Why this must be read:

This is a very new fic, so I feel all chuffed that I get to be the first to pimp it out. Whee.

Anyway. Zenia's one of the mainstays of the fandom for a reason, so I figured it was about time I recced one of hers. She has a way of oddly summing up various fandom attitudes in her own unique way that I really like.

That's chiefly why I picked this one, actually; it seems to me very illustrative of the whole 'Avon needing Blake even though he'd really rather not' line of thought. Lots of prople run with variations on this theme, but Zenia has a tendecy to feel like her stories are the ones that came first, started the trend. (That's quite a feat when the fic was only posted a few days ago.) This one comes complete with mentions of tea, which as a British person I heartily endorse. *grins at own mug of PG Tips*

It's also rather pretty, more than averagely well written, and generally a good thing to have around. It helps that Zenia's quite obviously spent way too much time analysing these characters and therefore is able to give them that vital sense of being unique, as opposed to just any old people with the same names. Rock.
