Chapters: 9/? Words: 108,036 Rating: Explicit Relationships: Butch/Buttercup Utonium Additional Tags: Future Fic, mature themes Summary:

Crime doesn’t pay—for the criminal or the hero. Short a dollar, late on rent Buttercup takes a job without knowing the employer. His professionalism is impressive. Probably a lie. Likely a trap. But she’ll buy into it for quick cash. All she has to do is model lingerie in front of her rival.

Chapter Snippet: The weight of the phone ceased. The restless town hushed, and all that remained was gravity and chemicals. Butch was the Earth and his force irresistible. Like every fitting, his body was a steady presence, and the slightest sway moved his body and Buttercup’s.  The spin of the earth betrayed her, her body betrayed her, everything was against her, and she was against him.
