Why this must be read:

There was a very short window of opportunity for Tess/Kyle fic that fit with canon: after Tess moved in with the Valentis, but before TPTB decided to turn their sparky-sparky flirting into a sibling-type relationship.

This is a good story to show what Tess was like *before* TPTB decided to tie up all their loose plot threads by making her evil. It would've been great if they'd let her stay conflicted, and stay with Kyle; to have Tess, the most humanphobic of the aliens, fall for a human, would've been a great story. Unfortunately, now we can only read about it.

Luckily, moonwhip decided to write it. To say too much about this story would be to spoil it; you have to immerse yourself in the POV here, perfect Tess: careful and smart and all tangled up, and *way* more human than she realizes.

When he stood up, scowling overdramatically, you spotted a stray thread of carpet clinging to his mussed hair. You didn't tell him about it. His imperfections remind you that he is human, that you could do without him-- that you don't have to. You rubbed your feet on the carpet and thought of taking flight.

Many Sweet Companions
