Whoa, Numb3rs has sucked me in again. It's the perfect show to watch when you're sick. I love the underlying family vibe, and the case-of-the-week structure, and all the pretty eye candy in form of Rob Morrow in jeans, dark shirts, and FBI tactical gear.

However, once again, I'm left with a fierce longing for a long, insightful story pairing the Eppes brothers that actually deals with the fact that an intimate relationship between them would be something that no-one could ever learn of. Not without Don and Charlie losing everything.

Also, I want more Don/Colby slash. Preferably post-Trust Metric. Someone wrote in a story that Colby has a kind of hot submissive vibe. Yowza. So true.

Oh, where was I? Slash pairings on Numb3rs. Right. I'd also love to read Colby/David. Of which there's far too little, and also, nothing longer than an episode tag.

There are really enough male main characters on this show that one's kind of spoilt for choice. Well, I'm surprisingly OTP-free in regard to Numb3rs, but for some reason, I can't stand slash involving Larry Fleinhardt and/or Ian Edgerton. Despite the fact that I like their characters just fine. Strange. Irrational. I don't care.

Anyway, why are the only stories exceeding maybe 2.000 words that feature Colby in an m/m relationship I'd read about ones pairing him with Evan Lorne (of Stargate: Atlantis)? There's something wrong with this world.

Want more Don. Want, want, want.
