Double or Nothing is a rare treat: post-CotW (post-series) F/V. Also, it totally rocks. It's a smart, meaty, involving fic that addresses the aftermath of Vegas -- the damage done to Fraser and Vecchio's relationship and the damage done to Vecchio himself -- within the framework of a taut, gripping post-Vegas plot. Brynn, being nifty that way, satisfyingly untangles some of the plot threads the show left knotted and dangling (and, like, stapled to a paper kite thrown into a ceiling fan) in a fic that's both gritty and
due South-y
and that's wonderfully emotionally involving. Also, it's hot. Hot like burning, hot like
yearning.
