Mini Review #1: LateNights by EBradsbury338
FANDOM: Outsourced (2010)
SHIP: Todd + Manmeet
RATING: M
SUMMARY: “There was an adorable sexual tension that had developed through pranks and friendship, and late at night Todd and Manmeet have their moments.
Their...steamy...moments. Todd begs and Manmeet, well, he just gives him what he asks for.”
REVIEW + NOTES: initially I was looking through the alphabetical fandom list on A03 for something else and found Outsourced, and I remembered watching the 2006 film in a human geography class and I also remembered noticing that Asha was too good for Todd. Apparently there was a 2010 sitcom remake??? That's pretty cool. Overall this fic was chill and had some interesting language but was short. If you like Outsourced or you hated that Todd got with Asha because she was literally too good for him in every way she didn't deserve this stupid ass cardboard dude, then read this I guess?? The Wikipedia article for Outsourced describes Manmeet as, "girl-crazy" so l'm not sure if it's in character but like why would I care bro. The fic feels kinda intimate though, it's sweet. You definitely can feel the whole tension radiating off the writing which is a positive. If I get the motivation l'lI watch the Outsourced show even though I didn't really like the movie.
FAVORITE LINE: "…pressing them together at angle that was far too pleasing to be legal in India." (What the fuck does that mean)
RATING: 2 out of 8 DVD copies of Outsourced (2006)
Probably like closer to omega male than gamma male ranking
