Fics like negotiating with the truth

The first time Mat and Rand ended up in bed together was two weeks after the fall of the Stone of Tear and it was, without a doubt, Perrin's fault. The trouble was that Mat's plan had worked — drinking with Rand and reminding him of the Two Rivers had done him some good, had lightened the shadows around his eyes, and made him look more like Rand and less like the Dragon Reborn. So it made sense to do it again. And Perrin kept not showing up. He always had a good excuse, afterwards, but Mat figured he knew the real reason. Perrin had fallen in love, and he found his ladylove infinitely more interesting than he found his old friends from back home. So Mat and Rand kept falling into bed together. It seemed easier each time it happened, less time passing between the first drink of the night and the first kiss. It was good practice anyway, he told Rand one of those early nights, which had made Rand laugh — actually laugh, not just barely smile — and kiss him.
