Summary:
There comes a moment in every man's life when he has to suck it up and admit that he's dating his rival.

Review:
So this week I was reading this hilarious piece over at Jezebel about why women logically believe Lochte to be a douchebag yet still find him sexy (some of the comments are comedy gold). Two days later I came across this gem of a story and laughed my whole way through it (in a good way). [livejournal.com profile] hapakitsune has written a great story with Phelps understanding Lochte is a big dork but still can’t help but like him.

I love the irreverent, unrepentant tone of this. I like that their sex isn’t “romantic” but it works for them. I like the condom snapping, the competitiveness, and the realization they’ve been in a relationship for eight years. This is just a fun, fluff piece that makes me smile.

I don't know which is funnier, the Jezebel article or the fic. But thank you for the laughs!

I know next to nothing about the Olympic swimmers, and that article was hilarious! Now I really need to sit down and read that fic. :D

The fic seems to be open only to those with ao3 accounts, which I don't have. Is there anywhere else I can read this? :) Thanks!

I'm sorry I don't know of anywhere else it's housed. The author's journal links to AO3. I would suggest trying again as I don't have an AO3 account but I can access it via the link and also by searching for it under Swimming RPF tag on the archive.
