Example Fanworks
Fanfiction
- every sign pointed straight to you by parkrstark, 2 years after Sarah is born, Kevin's world is shattered when Jenny dies. After a too close call during a case, Kevin realizes he's all Sarah has left. He can't keep risking his life with Sarah here, and 'marrying' his partner is the only way to keep her safe in case he dies. And if he happens to fall for him along the way, he's not complaining. (inspired in I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry)
- Observe and Detect by shrift, In which there is an early morning call-out, breakfast food betrayals, the pulling of pigtails, and a groove that gets lost and found.
- Domesticity by joyfulfeather, When Esposito loses his apartment, Ryan takes him in.
- Kevin Ryan is a Better Detective than His Personal Life Implies by celli, “Okay, listen up, Sparky. Esposito has been trying to woo you.”
- That Star Fall Down by fiercynn, Ryan opened his mouth to give a sharp retort, but a sudden look at the expression on Esposito's face made him close it again. He looked not only pissed, but a little too invested; and there was that strange feeling in Ryan's stomach again, except this time it wasn't heavy so much as tight and clenched, threatening to choke all the air out of him.
