Why this must be read:

And now for a nice antidote to my last heart-wrenching rec. This sweet and gentle look at daily life and fatherhood will bring a smile to your face and a heart swell to your chest. Gracie wants to learn to dance for her eighth grade formal and enlists Uncle Steve to help. Somehowhunbroken has woven together a tale that makes me just smile now, thinking about it. She's got the character voices down superbly and keeps the fic at a sweetly tender level without marching into the saccharine. Overall, a fic to just make you grin at the lovely father/uncle/daughter moments.

Why this must be read: There are some fics that take a minor character and flesh them out so that you really feel that they have as much history and personality as the main characters, and this is one of those. Anita Cortez is a Mexican government agent from the season 2 episode The Edge, and in this fic she ends up in Vegas while Ray is undercover there. They only make the barest of connections in the fic--they're both on missions of their own--but it's fascinating to see the parallells between them and what they're going through. Another thing that's really cool about this fic is the setting and the details--it all feels so real, which is an impressive feat given what the setting is.

Why this must be read: phone sex and Flamingo, need I say more? Really, I think Flamingo is my favorite writer in this fandom. I love so many of her stories. This one is not very long, but it's chock full of goodies. It makes you laugh and then want to cry. It's extremely sexy. A great read all around!
