OMG! This is just *everything* I feel about G/B and so much more. I have to admit, I was not a fan of that pairing, initially. I think I was still bitter over the Erica debacle, and did not want another snarky woman in Gary's life. (Heh!) But several viewings of The Iceman Taketh and I was won over.

Great essay, and great fic recs.
