The Reading Room

This week's fic was suggested by sarituss, but she is being a very good student and writing essays, so I'm just posting now on her behalf. Hope you find time to drop in for a while, S.!

The fic is "Be My Valentine” by Gwyneth Rhys:

So apt for the season! It would be difficult to write a fic stuffed with any more pink-wrapped, heart-shaped, chocolatey and bubbly but anonymous Valentine's goodies, perfect for a romantic wallow. Except that Bodie is feeling singularly unromantic about it...

Does just reading this fic make you go all weak at the knees and dewy-eyed? Or are you a Bodie?:

Just thinking about it brought a scowl of displeasure to his normally smooth, calm features, the brows knitting darkly together. Bodie generally hated holidays, anyway,... But bloody Valentine's Day... a million-pound industry ..., just to sell greeting cards, chocolates, expensive dinners out, and bloody roses. No, make that fucking roses. hee!
