Pairing: A.J. Raffles/Bunny Manders

Why this must be read: I am a sucker for "lost scenes" or "lost pages" stories, especially in Victorian and Edwardian fandoms. This story takes place directly after "The Wrong House," a particularly wonderful original tale. With their adrenaline flowing, Bunny takes an amorous lead in the proceedings, clearly telling Raffles to "shut up" and do as he's told. Despite his forceful words, Bunny's love for Raffles is never in doubt; in fact, ajs_bunny makes it perfectly clear that Bunny would do anything for his dearest friend. The author's ease with Victorian language is apparent, doubling the pleasure of the sexy little story.

An excerpt:

"His Sullivan smoldered between his fingers as he moved them to caress the side of my face. I have spoken often of Raffles's incredible dexterity, his undeniable coolness of control, and delicacy of touch upon any lock known to man. What I have not said was his inexplicable knowledge how to use his tactile gifts to illicit the most passionate responses from deep inside me. The most tender of touches across my brow would send me into convulsions. Only Raffles knew how to brush his fingertips over my jaw and neck until I was breathless with desire."
