Why this must be read:
Losers fandom loves the idea of always-a-girl!Jensen, giving us all the issues of being a woman in the military while also giving us someone we can identify with just a little more. The ability to identify with her must be why there's more girl!Jensen than girl!anybody else (in fact, just doing a count based on what I've seen in the fandom, we have 8 girl!Jensens, 3 girl!Cougars, 1 girl!Roque and 1 girl!Pooch).

This story is the start of a delightful series, built of wonderful little vignettes that get inside the team, how they feel, how they are, and how the relationship between Jocelyn Jensen and Cougar develops. It's not an epic romance, it's not explosions and high drama, but it is utterly brilliant.

Excerpt:
They gave her to the Losers because they had nothing else to do with her. She talked too much, and she knew more than her superior officers, and she didn't know when not to let those two cross. She embarrassed them in front of the men, and no matter how many 'lessons' they tried to pound into her, she never slowed down, never stopped, never stayed in what they saw as her place. She was too skilled to simply get rid of, and she was too stubborn to quit.

Nobody was as stubborn as a Jensen woman. They were born with ice in their veins.
