whitewriterI gave a shot at EvanBlack's fic : Whiteout, based off a fancake recommendation of one of his other stories I didn't get to as when I was scrolling down his AO3 page, the description popped out at me:
M and S are stranded post a plane crash. It's recently written too (2020) and wait for it: there's a book cover too!).
The story (and it's cover) can be found here: https://x-libris.xf-redux.com/book/whiteout/
The Goshen series springs to mind as another "stuck somewhere whilst sick" fic.
I wasn't expecting Bonetree quality and I didn't get it with Evanblack (sorry Evan) and whilst the idea was captivating in its own right, plus downright predictably UST turns RST. It was short: and that was a good thing. The smut was near terrible. The medical stuff mediocre. Things that I would have liked to have been expanded on weren't and I wasn't on the edge of my seat for 99% of it. There was some comedy, and that was cute.
I feel overly critical saying this because overall, it kept me awake during one of the most unriveting nightshirts on the ED short stay ward where I was seconded for the night; didn't take up too much time that should have been otherwise better spent and overall provided much of an escape from my RL problems.
So it achieved its goals:
It made me want to read some other M and S stuck on a desert island fic.
I didn't even get to the actual story I was intending to read, but I did find another what seems to be UST gem -- that has about 1700 kudos on AO3.
With that many Kudos I don't think I can not read it.
More so, I'm surprised I didn't read it the first time I popped around to AO3.
