Hello, crack_van! It's been a long time since GetBackers was featured on crack_van. If you aren't already familiar with the fandom, I'd suggest you take a look at gisho's excellent fandom overview.

As gisho put it: "GetBackers has everything. Supernatural powers, futuristic technology, strange family traditions, witches, magicians, mad scientists, Dashing Adventures, Touching Moments, and more passionate male friendship than you can shake a stick at. Also, boobs."

Now you have to check out it, right? *g*

Why this must be read:

Shido/Madoka is one of my two GetBackers het OTPs. They're sweet, and absolutely adorable together. Unfortunately, it's hard to find much in the way of fanfic about them. I love their dynamic, and incandescens perfectly captures Madoka's quiet strength, and Shido's desperate need to protect her, even from himself.

He shifted his feet uncertainly. "Madoka," he started.

"Yes, Shido?"

"Doesn't this ever -- that is, don't I ever --"

She waited, hands folded politely in her lap.

His breathing speeded up. "You shouldn't let me stay," he said curtly. "I'm not safe."

"Well, of course you aren't," she agreed.
