Why this must be read:

I wasn't going to rec another

yuletide fic and this messes up the chronological-in-series order thing I was going for, but on second thoughts I just can't resist. This is an episode tag for the pilot, Overture, and it absolutely captures that first casual frenzy of their initial fighting-and-flirting, the POV and voices and visuals just making the whole thing happen under your eyes, and it's got a fun take on Brett's sexuality – a less usual one but which really plays off the combination of what we see on screen and what we were supposed to see (because, really, both characters are supposed to be straight. Right? I think? Probably? Somehow?) (Brett, at least?) It's funny and fun and just, oh, very them and very that particular moment in the series, with Brett's smugness and orange shirt and their mutual cruising. Yay!

She was a dreamboat, all right, with that blonde hair and creamy skin and a figure to die for. And best of all, she clearly liked him more than his lordship sitting there fawning all over her, smug and smarmy, with those blue eyes and long lashes and tanned skin, acting like he thought he was God's gift to women.
