author's note: My first La Femme Nikita fic. This episode fascinates me. Not because it's good; it's alright, but because it makes some sort of attempt to address Nikita's emotional distance in the wake of the Gelman arc and the Volker mission. I just can't get over how awkward it must have been for Michael and Nikita while they were living in that apartment. How much affection does Michael allow himself to show? How does Nikita gracefully sidestep Michael's advances? Or, do they stick to their respective corners and eliminate the personal element while they're there? Uh, the angst! I love it. Also, yay for writing a fic in a 20+ year old fandom.

summary: "Michael, I'm lost. I don't know what I am anymore."

FIC: I am made of longing [la femme nikita]

rating: Explicit for sexual situations
pairing: Michael/Nikita, Helmut Volker/Nikita (canon compliant)

author's note: I wanted to explore that tiny possiblity of Michael and Nikita moving in together. The scene where Michael suggests that Nikita stay with him while Section sanitizes her apartment is probably the biggest example of Michael looking at Nikita with hearts in his eyes. He's got it bad for her. The fact that Michael is the one to broach a very personal topic during a mission shows that he wants to progress his relationship with Nikita to the next level. I just wanted them to live in that place for a while. In this episode we also start seeing hints of the emotionally distant and confused Nikita that permeates the first half of season 4. The angst didn't end with the Gelman arc. It's only getting started.

summary: "You can stay with me."

"Are you asking me to move in with you?"
