Slash-fest


It's Saturday already and that means one thing and one thing only; SLASH!
As a lot of you might know, I've been a little busy lately. So you'll have to do with a one-shot this time. But what a magnificent and yummy fic it is. 


'Man Up' is the wonderful result of a collaboration between LoveComesLast and herinfiniteeyes.
In 'Man Up' Jasper is a member of the water polo team. One afternoon he's spending the day at his team member Edward's house. Edward's sister Alice is enraged with Edward for using her razor and pours glitter all over his wet, naked chest. 


What is seemingly a minor detail, is the start of self discovery for Jasper. Suddenly, he can't look away from Edward and in his mind he even compares him to a male model. 
Freaked out by the way his mind is playing tricks on him, he makes up an excuse and gets the hell out of that house. 


At home, he dives straight for the alcohol to drown out that voice in his head and forget all about what happened. When his friend James drops by, he's already pretty wasted. But they still head on down to the bar. 

Besides meeting Victoria and sending a text to Emmett, - in which Jasper confesses that he can't stop thinking about Edward - nothing much happens. 


That is until Jasper ends up in the men's room with Victoria. Call it lack of judgement or just sheer stupidity, but he does. The blowjob doesn't end the way Victoria expected though as Jasper calls out someone else's name. 


Disgruntled by the disaster of his evening, Jasper heads on home. 


The next morning he is awaken by Edward, who claims to have brought him a hangover remedy. Obviously, it's an excuse, all though Jasper can really use it. In reality, Jasper never sent the text to Emmett. He accidentally sent it to Edward instead. 


Edward is clearly pleased with this knowledge and tries to explore their mutual attraction in a very pushy way. Jasper manages to throw him off after a while and Edward leaves. 


The story doesn't end there though. Because Edward has gotten a little taste of Jasper and knows it's only a matter of time. Jasper is still confused and tries to ward off Edward's advances. But in the end the responses of his body speak louder than his mind and they find their way into each other's arms after all. 


You should all go read this one shot. Jasper's confusion and his need to prove his manhood is understandable, but at the same time you keep thinking what an idiot he is for not seeing the obvious.
Edward's persistence and pushiness will make you want to slap him on one hand, but cuddle him on the other for trying to make Jasper see things more clearly. 


If you didn't have enough with the one-shot, you can read 'Man Up' here. herinfiniteeyes added two alternate versions to the original on her link. 


Keep it dirty and I'll see you next week.
Have a very steamy Saturday!
