Why this must be read:
somewhatcliche mostly writes M/F, and it’s all very lovely. What I really love, though, are her gender-swap stories. What’s great about them is that she manages to keep the boys themselves, even as she’s making them distinctly female. It’s an extremely hard thing to do, but she pulls it off every time. It doesn't hurt that her writing style is breezy and gorgeous. Even if you don’t normally like gender!swap, I’d highly encourage you to give her stories a try.
In this story, Face, aka Temperance Peck, falls in love with Chris Sosa. It’s written mainly from Murdock’s point of view, who’s desperately in love with his female teammate and wants nothing more than to see her find happiness, even though he knows that’s not going to be possible with her current boyfriend. Sad and sweet, with the right touch of the humor that characterizes the relationship between Murdock and Face in the best fics, it explores Face's relationship with Sosa from a whole different angle.
Chris tells her he’ll be there when she's back in Bragg. She believes him like she's never believed anybody in her life and for three weeks she is sloppy on the field and cross-eyed behind her sniper's scope and pissing Hannibal off with her flippancy. They get the job done, though, amid hush-hush congratulations and polite slaps on the backs. Face doesn't care. She wants to see Chris again, and she isn't going to bother hiding it.
And he’s there, when she comes back, waiting with a smile from heaven and open arms. That’s when she knows she’s had it. Wrapped up in Chris, surrounded by his smell, his taste, his promises—that’s when Face knows.
From then on, Face loves him fiercely.
