Anatomy of a Kiss by Eve [PG]
Howdy! I'm
abby82 and I'll once again be trading in the traditional crack_van for Nick's 1962 Caddy. Forever Knight fans always ride in style! I"ll be reccing mostly canon filled stories as well as those that take a plausible look at the Forever Knight world post the series finale. That's not to say, however, that the occasional rarely seen pairing or scenario won't pop up, so keep your eyes peeled.
Fandom: FOREVER KNIGHT
Pairing: Nick/Natalie
Length: 3338 words
Author on LJ: n/a
Author Website: Eve's Forever Knight Fan Fiction
Why this must be read: I adore this story. Actually, I adore anything that Eve writes but this one in particular is special. I have my NNPacker tendencies but I'm especially drawn to the friendship between them. With that being said, season one does occasionally dabble with the romantic feelings Nick and Natalie have, and that's where this story, set in the aftermath of "Only the Lonely", resides. In it, Nick mulls over the nature of his relationship with Natalie, how its evolved, and the obstacles a romantic relationship would create.
But I had absolutely no claim to Natalie's affections, and suddenly that really bothered me. Watching movies on the couch while she dozed against my shoulder; sneaking up behind her and feeling her wriggle in my embrace; the light in her eyes when I walked into the room; all those teasing liberties I took, knowing they embarrassed her; all those times she'd allowed me to be her comfort, her strength. Those were gifts, and now she was going to bestow those gifts on another. And why shouldn't she? I asked myself. What business is it of yours?
Then, when I saw him kissing her... that was it. I didn't want him touching her--I didn't want any other man touching her. I saw the scene flash through my mind: I would step between the two of them, breaking the happy little tableau, throw him out into the hall, pull her inside, and slam the door. I would to take her in my arms--not the way I normally did, not the gentle embrace of a friend, but urgently, recklessly. And then, I would... I wanted to... I wanted...
I wanted Natalie. Not just her help, her compassion, her understanding, and not just her friendship... all of her.
