Why this must be read: 

There are some intense fics in this fandom, but there are also a lot of witty writers who infuse their stories with a sense of humor, like [livejournal.com profile] purrslink. This is one of my favorites of hers. Here, Hannibal takes on the task of getting an incredibly reluctant Murdock to swim. Purrslink writes a close third person, focusing on Murdock's point of view, and she balances the eccentricities of the pilot perfectly - allowing Murdock to be both troubled and a genius and hilarious in most respects. On Murdock jumping into the pool:

For a few moments he was actually ok with it all. Sure, he’d flung himself to an early demise, but at least he still had his balls and could claim man points once it all ended and he was in the after life exchanging bro stories with Houdini and Charles Lindburgh. He’s fairly certain he has Houdini beat on near-death experiences, but he’d been hoping to have a few more flight hours on Lindburgh. Oh well, no sense crying over that now, and besides, he’d flipped a helicopter. That had to be worth a few points at the very least.

She also writes the other characters well, capturing their group dynamic as well as their individual quirks. There's some light Hannibal/Murdock here, as well, though nothing is explicit.
