Hiding Out at the Raven by fickitten [PG]
Fandom: FOREVER KNIGHT
Pairing: gen, Natalie, Janette
Length: 3202 words

Why this must be read: This story could effortlessly slip into season 1 canon and it offers some fantastic interaction between Janette and Natalie. The tension between the two is not one of danger but of two women slowly discovering fascinating elements about each other and themselves. In the series their common link was Nick and their love of him but by the story's end, the two ladies quickly realize that they could genuinely be friends.

"You will fail you know," Janette says mildly. "There is no cure for vampirism."
"Not yet," Natalie says. "But if Nick isn't giving up, then neither will I."
"Does this life really seem so bad to you?" Janette asks, genuinely curious. Personally she thinks Natalie Lambert would make an excellent vampire, but she can only imagine Nicholas thoughts on the matter if she were to bring it up.
"Does it matter? This isn't about me."
"It could be," Janette says. Natalie looks away and Janette continues, "Don't tell me you haven't thought about it since meeting Nicholas."
Natalie gives her a thoroughly exasperated look, which Janette counters with her best imitation of an innocent smile, sipping her blood wine and waiting patiently.
"Nick would never bring me across even if I asked," Natalie says finally, which Janette suspects is probably the truth. "And I don't know who else I'd trust to do it. So thinking about it would be a waste of my time."
"But you have thought about it, yes?"
"Yes, Janette, I've thought about it," Natalie says. "Is that what you wanted to hear?"
"My my, you are defensive. It was just a question."
She smiles, perfectly relaxed, while Natalie frowns and drinks another mouthful of wine, her body radiating tension. This is far more entertaining than the club.
