Fandom: SLINGS & ARROWS
Pairing: none
Length: 1311 words
Author on LJ: quiesce
Author Website: Fic on AO3 and LJ
Why this must be read:  Crisis!Management!Fic!  Because the only thing more awesome than Anna and Nahum are Anna and Nahum when they team up to deal with Darren-related drama. Plus, we get bonus Maria, who doesn't show up nearly enough in these stories. The first time I read this, I could envision it playing out in an episode. Quiesce does a great job with the voices to bring all four characters to life. I'm amazed--and sorry--that this is her only S&A fic.

Anna gasped, raising a hand to her mouth. "He's going to jump?"

"Maybe? Probably not. Well... maybe? Who knows with Darren?" Maria shrugged.

"And you didn't try to go after him?"

Maria winced. "He might have been trying to get away from me."

"Maria! What did you do?"
