Fandom: OZ
Pairing:Beecher/Keller
Author on LJ:callmerizzo
Author Website:Strange bedfellows
Why this must be read: This story was written for the first round of Oz_magi, a challenge where every author wrote a story for an anonymous requester. All the stories were great but I chose this one first because it includes at least two things I love: it's a lockdown story and there's a very believable and thrilling peek at Keller's past -his childhood, and a particular time of the year; so that the story is hot, somewhat scary because we can see how Keller's mind works; and nostalgic. It's short but complete, it doesn't need more. The descriptions are particularly remarkable; this might be my favourite part:
Father Scarpello, a short, round man with deep grooves in his face, would thunder and roar from his pulpit, raving about sin and Satan and all of the other things that good Christians should fear. He would preach about the battle between God and the devil, a battle that had been going on since the beginning of time and which, apparently, still hadn’t been won. Bored and unimpressed, Chris would close his eyes and imagine the two of them, God and Satan, crossing swords like knights on a bloody battlefield -- both equally powerful, with the bodies of hundreds of their slain followers littering the field on either side.
Tenderness, anguish, guilt, love, sex... It's Oz! Go... Read... Enjoy
