New York Cares Series (R) by Marleigh
Fandom: EVERWOOD
Pairing: Bright/Ephram
Author on LJ: marleigh
Why this must be read: An Officer and a Gentleman and its follow-ups Deconstructing Ephram and Fairytale of New York are quite possibly the most hilarious and heart-felt Everwood fics I have read. Set in the future, with a grown-up Bright serving as Everwood's finest and Ephram working as a studio pianist in New York City, there are so many pop cultural references and laugh-out-loud one-liners interspersed with touching emotional revelations that you find yourself near tears but laughing your ass off.
Bright was amused when Ephram told him the plans for the day. "Dude, a Broadway musical? You are so gay." Ephram gave him a dirty look. "Yeah, well so are you. Isn't that a case of the pot and the kettle?" "No, because the pot is straight-acting, straight-appearing and the kettle is a flaming queen." "The pot is a fucking dick and the kettle refuses to take that shit." Ephram laughed for a second and then sobered. "I'm not really a flaming queen, am I?" "Fuck no. You're almost as straight-acting, straight-appearing as I am." "Almost?" "You get a little swishy when you're performing. You kinda sashay up to the stage." Did he really? "Shut up."
