Why this must be read: This story gives us a look at a relationship between Sam and Gene. It shows how they want to be together, but also how they are trapped by Gene’s relationship with his wife and the time they live in. There is lots of angst here but there are also glimpses of beauty and hope shining through. Both characters are captured brilliantly and this is a wonderfully atmospheric and realistic story.
Excerpt
Gene rolled onto his back and shivered as his skin came to rest against the cool sheets, blinking a little as his eyes began to pick out dim shapes in the room. The window showed up first, light from somewhere highlighting a square behind the curtains. Some streetlamp or maybe even the dawn trying to penetrate the gloom.
Sam was sat in the armchair at the foot of the bed, his legs hooked up and over the frame, bare feet resting lightly against the covers.
Gene sat up and regarded him through sleep bleared eyes. Bare legs trailed invitingly upward, their promised prize hidden by the tails of a shirt. His shirt, Gene realised. He pushed himself into a more comfortable position, yanking a pillow into the small of his back, leaning against the headboard that flexed beneath his weight.

Oh and if you thought this story was good there is a link to the companion fic at the bottom of the story which is equally worth reading.
