Karen Jackson: Good Little Girls Don't

So I have been talking with people about Karen Jackson a lot lately, and so I thought I'd make a sort-of meta-y type post that sums up some of the conversations I've had in the comments and other places about this girl and the wank surrounding her character throughout season 2. This post is for stainofmylove, by the way.

I honestly don't even know how to put my feelings about this into words. This is the first time she's ever written this pairing and LET'S JUST SAY SHE IS A GROSS OVERACHIEVER OKAY? Really? REALLY? Perfection.

I meant to rec this back when she wrote it a little while ago and then never did, shame on me. This is pretty much perfection and one of the best of this threesome I've ever read. Really. Go enjoy it.
