Summary
In the canon of the classic series, MacGyver was an only child and, apart from his grandfather Harry, had no living members of his family left. But what if there was an older sister, one that had moved away from Minnesota to attend college in the West, got married, and had two kids? This is what life might've been like for Mac if he became legal guardian to his teenage niece, Rebecca Ellen (Becky) Grahme, after she loses her parents and older brother in a car accident. No matter what the challenges and adventures are, good or bad, as family Mac and Becky face them together.

Summary
Once upon a time, Tanista started writing an AU for classic MacGyver, Domestic Adventures. In which there's more women and Mac looks after his niece Becky, while keeping up with his secret agent globe-trotting; it's a nice cheerful affair.
Once upon another time, yours truly had the idea of writing a dark, angst-ridden, poverty-stricken coffee shop AU (for larks, to see if it could be done). One which retained Becky, but kept MacGyver trapped in his hometown with no way out...
Mission City, Minnesota. Three-way love triangles, a lot of careful minutiae about show continuity. And a rather good bit with a chicken.

Summary
He had been so alone for so long, and then, in that complete, glorious year, after Sherrinford, after Eurus, he had been with Molly. Molly Hooper. So much time had been wasted, but then nothing had mattered because they had eventually collided at the same time, in the same place, with the same heart. It was miraculous, like the sun coming out on a frozen winter morning and lighting up the world. They seemed to step effortlessly from a realisation of love, to her moving into Baker Street into his bed, his kitchen, his (apparently) appalling habits, and absorbed into every molecule of his world.
But nothing stays the same and nothing should be taken for granted.Bookmarked by Tanista
