Why this must be read:

Leareth is a wonderful writer and I have enjoyed every fic she has ever written, but this piece is really exceptional.

In My Line of Work is actually a series of two fics. I will be recommending the first one at this time. The story is about three Tokyo detectives (well written original characters) attempting to solve a series of strange cases. The atmosphere is very reminiscent of Law and Order. Throughout the stories, the detectives’ investigations bring them into contact with characters from X (specifically Seishirou and Subaru).

In My Line of Work is one of those rare pieces that manage to use the perspective of outside characters to give the reader an ultimate insight into some of their own favorite characters. I honestly would recommend this fic to anyone who likes a good story. It does have shounen ai, but the dark romance between Seishirou and Subaru is caught so subtlety and wonderfully that even someone not interested in shounen ai might enjoy it. And the characterization is excellent!
