Numb3rs Fanfic Finders

Gen Don whump on FFN? You've come to the right place!

*rolls up sleeves*

Here we go:
A little disclaimer. I'm sure that I'm forgetting many excellent fics that deserve to be posted here and for which I'll bang my head against the desk later for forgetting!

As for fics, the following authors are mainly Don authors (I can't decide which of the first 3 is my favorite, so they're listed alphabetically!), I've highlighted some of the best (in my opinion) fics, but most of their others are definitely worth it too!

First, there's ALEO (http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1253959/ALEO) who has one piece of fan fic on LJ. My favorite is Vigilante Terrorist (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3628056/1/Vigilante_Terrorist) (which is part of a series which starts with Failure (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3513915/1/Failure), then the above, before it ends with Disarmed (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3859774/1/Disarmed)). Poor Donny goes through the wringer here, especially emotionally, as he is forced to work for a bad guy to save innocents
Then are are Caffeine (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3775566/1/Caffeine) (has sequel Aftermath (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3785271/1/Aftermath)), Phobia (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4177820/1/Phobia) and Speared (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4436743/1/Speared) (prequel A Nice Day Out (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3672936/1/A_Nice_Day_Out)) to mention a few. They range from short to long and from emotional to physical angst.

Next is Lisa Paris (http://www.fanfiction.net/u/611295/Lisa_Paris). The best are Benedictus (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4170021/1/Benedictus) where Don, during his darkest period, is trapped in the rubble of a building after it's been bombed with a baby. Set the Fire (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3731066/1/Set_the_Fire) takes place after Don comes back from an undercover operation, the problem? He's the material witness and the bad guy doesn't like the fact one of men (whom he liked) was Fed, so he decides he needs to be eliminated. Z is for Zyklon B (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4015019/1/Z_is_for_Zyklon_B) has done visiting Mrs. Hellman (Provenance) only to learn she's being bothered by neo-Nazis... who happen to come by just then.

Then there's Zubeneschamali (http://www.fanfiction.net/u/220570/Zubeneschamali). The best ones from here are The Fugitive (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3723901/1/The_Fugitive), Time to Kill (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3891516/1/Time_to_Kill) & Reverberations (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4350328/1/Reverberations). In the first, Don is convicted of killing Liz but the prison bus crashes and he escapes, determined to find the real killer. Yes, based on the movie, but NOT a crossover. The second is about the episode In Security and about what might have happened if Benny Natale had decided to take revenge on Don as well as Leah. The third is about a serial killer Don has been hunting since he was a rookie... who has now come to LA in search of Don. Just one warning, some of her earlier fics aren't finished.

3rdgal (http://www.fanfiction.net/u/848798/3rdgal) is also a good bet, even if not all of her fics are Donny centered. My favorites are Flowers for a Friend (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3327539/1/Flowers_for_a_Friend) & Flowers for a Funeral (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3381168/1/Flowers_for_a_Funeral), the second is a sequel to the first. In the first Don watches a friend get killed during an op and is determined to catch the perp. But, well, vengeance is a vicious cycle! Unless I'm mistaken (it's been a while) Ties That Bind (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3241155/1/Ties_That_Bind) is also full of Donny angst and torture with poor Charlie and Alan forced to watch.
