On AOOOWhy this must be read: This is by far the best work of fanfiction I have ever read, in any fandom... and it's better than most published things I've read. It's perfect in terms of believably building a very difficult pairing, in terms of complex plotting, in terms of including friendship, in terms of writing action, in terms of sweepingly sexy romance. Everything about this is beautiful.
I started it three times and stopped because the first half of the first section revolves around some Rambaldi-induced body-swapping, and body-swapping isn't normally my thing. HOWEVER, it isn't crack. At all. The author simply uses this canonically plausible scenario to tease out very complex and human reactions from all the main players. The bodies get restored quickly enough and then the real beauty of the fic begins, with Sark and Sydney forced to work together for various reasons and coming to appreciate one another more. I can't say enough good things about this. Download it to an e-reader and curl up with it on your next rainy day. You won't regret it.
