Author Website: TSB's Fic List
Why this must be read:
The great thing about a fandom that happily accepts AU stories is that you can put the characters in pretty much any setting you want. Sure, you can just put them in a modern-day high school, but you can also make them Western adventurers or astronauts or dragon slayers.
Or you can make them mailmen.
This author takes that basic premise - Spot Conlon is a modern-day mailman - and weaves it into an adorable, humorous little story that perfectly captures the bitterness Spot would feel in that position. And, of course, there's also the slashy plot with Racetrack, here a bachelor stock broker with an angry dog and a perpetual smirk. Despite the wildly different setting, this fic captures the best of the fanon Spot/Race dynamic, with excellent voices and hilariously drawn one-upmanship. It's a great, fun little read, and I recommend it highly.
