Summary: Lewis and Hathaway, finding each other
Review: They don't really seem to understand how it's happened, but all of a sudden Lewis and Hathaway are kissing, and Hathaway's naked. Lewis is obviously confused, and a little reluctant perhaps, but really - it's sex with James Hathaway, and Lewis is only human after all.
This very short piece, which could fairly be described as PWP, captures the inchoate moment of discovery beautifully. It really doesn't matter what has gone before, only what follows; it's passionate and untidy and full of questions, but one thing is for certain - that they both want it to happen.
The first comment by a reader in response to this story is *breathes again* and that sums up its attraction nicely. You do just sit there and hold your breath waiting for the inevitable; they will kiss, they will make love and - mercifully - they will still stay in character. This is a delicate balancing act, carried off to very good effect by a writer with a solid reputation. As usual, I wish she had written more - but, also as usual, I'm just very glad that she wrote this at all. It's short, and sweet, and hot, and comes highly recommended.

Title: Doing Things The Old Fashioned Way by Sarren
Fandom: Lewis
Pairing: Lewis/Hathaway
Categories: Romance
Length: Medium (2,517 words)
Warning: None
Rating: Author rates as 'Mature'; I'll go with PG-13
Author on LJ: Well, clearly
Website: Archive Of Our Own
Summary: Hathaway knows what he wants
(In honour of Series 4 of Lewis starting tomorrow in the UK.)
Review: The author describes this as a 'PWP' and honestly I think that's fair; it's not a particularly substantial piece of work but it is very sweet and entertaining nonetheless.
Simply put, it's Christmas Eve and Hathaway goes looking for Lewis - only to find him still at his desk trying to navigate his way through an online dating website. Lewis's daughter has told him that it's time he started dating again; Lewis, reluctantly, concedes that yes, he is lonely.
On the flimsiest of pretexts, he lets Hathaway come home with him. They're supposed to be getting to grips with the website from there, but once they've had a drink and discarded a few inhibitions they find themselves yet again on the brink of 'that conversation' - the one they so nearly had on screen - and although Lewis honestly attempts to do the right thing, there is really no hope for him after that.
I wish I thought it could really be as simple as this for Lewis and Hathaway, but Sarren handles the complicated dynamic between them very well and gives a nice flavour of their semi-reluctant banter into the bargain. As with most stories of this length, I wish there had been a great deal more of it; however it's light and gentle and the boys are happy together at the end - and what more could one wish for, really, than that?

They're supposed to be getting to grips with the website from there, but once they've had a drink and discarded a few inhibitions they find themselves yet again on the brink of 'that conversation' - the one they so nearly had on screen - and although Lewis honestly attempts to do the right thing, there is really no hope for him after that.
I wish I thought it could really be as simple as this for Lewis and Hathaway, but Sarren handles the complicated dynamic between them very well and gives a nice flavour of their semi-reluctant banter into the bargain. As with most stories of this length, I wish there had been a great deal more of it; however it's light and gentle and the boys are happy together at the end - and what more could one wish for, really, than that?

Review: The author describes this as a 'PWP' and honestly I think that's fair; it's not a particularly substantial piece of work but it is very sweet and entertaining nonetheless.
Simply put, it's Christmas Eve and Hathaway goes looking for Lewis - only to find him still at his desk trying to navigate his way through an online dating website. Lewis's daughter has told him that it's time he started dating again; Lewis, reluctantly, concedes that yes, he is lonely.
On the flimsiest of pretexts, he lets Hathaway come home with him.

Summary: Lewis has a question; Hathaway answers it
Review:
This is a small fandom at the moment but already there are one or two memorable classic stories, although to be fair none that really deserve the description 'epic'. This, however, is one of the more satisfying. It's a little short on specifics and motivation but then it is intended as a PWP and we all know what to expect with those. Here Lewis is being slightly annoying, trying to wrap his brain round what it would be like to be sexually involved with a man, when Hathaway gets tired of his questions and gives him a demonstration. Naturally, when kissed by his Sergeant, Lewis responds by kissing him back; he has, of course, only been waiting for James to show an interest in him. Before too long they are having sex in the shower and Lewis is learning to overcome a great many taboos which had previously been part of his life.
James Hathaway is rather oblique and quite challenging for a writer to get a handle on; here, he is perhaps not quite as accurately portrayed as Lewis, but nevertheless he comes over as a cool, easy-going character who is difficult to upset. The down-side of this is that we don’t quite get the emotional involvement from him that we do from Lewis, and their exchanges seem rather more practical than romantic. Nonetheless they seem to enjoy one another, and there is a definite sense of commitment in the way James involves himself in Lewis's life.
With writing as good as this it is always a regret that the author has not chosen to go more deeply into the subject and produce something detailed and substantial. What is here is, like the aroma of garlic bread emerging from an Italian restaurant, delightful in itself but really only just enough to whet the appetite for more. If the same author returns to this relationship in the future, it will almost certainly have been worth waiting for. I hope that at some stage she can be persuaded to do so.
