Why this must be read:
Because it's simply charming, with wonderfully absurd scenarios and spot-on characterization. This story fills us in on what happens between an adventure's end and a silly tag, an ingenious concept pulled off delightfully well. leah k captures the style of the show absolutely superbly, and the pairing is beautifully understated, just as it should be. This is my last rec of the month, and I can't think of a better note on which to end.
Some time after the ropes had come off, but before it became apparent that the earthquake had irreparably damaged the foundation and the whole building was about to come down, Emma noticed the skirt.
"Why, Steed. I do think you look quite ravishing in that outfit."
Steed tugged a little at the lace hem of the skirt and blushed, a subtle change in color that would have signified nothing on a lesser man.
"Well, the saleswoman said that lilac brought out my eyes."
Emma smiled as she started rubbing the feeling back into her sore wrists, delicately jumping over the spider web cracks in the concrete.
"I find that my eye is rather more drawn to your shapely calves," she said, with a wink, and smiled in triumph as Steed blushed bright scarlet like a normal human being.
