not_primetime is a fic exchange for fandoms that are too large for Yuletide but still small. Here are my three favorites from this year.
As on a Darkling Plain by
raspberryhunter . Once Upon A Time, Emma & Mr. Gold, AU. Honesty isn't the best color on Mr. Gold; Emma's talent is finding people. Emma and Gold make a deal. I betaed this, it does a good job of exploring the dynamic between the two and aspects of Mr. Gold/Rumplestiltskin's past that most of fandom kinda ignores.
Solitude by
teShara . Babylon 5, G'Kar. When G'kar is doing his time in the brig, he has time to think about what it all means. Great missing scene that shows us what the show didn't: while in the brig after assaulting Londo, G'Kar went from bitter and angry and vengeful, to peaceful and introspective. This gives us a taste of how he got from one to the other.
Walk With Me by
Zebra . Babylon 5, Timov & Delenn. There is not enough Timov fic in the world.
