Science Fiction recs 1

[green-grrl.livejournal.com]

Happy Monday! For my recs topic this week, I chose science fiction. Most of my fandom life has been about science fiction books, movies and shows, with a smidge of fantasy thrown in. However I've also always appreciated magical realism, the absurd, and any well-done drama--and Due South delivers on all of those in spades.

The Due South canon also flirted a bit with sci fi, fantasy and horror themes: a whiff of the superhero around Fraser's abilities, Fraser and RayV's ghostly dads, the talking wolf, Fraser and RayK's run-in with Vodou, Fraser and RayV's visit to the government's UFO facility and RayK's childhood abduction by aliens. But it has been up to the fanfic writers to expand on the genre in Due South, and boy have they!

(I won't be including stories leaning more towards magical realism than sci fi, e.g., most genderswitch, bodyswap, transformation or wing!fic. Since they are such popular fanfic tropes, I'll leave the pleasure for another reccer--or another of my own reccing opportunities. ;-)

So, without further ado, here are some recs for fics in major science fiction themes:

( Aliens )

( Time Travel )

( Powers and Superpowers )

Please feel free to share your own recs for sci fi Due South fics in the comments! (Especially other than Fraser/RayK. :-)

Coming up next post: Supernatural, Horror and Fantasy Due South fics.
