I was going to link you to these anyway, since they're some of my favorite pieces, but since you really like Mary and Nathan, I bet you'll like them even more: Tea and Sympathy. The same author (J. Brooks, who writes great plotty gen in general; you can find her fic listed on this page) also wrote a sequel-ish story called Inkslingers, which is ground-rolling levels of funny -- Mary hurts herself, and dragoons the Seven into helping do the special edition of the newspaper for her while she's out of commission. Really, how hard could that be? (...*giggles*)

Hmm. My links seem to have gone wandering, so that's all I've got for now. You should hit Katie up for some; she's read a lot more than I have.
