meridian_roseA Massage for the Medium (3022 words) by meridian_rose
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Midnight Texas (TV)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Midnighters Family, Manfred Bernardo & Patience Lucero
Characters: Manfred Bernardo, Patience Lucero, Olivia Charity
Additional Tags: Season/Series 02, Massage, Comfort, Belly Rubs, past Manfred/Creek, but not positive about the relationship, Manfred loves everyone in Midnight, Realisations, Healing, Emotions, Acceptance, Fix-It of Sorts, Spa Treatments, navel/belly button, Sensuality
Summary: Post S2e01 (but not canon for e2). Patience Lucero offers Manfred a massage at the spa to detoxify his body and process all the trauma he's been through. Even the always sceptical Olivia thinks the chance of relaxation would be beneficial. Manfred finds himself soothed by Patience's touch and comes to some realisations and acceptance of truths he's tried to avoid.
Author notes: I've not seen s2e2 yet so the fic won't be canon compliant after s2e1. Manfred didn't even get a hug after the healing/exorcism in e1 and I wanted to give him some comfort and to touch upon what the fandom seems to get more than the show writers given the prevalence of the tag; that it's the Midnighters as family that's important. I've drawn upon actual spa treatment/massage techniques, thrown in some of the mysticism associated with certain treatments, but have obviously taken liberties with the experience.
