Five Thoughts by inklingfair (PG)

Fandom: U2 (RPS)
Pairing: Edge/Adam
Length: One-shot (ficlet)
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] inklingfair
Author Website: [livejournal.com profile] u2slash
Why this must be read:

At the start of the year, [livejournal.com profile] clandestine269 started a 'five things' challenge in [livejournal.com profile] u2slash. We got some really lovely stuff posted as a result, and if I could I'd pick all of the responses, but I'm only choosing one here - Five Thoughts by [livejournal.com profile] inklingfair.

Why? Well, the 'five things' structure has been done to death, probably in every fandom, and yet Sci manages to take a fresh approach that surprises and delights every time you read it. She packs so much into so few words, it amazes me and makes me extremely jealous of her talent. What makes this special is the characterisation. In five brief sections Sci has Edge down to an absolute tee, with his logic and his use of geometry and maths in his consideration of Adam (and she captures Adam beautifully, too, in a few well-chosen words). It's just brilliantly accurate, and brilliantly written. And anyone who can use the word 'asymptote' in a fic and make it sound erotic wins in my book.

Please do read this - it's wonderful.
