Why this must be read:
One of nanda's hallmarks is her ability to write Sam and Jack as realistic people, actual grown adults who have this thing between, but aren't consumed by it, as awkward as it sometimes gets. People who in fact had and have lives and relationships that don't include each other. Here she brings in a (likeable and well-fleshed-out) OC male friend-with-benefits of Sam's from grad school, and Jack finds out about them. And there's none of the melodramatic childish jealousy or out-of-proportion unrealistic expectations of broken commitments that would usually follow this scenario in most S/J fic. An utterly refreshing and sweet story with fantastic Sam characterization.
On Sunday you'll be making more coffee while Vijay checks his email in your study, and you'll hear him call out, "Hey, Sam? There are three very tall men coming to your door."
Which will be about as unpredictable as the lifespan of Schroedinger's cat.
Shit. Shit, shit, shit. You'll wonder if the house really reeks of sex, or if you're just imagining it. You'll think of your rumpled hair and skimpy pajamas, of Vijay drinking cold coffee in nothing but boxer shorts, and realise that they'll have no problem figuring out what you've been up to anyway. Then you'll grab a sweatshirt (shit, it's Vijay's) from the kitchen and explain as calmly as you can while you run to the door, "Oh, those are just the guys I work with."
"They're tall." And that? Predictable. Completely.
