Fic rec.

This is my new dictionary definition of wrenching: "The Beauty of the Dark," a Gattaca slash fic by Candle Beck. I've only just seen the movie; I didn't feel I came away from it with a particularly good grasp of the characters, but holy crow this fic makes up for that and more. Absolutely beautiful and devastating stuff.

Why is this fandom not bigger?

Great minds porn alike, methinks.

Heh. I actually had this movie low on my priorities list because Ethan and Uma were so much in the press that I assumed Jude's part was very small. I didn't expect at all what I got. And certainly not the slashiness.

I raced through the whole slash section at ff.net; there's some good stuff there, but this fic was far and away my favorite.
