Title: A Friend in Need

Author: Suzie_Shooter

Canon: Rush

Pairing: James Hunt/Niki Lauda

Rating: Explicit [NC-17]

Word Count: 14,278

Summary: When Niki is publicly outed in a kiss-and-tell James comes to his rescue, but finds himself surprisingly intrigued by this unsuspected side to his friend. When Niki is injured in a horrific crash shortly afterwards, James has to face the fact he may have feelings for him - but being James he can’t just tell him so, and Niki is apparently incapable of taking a hint.

Recommendation: OMG, this was so good! I love James being all protective and accepting and just such a good bro. My heart broke for Niki because even though this isn't how it was for him really I'm sure it was for so many others at that time. Good stuff.
