Rating/Warning(s): PG-13; Spoilers: 1x08
Genre: Angst, UST/Friendship
WIP?: No (2,900 words)

Why This Must Be Read: The premise is intriguing: Sophie gets lost in the maze of her ficticious identities. I particulary love the intense way Nate's POV is written... watching everything through his eyes, I was completely sucked in.

Rating/Warning(s): R; Spoilers 3x15
Genre: Comedy, Crack, Romance
WIP?: No (4198 words)

Why This Must Be Read: Hilariously cracky; I was giggling through the whole fic.

Summary: Sophie and Nate keep their relationship secret from the geniuses in their lives. Who also can be idiots on occasion. But really in the end they’re quite clever. No, really. (Oh, and Nate and Sophie accidentally get married.)

Rating/Warning(s): Rating: PG-13; Spoilers for all 3 seasons
Genre: UST/Romance, Backstory
WIP?: No (2,700 words)

Why This Must Be Read: I'm a total sucker for this pairing and their delightfully complicated, messed-up relationship, and this fic feels true to both characters. Snapshots through ten years of Nate and Sophie's international cat-and-mouse game.

Rating/Warning(s): PG-13; Spoilers: 3x15
Genre: missing scenes; Romance
WIP?: No (1,300 words)

Why This Must Be Read: A well-written, well-rounded post-ep for 'The San Lorenzo Job'. Just the kind of fic I wanted to read after the credits were over.

The morning is bright with possibility, promising a new future for the people of San Lorenzo.
For Nate and Sophie, it is merely bright.

Rating/Warning(s): PG-13
Genre: Character Study, Action/Adventure
WIP?: No (4,680 words)

Why This Must Be Read: A wonderful, satisfying character study (with bonus background action plot). I just love Sophie, and I love Gabolange's take on her character... or rather, on all the complex personas, all the layers, the lies and the truths that make up Sophie Devereaux.

Summary: The stories Sophie creates for the cons are nothing like the stories she creates for Sophie Devereaux.
