Why this must be read:

Hi, I'm Caroline and I'll be reccing this month's featured small fandom, Without a Trace. I'm a slasher almost exclusively, but I'll do my best to bring you a balance of recs in the fandom.

Everybody in the Danny/Martin camp writes a 'Danny likes to push Martin's buttons' fic. Everybody. (I am no exception to this rule.) It's almost a rite of passage for new Danny/Martin writers, and the interest in these fics comes in with how each writer chooses to handle Danny's motivation and Martin's reaction to it. This is one of those fics, and I chose it because I like the flow of the prose and the way Elina puts you in the moment and makes you feel the addiction taking hold of Danny. Her Martin isn't just a slightly bewildered victim of Danny's charm, and that makes it even hotter.

This Danny starts the game, but very soon he finds that he's really just along for the ride. It's hot without being explicit, and a great example of Danny and Martin's natural chemistry just the way it appears onscreen.
