Gluttony by Fluffyllama [rated R]

Well, better late than never...

I'm RileyC, and finally found the keys for the Oz van this month. My preference leans toward B/K fics that explore the love between them, even while acknowledging they and Oz are thoroughly fucked up; a lot of Alternate Universe fics also occupy top spots on my favorites list.

So, starting things off with a great fic by someone new to Oz, but not to fandom, and who a lot of us hope will be blessing us with some more treasures along the way --

Fandom: Oz
Pairing: Beecher/Keller
Author on LJ: fluffyllama
Author Website: Flesh and Beyond
Why this must be read: Because it's one those perfect slice-of-life-in-Oz fics that are pitch perfect in capturing the feel of the show, giving us a scene that plays like it could have easily been filmed, it nails the characters and their situation that good. It was written for a recent Flash Fic challenge over at the hardtime100 community, for the Seven Deadly Sins; Fluffyllama picked gluttony as her sin to explore, and what wonderful things she explored.

"Nobody thinks about chairs."

"People who make chairs do. And people who sell chairs probably think about them now and again."

"Toby."

But Toby's on a roll now, because he hates wishing these minutes away.

"And the opinion of people who just sit in chairs shouldn't be underestimated. I like to think I can appreciate a decent seat."

The jolt when Keller looks right at him, the sheer near-physical assault of that 'Toby, you're such a fuckin' tease' smile, reminds him why he doesn't touch drugs any more.



See what I mean? We can visualize every nuance, hear Chris and Toby crystal clear, and the paths inside Beecher's mind are always a fascinating hike.
