Here, have one more today to make up for my negligence this past week.

Pairing: Nathan/Peter

Why this must be read:

It's the kind of mindfuck that could really only happen on this show. Peter's gone, and a year later, Nathan meets a volunteer for his campaign that he finds irresistible. It's AU and genderbending and mindfuckery and incest. It's also really hot, and the characterization of Peter is awesome, very any-means-necessary. I'm a bit of a sucker for Nathan just being desperate for Peter, which this story also delivers.

"If anyone tries to call us at seven o'clock on a Christmas Eve, they can deal with an answering machine. Go home."

"Yes, sir," she says with a hint of a smile. She closes down the document she'd been working on, shuts down the computer, and pulls on her coat, all without looking at Nathan.

He watches each action, intrigued. She's not his type -- pale and washed-out looking, except for those dark eyes -- but something about her slender fingers and the line of her mouth is sending blood straight down into his cock. He forces himself to look away and pull out his cell phone to call for his car, before she notices him staring. "All done?" he asks, once the car is on its way, and she nods.

Outside, Christmas Eve decided to assert itself in a foggy rain, streaked with sharp, half-frozen precipitation. Nathan stands under an awning away from the rain, watching his car navigate through the glacially slow traffic, while Anna turns and walks away down the unsheltered sidewalk. "Hey," he calls after her. "You're not going to walk home in this weather, are you?" When she turns to look at him, and she's drenched in water but smiling brightly, Nathan starts to wonder whether they should do better psychological screening on their volunteers.
