Drive-by rec: They Do Grow Up Quick, Don't They? (Ugly Betty)

They Do Grow Up Quick, Don't They? (Ugly Betty) by trollprincess.

It's future-fic, PG rated, and has a Marc POV. The pairing is Marc/Justin (trust me, it works so well here) but the beauty of this story is Marc's voice, which is just the right combination of catty and sharp, and utterly gleeful.

I want to quote something to show the brilliance, but it's so hard to pick a small slice when I want to quote whole sections.

“That’s Justin.”

“It is?” Marc leans closer to the glass to get a better look. Strange -- he seemed to remember Betty’s nephew being shorter. Much shorter. Definitely not an adult with bulging muscles and a mischievous smile and oh, his mind is definitely not going there. “What have you and that delightful sister of yours been feeding him? Miracle Gro-A-Hunk?”

Um, hi. I got recced here, and went through all your TW fic (unfortunately, it's the only fandom we share). Just wanted to say that I think they're brilliant and that I've friended you. And that every time I see another Who/TW fan from Aus, it makes me really happy. :)
