Why this must be read:

'Crazy fools, the Irish!'

That's how we're first introduced to Father Maloney, with two soldiers watching on in awe as he moves fearlessly and selflessly through the rain of bullets and mortars falling on the streets of a French village, giving last rites to the dead and the dying.

Religion in general is often a tricky subject in fic but Epigone tackles questions of faith and its loss with such grace and respect that everything falls into place.


The men open their hearts to him, and Maloney doesn’t mind. It’s the job. Their trust touches him, but also unnerves him: these young killers-to-be confide in him as guilelessly as the altar boys back home, without even the shield of a confessional screen. Sometimes he looks at them, grimy and grinning under their helmets, and thinks they can’t be much older than those altar boys.

The dead are far simpler.

Why this must be read:

This is number 3 in a series of 5 fics, but it can be read alone. Very intriguing, full-length Mossad/NCIS undercover op through the body of the fic, bracketed by ship stuff. Even if you dislike Ziva because she’s not Kate, give this a try, because this is definitely not a mission anyone would have tried to send Kate on. (Think of Ziva as an original character if you need to and go with it.) I’ll even tolerate Jen in this, and I really don’t like her on the show, but here you get a taste that she might have had a clue about being an agent at one time.

Why this fic must be read:

This is a highly enjoyable story about Jack and love. And sex, but really more about love. He loves everyone and everything and that's what keeps him going for some five billion years before the Doctor and Martha find him on New Earth and everything comes full circle.
