Why This Must Be Read: One of the things I love most about this story is the way that it takes a common slash trope (coming out) and turns it on its ear by writing it in a gen kind of way -- not that the story necessarily precludes the possibility of a relationship in the future if you wanted to see it that way, but that's not what they have now, and that's not what this story is about: it's about being close enough to someone to tell them anything, including things you've never told anyone else. The casual comfortableness that John and Rodney have with each other is one of my favorite things about their friendship, and that is captured beautifully here.
