Because it is so funny I laughed till my stomach hurt. Ray in a fetish shop saying, "I want to be pretty Fraser..." The OC's are all brilliant (especially the gang of two) and... just wonderful. That's even before you get to the sex. There is also a link to a podfic by Luzula, which is yet more awesomeness...

Author's Summary:
Fraser raised his eyebrows thoughtfully. "Lipstick colour names can be rather obscure. I assume it's a metaphor to describe something fragile and lovely but also dangerous and potentially capable of raining hot destruction upon an unsuspecting citizenry. On the other hand, it may refer to the fact that this particular coral shade is common to molten lava and geraniums. Don't lick it."

"It tastes like Jujubes," Ray reported.

"Nevertheless, resist the urge."

Why this must be read:

Author's Summary : As the dawn light began to trickle into the loft, Jim lay in bed and studied the bruises marking Blair's body.

This fic is one of those that is layered, complex, and captivating from word one. The author captures the audience with her central theme of scars, both the physical and the emotional, that all our characters have now. Scars from physical harm, scars from finding one's new place in a hard world, scars from broken relationships, scars from guilt, scars from abandonment... All are present in this masterpiece. There's also a wonderful mentor story, a second!Sentinel twist, and a true coming together of our two favorite guys.
