Why this must be read: It's a wonderful established relationship fic in which David ends up feeling like his life is one big mess and Lorne promises to fix it, and employs his own smarts to keep his promise. I like that we're shown Lorne can be smart when he wants to be and the relationship stuff is angsty at the beginning but then Lorne fixes everything going wrong in Parrish's life and it's so romantic and heart-warming. Truly a gem of a story.
