the delphic expanse

So many of the Archer/Tucker fics are too angsty for my taste. I like to see them caring for each other, not driving each other mad.

But I am fond of this one:

Andorian Adventure by The Grrrl and Kylie Lee.

This is a very interesting take on Trip's and Archer's married life together when Archer still suffers from loss of long term memory. Poor Trip!

Lest We Forget by Gigi Sinclair

Also by Kylie Lee:
Very... very... melting... hot...Kiss

Oh my, thanks for posting that, entkayjay. :fansself:

Wow. I read this last night based on the recommendations because I was all depress-ed and stuff, and I have to say I was blown away by this. Don't get me wrong, TnT is still my OTP, But this was so well-crafted that, if canon hadn't steered me toward TnT, it might not have been!

Yes, the sex was panty-melting. But the human element drove the sex. And I'm not ashamed to say I got a little misty at the end.

I will definitely be reading more of Kylie Lee's work in the future.

If you liked Kiss, I think you will enjoy this...

It's called 'I know I shouldn't' by Koken, rated NC-17

Now, I'm not sure how to use your insert functions to change the title, so I apologise for just posting the link.

Koken, who also wrote a wonderful AT&T series, really does capture the friendship/sexual tension and potential love between those two. Even through some of the ESL issue, the passion for Archer/Tucker shines through in all the stories.

There was chatter about stories regarding Trip as a dad. Well here's a two parter written by JBTrek. Both are Archer/Tucker slash and rated NC17 (though I think the second story shouldn't be rated that).

It's a continuation of Unexpected, so there's Mpreg, and it eventually goes AU. But it's sweet and easy reading. I hope you enjoy!

You're right pauline, those are sweet reads. I've loved them for years.

Savior, by Pippin.

The first A/T slash I read, and I couldn't put it down. It's epic NC-17 hurt-comfort, with major emphasis on "hurt." Trip goes through hell in this one. But it's also a story about healing and love -- two people who love each other as friends, who fall in love. What impressed me most was that Archer and Trip were the characters I knew from the show, and not bent out of recognizable shape in order to fit a slash story.
