tweagueSo Fic in a Box opened yesterday, and I received the most *glorious* gift which everyone should go and read immediately because I am just. Bowled over by how much I love it. Endless love and thanks to my absolutely-a-mystery creator, because they wrote me a fic that punched me right in the feels not once but over and over again. I adore it.
Title: Thesis, Antithesis
Rating: T
Warnings: Self-harm, discussions of the morality of violence.
Words: 10k
I'll admit that it probably hits hardest if you are a tinhatted Bertie &/ Gimlet fan like me, but it's wonderful even if you aren't, especially if you like first-rate whump, hurt/comfort and the delights of a really outstanding truth serum fic - Gimlet's solution to finding a stimulus strong enough to help him override the compulsion of the drug was absolutely outstanding, perfectly in character and absolutely horrifying, and Bertie is utterly perfect, loyal and competent and determined and always the person Gimlet needs. If you've ever wanted to crack Gimlet open a little bit and guddle around with his feelings (ugh), then this is the fic for you.
