"Envy" by cmshaw (R)
So the last time I served as reccer for "Oz," I was an utter failure. Real life stepped in and threw me for a loop, and I never came through. Please forgive me, Oz fen - I promise to do better this time. This month, I do solemnly swear to be diligent and post no less than two recs per week!

Why this must be read:
There have been hundreds of discussions in Oz fandom regarding Beecher's love for Keller - why does he love him? How can he do so? And does he really love Chris at all? In "Envy,"cmshaw approaches these thorny questions in a roundabout way, with Sister Pete's misplaced lust for Keller as the catalyst, and cmshaw hits all the right notes. This fic is smart, sharp, and has a beautiful bite to it, just like Beecher himself, and cmshaw's writing is gorgeous, with a poetic rhythm that carries you along to the last word.
An excerpt:
You couldn't learn the pain and the passion that was Chris Keller from a series of half-hour counseling sessions; you learned the good and the bad of the man with his blood under your nails, your bones under his hands, his spunk and your own staining the same dirty sheets together. She could talk about his lies but she'd never touched his lips, never opened them up and sucked out the truth behind them into her own mouth, not the way he had.
