Slight but significant revision to the bio in my user info. Following a longish trail of virtual breadcrumbs this past week led me to a cycle of Kim Possible fic written by allaine77, with which I find myself extraordinarily impressed -- and perforce required to somewhat modify my opinions and preconceptions regarding at least certain subsets of slash. (The fic itself is more easily findable at Fanfiction.Net under "allaine", or via her YahooGroups page, than via the LJ.) If only it were all as good as this, though I rather fear otherwise.

[It also occurs to me, after having inhaled that whole story-cycle, that my own previously posted piece is dangerously capable of spinning off a cycle of its own. And whereas I don't think mine is likely to veer into onstage slash, I'm not as confident of that as I'd have claimed to be a week ago....]

What's the pairing?

[graycardinal]

Kim/Shego -- built up carefully and convincingly over the course of several long stories, all of which have considerable actual plot and make good use of the entire available cast in addition to setting up the pairing.

I probably ought to note here that the entire series rates itself at PG-13, so that this is not the fic to be reading if one is out for explicit sex. (Not that Allaine pulls punches about the evolving nature of the relationship -- far from it. But the sex, per se, is clearly not the point of the exercise.)
