Fic recs for meeeee?

[raspberryhunter]

So this post started because I'm informed there are SGA fics out there that are better than the actual show, but I'm casting around for things to read and am open to recommendations from any fandom I actually know (including but not limited to SGU, OUAT, Vorkosigan Saga, and ST:DS9) -- or even anything I can read without needing to know canon. I tend to gravitate towards fics that are about more than a particular pairing (I mean, don't get me wrong, it's fine if they're pairing-centric, but I tend to like at least some character backstory/analysis/development and/or rudimentary plot) but I will try anything :) Bechdel Test passing is always a plus :)

If you haven't read Written by the Victors by Speranza, you should. (http://www.trickster.org/speranza/cesper/Victors.html) It is, hands down, the best "Atlantis secedes" story out there, wherein everybody except a few Earth generals and politicians gets to be smart and competent, and there is a lot of look at different cultures and Pegasus people being competent and awesome, and also a look at how differently people see things and how history remembers things differently than they actually happened. Very good.

...This is AMAZING. I was hooked from the instant the second historian started chiming in, disagreeing with the first, and it just got better from there, and I spent all day yesterday reading it when I probably should have been doing other things. WOW.
