It's Small Fandom week here at ER (we define small fandoms as those that have fewer than five recs on the comm) and I'm kicking things off with a fandom that isn't going to be a small fandom for much longer:

Title: The Story of McClane's Life by megyal
Fandom: Live Free or Die Hard
Pairing: John/Matt
Categories: post-movie, drama
Length: medium
Warnings: n/a

Author on LJ: megyal 
Website: http://pen.dumonium.googlepages.com/home

Review:
This story starts with the following quote:

Major Grant: You're the wrong guy at the wrong place at the wrong time.
John McClane: Story of my life.
-Die Hard 2

and then proceeds to describe how all of that applies to his relationship with Matt. Flirting, jealousy, and smut ensue.

I don't usually rec stories this short (3,500 words), but this story is just so perfect I couldn't help myself. Each scene fits its prompt perfectly and yet the scenes come together to a seamless, cohesive whole; the characterization is spot-on; Holly and Lucy are absolutely awesome; and the writing is damn near perfect. Just a fantastic fic all around.
