Pairing: Brad Colbert/Nate Fick

Why this must be read:

One of Brad's clandestine missions goes sideways and a reporter asks Nate about it. The structure and perspective of this story are great. You see the reporter make his case - as Nate gives him nothing - which is intertwined with the fallout of what happened. An intriguing look at a less idealistic Nate and how he approaches the realities of today's war.

"It doesn't matter if you see the picture or not. You know that plane landed. You know that because you met it, Captain Fick." He looks at Nate intently. "Three hours after your own flight landed at John Wayne airport, sixteen hours after you gave a speech in West Virginia, a day before you cancelled an appearance on The Situation Room."

All this love, between you and schlicky, is probably enough just enough to kick me into writing mode again.

Hmm. I'm not feeling that spirited about it. I have to do a rewatch first. It's been almost a year since I even poked at GK fic. I need to find their voices again.
