Why this must be read:

Gene/Annie is a relatively rare pairing, but this fic will go a long way to convincing even our most ardent slash fans. Not only is it scorchingly hot, it has wonderful Annie characterization, while balancing perfectly Gene's gruffness and grudging affection. It acknowledges the many obstacles between them, and there is some delightful snark and sharp dialogue.

God, he's a fucking bastard, and what she should be doing is slamming the car door in his face and heading up to her apartment. She shouldn't even still be considering this - not with the Guv, of all people - should be making a crack about drinking one too many martinis and planning how best to avoid him tomorrow.
