"One Foot behind the Other" by Sakura123 (T)
Fandoms: UNCHARTED
Characters/Pairings: Nathan Drake/Elena Fisher, Nathan Drake/Chloe Frazer
Length: ~9700 words
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: on FanFiction.net
Why this must be read:
A series of 11 ficlets set over the course of the first two games, what I liked about this was it traversed the ups and downs of their relationship, filling in gaps in canon, without either drawing out the angst too much nor oversimplifying it. A lot of the time troubles with Nate/Elena as written in fic boil down to a notion she'd ask him to give up his dangerous escapades, ignoring the taste of adventure she clearly seemed up for in UC1. Here it recognises Elena doesn't shy away from danger either, with the reverse of him worrying over her getting herself in a tricky situation as one of their issues, alongside a different complication from his profession causing a rift.
