Why this must be read:

It's a pairing that should never ever happen but it has been so well written you can't help but love it.  Its dirty, its depraved, it's filled with hate-sex, angst and unrequited love/lust.  But most importantly of all it is believable.

It goes into the reasons of why Gene tollerated Warren for so long and looks into their perculiar relationship and the effect Sam's arrival has upon it.

It feels real for the 70's, it touches on how underground and small the gay community is causing people to find peculiar bed fellows because they were the only option for release as going for those that you truly desire is too risky.


The flame of the desk lighter leapt to meet the tip of his cigar, billowing smoke at the will of his breath, almost as though he had power after all. Gene carefully puffed that spark to a steady ember as he settled back in his seat, pointedly putting some more distance between Warren and himself, drawing air through tobacco until his long-abused throat burned.

‘He’s nothing like us,’ he said finally, the simplest way he knew how. Privately, he both admired and mourned Sam’s difference like religion, or death – something respectfully worshipped but never understood. All the girlish pet names in the world couldn’t settle Gene’s instincts on where the lad stuck his dick at night – and a lad as pretty as Sam had to be sticking it somewhere - and the not-knowing of it itched at him like fleas on a rutting dog. ‘I’d wager he doesn’t have a clue what’s going through your twisted little mind right now, and it’s probably best kept that way if you know what’s good for you. Bit of a uptight madam, is Tyler.’

His dismissive tone did nothing to throw Warren off the scent. ‘Come now,’ he laughed, leaning back in his chair, making his version of the move look more like an invitation, ‘don’t go trying to make that sound like a bad thing. We both know better.’

Gene pressed his lips tight together rather than confirm the truth. ‘He’s gonna fight you, y’know.’ He said it flatly, the only way he could, with neither protest nor pride allowed to break through the wall of dire fact. It was all he had left.

‘I look forward to it.’ A private smile curved Warren’s soft mouth. ‘I have a suspicion that he’ll look just as delicious on film as you do.’

Oh, this is a LOVELY fic. Lovely in the warped, nasty, sexy, dark sense of the word, that is <333

Sev's story is also available over on AO3 (http://archiveofourown.org/works/157810). (Which is worth knowing if, like me, you like to download the fic and read it at leisure on your e-reader later on :-)
