Why this must be read: I'll admit to being a total sucker for pick-your-POV fics, especially when there's sex involved. There aren't enough of them in the world, they're not at all easy to write, and this fic pulls it off brilliantly. And it's hot. I mean, really hot, in that terribly twisted way that Ten and Simm do so well, where there's history and loathing and lust and need and some-very-messed-up-variety-of-love all getting mixed up and making things so very much more interesting. While this isn't remotely fluffy, to the point of consent being problematic, there's so much emotion underlying it, on both sides, that it's bittersweet instead of just heartbreaking. And hot. Have I mentioned hot? It's pretty damn hot. Next time you're in need of a PWP fix, look no further.
