Faaaaaaaaanfic!

1.) Crimson Blood by SeekerOfDeath. A darker look at Helen's participation in the war; the author suggests that Helen in fact enjoyed the attention, and the first chapter is short, powerful, and to the point. Ignore the author's notes, as these are seldom worth a damn. Although well-written, the second chapter isn't as good, since there is no build-up and it seems quite random. Naturally, I don't really feel that this fic needed a second chapter.
What else has this author done? The vast majority of her other work is in HP fandom, and I think everyone knows my position on that. ^_-
2.) Death-coloured by Gloria Mundi. Achilles contemplates the nature of life and death, bone and blood, even as Patroclus lies wounded in their tent. Like "Stolen", this is a damn fine story. Go on, don't be shy.
What else has this author done? As previously mentioned, she has done other Trojan War work, as well as some POTC and LOTR stuff. Visit her site, Imagin'd Glories.
3.) Andromache in Archaea by daegaer. This is a downer, but a damn good one. It explores Andromache's captivity in Greece and her coping mechanisms, and the way in which her past is interspersed with her present is finely handled.
What else has this author done? Nothing that I'm aware of.
