"Hair of the Dog" by @incog_ninja

*rubs hands together and grins evilly* I am so excited to share this fic. Although it may be considered short in length—being complete at twelve chapters, plus one outtake—Hair of the Dog is unique in its pairing, steamy and tangible in its descriptive sensuality, and compelling as you read both POVs of the hauntingly beautiful and the frustratingly blind—and I do mean that in a good way. I really fucking do.

So, what's the pairing you ask? Well, Edward and ... Leah. *laughs* Yeah, yeah, I know. I thought the same thing—"Really?! How does that work?" Well. Let. Me. Tell. You. The pairing not only keeps things interesting, but REAL—believable and true to the challenge called a "relationship" and daunting in the concept of life and responsibility as well.

After having read the first two chapters of Hair of the Dog, I questioned why Edward and Leah aren't written together more often. The author, Incog_Ninja (formerly known as mjinaspen), amazingly kept the characters' canon personalities. Edward—the man of ease, yet tortured because of it. He holds a facade of self-assurance, but he's essentially thirsting for confirmation of one's thoughts. And Leah ... the angry and distrusting woman because of a past she can't escape. She longs to be wanted—needed—but still desires to be self-sufficient. Incog_Ninja has taken what appears to be complete opposites, who are contradictory themselves, and made them cling and repel like static—rubbing each way and that to create a shockingly beautiful current of passion.
