Sharp Compassion by Finnegan Geist (G)
Fandom: THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN
Pairing: Nathan and Rain
Length: 3,130
Author on LJ: not known
Author Website: not known
Why this must be read: Well, because although this has been recc'd here before (back in 2006) I do believe it's worth another one. While there are certainly other good stories which feature or focus on Nathan and Rain, this one is just such a lovely look at the character of Nathan, his skills, his motivations and some of his patients. He and Rain are the first canon "couple" we meet in the show and in this piece they are still very much a potential pairing rather than an actual one. I always like that Rain, in her own quiet way, is the pursuer.
Nathan coughs and shifts a little, squinting at the splinter as though that will make him focus. A small, irregular burst of air hits the top of his head and she might be laughing at him, but he can’t quite care. He finally works the splinter free, holding her small hand firmly in his, and studies the bit of wood for a moment before giving in and raising his head. He’s ready to say something stupid like That was a tough one, Miss Rain, but the words get lost somewhere along the way.
