Scedasticity
Fandom: Farscape
Genre: Epistolary
Pairing: John Crichton/Aeryn Sun
Length: Short (3,408 words)
Author's Summary:
The approaching 300th anniversary of the Eidolon Reemergence has triggered an upsurge of interest in the figure held by popular legend to be at the heart of the period's turmoil. Be it as folk hero or bogeyman, Crichton is more likely to be remembered by the ordinary person than Emperor Staleek, Mele-on Grayza, or even High Priestess Muoma. The persistent myth of Crichton makes it difficult for the serious scholar to uncover the truth behind this controversial and fascinating historical figure, but such efforts are not without results.
Review:
Written like a far-future historian's study of what is remembered of Crichton and the other main characters. It's interesting from a meta view and also for anyone interested in historical, anthropological, or literary theories (I hit the trifecta there, so naturally, I liked this fic a lot).
