Review :
So Social Network is not one of the most popular fandom but it's currently one I'm enjoying the most. Talented writers are writing awesome fics and you only need to know a bit about facebook history to enjoy all those stories. (There is a primer here if you want to know more about the film)

Let's go back to this fic.
This story is a very good AU with a nice premise. Facebook is a successful site and Mark is looking for a PA and meet Eduardo for a job interview.

The characters are touching. And their interactions are neither rushed nor forced. Eduardo is an efficient PA and manages Mark who is still quite inept at social interactions. You can see the slow evolution of their relationship. Justin and Chris are just great.

The whole fic is well-paced. The business view is quite realistic. And the professional interactions are not over-done.

And if you want more there is a nice 7000 words epilogue to tide you over.
