brightknightie | FK Recommendation June 2011

What's Good? "Happy Anniversary" (1996, ~4K words, PG) by butterflykiki is June's installment in the recommendation-of-the-month project. In this sharp confrontation, written while third season was still in progress, Natalie drops all her defenses in a bid to save Nick from Lacroix... and himself. On this side of "Last Knight," the story combines the energy of live canon with a shivery consciousness of last chances.

"Forgive me, doctor." A smile tugged at the edges of Lacroix's mouth. "Many women have desired Nicholas. Some have even cared about him. Quite a few thought they loved him... but I can't recall the last one who was willing to take such risks for him, knowing all that he is. No, wait— I do remember. What a long time ago that was..."
