Prosfic Bingo: J is for Just When You Least Expect It (Just What You Least Expect)

[tinturtle]

Today was another rereading day. This time I picked a fic that I've read several times before: Just When You Least Expect It (Just What You Least Expect) by stew, which follows slightly older Lads through a turning point in their relationship. For reasons I can't entirely pin down, I just love this story. I can think of a number of criticisms of it, mostly to do with the way the central conflict is resolved. Yet I love it anyway. It always makes me happy. 10,520 words. B/D slash.
