MacGyver (2016)

  • teeth which bite, wounds that never heal by saintsurvivor, There’s a disturbing trend that’s been showing lately. Or, Murdoc will never be a hero, but he likes being owed. (Hurt/Comfort)
  • Good Mourning by MidnightMix, When Macgyver is framed for a crime he didn't commit the only person he has left to rely on is the enemy. (Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence)
  • Pandora's (In)box by TallDarkAndAnxious, Murdoc and Mac have more in common then (well, Mac) would like to admit to. Mac feels something when he’s with Murdoc. Something he won’t touch due to a case of denial, and analyzing his complex emotions for a world-renowned assassin isn't something he wants to run by the Phoenix department therapist.
  • Unlikely Hello, Unlikely Goodbye by mossterious, A bit of a MacGyver au about if Mac and Murdoc met in slightly better circumstances, and managed to have a bit of a twisted friendship before he was hired to kill Mac. And perhaps a bit more. (Enemies to Friends to Lovers)
