Why this must be read:

melymbrosia always writes such *intelligent* fiction, and this story is no exception. While a simple story on the surface--a meeting between Lauren Reed and one of Julia Thorne’s aliases--it is rich with characterization.

Most of all, I like Melymbrosia’s Lauren. I grew to love Lauren over the course of season three, but she rarely treated sympathetically in fanfic (or even, for that matter, in canon). “Another Girl’s Paradise” captures both sides of Lauren: the vulnerable and uncertain woman, and the hard, professional agent.

She hesitates, just barely, before lowering her head to Lauren's belly and giving her bellybutton a very delicate and tentative lick, and Lauren knows with a rush of triumph that whatever else Sydney's done, she hasn't done *this*, she hasn't gone down on a woman before, this is something Lauren knows and Sydney doesn't. It's the thrill of that and not Sydney's tongue that makes her hips buck and her thighs part.

Sydney kisses her belly again, and Lauren twists her hands in Sydney's hair and pulls just enough to sting. "No, darling. Not there. *Lower*."

Sydney's hands tighten on her thighs, and she raises her head and glares at Lauren with naked dislike. Her cheeks are flushed, but not with arousal, and her lipstick isn't even mussed yet.
