Fargone universe, since that's where I
was first introduced to them. In =Lingering on the Fringes=, the
songs are applied to various fandoms, leading to some stories
that are a bit darker than the author's usual output. "The
Moving of the River" is an A/B story that deals with the problem
of Blake's past, and the nightmarish memories that the Federation
implanted in him to help make the false charges stick. Avon's
rational approach to the matter helps Blake to cope. In general I
liked the story, but I did feel that Avon's dialogue sometimes
sounded a little too stilted and Spock-like, a minor problem that
I've noticed in several K/S-turned-A/B writers (and a few
artists, too). Now, if only they would switch over exclusively
to B7, I'm sure the problem would solve itself quickly. ;)
