Author's Summary: Jared's a secret agent, Jensen's his handler.
Review:
I promised to deliver a rec for a not-too-dark Fleshflutter fic last week, well, this is it. OK, I admit it's not made of fluff, but hey, there is a happy ending that makes all the physical and psychological torture worth it, IMHO.
Jared, top secret agent (think James Bond and Jason Borne but better), has no problems separating sex from his job. Until he meets his new handler. And things just go from bad to worse from there.
The plot turns very angsty from about one-third way into the story. Just when you think you cannot take one more mindfuck, the author whacks you on the head with something else. Just remember, perseverance is the key to success, or in this case, the ultimate happy ending you've waiting for.
I personally felt the story was perfect without the epilogue, and if you are like me, simply resist clicking the link at the end of the last chapter. The rest of you weaklings, go on and you will be rewarded for all you've suffered through.

(Even if maybe I did download one of the stories from dark theme week. Ahem.)
Of course, the upshot is that I've been reading some of the more obscure fics in my to-read folder. And I think I have a bonus rec for rare pairings theme week! Yay!
Incidentally, my dark fic folder is filling up again. Hm...
Yay to rare pairings. Which fandom?
i think, its nice, but the final chapter was even more perfect!
thanks for this gorgeous rec!
Thanks.
Thanks.
