Re: Things to Nominate - M/M office romances

Because I'm thinking ahead (to distract myself from current assignments), I'm trying to think about what to nominate for M/M rares, Night on Fic Mountain, Not Prime Time etc this year.

And after watching The Big Short, I find myself with a sudden strange craving for slightly awkward M/M office/co-worker romances: accountants, bankers, personal assistants, politicians, lawyers, news anchors? Are there any good rare/obscure canons or pairings for this? Any recs welcome.

I think Almost Human has a great potential-M/M pairing. The main guys are two policemen, one of them sexually repressed, and there's build-up of their friendship through the first (and sadly only) season. It's one of those canons you find yourself to watch not for the plot of the episodes that are just somewhat-futuristic procedural cases, you want watch it because of the main cast, their exploration and the advancement of their relationship from 'forced to be partners' to '(possibly best?) friends'. The main pair's dynamic and chemistry is great and while I've started watching the show just for the sci fi element I was surprised into ship them hard.

Thank you for reccing - I've seen Almost Human but hadn't thought about it in a while, so thank you for reminding me :) It is a lovely and very slashy show! I wish it hadn't been cancelled just as it started to find its rhythm.
