Summary: Seunghyun takes in a shape shifter to make some extra money. He thinks he’s prepared for it, but the shape shifter is nothing like he had expected, and his life is turned upside down.
I'd have to say that if you aren't a fan of violence you might prefer to skip this rec. It isn't gratuitous, but it is there.
But anyway, great, great, great fic. Every time I think I've tired of edgy AU GTOP someone comes along to smash that perception. In this fic I particularly enjoyed the images that popped up in my head as I read -- Jiyong's scales and the way they flash, him curled around Seunghyun because he needs physical reassurance as Seunghyun pets his hair, the way the physical interaction differs and increases as the relationship between them deepens. Speaking of, another thing I really enjoyed was how the two of them grew closer as time went on. It was just subtle enough to speak to my tastes, with little bits of banter that never went overboard and just enough tension to leave me wanting more. I love how smug Jiyong gets when Seunghyun doesn't accept someone's proposition and and I love that Seunghyun forces himself to relax when Jiyong crawls into bed with him. Oh, and can I also freak out a little about the bloodletting scenes? I'm a total sucker for the dynamic in scenes like this, the amount of trust being given, the heady physical sensation of giving blood and the reaction of the one taking it, all of it is done so well.
This fic just touched on so many things I enjoy about GTOP, things I stopped thinking about or forgot about, and while I don't want to hype it up too much, it's probably one of my favorite recs I've done in a while. Insert another I hope she writes more here. :)
One other thing, not related to this fic: do you guys like the long reviews? I almost feel like I'm spoiling the fics by doing a paragraph. Would you rather just have a few lines, or a list with one line per rec, or anything else? Let us know.
