Sidelines

review by James W.

Rated NC-17; Season 4 AU

Slow to pick up - a bit bogged down in similes and clever descriptions, without much actual action or scene-set up in the first chapter. The dialogue is lots of fun, and episodes of season four are neatly woven into the story and tilted all AUish. The plot develops slowly with lots of low-key humour.

The story does move too slowly, at times, and the AU aspects aren't always supported or explained fully. Sometimes the characters are just enough out of kilter that it feels like you're missing a chapter.

Overall, well-written and a pleasant read. Never gets too angsty or funny or dramatic, but balances those elements nicely.
