Ah Remington Steele, you are so awesome that the worst fic you could get was borderline plagiarism..

No, seriously.  Over half the fics at fanfiction.net are...things that were actual episodes.  Sometimes a couple episodes mushed together.  And a few movies.  But mostly stuff we saw plenty of in the series.  Upside was no slash, mispairings, or obvious Mary Sues.

*Insert disclaimers from other entries*

Because we didn't get it at least once a season...

Title: In the Steele Morning Air 
Synopsis: Laura and Remington find themselves targets of an unknown organization. Have they finally run out of luck? Chapter 2 just added!

Are they dead people?

Title: Steele Stranger than Fiction 
Synopsis: One day, Steele hears voices that no one else can hear.

*waves to awesome eps in seasons 3 and 4*

Title: You're Steele The One For Me 
Synopsis: Remington leaves the agency to try and find out more about his past. Laura soon discovers that he was last seen in Ireland, but is now believed to be dead after a brutal saloon brawl.

No it doesn't.  His past came up 50 thousand times.  They're too busy making little con artists and detectives to bother with that now:

Title: Steele Threats 
Synopsis: Laura and Steele have been married for almost two years when someting from his past threatens to end their marriage

Gee, I dunno, her mother, sister, bother-in-law(and their little ones) all seem to like him and assume he's part of the family as it is...and frankly, seeing as he's already spent about 5 years taking care of her in one way or the other, I don't think the lie is going to be a huge thing, at least, not enough to supercede the fact that SHE'S also known he wasn't who he claimed to be the whole time...  Her father doesn't exactly count, what with no one hearing from him in about 20 years...

Title: Guess Who, Steele 
Synopsis: A month after Ireland. Steele is going to take a trip to meet Laura's family. Will this american family love an Irish bloke? Or will they hate him enough for Laura to leave him?

Hopefully to get an Irish foot to the butt and very decisive nods from Holt females before the door was slammed.  *but no, angsting and such*

Title: Steele Missing You 
Synopsis: Laura's father comes back to town.

I have no words.  You know, what with the subject never even really coming up in the series(though they were clearly off to do babymaking and nothing was stopping that man at the end)

Title: Steele Thinking 
Synopsis: Remington is having second thoughts on whether he wants Laura to have his baby.

Because A)  He'd ever be able to stay away that long and B) She'd let him(end of s3/beginning of s4 is the ultimate Steele shippiness because it proves this fic could NEVER happen)

Title: Forever Steele 
Synopsis:Ten years after disappearing, Steele returns to Los Angeles Set in 1997.

Besides his learning the truth about his past, the baddies being dealt with, and  their being together and happy and off to make little con artists and detectives?

Title: Consummate Steele 
Symopsis:What should have happened at Ashford Castle at the end of the series.

Because it never does?  And she pretty much always right about it?

Title: Bonded Steele 
Synopsis: Remington's little venture with a press agent doesn't meet with Laura's approval — to say the least!


Season 5 happened.  You know, with it opening right after and all...

Title: Steele Bonding 
Synopsis: What happens after Remington and Laura's 'wedding' on the fishing trawler.


Favorite TV show ever, one of my favorite movies, scared to look.

Title: Steele on the Nile 
Synopsis: ~**CHAPTER 9 POSTED**~ Not yet over!! Based on Jewel of the Nile, Laura and Steele find themselves in the middle of nowhere with a tribe that may wish them harm... Please R/R!

Ok, really, how many people from his past does fanfic need, anyway?  I mean, there was plenty of that(resulting in some of my favorite episodes--I mean, FELICIA!!!! CHALMERS!!!!) in the series, but come on!  And Laura's already dealt with several women from his past quite well...a new one REALLY isn't going to bother her.  Especially after the end of the series.

And it's the mildest of the fandoms I've looked at.

*not brave enough to REALLY go at the Wolf's Rain ones yet*
