I'm linking to the post at Archive of Our Own, but the story is at Gossamer under Salmone, V. if you prefer text files. It's easy to hit that kudos button, but you can leave a comment, too.

This is kind of a crazy week for me, but I'll get back to the nomination queue for next time, I promise.

Read How to Fake an Orgasm.

Oh: anybody notice that the "symbol" of the relationship crash is an ashtray? Who the heck deals in ashtrays anymore? And that S thinks it an appropriate gift for her boyfriend is a deal-breaker. First, M doesn't smoke. Second, we remember who does.

I did: Here, which is a couple of comments above this one.

Sue doesn't seem like a Mary Sue to me. She has positive and negative traits and she isn't a stand in for either of the writers.

Oh, I like having an "other" because a real story needs a conflict. Smut biscuits may be tasty, but have little nutritive value. As much as I like "Never," W was right in pointing out that it posited a casefile that got tossed after the sex.

Yes. A conflict, a crisis or two, a resolution. This story had no sex scene but I certainly didn't miss it. I still wish someone would write the casefile for "Never," although I think it would end up much darker than its predecessor.
