Why this must be read: This is one of the only fics in the fandom that follows the format of an episode. Every character has a subplot that's a variation on a theme, in this case, relationships. Complete with a snarky narrator and visual aids, the fic peeks into more grown up moments than the show can and does a fantastic job of tackling both Jo's desire to move her relationship along and Carlos' uncertain sexuality.
The episode opens with the familiar scene of Gustavo sitting behind his slick desk in his modern gray office. The soundtrack, a boy-band pop song doesn't match the setting. Gustavo doesn't match the setting either. He stands out from the decor, a large man in loud red hoodie with blue diamonds and garish gold dollar signs all over that match his dollar sign bling. He also stands literally, jumping out of his chair to shout for his, "DOGS!"
Four boys run through the open door, crashing into one another, arms flailing as they stop -- not like the dogs Gustavo's called them, but more like puppies who haven't learned to account for the momentum of a hardwood floor so that they go slip-sliding into walls when they try to stop.
Puppies is an apt metaphor for the four of them. They're all cute, verging on adorable, with long, gangly arms, and skinny bodies that haven't yet grown into the men they're going to be.
