Spoilers: Through Season 2, Episode 1, The Tip

Notes: The Palm of God's Hand takes a closer look at the somewhat intimate relationship that Beecher and O'Reily seemed to share during the first Season of the show.  Always touching each other, getting high, wrapped around each other, enjoying their time together.  Part II deals with the time directly before and during the riot at the end of Season One, and the way that impacted their relationship after the riot. 

Having spent close up and personal time with my betas, I kind of wish I could  have shared them with Nicole - she tends to switch tenses, and wander a bit on occasion, but it doesn't hurt my enjoyment of her fic.  You can feel the way Beecher and O'Reily enjoy themselves together, she captures their fun and exuberance, slipping in and out of intimacy easily with the aid of the drugs - and always in character.  It just feels right.
