Why this must be read:

I grin the whole way through this fic every time I read it. The premise (that between them, Chad and Ryan have what it takes to rule East High in a benevolent, joint dictatorship) fills me with joy, and it is fleshed out by slice-of-life details of how Chad and Ryan interact with each other and their fellow students. This is fun, fun, fun, and the ending is lovely and hot.



"Ryan! You're supposed to be helping. God, do I have to do everything?"

Ryan laughed under his breath at the melodrama. "Coming, Shar," he called out.

"Pushover," Chad accused.

Ryan fluttered his eyelashes. "She needs me. I'm essential."

Chad rolled his eyes at that. "Whatever you have to tell yourself, dude. Just keep her like that, will you?"

"The things I do to help you. Whatever happened to sodomizing people with broomsticks?"

Chad cocked his head and flicked his eyes up and down Ryan's frame. "Is that what you drama kids do? No wonder you guys walk funny."

"Ryan!" Sharpay called again, then actually stamped her spiked heel in impatience.

Ryan started walking backwards toward backstage. "The word is 'graceful.' We're graceful, unlike some basketball louts I could name." He turned and sauntered away. It was kind of graceful.

"Please, Ryan, take your time. It's not like we have a production to put on!" She had crossed her arms and since she couldn't see Ryan, she had turned the full force of her glare onto Chad.

Chad grinned and waved cheerily.


Go. Read. Love. Tell the author.

Awww! Thanks much. I seem to have a secret love of Sharpay being overbearing and Ryan indulging her. It's a secret I'm keeping real well, too.
