Reactions and Reviews
This is an oldie, but a goodie. Erin did a lot (just about everything!) to pave the way for Strife-fic, and this story's one of the reasons why. It features two trademarks of her mischief-god fiction: the perfect dialogue, as colloquial and maniacal as the character himself, and the humor, which had me chortling throughout. It's sexy, too (and this is from a reader who doesn't like Strife or Joxer, two of the main characters). What holds me there, though, is the ending. I won't spoil it here, but Strife's attitude, which prompts the final gesture, is delicious and perfect. I wanted to cheer for him, and for the story itself. [1]
