Why this must be read: This for me is just the epitome of hot, sexy, romantic Apollo/Midnighter fics, which is quite a feat, considering they don't actually appear in person. The Jenny Sparks POV voice here is absolutely perfect, earthy, reflective, rough and tender all at once. This fic shows us a couple of deeply intimate moments between the world's finest couple, as well as giving us an insight into the wider scope of Jenny Sparks' existence, and of her relationship with the rest of the team. One of my absolute all time favourites.
In fact, it came about because she was . . . well, Shen would probably have called it spying, but Shen completely failed to have a sense of humour about things like that. Moral little cow.
In her quarters, with her feet up and half a glass of gin cradled in her lap, letting the Carrier flash her images of the known universe, including their version of earth and the interior of their dimension-shifting home. For comfort or entertainment or something. Because she was Jennifer Sparks and she could. The psychedelic higher planes were the most beautiful things she'd seen since she abandoned acid in favour of her longer-standing and more comforting alcoholism.
