Clone Relationships Week - Fan Works Appreciation/Favorite AU
I’ve done a very poor job of keeping up with Clone Relationships Week and I missed Fan Works Appreciation day and now it’s Favorite AU day, so hey, let’s combine them! Here are some very good AUs by very good fans.
The OrphanShock Series by @katsadako - (Sarah + Helena, Sarah/Rachel, Rachel + Helena) It’s Sarah and Helena and Rachel in the Bioshock universe and it’s amazing. The author pours so much work and detail into making the world come to life on the page, and it’s a real thing of beauty.
monkey tree by @sharkodactyl - (Rachel + Helena) Rachel transfers to a new high school and makes a friend! And it’s Helena!! And also Sarah! But mostly Helena!! Honestly, the character arc here is too good to put into words, it will fill your heart and then break it and then stitch it back together better than before and this metaphor got away from me but READ IT.
I Hate Everything About You by @icantbestill29 - (Sarah/Rachel) Sarah develops a very real and very dangerous crush on Rachel, her college professor. The slow build of their relationship is incredibly done and makes you want to just keep reading and reading until you reach the end and are sad... But! Don’t be sad, there’s more coming!
The Herbs on the windowsill series by @lizzieraindrops - (Veera/Niki) Just one of the sweetest, kindest, softest things I’ve ever read. An AU where the Euro clones survived and Veera and Niki got an apartment together. They cook together and cuddle together and heal together. There’s an eight-paragraph-long hug. It’s good.
electronic surgical words by @scientisms - (Sarah/Rachel, many others) A Radio Free Roscoe AU where you definitely don’t need to know what Radio Free Roscoe is, because I don’t and still think this is incredible. Leda clones in high school start a counter-radio-show to Rachel Duncan’s school-sponsored radio show. Amazing characterization, amazing high school nostalgia (I’m old), and the development of a relationship between the heads of two rival radio shows is gonna be a hell of a thing to watch.
I Can’t See The Stars From The Back Of The Car by SulliedByADream - (Beth + Sarah) AU where Beth finds a down-on-her-luck Sarah and helps her get her life together. And also, bonus! Sarah helps Beth too. The development of their friendship is engaging and emotional and beautiful and I love them both very much.
