Summary
In the canon of the classic series, MacGyver was an only child and, apart from his grandfather Harry, had no living members of his family left. But what if there was an older sister, one that had moved away from Minnesota to attend college in the West, got married, and had two kids? This is what life might've been like for Mac if he became legal guardian to his teenage niece, Rebecca Ellen (Becky) Grahme, after she loses her parents and older brother in a car accident. No matter what the challenges and adventures are, good or bad, as family Mac and Becky face them together.

Summary
Once upon a time, Tanista started writing an AU for classic MacGyver, Domestic Adventures. In which there's more women and Mac looks after his niece Becky, while keeping up with his secret agent globe-trotting; it's a nice cheerful affair.
Once upon another time, yours truly had the idea of writing a dark, angst-ridden, poverty-stricken coffee shop AU (for larks, to see if it could be done). One which retained Becky, but kept MacGyver trapped in his hometown with no way out...
Mission City, Minnesota. Three-way love triangles, a lot of careful minutiae about show continuity. And a rather good bit with a chicken.

Summary
“And I’m pretty sure I wasn’t imagining being scooped up in gently benevolent tentacles.”
The problem with Rodney McKay - one of the many, many problems with Rodney McKay, John amended to himself - was that he had this habit of saying the most absurd things, with the most unbalancing earnestness.
Far too much, in fact, of John’s mental bandwidth these days was taken up with staunchly pretending that he wasn’t always internally wobbling about, like a drunken wildebeest, in Rodney’s presence. There were too many emotions involved: exasperation, bafflement, anger, fondness, annoyance, a helpless endearment and many more, some of which were brand new and seemed to have spontaneously evolved for Rodney, specifically.
The very worst thing about living in this strenuously suppressed maelstrom was that he had a feeling he was getting addicted to it.

Mess, explosions, fridge experiments and the curious case of Sherlock's heart. It's going to need a very special person to take on Baker Street; it's going to take someone new.
Sherlolly.

Summary
He had been so alone for so long, and then, in that complete, glorious year, after Sherrinford, after Eurus, he had been with Molly. Molly Hooper. So much time had been wasted, but then nothing had mattered because they had eventually collided at the same time, in the same place, with the same heart. It was miraculous, like the sun coming out on a frozen winter morning and lighting up the world. They seemed to step effortlessly from a realisation of love, to her moving into Baker Street into his bed, his kitchen, his (apparently) appalling habits, and absorbed into every molecule of his world.
But nothing stays the same and nothing should be taken for granted.Bookmarked by Tanista
