Take A Break is a smutty oneshot, Halsin/fTav, blowjob > rimming (bottom!Halsin, people...) > cunnilingus > piv, about 3.9K words. Probably my most favorite kind of fic in the world - short and hot. But more than just being (incredibly) hot, this fic is also packed full of physical and verbal affection.

The characterization of Halsin is wonderful, capturing his sweetness, modesty, playfulness, gratitude, adoration, desire... He's just really really well written, in a way that made my heart ache.

The dialogue and voicing is wonderful, including the classic "come here to me" that I wish I could just hear Halsin say on repeat. That line kills me, thank you every writer ever who includes it. But crispywriter's original dialogue slaps too, with bits like,

"Keep kissing me the way you are and I'll rut you against this door."

and,

And that's what he does say! Another thing I loved about this fic was what he didn't say. Sometimes, it's all about the non-verbal noises.

(Tav:) "H-how is it—mmm—even when I'm up here you still, shit, you still seem to be in control?" [...]

(Halsin:) "I'm sure I don't know what you mean. You have me at your mercy."

"That... That's—ahhh—" You don't think the former First Druid has ever not finished a sentence before and it's magical.

And whoo, lord above, the way he comes undone in this fic. I was melting into a gooey puddle by about a third of the way in, and it stays good for the entire rest of the fic. I think I was actually cross-eyed by the end... I literally couldn't see straight.

Just, an all around amazing fic, 10/10 would recommend, fully plan to re-read many times... Yeah, go read it and remember to show the author some love with a comment!

(and pssst... do you have any fics you'd recommend? do you need a beta? I love reading and I love Halsin, and my inbox is open!)
