I'm partway through the second episode of "Terminus," and . . . this is an AIDS allegory, right? I'm not just imagining that?

The date certainly works--1983 was, as I recall, towards the height of the AIDS panic, since the HIV virus wasn't yet confirmed as the cause and nobody knew for sure how the disease spread.

This story is giving me a very unnerving kind of déjà vu.

I think it might be. Because I remember thinking about the 'Scary Disease' on the news when I was watching that one originally.

((P.S. There is a very awesome Big Bang fic somewhere, I think on LJ, where Eight-becoming-nine winds up back there))

I may have stumbled across it at Who_OTP, but I can't swear, and curses, I did not memory it!

Have you read Samuel R. Delany's "The Tale of Plagues and Carnivals"? It's in the third Néverÿon book, I think; Flight from Néverÿon.

Funnily enough, the second book is the first Delany I ever read, and still my favorite.

Ugh, put my comment in the wrong place:

I betaed some parts of this fic!

It's by [livejournal.com profile] azarsuerte: The Centre of the Universe. It's Nine/Nyssa, Azar writes a very centred, very grown up Nyssa.

(There are some spoilers for Tegan's Big Finish story, also.)
