When Two Go Together Along The Way by Catwalksalone (Teen & Up Audiences)

Fandom: LEWIS
Pairing: Robbie Lewis^James Hathaway (explanation below)
Length: 37k
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] catwalksalone

Why this must be read:
"No one else understood. We faced the world down together. I think...I think if we'd tried to untangle ourselves then we may have come out of it missing a limb or an organ or two."

When Two Go Together Along the Way is a series of four linked stories. The first three are beautifully crafted glimpses of Lewis and Hathaway negotiating and simultaneously inventing their relationship. The author has a lovely take on it, describing it as a non-sexual romantic relationship, and saying that ^ is somewhere between / and &.

The fourth story is a brilliant case fic. It's long, emotionally satisfying, and it feels as though you're watching the show. The quote above is from one of the original characters involved in the case, but I feel it stands for the theme of the whole series. The stories are about family; finding it and recognizing it in whatever shape or form it comes. How Lewis and Hathaway come to acknowledge what they are to each other is quietly and beautifully done.
