Food for Thought by LisaH (Rated NC-17)
Fandom: Oz
Pairing: Beecher/Keller
Author on LJ: lisaluvsblair
Author website: don't know
Why this must be read:
One, because of how it captures the sense of daily life in Oz, the monotony of it all and how that can be relieved via something as mundane as satisfying the craving for a favorite kind of food:
Toby knew that was the main problem - Chris' real gripe was about being denied something, and this just happened to be his topic of the week. Everyone went through it -just last week he thought O'Reily was going to lose it, jonesing for a certain kind of pastrami sandwich he used to get all the time. He talked about it non-stop for two days until everyone threatened to beat the crap out of him if he didn't shut up. Food was a very popular subject around here, and one that many obsessed on. Not just because their usual fare was so plain and monotonous, but also because it could be such a gratifying and even sensual experience, to eat or drink something that you really loved, and it often brought up good memories, like Chris' weekend drives with his mom.
And two, because of what happens when the boys dare to eat a peach. Even if all-out smut didn't happen, I think this one would warrant that NC-17 rating just because of the way Toby cleans Chris up. Smut does happen, however, and it's a good thing. *g*
