Why this must be read:


I thought long and hard on how to introduce you to the best E! fic. And Hellfire kept popping up in my mind. It's Johnny-rich, it includes a lot from the other guys, it's exciting, angsty, filled with humor and H/C... you name it, it's got it. And it doesn't hurt that it's magnificently well-written. 

In this excerpt, Johnny is upset after finding out that a firefighter who harassed him and hurt shiftmate Mike Stoker is getting away with a slap on the wrist:

  
  Johnny spun away, turned his back on his friend, tried vainly to stem the flood of anger.  He wasn't sure who he was angrier with: Palmer, the Department that sheltered him in spite of everything, Captain Stanley for failing the trust Johnny had placed in him.  Or Mike, for going along with this farce.  After a second he gave up and just decided to be angry with all of them. 
    Whirling around, he pointed at Mike.  "Dammit, Mike, you nearly died!  They were explaining Do Not Resuscitate Orders to your girlfriend!"  Mike flinched and the remote fell clattering to the floor,  but Johnny ignored both of them.  He wasn't done yet, not by a long shot..  "What the hell else do they want?  MacAdams and Nelson were crippled, and Sullivan DID die!  What else do they want?" 
   
He was yelling now, but he didn't care.  Let the whole world hear; maybe they could get something done then.   "How many more sacrifices before they'll believe the Indian and fire the asshole?"
