... it did!

Last night, I devoured the wonderfully titled Time in a Bottle by [livejournal.com profile] astolat, and it's been haunting me ever since.

This is a truly stunning piece of fiction. After about 1 1/2 pages, I forgot that I was reading slash. I got so involved in the virtual world that she creates and its psychological effects, that I got lost in that. Then, with a jolt, I remembered, hang on, this is slash, there is going to be sex, omg how can this be? Because I was so utterly convinced that these two were not going to have sex. This is not the usual pairing of 'we don't like each other but that's just because we are repressing our blind lust for each other'. These two are truly sexually indifferent to each other. They're not repressing anything. And that's what makes it so stunning and so convincing and so beautifully, movingly gorgeous.

SGA.
