Something Me In You by Aoe (PG-13)

Fandom: WEISS KREUZ
Pairing: Youji, Schuldig

Why this must be read:

When Farfarello disturbs a fight between Schuldig and Youji, Youji's body ends up in a coma, and Schuldig's head ends up with an additional occupant.

I absolutely adore what Aoe has done with this set-up. Her Schuldig is easily influenced by whoever he is around, and her Youji is very convinced that he is really not gay. They're both extremely surprised to find out that they might like each other.

Aoe has a good grasp of the characters, and her characterizations work well. There's Bastard!Crawford, but he still makes for interesting reading. The story is relatively long (around 400K) and develops slowly, making it a treat to sink into.

There is one instance of German that made me flinch, but otherwise the story is free of fangirlish language gaffes.

It's one of these stories that make for a really good fandom introduction, and shows just what nice things you can do with slightly damaged assassins with optional paranormal talents. The only drawback to it is that you might imprint on Schuldig/Youji as your OTP. *g*
