Prompt: In The Future
n.b. I'm not an English native, so don't mind my "funny" writing and enjoy the amazing fics you're going to find here, please :)
. Five Times Mike Wynn Worries About Nate Fick (Or, the Year That Gives Gunny Wynn Grey Hair) by mydocuments [Mike, Brad/Nate - PG-13]
when Nate asks Mike to meet him for lunch in Newport because he has news, the Gunny assumes the worst. A thousand possibilities run through his mind - Brad is getting reassigned, Nate is moving back to Baltimore, the two of them aren’t seeing one another anymore. A part of him is relieved when Nate shows him a neat sheaf of paperwork, but a part of him is even more alarmed than before.
"Papers to run for a congressional seat in the 48th California district."
I love Mike. And I love his relationship with Nate (and the others). He's a sort of Big Brother of them all.
Plus Nate in politic is my kink ;)
. A Thousand Words by shoshannagold [Brad/Nate - R]
He and Bryan talked sometimes, but it was pretty fucking unlikely that Recon's battalion XO was calling him from work to shoot the shit.
"Bryan. Who? How bad?"
"Take a breath, Nate. Nobody's dead, I promise you. One of your boys fell in the sand and scrapped his knees pretty good, that's all. If you can, I'd like it if you baby-sat for a couple of days."
"I didn't know they were playing in the park this week," said Nate, following Bryan's lead. He breathed deeply, in and out, as the rush of adrenaline fell off. Brad had been wounded in Iraq. Minor injuries, probably just a flesh wound, but as far as Nate knew, Brad at Pendleton this week, teaching a scuba course to potential Recon Marines.
"We let them out after dark for a change," said Bryan easily.
Right, a black op.
The setting is very interesting and unusual. I consider this one of the best characterization of Nate (she nailed the military/ex-military brain imho).
. The Places You Have Come To Fear the Most by passionofmind [Brad/Nate - PG]
Brad Colbert loves exactly three things: his Yamaha R1, the United States Marine Corps and Nathaniel Fick.
[...] On a grey November day, Brad receives a piece of paper that changes his life forever.
Sometime the s*it comes from someone you'd never guessed. Painfull, but it's good that they have each other.
. Celebration Guns by starlurker [Brad, Brad/OC, Brad/Nate - R]
Brad has certain rituals after coming home from deployment, because missions were almost always a clusterfuck that needed the rationality of routine afterwards to make sense.
I choose this fic, because I think it should have more love.
It's painful more real than others.
. Closed Without a Scar by romanticalgirl [Brad/Nate - NC-17]
"It’s nothing, Brad."
Brad’s jaw clenches hard and he nods brusquely. "Yes, sir." He reaches for the doorknob and twists it viciously.
Nate curses under his breath. "It’s not nothing." Brad stills and Nate rubs his eyes with his thumb and forefinger, catching his sigh of relief against his palm. "It’s not nothing, but it’s stupid."
I'm closing with a very domestic fic. Someone is having an bad moment.
Feel the adorableness.
Note: this is a VERY short list. Some of my choices were recced yet (I'm looking at some lovely Ray/Walt and Brad/Ray *pouting*), and it has been really hard to cut down the list to only five (well, some of them I'm going to rec another time ;P )! You are a too much amazing fandom ♥
