Why this must be read:

One of the best things that's happened to Oz fandom in the past year is the decision by Australian television to broadcast Oz in, er, Oz. We've suddenly had an influx of fabulous new writers with wonderful new perspectives on the show and its characters, and one of my favorites from our little "Aussie Invasion" *g* is cgb.

"Fantastic" takes a look at both Beecher and Keller through solo sessions with Sr. Pete. The result is a skillfully intertwined narrative that creates sharply insightful moments of confluence and divergence as each man reflects on the relationship through a series of fantasy scenarios. Sr. Pete, in her supporting role here, also shines with subtle and spot-on characterization.

A taste:

They go to a hotel because they both have wives. Toby pays cash and the desk clerk doesn't blink.

And there will be a point, somewhere between the lobby and the room that Toby will say, "I've never done this before," and Chris will smile and kiss him again, hands either side of his neck, thumbs brushing against his lobes. He'll say, "I know," and it will make everything all right.

"Tobias," Sister Pete says, wearily. "At what stage in this fairytale romance does it dawn on you that this man is dangerous?"

The image of he and Chris alone in a hotel room disappears and he is replaced by and image of Chris and Schillinger in the gym waiting for him, killer whales waiting for the krill to swim into their jaws, laughing the whole time.

Sister Pete leans her head to the side trying to catch his eyes. "Toby?" she says. "What happens then?"
