Why this must be read:

My theme in reccing seems to be "people whose work I could happily rec all of", because once again that is the case! Nepthys_uk has been recced before and no doubt will be again. Everything she writes is pure gold and this is no exception. I pondered long and hard while deciding which fic to chose and in the end had to pic this as I've read nothing else like it. Sam has spent the day (or the night) undercover in drag, and it becomes clear that Gene appreciates some aspects of this. I adore the way in which Sam is so profoundly male in this despite the superficial trappings of femininity, right down to the "quit calling me a girl" attitude. Also, this fic is scorchingly hot.
