Nathan/Peter
- Knowing the Name of a Bird
By:

Rating: PG-13
Summary: Peter needs to know who he is, no matter what it means
Recced because: I was a sucker for post season one fic/early season two fic, and this just killed me. I have an enormous soft spot for brotherly love conquers all, and damned if Nathan and Peter didn't deserve it to after season one.
- Coin in the Sea
By:

Rating: PG
Summary: I ask him why he loves me. He says 'Because. You're my Peter.' I tell him, 'I don't know you.' 'I don't care. I love you,' he says. What do you say to that?
Recced because: Same as above; amnesiac Peter and broken Nathan reuniting? It's kind of hard to beat.
- Homework

Rating: PG
Summary: Some things schools can't teach; some are on a need-to-know, Petrelli basis only.
Recced because: This is utterly, utterly adorable, whether you take it as gen or pre-slash; her innocent, adoring Peter is so cute, and Nathan's sweet too in his own, silly, not-yet-that-mature older brother way.
- Where Symbolism Ends and Truth Begins
By:

Rating: PG13
Summary: Peter makes a late-night trip to the laundry room.
Recced because: You pretty much never get to see the horrifying realisation you fancy your brother pulled off well without a metric ton of angst, and this is brilliant; you feel so, so much for Peter here, and poor Nathan trying to look after him without realising he's making things worse.
- Observation

Rating: PG-13
Summary: No spoilers -- pre-series. Truth comes in coffee, black, with two sugars.
Recced because: Outsider POV is almost invariably awesome, and this little take on Nathan compared to Nathan-with-Peter is marvellous.
- George Bernard Shaw
By:

Rating: PG
Summary: If he couldn't be President of the United States he was at least going to be president of the God-damn living room.
Recced because: Set post series one, it's a clever, practical take on what might have become of the Heroes; and Nathan and Peter's relationship is handled very, very well in as sensible and logical a way as the plans the Heroes make in this.
