"Without You" by Lady_of_Rohan (G)
Fandoms: UNCHARTED
Characters/Pairings: Katherine Marlowe/Talbot
Length: 2641 words (44005 for the series)
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: on Ao3
Why this must be read:
Marlowe and Talbot of UC3 are intriguing villains, though for a lot of people in fandom they simply fall under the 'love to hate' category. I can't say when I played the games that I shipped them but I certainly wanted to know more about their motivations and history than the game provided. Lady_of_Rohan appears to be the person in UC fandom who has written the most in depth about them, fleshing them out wonderfully in this series which starts off with this mostly gen fic about them that leads up to the UC3 story.
Later fics in this series do have UST/romantic in them but as I read - as someone who hadn't considered them together until I saw this small fandom ship about - I found it believable, not to mention an interestingly different ship with its dynamics of older woman/younger man, who seem to be mentor/protege as well as employer/employee. Even if you don't ship this pairing I'd urge you to give this series a go if you want to know more about these two as like me you might be pleasantly surprised to like them together.
Without You (the Tallowe series here with rating up to Mature for some fics in it)
