I have 2 Troubles(Fest stories!)
Sep. 1st, 2014 08:50 pmTroublesFest 2014 stories are live! There are 23 Haven stories in there at the moment.
And TWO of them are MINE! *gloat, gloat, curl up on hoard like Smaug* I don't know what I did to deserve two gifts, but man, I'll take 'em!

Breathe (2797 words) by Anonymous
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Haven
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Duke Crocker/Nathan Wuornos
Characters: Duke Crocker, Nathan Wuornos
Summary: Duke tries to teach Nathan how to meditate. Set season 4 after 'The New Girl'.
"Winter's Flotsam" is a Dwight/Nathan slash story, set after the events of 4x01, "Fallout". Dwight is worried and capital-R Responsible, and Nathan is still shocky and getting back on his feet; they end up learning more about each other and steadying themselves against each other as they adjust to what is to come. (This is the X-rated type of steadying. :D ) I really like how much Dwight needs to be needed and leaned-upon; his dazed reaction when Nathan tells him that Garland would never have disapproved of him, it's very endearing. And Nathan, though he's in a really matter-of-factly dark place, accepts this moment of connection, and reveals a lot of things I think he otherwise wouldn't have. (Also: Dwight is built like a brick shithouse. Aherm.)
"Breathe" is a warm, UST-ish story of Duke trying to show Nathan how to meditate, and actually succeeding despite everything. Duke is still Duke, in his jokes and his happy bulldozing through Nathan's stubbornness, but he also has a very real desire to help Nathan somehow. So with every apparent obstacle, whether it's Nathan's exhausted derision or Nathan's Trouble with his sense of touch, Duke just shakes it off and adjusts things, until he can make the situation work. And in calming Nathan, he seems more strongly affected than he had expected to be.
I hug these stories to my face, and stick the giftwrap-bows upon my head like on my birthday. And there are all kinds of other stories there, waiting to be discovered!
