Run run run to Pythia's site, because she's posted new stories (new unless you're on the GoldApple list, that is) and a second part of her Herc/Buffy crossover.
I particularly recommend Gift of the Gods, which I've already read at least four times. I love it to bits. It's one of the rare stories where Hercules gets hurt and Iolaus dashes into danger to rescue him. Lots of action, derring-do and clever old hunter's tricks, excellent worldbuilding and characterisation plus a lovely dollop of angst: in short, this one has all the good things I've come to expect from Pythia's stories. I do have one small quibble with this one: I think it's not physically possible for Iolaus to carry Hercules for any length of time, especially uphill. Iolaus is strong, sure, but Hercules is a big guy (and the leather pants weigh twelve pounds, let's not forget that!). But that really is the only quibble, otherwise it's a wonderful story and I wish I could nominate it for the Iolausian Fan Fiction Award.
And then there's The Race, which is manic and funny and erudite and needs a longer rec than I can write at the moment. Go read.
At 13292 words and still behind. Am not allowed to watch my newly arrived Vividcon dvd's yet, but I cheated and watched one vid, the way a dieter will sneak one cookie. It was the ST:TOS vid 'Razzle-Dazzle', by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
killabeez and Tjonesy and hafital. I think I hurt something by laughing that hard. That final Spock moment finished me. Hope the rest of them are this good.
