Title: Je Mourrais
Author: kavek
Fandom: Halo
Rating: T
Characters/Pairings: Cortana, John-117

Why it's awesome: Small disclaimer: I am only recing the first three chapters of this fic. It's a WIP, but the three chapters work as a standalone.  The author is awesome in his descriptions plus he strikes a perfect balance between John and Cortana. 

Favorite Line: 

Out of ammo, out of ideas, out of options.

A mistake. He'd made a mistake.

The Master Chief was the tactical, thinking warrior who destroyed Halos, liberated planets, slaughtered thousands of Covenant on their own battlefields. He was not reckless – daring, yes, but not reckless. Yet he'd just committed a huge tactical error, a faux pas that would have had Officer Mendez stomping him into a mud hole if he could have seen it.
