Desiderium by Jessica Roberts (PG-13)
Fandom: WITCHBLADE
Pairing: Ian/Sara UST
Author on LJ: none known
Author Website: Believe in the Witchblade
Why this must be read:
Jessica is one of my favorite authors in the fandom and her stories tend to closely follow canon characterizations and relationships. Desiderium is perhaps my favorite by her, and it's an excellent introductory story for those who are new to the fandom. The mid-sized read is basically a 'case file', and it has Sara traveling to Chicago to testify at the trial of a mobster. Nottingham, with Irons' blessing, follows along to ensure her safety. Away from his master's close scrutiny, and under the guise of providing the best protection possible, Ian takes the opportunity to invite Sara to stay with him. Somewhat to her surprise, Sara accepts- and learns more about the 'man in black' than she ever would have guessed.
A cell phone rang, piercing through the roaring of bullets over their heads.
"No," she said, with a short laugh. "That's funny. You want me to get that?"
"Sure," he answered, his voice almost sounding amused. "Left pocket."
She located his pocket. Sticking her hand in, she fished out the phone and brought it to her ear.
"Hello?"
"Sara?" Kenneth Irons' voice asked. "Where's Ian?"
"Irons, we're a bit busy at the moment, but don't worry, he's right on top of the situation," she said, as Nottingham groaned and shook his head. Sara tried not to laugh. "Can I take a message?"
"What is that infernal noise?" Irons demanded.
"Automatic weapon fire," she said simply. "Like I said, we're busy."
"Ah," he said after a pause. "I'll let you get back to it, then."
There was a click and Sara snapped the phone shut. She tucked it back into Nottingham's pocket.
"He'll call back," she told him.
Expect solid writing (if a tad heavy on the exposition at the start), plenty of sexual tension between Sara and Ian, lots of action, some nice humor, and an underlying theme concerning Ian's struggle with his loyalty to both Irons and the Wielder. It's good stuff, and if you like this story, be sure to check out the others on her site.
