Why this must be read:

On to, now, another smoking hot fic just to prove that there are some out there.

thimpressionist uses musical terminology to take you through the coming together (and the *coming together*, heh, heh, heh) of one of the fandom's more 'popular' threesomes.

This fic has superbly vivid imagery and luscious use of words. And is also very, very hot.

Movement catches her eye, something white. A shoe, she realises; a white loafer. Annie is the sort of girl who notices shoes, and she’s long admired Gene Hunt’s shoes, he’s quite good at accessorising, for a man. She can faintly see his outline, his large frame unmistakable. Probably wants a peek at her breasts. But when Gene edges closer, close enough to suss out his face in the reflected streetlight, Annie realises that Gene’s eyes are fixed on Sam. So much so that Gene doesn’t even notice Annie looking straight at him. It’s both a shock and a confirmation. She has noticed something between the two, a friction that didn’t exist with the other coppers at the station. She had dismissed it out of hand; Chris and Ray were close, but mates-like, partners. And now it’s in plain sight; this thing they refuse to recognize, aggression masking something with the potential to be far more destructive. How easily Ray has been replaced as Gene’s right hand man. Annie likes Gene, as brash as he is; he’s a decent man trying to do his job. Gene respects her, in his fashion, and he is a far better man than his supposed betters.
