I love good guys

This is the story I contributed to the December 2009 oldschoolfic ficathon.  My thanks to senmut for her prompt of "Nick and Lacroix, Family Bonding," and to batdina, amilyn, leela_cat and much_madness for beta-reading and discussion.  This prompt nudged me to reacquaint myself with some episodes I rarely watch, and revisit some themes I hadn't touched in years.

	•	Title:	"In a Family Way" (also on AO3)
	•	Length:	~7,700 words
	•	Date:	Posted to FKFic-L January 30, 2010
	•	Rating:	PG-13 (gen)
	•	Summary:	Nick makes friends on a flight to Paris to see Janette, but Lacroix is on the same plane.
	•	Setting:	December 2009
	•	Characters:	Nick, Lacroix, Janette, Others
	•	Quotation:	"Your denial of the natural law does not alter it, Nicholas." / "Your rejection of hope does not defeat it, Lacroix."

What's good?  Happy new year!  To kick off the recommendation-of-the-month project for 2008, hearts_blood generously let me feature her uplifting "Carpe Noctem" (2003), a first-season, flying, friendship, movie-night, N&N, song-challenge story.

What's new?  In December 2007 on fkfic-l, we received a bounty of new fanfiction the like of which the good old list has not seen in a single month in years.  Seven new stories (including one ongoing work-in-progress) posted.
