Why this must be read:
I'll be honest... I don't get Joss!verse. Wasn't into Buffy. Barely watched Angel... but I loved this story. Kovsky just fits the zanyness of Buffy with the zanyness of LOTR and created one of the better fics I've read in a while. It's lovel-length, but it's worth it.
There is a guy at the bar with an eye patch, and this is maybe the most interesting thing that Dom has ever seen in LA. At first he thinks maybe the guy's wearing it ironically - but who wears eye patches ironically? Wouldn't that be like using crutches ironically? Bad taste, even for America.
Then he thinks maybe it's a temporary thing, you know, like the guy just had an eye tuck or something and has the patch to protect it. But he notices that there's a tan-line where the strap goes, so that's not it. Also, this guy is really tan, for winter. Even for LA.
Good looking guy, Dom notices idly, as he tries to figure him out. Not dressed for the clubbing scene, though, not dressed to be noticed. T-shirt and cargo pants both a size too big. Shoulders a little slumped, sitting over in the corner like he doesn't want anyone to see him. But he's paying attention to the room, scanning it like he's looking for something specific.
He really couldn't stand out more if he tried.
In a plastic city of faux perfection, this guy is brown from real sun, not a bottle; he has a heavy bruise on one arm; he may or may not be missing an eye. The sandals on his feet are held together with duct tape.
Dom discovers that he has a pressing need to go up to the bar and get another drink.
