Scenes from the Sea (Dory-Marlin-Nemo | G | 1,501 words): Dory, Marlin, and Nemo forming a family after the first movie. This is very cute and a lovely look at these three after the movie.

Excerpt:
"Marlin? That's a--" A swarm of memories flashed through her mind: befriending sharks, a sole light in the cold dark, racing through jellies, riding the current, nearly being eaten by a whale, nearly being eaten by seagulls. Returning Nemo to his father. Accompanying them both to their home. To her home. "Marlin! You're back! I remember now."

"Then maybe you can tell me what you're doing so far from home." Now that she remembered him, Dory could tell he'd been worried about her. Marlin did tend to get angry when he was worried. He didn't like not being in control of everything very much.

"I didn't mean to," Dory explained as they swam back toward--she hoped--a familiar part of the reef. "It's just you'd been gone so long, and you know how bad my memory gets when you're not around."

Marlin sighed, and she could see in the set of his fins that he was no longer mad at her. "You've been doing so much better, even when you go to visit Bruce.... I thought you'd be all right for a few days."

Dory shrugged, unconcerned; remembering more than a minute or two at a time was still something of a novelty to her. As far as she could remember, anyway. "I guess it still wears off, it just takes longer."

Finding Nemo: What It Feels Like by Cimorene

What It Feels Like (Nemo/Gill | NC17 | 12,47 words) has NC-17 Finding Nemo slash. But what it's really about is growing up and falling in love, so don't let the fish sex scare you away. It's lengthy, so the build up of Nemo and Gill's relationship is natural, complex and simple at the same time with some universal truths weaved into the story. Which is how I like my relationship stories to be told. And Dory's just fantastic. (Plus I like the fish. Fish!)

Excerpt:
"Anyone is always more afraid on their own. You weren't happy that the Dentist took you out of the ocean and put you in the tank. But you were happier when you met all of us. Because you weren't alone. That's how your dad made friends with Dory on his way to look for you. Let me ask you something. If a shark swam up to this cave when you were in it all alone, no one else around the drop-off, would you be afraid?"

"Yeah!"

"How would you feel if a shark swam up right now, while you and me were both trapped in the cave?"

Nemo shivered. "What if it ate us both?"

Gill was impatient. "We're not gonna get eaten. A shark's nose can't fit in a little hole like this. That doesn't mean we're happy to see a shark. But wouldn't you feel better if you saw it when you had someone else with you?"

Nemo thought about it. He thought about it hard. But he had to admit that Gill was right. He would never want to hide, or to run away, or to do anything, really, by himself. "I'd be glad you were here," he said finally. Gill's was the first name he would call, Gill the first fish he would want to see.

Now Gill sighed. "So do you understand," Gill said, "when I say that your dad wasn't scared because your mom got eaten? He was scared because she was gone."
