Post-series: on the dark path, Sagan and Maigrey find a moment's shelter.</ And so a few more, again in no particular order, merely my dipping into the archive. 1. Prisoner of War by Anonymous (A Knight's Tale) 2001 http://archiveofourown.org/works/607595/chapters/1094971 <p>Again another wonderful look at the interaction between William Thatcher and Edward the Black Prince with the back drop of a war and its good and plotty and ever so subtle and how these two seemingly disparate characters not only have come to understand one another bust also implicit trust each other, even when the circumstances are dire ones.

3. Lobelia and Aconite (Addams Family (1991) Gomez and Morticia Addams, a very unique take on a girl meets boy, falls in love at first sight, and it has that off-beat quirky, macabre feel that is so spot-on for both of these characters.

4. The Ways of the Universe (ST:DSN) Julian Bashir, Mile's O'Brien
<"waysof">
This lovely post-series reunion, character development for both of them, its tone is both upbeat and bittersweet, and I loved it to pieces.

5. Passage (Death Gate Cycle-Weis & Hickman) Haplo, Marit, Alfred in a series of inter-connected snapshots and its just touches on everything that made these three characters great, both seperately and together.
