Theme: Protector

[http://users.livejournal.com/_workinprogress/]

I need some feel good fic :)
not that I need happy!fic for that. Even fics where everybody dies can sometimes make feel really good in a round about way.

I'm looking for a story where one character is protecting the other.
Can be the usual military-geek dynamic. Or a role reversal where the military guy is injured and it's up the geek to take care of them.
Or a group of them responsible for the lives of some villagers or something.

Gen and slash are make my day, but I'm not totally averse to het either.
No humor fics, please. I mean, they can be funny, but also "serious".

The need to protect should be (one of) the focal point(s), not just a thing mentioned in passing.
(also acceptable: anything from the protectee's POV. And 'protect' can be applied loosely. Say, something where the goons realize just how much they owe their lives to the geeks. It's the emotion I'm after, not the particulars).


If somebody could tell me just what the hell I should tag this entry with, that would be swell.

I love stories that feature protection as a theme, too. Here's one of my favorites, Mckay/Sheppard, in which both characters are touchingly protective of each other. I don't know how to link things from comments, but here's the url:

to link with text you do the pointed brackets instead of the rounded ones:
(a href='URL')TITLE(/a)
et voila: JailFic (http://www.merples.com/fic/jailfic.shtml).


Also: thanks!
