icarusMinnesota Sunset, Jack/Daniel, NC-17, by Tazzie
This is well-written with an excellent Daniel-voice, hot sex, emotionally intense and unpredictable, despite the usual "Jack and Daniel at Jack's cabin" plot.
The first of this four-part series is the best. Beware that Tazzie... well, I suspect this writer is very young, as these two men in their late 30s and 50s have the rocketing emotional instability of young teenagers (particularly Daniel), someone needs to ration her use of the word "love," and her description of someone drunk is not believable.
But her writing makes up for all of this.
You can really hear Daniel's voice, and she manages to avoid the cliches, while writing cliches. It's in her attention to detail and how she focuses on the ordinary human actions -- brushing your teeth, the feel of water down your back, the way she backs into the story slowly, as Daniel would -- that makes this compelling.
