Title: Don't Drink the Water
Author: cloudlessclimes
Wordcount: ~12 000
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Brendon/Spencer
Warnings: Drunk sex
Summary: A sort of PhD AU. Definitely a tale of hip waders, hook ups, stupid fish puns, and not so coincidental meetings. Wherein Spencer is a fisheries scientist near Hammond Oregon and is perfectly content to spend his days trying to track white sturgeon, bearing the mocking of his arts major best friend, and failing badly at romance. Until one day at the beach he meets Brendon, and starts to think there's more to life than underfunded research and making first year bio students cry.

Notes:Many thanks to the bandombigbang mods for organizing this whole thing. Thanks also to my beta and hand holder, ohnoscarlett, and any and all who had to hear me prattle on about this for years.
I am not a biologist, but ohnoscarlett is so I have been assured that all the details are good to go.
I've also never been to Hammond Oregon or the Columbia river, but thanks to the power of Google I've stared at 100s of maps and aerial views and river studies.
