purplecat: Publicity still of the Team from Series 1 Primeval. (Primeval:S1 Team)

It's difficult to write a summary of this one, since the best part of it is the gradual reveal. It's about Stephen after the revelation of his affair with Helen and his interactions with the team. But what could have been a fairly straightforward angst-fest is made completely original by the denouement. Highly recommended.

At some point I randomly mentioned Claudia/Lyle as a pairing and [personal profile] rain_sleet_snow took the idea and ran with it, turning the apparently incompatible characters into a story that is about their romantic incompatibility.

Summary:

Between the dinosaurs, portals in time, and melodramatic runaway scientists, Claudia has absolutely no time for a romantic relationship, and no intention of getting into one, either.

This is not a story about that changing.

A nice five things fic that has many of the virtues of the form - compressing short vignettes into a larger thematic whole. There are also a whole load of bonus fixits!

[personal profile] lonely_candle is known for her extensive cast of OCs, but this story, while ostensibly about one such OC actually throws an unexpected light on one of the main series characters. It is a little bit mysterious, beautifully written, and leaves just the right amount unsaid and unexplained.

A really awesome story with an unusual pairing. [livejournal.com profile] stealingpennies manages to make a relationship between Jess and Christine both plausible and lovely.
