Why this must be read: Annieeeeeee. She is hot as hell in this fic. It also presses my domesticity/established relationship buttons, since Sam and Annie are decorating their house. Fluff with snark, plus exploration of what Annie means to Sam? Couldn't ask for anything more, really.

She has a sweet chin. It gives her face this heart-shaped look that’s thoroughly appealing – adding a naivety he knows is completely synthetic. Her jaw line is curved, but prominent, belying her sweet-as-molasses appearance and supporting her tough as nails interior. Sam’s always had a thing for powerful, confident women. Ever since she punched him in the back, that first day, he’s replayed his meeting her with an almost reverent fever.

“Sam, have you been listening to a word I’ve said?”

“Yeah, you said you wanted to paint the room yellow – a nice neutral colour,” Sam replies.

“Right.” Annie tugs on his arm. “How’d you do that? You were totally off with the pixies then.”
