Happy New Year by Jen (NC-17)

Fandom: OZ
Pairing:Beecher/Keller
Author on LJ: not that I know
Author Website: none
Why this must be read: For my last record I chose the darkest story; darker than Dina's Bound; darker than anything I read; and still hot and despaired and perfect IMO from a characterization point of view. We're nearer from Gemma files than any other author here. Beecher is really crazy and violent and ... It's a nice change. And Chris is both cold, unloving (or so it seems) and obsessed. Saïd plays an important part in this fic.

Read it! It's wonderfully heartbreaking.



Keller stayed in my head every day I spent in the infirmary. Those hours without his breath on my neck, eyes boring into my back, I finally acknowledged my feelings for him. That was much harder than the next step, realizing any relationship between us would bring nothing but pain. I was sick of pain, that's what I told him when I got back to Em City. I played up wet eyes and a choked sob, hoping if he really loved me, he'd stay away.

97B412, Beecher."

But he loved me too much. Or not at all. One year ago today, my mentor, my spiritual adviser, my...friend was murdered. Not in that rumored race riot, in a storage room. Tongue cut out, body mutilated. Golly gee Chris, if you wanted to impress me, flowers or candy would've been perfectly fine.



Happy New Year!
