A Little Salsa Picante by Amy R [PG]

Greetings fellow crack_van enthusiasts! I'm abby82 and I'll be taking the inaugural Forever Knight van 1962 Caddy for a spin. I'm delighted so see such a warm reception to FK here at crack_van. Hopefully you'll find something in my recs that'll strike your fancy. Sit back, relax and enjoy the scenery. Nick and the gang are here for the entire duration of our trip. And when the sun comes up, we'll simply thrown Nick into the trunk. Just as long as we don't let Schanke pick the music (sorry Schank, no polka), I think he'll be fine.


Fandom: FOREVER KNIGHT
Pairing: none
Length: 3327 words, one-shot

Why this must be read: Set during the first season, I couldn't think of another story more fitting to get Forever Knight on crackvan rolling. It has a little bit of just about everything: a homicide investigation, Natalie's work on Nick's "condition", a Myra story and even the insinuation that Nick is going into flashback mode. The main focus here is the Nick and Schanke partnership. It is a large and significant aspect of the show and Amy R. does a wonderful job of weaving in small touches that regular viewers of the show would pick up on. At the same time, those touches serve as a good introduction for anyone looking to explore the world of FK fanfiction. Forever Knight is sometimes summerized as the "Vampire Cop" show and Amy R's decision to tell this story through a Schanke POV doesn't ignore the vampire element of the show. Instead, she subtely references it as it would appear to Schanke, who is not privy to that information about Nick.

Schanke grinned. Everyone had a weak spot, and he had pegged Nick's long before Stonetree hitched them up. Heck of a lot better to have a partner with a weak stomach than a weak brain. But that didn't let Knight off the hook. Oh, no. Absolutely not. "And once again, the sight of some salsa picante lays low the mighty Detective Knight. Do you realize, Natalie, that Mr. Pride of the Metro PD here cannot cope with a little ketchup on his crime scenes? Alas, if only the criminal element would restrain itself to poison to coddle his delicate sensibilities--"
