Why it should be read:

I know I haven't rec'd too many first time/early in the partnership stories here as most of mine have been previously rec'd, but this one simply must be read. There are a number of authors whose first (or second) stories in this fandom leave me in total awe of their superb, seemingly effortless writing ability - enter myrebelcat of the hilarious the Fangirls from CanUNCLE (which is co-authored by the equally delightful elizabethhelena, who has been previously rec'd here). Her stories read like unfilmed episodes or outtakes that tragically ended up on the cutting room floor; she balances the characters' dry humor and insightfully observed quirks with genuine tension and suspense. Despite the seemingly easy banter, these are consummate professionals whose words are as much of a tool of the trade as their explosives. For our spy guys, shared duress and a sense of wicked humor forges bonds meant to last.

I loved this the first time that I read it...and even more the second time.
