Now here’s the bit where I seriously needed to have a lie down: Changmin swallows. He’d kind of forgotten the last image in the spread. The one of him half naked, wearing buff-coloured, skin-tight jodhpurs tucked into high, shiny equestrian boots. The one with the streak of baby oil daubed from his chest to his abs so the light glimmers from his skin and catches the camera’s eye. The one where he’s holding a riding crop behind his back, the tension in his arms exquisite and suggestive. The one of him looking insufferably arrogant and knowing and hungry.

You know how you’re secretly as good an artist as you are a writer - will you be drawing that anytime soon, please? Please. Please! Feck, if that isn’t the nicest mental image. Oh Yunho, your control is really immense, he must have been soooo burned by Siwon married guy.

And then you go and cut tehsexy with tehemotion again and I ache for Changmin not being that boy any more *wah*
I love how his mind works - the swift road from smiling to fucking. Yup Changmin could take me on that journey too :p

Then Changmin strips. Then Yunho pulls out his gun. Then my brain melts out of my ears.

As funny as the scarf is and the eau de nil being a vile colour; the whole t-shirt dragging up and Yunho giving in and pulling the gun is ridiculously hot and then Yunho takes the safety off and metaphoric like a woah! Changmin isn’t the only one weak with lust.

So straight into the shower and my brain hasn’t managed to reconstitute into anything solid - but bang, there goes angry and disappointed Yunho and that’s heartbreaking because he was just barely holding on to his resolve not to pounce on Changmin and it turns out Changmin might be a bad guy after all...

“What, do you think I keep state secrets hidden in my ass? Maybe you should check, just to make sure.”

Followed by Yunho’s best use of “maybe” yet (that’s such a great touch all through the fic)

And then the already melted reader brain melts some more because the fingering is incredibly hot. violate my rights some more and “Oh,” he breathes. “Oh. Oh.” There are other letters in the alphabet, but he can’t remember them right now. - funny and yet doesn’t take away from the sheer hotness.

(okay don’t hit me, but the contrast between the sharp and the soft all the way through this story is like how brie and grapes work so well together - the tart sweetness cutting through the creamy richness)

The phone rings. Yunho is totally regretting justifying the sex because Changmin was just a crim... Changmin is adorable: “You were in the middle of something.” “So were we,” Changmin says, very softly.

*Sad face* again because they both deserve to be happy! And that leads so sweetly into Changmin saying he’s attainable and Yunho being all confused and scared of fucking up again even though he knows deep down that Changmin is a much saner prospect that Siwon

And then the wah of Changmin being alone and carrying on the shoot but taking genuine pleasure from what happened, even if it can’t be forever. I wish the make-up noona hadn’t covered up the love bites - I’d love to see those photos. :p

So everything is down and sad and lonely and you send poor Changmin home and he’s obviously been watching Homeland because he knows what an alarm system reset in a single zone means - SecretAgentYunho has broken in!! (or maybe the Milk Tray Man - why does he always fit into these romance tropes?)

Cue really proper, uplifting and well deserved ending!

Man, I’m shattered in a good way - that was such a ride. Highs, lows, brilliant characters and lines and this just leaves me grinning like a loon.

Thank you so much for writing this so well. Exceeded my expectations (again)

It is indeed April and soon it will be May with the amazing LJ Time Machine!

So Yunho is brie and Changmin is grapes?? LMAO the sandwich version of seaweed and sashimi XD

Wulvr'ampton yow say? Oi'm pretty shure Yunho's dialict is the Kurean equivulunt of Brummie an' certainly ee raps in English loike a Brummie so ee can totally hang owt in the Bull Ring rag market an' showet 'Orlroight bab' an oi'd gew fwoar ee's bostin!

Siwon as the married man LMAO now I can't get that out of my head. I was going to say generic married man is generic, but Siwon can do generic so well... so why not PMSL.

The more I write Changmin, the more I fall for him. So weird! But also very nice because now I have double the pleasure when I look at the HoMin.

LMAO I admit when we watched that ep of Homeland, as soon as that scene happened I thought 'and that's how I'm going to end that fic' HAHAHA

Thank you ♥

Me again.
I was just day-dreaming about this fic and realised something and had to read it through to check.

They don't kiss. Sure Yuhho is kissing and mouthing at the back of Changmin's neck, but Changmin doesn't get a kiss. That's somehow heartbreaking but also hotter at the same time because some writers take kisses for granted, and you've deliberately left their's untested. It makes the mental image of what might happen next even more explosive. Changmin's mouth is so pillowly and expressive it was made for snogs.

[glitterburn]

Yep. Yunho's last line of defence is Teabag not kissing... just in case Changmin is a career crim as well as a super-hot super-leggy supermodel.

[diagon]

I would say awww Teabag, but I'm actually thinking awwww Yunho! Poor boy really got hurt by Siwon that other guy and for all that Changmin is the one with the icily superior model exterior in theory...



...methinks Yunho had to do a lot more thawing to chase Changminnie down in the end. He's all Mr dangly-handcuffs and probably holding his breath hoping Changmin hasn't changed his mind too. As if Changmin could change his mind once Yunho pulled out his secret weapon:



*mind out of the gutter, of course I meant his smile!
