Recced because:  Just because I don't ship any our fab four doesn't mean that I don't get in the occassional mood to read any ship fic.  I stumbled on this piece during our Author Appreciation Week back in August (?) and I'm shocked that it hasn't been formally recommended yet.  The imagery is gorgeous, the growing of friendship into love is not over-the-top, and the author even brought back a piece of canon that is sometimes missed, the robo-rents losing their memory.  The bottom line is: go read now.

Irritation scratches at him, pesky and burrowing. DG’s disappearance has rocked a world just barely beginning to heal. And while he’s not exactly privy to the ongoings of the royal family, he was a father – is a father - and he knows deeply the hot fear of a missing child. He hadn’t waited for a request that may or may not have been coming.
