A comment on a YT vid recced my Heat (1995) slashfic (Fannish Fifty #15)

For a while, my fic Ground Rules was the only English language fic on AO3 for Heat, Michael Mann's excellent 1995 action film about the relationship between a career heister, Neil McCauley (Robert De Niro), and the LAPD detective pursuing him, Vincent Hanna (Al Pacino). Love that movie - it's got a great ensemble cast, it moves so you never notice the run time (kind of like Scorsese's films), and the pairing is to die for.

At the time I wrote that fic, I was shocked to find that there was no other fic for Neil/Vincent - they had so much obvious heat and chemistry together! Over the years, it's gotten many comments from like-minded people who saw what I saw and came looking for Heat slash fic. Those comments always delighted me.

But last night, someone left a comment on that fic, saying that someone else recced my fic in their comment to the "absolutely incredible "chris fleming explains heat" YouTube video (and it is incredible, and hilarious!).

After I watched the vid (and had to keep rewinding bits where I'd laughed too loud to hear what he said), I managed to find the comment on the vid that recced my fic. Both comments kinda made my day, ngl!

Here's a screen shot of the fic rec comment on the video.
