Why this must be read: One of the things when you're new to a fandom is that you tend to read the authors everyone recs. It's a good rule. But it's nice to find someone who hasn't got a lot of exposure and still presents a good story. That's the case with Vesta's "Revelations." It's a solid short story that I find myself returning to because she really captures the frustration and jealousy of watching someone not-very-subtly hit on your partner. Your partner that you really, really want and haven't had the guts to do anything about. My favourite part of this is Jealous!Doyle. It's really something to watch him in action. If the story leaves you wanting more, the author's written a couple of sequels.


Dammit, Bodie, you stupid git, can't you see what he's doing, he thought furiously, barely managing to keep himself from yelling it aloud. Sometimes he wondered how the hell anyone as inherently sensual as Bodie couldn't seem to see what was in front of his face; he'd known the minute he walked into the briefing room two weeks ago and seen Williams standing beside his partner that the seconded MI6 agent had designs on him. They had been bent over a map, shoulder to shoulder, heads almost touching... and the surge of rage and jealousy had almost made him throw up. That was when he finally, finally acknowledged the reality of the undercurrent in their relationship that - be honest - had existed from the very first day they met. Women came and went in his life, affairs and encounters he genuinely enjoyed... but the truth was, he wanted nothing else but to be with Bodie, any way he could have him.
