* ''Status'': Complete
* ''Synopsis'': University AU where Root and Shaw have been forced to work together to plan and run their school's engineering competition.\\
\\
In no particular order, there will be: "oops I accidentally fell in love with you" Root, an excruciatingly slow build, jealous Shaw, jealous Root, donut thievery, eventual smut, backstories, nerdiness, things moving right along to the complex plane after the midpoint, and most importantly: cheesy science jokes! bad puns and corny jokes!
* ''Comments'': A solid Shoot fic. As the synopsis might indicate, this is not a particularly serious fic, and instead of tackling the show's heavier themes, it mostly takes the more amusing aspects of the show (Fusco being a butt monkey, Root being a troll, etc.) and runs with them. The author gets Shaw's and Root's voices perfect, and the back and forth is very entertaining and occasionally touching.

* ''Comments'': Of all the Person of Interest fanfics I've read, only a honored few would I consider as candidates for being my own personal Season 6. Not only is this fic one of them - it's ''the'' very one which made me go: "That's it, this is now my headcanon!". It has all the right ingredients of a proper [=PoI=] season:
** a new plot arc that also ties up some loose ends
** character development of established characters, as well as the introduction of a promising new character to the team
** side plots relating to the 'numbers'
** a good balance of drama and humor, darkness and fluff, action and intrigue.

* ''Comments'': Reese. Carter. Fusco. Finch watches over them all (especially Reese), even when they're sleeping. It is his own strange way of caring - and he knows how to help discreetly should there be need for it. This is a small and subtle story about heartwarming surveillance and odd friendships.

* ''Comments'': At first I wasn't sure that this is the right fic for me. However, I gave it a chance, and boy am I glad I did! Starting with Root's recovery from what happened in 5x10, we follow the growth of her relationship with Shaw. Various subjects are touched on, including their inner lives and motivations, and I think the author did it quite well. Jump aboard, and you might come in time to see some new and interesting people join the team...

Now, on to why. The story focuses on the relationship between Shaw and Root - how it began and how it develops. It's a gradual and realistic process - one not without its problems. Shaw ''is'' basically a sociopath, with all the issues that implies. What I especially liked is that Root fully understands this, and her expectations are appropriately limited: Root doesn't think Shaw will ever be able to meaningfully reciprocate her feelings. Underneath all her innuendo and pushiness, Root actually doesn't feel much hope. However, just like Root, Shaw is a complicated person... and that's all I'll say on the subject.\\
