Rating: Brown Cortina, kids.
Notes: I've had a bit of writer's block recently, so I decided I wanted to write something quick and moderately uncomplicated this weekend! Here we have the result. A few ideas I recently had during a re-watch of 1x7 converged with Franz Ferdinand's 'Right Action' on the radio to

Ooohhhhh gosh Rebel. I knew this would be the perfect read before breakfast.

I love how amazingly you tied it into canon, and you have both Gene and Sam down so well it's unbelievable. I really wish YOU'd written those LoM e-Novels, because your style fits the series so well, and you write the characters well, and it would have been a bloody feast. ♥

Also, the smut in this is absolutely delicious. How you lead the boys up to it, the dialogue, it's all so vivid and in character and perfect and and and-- just. Thank you for this delicious fic, as always. Please keep them coming. <333333333333

D'awwwww THANKS CELLO. :D

REBELLLLL, this is wonderfulllllll! The references to 1.07 and the way it ties in with the episode <3333 And your writing is just fabulous :D And hot. Did I mention hot?

It's brilliant <33333333 Thank you for posting ittttttt 8D

Eeeeeeeeep! Glad you liked it! :D

I was feeling a bit slump-y and really needed to write something complete, so I'm glad it turned out alright! I really do enjoy writing episode-related fics, so I might have to do more of them in the future.

Thank you for commenting, it's much appreciated! <33333333

I've been suffering from writer's block recently, too, so I understand your need to write something short and complete...

And it was perfect! Like Cello and Fern, I love how well it fits into canon and how you've got Gene and Sam both so in-character.

Thank you for sharing (:

Driftyyyyyyyy, thanks! Ugh, the dreaded writer's block, whatever can we do other than soldier on and try to complete something? This came together sort of off the cuff, but I did feel the longed-for sense of accomplishment after posting it!

I find that Gene and Sam are usually pretty easy to keep in character... more so with Gene because he practically writes his own dialogue and sometimes flat-out refuses to do things. Sometimes I worry that my inner Gene has become a bit *too* self-aware, but at least he's okay with being paired up with Sam. LOL!

Thanks so much for commenting! <333333

That's so true about Gene xD

I enjoy releasing my inner Gene at work. That's always fun (for me...) haha!

Good luck with continuing to work through that writer's block (:

[rebelxxwaltz]

Work is *by FAR* the best place to let others get a peek at your inner Gene. I'm a definite proponent of this strategy, because I work with a lot of guys and they do respond well to instructions qualified with remarks such as "...or I'll punch you in the kidneys and lock you in the supply closet."

It's okay, though. They know that this is just how I show that I care. ;)

Good luck to you, too!

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee such FUN! I swear to God, those two will be the death of me.

Love how you switched POV, and of course they were both thinking the same thing and, OF COURSE, Gene had to push it and prove how manly he is...

'At this point Gene realized that he may have miscalculated the degree to which either man had any control remaining' - yarp, that moment of 'waking up' and thinking, oh, I've been kidding myself... OH WELL.

Love it, always love your writing. Lurve.

[rebelxxwaltz]

Heheeeeeeee! :D

Yeah, I think this little 'story' did need that POV switch in the middle, if nothing else than for Sam to admire Gene's oh-so-special way with words. *gives mild smirk*

I'm sure that Gene was indeed left feeling unsatisfied after his little encounter with Sam in the bathroom; I'm sure he told himself everything would be better if he went and bounced Sam off the walls and got a few digs in. Which, in a sense, is exactly what he did. XDDDDDD

Glad you liked, darling! <333333

Rebel, you BEAUTY. This fic is the best. Approaching it, as you have, from the angle of analysing canon, capturing their onscreen characters exactly and then adding a little extra...really is the way to go. So many lines in this had me nodding vigorously because they're so true. And then you went and made that exchange from the end of the ep filthy how did I not notice that connotation before holy shit you genius. This is sexy as hell, and now canon, as far as I'm concerned.

[rebelxxwaltz]

:D

There was a lot to work with in 1x7 because it really was a rather tense episode for Sam and Gene... so many dynamics and mixed signals, and then just when you think their relationship has really sort of hit rock bottom you find out that Sam is 'the only one Gene can trust' and he's been more or less facilitating his investigation the entire time! Who could blame Sam at that point for not knowing whether he wanted to kiss Gene or punch him? When in doubt why not just do both, that's my philosophy! XDDDDD

This is why I love rewatching episodes from time to time-- it GIVES ME IDEAS. I think I said it above, but I do love writing episode related fic, missing scenes, that sort of stuff, and it's great when you're in the mood to just write something short because the episode provides the structure and you just fill in the blanks (and what blanks they can sometimes be!). ;)

So glad you liked it, and that you got a kick out of the ending, because I had a pretty good snicker over that part myself! Thanks for commenting. <33333333
