My Daughter's Choice by Eve [PG]
Fandom: FOREVER KNIGHT
Pairing: gen, Nick/Janette, Nick/Natalie
Length: 5188 words
Author on LJ: not applicable
Author Website: Eve's "Forever Knight" Fan Fiction
Why this must be read: The Nick and LaCroix dynamic on Forever Knight is one of the series' most interesting and intriguing relationships. Many a fanfic have been written about these two, whether it be a look at the father/son dynamic, the antagonis/hero, or the teacher/pupil, to name just a few. What makes this LaCroix POV story so appealing is that it fills in the blanks of Nick, Janette and LaCroix's travels through the centuries. It depicts instances in their history in which Nick and LaCroix weren't entirely antagonistic but enjoyed and grew from each others company. It also paints a wonderful portrait of Nick, the person, and why his character is so appealing. Shades of Nick's romantic relationships over the years are also touched upon, with special care given to the show's two main female characters. Nick and Janette are two young vampires in love who bring out the best in each other and Nick and Natalie are a headstrong and idealistic pair. A fair warning: the story references events from the series finale and offers a scenario on how those events played out years later.
In taking his blood, however, I was surprised by his trusting nature, his easy, guileless affection. His ability to love, confident that he would be loved in return. His native innocence had not been tarnished, merely buried by circumstance. He followed me into darkness, asking few questions and trusting me implicitly. Unlike Janette, he did not wish to escape life; in spite of all its hardships, he still yearned to embrace it. He wanted only to serve a master who would protect and honour him. He needed guidance. He needed authority.
In short, he needed me.
