Reactions/Reviews
I read 'Tiger by the Tail' early on - it's very good gen, the kind that lets you feel the relationship between the Lads in the middle of a cracking good case fic. The gen sequel (BBTH) kicked me out early on - too much of the kids. Although I had enjoyed them in TBTT they were too much for me in that one. They're basically the same in AOTT, but more tolerable, as the story is all the better for the slash relationship *g*. And the case part of the plot is good.[1]
