Yegads! More LoM slash! (Well, pre-slash, actually. Sort of.)
Insta-rec: Poor Little Greenie by amy_wolf
No, I've not succumbed to the lure of Gene/Sam. Erotically, the pairing still does nothing for me; never will, I suspect. But the above fic tickles my sense of the surreal, plus it points out the - really kinda glaringly obvious - quasi-canonicity (is that a word?) of Sam's attraction to Gene, which I do believe in - as noted earlier, what I doubt is not the attraction but the likelihood of it ever resulting in something like a relationship.
So, go; read. In fact, read everything by Amy Wolf. Unusual POVs, slightly shifted universes, original ideas... this is Good Stuff.
(To all those who are wondering what I'm doing here, reading fic when I should be working on my thesis, the obvious answer is I'm procrastinating I occasionally need a break, and since I've been meaning to catch up with LoM fic for, literally, years, and most fic nowadays comes in small portions, and my attempt to suppress my 'need to fangirl' only resulted in the plot bunny/mindfic factory going into overdrive, which is even *more* massively distracting, I've decided to, uhm, take homeopathic doses of fic, every now and then. So, I'm on my way through the 'A' section of lifein1973's memories once again.
There'll probably be recs, every once in a while.)
