Story 159: "Pandora's Box" by Rachel Anton

[amyhit.livejournal.com]

I'd like to offer a salute of solidarity to all you LDW survivors who showed up, read your hearts out, and hopefully had your say. It's fics like Life During Wartime that make our fandom exceptional, and it's participation that makes the book club fun. We manage to have both, and that's pretty awesome.

For our next rec, wendelah1 and I though a change was in order - something short and light. It was my turn, and well, Pandora's Box isn't the shortest fic ever, but it'll certainly help us shake off our apocafic blues. *blushes*

I'm uh-- a little bit embarrassed to be reccing this. I feel like I ought to change my icon to a picture of a brown paper package or something. But if PWP can be classic, then I'd say Rachel Anton had a knack for writing smut classics, and of everything she wrote, Pandora's Box might be the most classic. I have a vague theory that everyone in fandom has been recced this fic by someone at least once. But just in case you haven't - just in case you have somehow missed out on this bizarre, sometimes excruciating, funny, and hot bit of smut - I'm putting it up for us to have a crack at. Oh, and it's a missing scene/AU for Bad Blood, so you know it's going to be wacky. *g*
