5U175 by Closer (NC-17)

  • Mar. 5th, 2012 at 7:02 PM
**My apologies for the late posting. RL intervened.

Title: 5U175
Fandom: Suits
Pairing: Harvey/Mike
Categories: Meta, Romance, Humor
Length: Long (26,409 words)
Warnings: None

Author on LJ: N/A
Author Website: Closer @ AO3

Summary:
Harvey sometimes moonlights as a Star Trek BNF. Mike might have an attitude problem on the internet. TiberiusGhost is strangely compelling, for a recluse who never goes to meetups, and Harvey's finding this kid Photohead vaguely familiar...

Review:
At first I wasn’t sure if I was going to enjoy this fic because a lot of meta fics give me a second hand embarrassment squick, so I kept my cursor firmly poised over the browser back button. However, this fic was more like a love letter to fandom in all it’s ridiculousness, revelry, and love.

The characters fit seamlessly into fandom and Closer does a fabulous job with many of the various parts of fandom accounted for. From anonmemes to fanfic to fandomsecrets to wank to shipping each part rang true through content and comments. I’m especially impressed with the formatting of the story itself because I think it truly adds to the narrative.

Overall a truly great story that is well worth the read!

I was so glad I set aside my meta fic avoiding squick and read it because the story turned out to be awesome!

Eh, RL. It happens right? :-)
