Now this is a hidden gem. I was intrigued by the character tags, wondering how you could possibly make such a pairing work. I was not expecting so much depth, drama, and post-series character exploration here on top of a wholly unique ship and premise. From the very beginning, with Flim trying to outwit Carrot, who's clearly doing the same before the former can realize, you had me wanting to see where this went. And, boy, did you deliver!

Any story that can make me feel empathy for Flim (or Flam) is already doing some heavy lifting, but it doesn't show in your prose here. Everything feels smooth, from the dialogue to the backstory. The banter feels natural, as do the emotions between them. (Again, making me feel empathy for one of the least memorable villains [IMO] in the series is no easy task.) While I understand that this was a piece written to fit contest parameters, I genuinely would love to see more of it. If not a full-fledged sequel, some hint towards where things go for the two from here.

Great work. Have a fave.

Jesus Christ could one person on this site write a M/M story without making it sad?

Fuuuuck, dude. This is some grade-A stuff right here. I’m hollerin’, those last few lines are chefs kiss and I want a whole story about these two now. I don’t suppose that’s something you’ve thought of? God, this is so good.
