OUaTiM fic the Third

More El/Sands Mexico fic - following on from Wires and Strung. Sands got what he wanted, but that doesn't mean he has to stop there.

58,000+ words, and hopefully fulfilling the quota of offensive language, blasphemy, violence and smut that a Mexico fic of any length requires XD

Frayed

Warning: My usual fandom American betas are snowed under with life business right now, so this hasn't been filtered by them - any stray Britishisms entirely my fault, and if you point them out, I'll gratefully fix 'em!

It would have helped the film a lot to have had more motivation and characterisation for people like Ajedrez - as it is, she's just a cipher, and seems pretty random. It's difficult for an audience to engage in any way, positive or negative, with characters who only have a few brief scenes in which they recite the plot.

Fideo does seem to like killing himself in fics too, yeah XD I guess it fits, since he's killing himself the slow way in canon. I really don't envy Lorenzo the Fideo-babysitting job, can't blame El for bailing on that one....
