Why This Must Be Read: Because it shows a different relationship in a way that feels real. It's not fluffy bunnies love, it's hard and it's a dependancy and it fits with the two characters here - it's not overt ship, for the most part it's friendship but the events in the story evolve it to something more, just as they evolve the understanding of the characters. I like it not just for the insight into Heightmeyer, or for the other side of Beckett we get to see but because it shows a relationship that feels possible, likely even, however unpleasant the circumstances surrounding it are.
