I'm doubling up on recs because I fell behind a bit and I don't want to short change any of the wonderful fics out there. I'm also having a very hard time not doubling up on reccing some of my favorite authors.

Why this must be read:

Author's Summary:When Sarah calls him on Andy Goode's murder he's not surprised, but neither is he about to explain. It's not that time yet.

Anyway, this fic is Derek Reese-centric and it plays with time, too. He never does explain himself to Sarah when she calls him on murdering Andy Goode. We know that they knew each other in the future, and we know what came of it. But this fic explores the possibility that more happened than we could imagine or Derek could possibly suspect.

Also, Derek is not overly fond of the Great John Connor. And perhaps he's right to be so distrustful.

Derek rolls his eyes and steps into the side tunnel. "Kill yourself with a clean knife."

Andy Goode nods dark eyes and takes the offered knife. "Not the plan." His hiss of pain cuts off Derek's reply, a small and precise horizontal line parallel to a bone visible because of the man's clenched fist.

He looks up and it's a glimpse into the past Derek doesn't want to see. A snap of a grin, eyes bright and feverish with the thoughts behind them (and Derek knows this guy's smart like Kyle should have been). "You're not the only one to keep secrets under your skin."
