With Mr. Technician, we never know what the genre and tone are going to be, just that the execution will be thoughtful and professional.
It's always worth taking a look at a Technician story, but they vary significantly; it's not like opening a story by an author who writes strictly in a single genre, and a single tone. You don't know for sure whether it's going to touch on your favourite topics, but with The Technician, that doesn't matter, and this story is a case in point.
I can't say that it gripped me in terms of genre, but it worked really well anyway. The core story has a strong enough hook that I wanted to keep going, and the other details enhanced the setting. It's simply a solid story, worth reading by anyone who appreciates a tale well told.
Thanks Technician, for a great story, and one that shows that a story can be erotic, memorable, and fun, without touching on the reader's favourite feels.
