Greener on the Other Side by kel (PG-13)

Author Website: songs about the impossibility of singing
Why this must be read:
Because it's another of those rare beasts, a reasonably happy Josh/Sam. Because it's beautifully written. Because of this:
Sam leaves, and he knows he'll write a great speech about HR 658. He knows that Andrew David will read it in his hesitant and bumbling way and that he'll slur the words and pronounce "via" phonetically and forget what the acronym MADD stands for. And Sam knows that he doesn't care, because he's not writing for Andrew David. He's not even writing for the promise of the politicians who will come after Congressman David, the ones who will do his words justice. He's writing for the smile on Josh's face, for the pride in his voice. He's writing for Josh.
The author's summary is: "He tells himself that this is what good men do. They make compromises when great men can't." A story in reverse counterbalance.
Just a lovely story. Go read.
