Why This Must Be Read: Dollhouse set in the Thomas Crown Affair 'verse, with DeWitt as the thief and Dominic as the man after her. She's rich, successful, and beautiful; she's also involved in the biggest digital bank heist in history. He's clever, determined, and charming, and he's going to get the money back by any means necessary. OMG, I LOVED THIS SO VERY VERY MUCH. It's not just a rewriting of one of my favorite cat-and-mouses movies with another one of my very favorite ships; it's also exceptionally well written, with great dialogue that's smooth and classy. A lot of it is lifted off the movie itself, but it's the original lines that make me grin like a cat. The emotions and the chase are wonderfully described, and damn. I do so love the DeWitt/Dominic fandom so much. Even now, they do not fail to leave me with fic that is artfully written better than the majority of fics I've found in other "bigger" fandoms. Talent, yo.
Awesome appearances from: Priya, Anthony, November, Topher, and a glimpse of Paul. Plus more.
“I don't recommend cornering her, Detective,” Dominic asserted from the passenger seat. They sat in the prone vehicle, both studying the airplane being prepped a few hundred feet away. “She won't react well to that.”
“Shall I go up and request her presence at tea, Mr. Dominic?” [Priya's] snide tone revealed just what she thought of his suggestion, but Dominic grew increasingly uncomfortable with the way her police officers were handling themselves as they stepped out of the numerous vehicles now parked on the tarmac. Most of them were too eager, their holsters unsnapped like they were about to enter the O.K. Corral, and the rest had the hard eyes of people who'd lost more than a bit of their humanity on the job.
“Do you really need twelve officers to serve a cease-and-desist to a white-collar-criminal?”
“Are you going to be a problem?”
“I thought I already was?”
“After today you can't be involved with the case,” she confirmed, though Dominic had already suspected the district attorney had told her as much in their brief conversation just out of his hearing range. “The D.A. has the backing of the International Finance Corporation on that.”
He could already imagine his bosses were furious, but Dominic couldn't really find it in himself to care. “Tell your men to lock their holsters and fall back. She's not going to be a problem. She's British aristocracy, for God's sake. At the most, she'll smack you and challenge you to a duel.”
Tsetsang smirked but shrugged. “We go by department policy, Dominic, and your judgment is skewed.” She paused before exiting the car, “But I'll have them lock their holsters.”
