In the privacy of the dim hallway, you shoot yourself a tiny smile of triumph in the mirror. You think you may finally have done it -- maybe, just maybe, you have finally outmaneuvered your brilliant, exasperating brother. There’s no way he could be expecting this. He probably thinks you’ll turn up in a baby blue thrift-store suit with threadbare polyester cuffs, elbows shiny with wear. It’s the kind of thing he’d do and pass it off as ironic. But tonight, you’re going all out; you’ve shot so far past irony that you’re right back at sincerity again, and if you’re secretly hoping that the sincerity takes his breath away a little bit, well, maybe that’s just the kind of sick fuck you are.

This is going to be a short story. A little more than a one shot - but no more than 4 chapters. It is complete, but I won’t be posting all at once to allow some tweaking and beta work. Based loosely around Merch from the Season one episode, I kissed a girl, but AU.For those following my other stories, fear not - I will finish them. I don’t know when..... but they will not get left to die in cyberspace ether. Disclaimer: I play with the characters for fun, make no money from doing this. I own pretty much nothing - so please don't Sue me. The rightful owners are Tess Gerritsen, TNT, and any other associates that I don't know about.
