Why this must be read: Nick has a crush on Brian. Brian is uncomfortable. In order to cope, Brian... seduces Howie? Amusing premise, and brilliant execution. In Surprise Brian needs a distraction from Nick's advances and turns to Howie for help, which Howie willingly gives. Hot sex ensues, and Brian's plan works.

In the sequel, Some Sort of Future, they realize that Brian's "plan" has developed into something more. I love this story because, firstly, it's somewhat of an unusual pairing (which I think there should be more of). It's sweet, sexy, will tug at your heart strings and leave you wanting more.


..."Wait, wait," he said. "You want to sleep with me?"

Brian looked at him slantwise, looked down, blushed, nodded.

"Because you want Nick."

The blush grew deeper; he nodded again.
