Why this must be read:

Seriously, the hottest science lesson ever. If my AP biology class in high school had been like this, I would have paid much more attention. My absolute favorite thing about this fic, though, is that Orli's given the opportunity to be someone who actually understands something academic. Too often, authors make him the clichéd airhead who doesn't know very much about the world around him, so this fic is refreshing (and, did I mention, hot?).

"The whole point of mitosis is to make two cells that are identical, from one cell. Identical genetically, at least. The cell takes great care to divide out the genetic material very fairly. All the other stuff in the cell - the organelles, the proteins and fats and stuff, it just splits roughly down the middle."

"Like when we stole Viggo's pants," Dom says.
