Ooh, I know I already mentioned this (with the wrong title - go me!), but I'm still going to rec it. Greener on the Other Side is one of those wonderfully real fics that hurt, in the good way.

I once heard WW fandom described as a great fandom if you can get into the fun of wanting and not having. It's got a great array of fics where the characters really care about each other, where the chemistry is just bubbling beneath the surface, but the reality of the way the world works means that it'll never be anything more than an attraction.

This is a great example of that. The lines are in character, full of this amusing, touching dialogue, both Sam and Josh get a chance of telling their own POV and personally, I loved the style of the piece. It's unusual, but it makes the story feel well-rounded, and gives the ending a nice, uplifting note, even though you know these boys will be hurt and disillusioned.

*happy sigh* These are the WW stories I love. Well, these and the ridiculously hopeful ones where they end up happy. (I'm allowed to be contrary.)
