Hot Rec:

Summary: Excerpt: Fortunately, five years of dealing with monthly involuntary transformations into an, essentially, wild animal, had equipped James with a profound sense of pragmatism and matter-of-factness in the face of most things that life could throw at him. Unfortunately, his current condition was completely outside of that realm. Between the headache, the nausea, the throbbing scar and the burgeoning erection—well, he was starting to feel a bit panicky. And completely useless.
