I'm searching desperately a N/CC fic, which I'm sure is on this site.
Somehow remember many details but not the whole plot of the fic.
All I know is that the fic set place after Niles heart attack, while he is recovering. The family is not there (don't know if they are on vacation or just away for the evening) so Niles and CC are alone in the mansion.
The main scene I remember plays in the kitchen in the evening. Niles is depressed and gloomy that everyone is tiptoeing around him, trying not to put too much stress on him...He tells CC the story of his father (or was it his grandfather?) who also had a heart attack and who spend the rest of his life sitting under a tree on a bench doing nothing cause everyone thought he is useless for any work after his heart attack. Niles doesn't want to end like this.
CC feels pity for him and she asks him if he ever had a desire he wanted to fulfil like a expensive vacation or something like that and Niles responds that he always wanted to make love to her.
The whole scene is a very emotional insight of Niles' fears and I remember that's what I really loved about that fic.
Well one thing leads to another and before anything could happen Fran and Max come in. CC leaves the mansion not without giving Niles the keys to her appartment...
I search this fic for months now and I can't find it...
That one is "The Heart of the Matter" by SME. Alas, it is no longer on this site, and is quite a slippery fic to track down. I don't have it, but if someone else out there does....well, do I have to finish the rest of the sentence??
...and Madison, I would be glad to forward it to you, if you wish. Thanks for the clue.
Happy reading.
Enjoy!!

Thank you Madison for remembering the title and Teri for sending me the fic! I had no clue it was from SME. I always thought I have all of her fics saved on my hard drive. Now that was a surprise!!
Thank you for making my day
Madison,
The story should be waiting for you in your in box.
Happy to be able to help.
Thanks go to those wonderful writes like SME for keeping us interested in these great characters.
...And I am ready for the requests, anything to feed and keep the Vortex alive!
I send the fic to you right away, but please stop digging in old threads and pushing them to the top by responding. Just open a new thread next time There are more actual topics, which deserve being at the top...
Teri could you please please please send this to me too. It sounds amazing. Thanks so much. and if you happen to have any other SME fics lying around could you maybe pass them my way. I don't think I even read any of them. Thanks SO much. Kelly
