Summary
Written for Porn Battle 10, and written as a NNPacker's equivalent of the Unnamed Faction's "missing scenes". Natalie, still somewhat out of it from her night of heavy drinking and overwhelmed from Spark's thwarted attack, is lovingly tended to -- and more -- by Nick. Inspired by a line from the Skeeter Davis song ("Don't they know it's the end of the world?") which served as the title during the Porn Battle, and containing some quotes from the episode A More Permanent Hell. Prompt was: "Nick/Natalie, cold."
She was suddenly very embarrassed and ashamed of herself. She'd begged him to bring her across like some idiot teenager trying to get pregnant to make her boyfriend stay and, when he refused her, got drunk and sought the company of a vampire she didn't know.

Notes
"Full of Grace" is an epistolary tale that sweeps across all three seasons before exploding the finale. It builds a richly rounded life for Grace while exposing key canon events from her side and shaping an arc for her relationship with Natalie -- from early misapprehensions, through holding at arm's length, to adopting Natalie's peril as her responsibility. Invoking FK's multiple canonical psychics and shamans, this story cleverly makes Grace a Gullah herb doctor, a twist that both dramatizes lost opportunities and enables a stunning climax.

Summary
On her thirty-first birthday, Natalie dyes her hair for the first time.
"But what could she say if Nick... envied her? Worse, what if this change in her pushed him to notice time passing, to see the day coming when department ribbing about his appetite would turn instead to his youth?"

Summary
"I thought it would be a good time to get to know someone who's so very--" Janette paused and let herself focus on Natalie. "Who's so very close to Nicholas."

Notes
Janette's whim to take a closer look at Nick's mortal life triggers a miniature comedy of manners when she turns up, unexpected, in Natalie's domain. Character-appropriate banter bobs on the ocean of how much they all have yet to learn about each other at this early canonical point. Interestingly (and unusually for a first-season meeting between Janette and Natalie), "Could They Choose Between" builds its motivations up from Schanke taking refuge at the Raven in "Hunters," rather than from the "Cherry Blossoms" tag.

Notes
"Darkness Shall Have No Dominion" resonates with Nick's perspective. It weighs hope and despair, connection and alienation, through brisk action in the professional case of a missing child and the personal concerns of Nick's human friends. The story builds angst as well as suspense on references to flight, hunger, freezing night and burning day. At the last, as the lost boy is saved, the seasonal setting offers a flourish on what might or might not be a miracle. The story renews Nick's commitment in a manner not only satisfying, but triumphant.

Summary
When she didn't answer, the beer gods volunteered what he would have called Way Too Much Information. "He's a Scotsman. You know how that is, with the sheep and the clans and the responsibility. But he has these forearms, Janette, and they just...there's...well, he's straight. You know. With the..." He gave her an apologetic look. "Sheep."

Notes
[Warning: violence.] This chilling interlude of villain-on-villain carnage characterizes Lacroix with thorough canonical resonance — cruel, possessive, territorial, clever — in a third-season context, out of Nick's sight, untethered by the agreement about "mindless killing" invading Nick's life. Lacroix's retaliation is elegantly repulsive. "Drowning" responds to a "worst-case survival scenario" challenge of "how to escape from a sinking car," and the use of Nick's beloved Caddy twists a knife; additionally, a passing mention of Tracy intrigues. This ruthless action drama celebrates the conundrum of Lacroix as Nick's antithesis and ally.

The characters organize to protest the working conditions in fanfiction.
"Bad day on the fic list? Let me guess — you spent an entire shift making love to Tracy Vetter for no emotionally established reason in no logically explained manner, and you need an aspirin and a shower?"

Notes
Amy's hilarious -- and eye-opening -- take on the FK characters' perception of the fiction we write for them. The relationships between the characters are implied, rather than compelled. And, of course, Fleur is a wonder here as the ensemble's darkhorse -- showing off her brainpower and poise; being Nick's sister, but not being solely defined by him.

Summary
Nick shoved Natalie aside and headed for the door; they were not nearly finished and she'd be damned if she'd let him walk away. Nick falls off the wagon, Nat tries to talk to him, but he's well over the edge, out of control and physically harms her. Set after "Night in Question" and covering the time from then to the end of "Sons of Belial."

Notes
Nick's self control slips and he lashes out with his strength, rather than his fangs, against the one he cares for most. A riveting take on the dark side of Nick and Natalie's relationship, and how it could be perceived by those not "in the know". It puts to light what I can never eloquently express no matter how many essays, rants and recaps I write: that their codependency is not at all dissimilar from a relationship between a temperamental alcoholic, and his enabling spouse who blames herself for his shortcomings.
