Title: Perfect Symbiosis

Author: IViv

Canon: Venom

Pairing: Carlton Drake/Riot Symbiote

Rating: Mature [R]

Summary: Carlton Drake and Riot are drawn to each other. Trouble is, neither of them knows what affection is. Following the destruction of the rocket, the pair becomes separated. This is the story about Riot finding his lost host. They learn to appreciate each other and heal as two halves of a whole.

Recommendation: I do love a plot-ish story for rare pairings, and this one is so good! There are feelings, but they are not dealt with well (if Venom and Eddie are your relationship model you've got problems). There are worse bad guys then the malevolent space goo (Hydra) as well as some reasonably serious post-torture health complications. But Riot possesses a kitten, so it's totally worth it.
