On the first day, it rains constantly. Sam likes the rain, because it forces people indoors, and it makes the rest of the world nice and blurred. If he squints, through the streaked glass, he can almost believe he’s back home, another rainy day in bloody Manchester.

He sits by the window, at the battered little table, feet up. There’s a ring-bound notepad in front of him, and a heading in pencil, ‘Things To Do’. The rain makes him think of Blackpool, which makes him think of Annie, and then Gene, and then he tries just to think about the rain and nothing else, and crosses out ‘Blackpool’ on his list.

He could go to a concert. He always liked the seventies anyway, always got an urge to defend himself when he heard someone say the music was crap back then. He likes Bowie, Sweet, T-Rex. He could pick up some merchandise, even, a T-shirt or a poster or just a badge.

But even as he thinks about it, he knows he won’t do it. Going to a gig means believing he’s really here, that this is all real, and that means-

He won’t do it.

Sam rests his forehead against the glass, the ice-cold almost like a burn. And what would be worse, he wonders, to see a performance entirely unlike what he expected, or one that was exactly like it?

"Not so shy anymore," Snape said.

"No. Not anymore." Had he really thought her shy, all this time? She felt only a dim sense of gratitude that he made so many of her explanations for her.

He brushed a fingertip against her cheek. "You make me feel young."

"You make me feel wise," she said, without ever considering that it was true. She was asleep almost before the words were spoken.

Hi

tashira_ronin

I'll be driving the NCIS van for the November month. I am not a writer but I read enormous amounts and found that fanfic was much cheaper than buying fiction and most times it was much better. So having read and read and read I thought it was time to share the writers I found and the van seems a great way to do it. I will admit to being Australian which means some of the things I find humorous may have to do with differences in customs, holidays etc
I read ALL types of fic but I am especially love good dialogue and angst. Slash, Gen or Het, I don't mind if it captures my mind .

( Oh and it looks like in on L plates, thank you for your patience)

On with the reccies

Fandom: NCIS
Pairing:No Pairing , pre slash if you squint.
Length: 11K

Why this must be read:
I am a sucker for how members of the team came to be at NCIS. We Know Tim, Ziva and Kate's back stories but Tony, Ducky and Abby are a vast source for wondrous Ficcage.

This one by LeDiz has humour and great character dialogue to make you feel right at home in the NCIS 'verse. Could be pre-slash , if you squint.
