This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

A bit of a grab bag, I think. I'm sorting through my favorite fics, trying to decide which are actually worth recommending and which are simply guilty pleasures or comfort food. There's a bit of a skew towards Grissom/Nick, but I think that's more because of the quality of available fics rather than any particular preference for that pairing. Greg/Nick and Grissom/Sara tend to attract writers of fangirlish, schmoopy fic for some reason (either that or h/c fic of the sort that appears to use the articles of the Geneva convention as a checklist of 'things to include in my story') so it's a pain to separate the wheat from the chaff.

I'm really hoping that this one author (Wintertime) finishes a fic she's working on ("All Fall Down") before the end of the month, since it could very well be to CSI fandom what "The End of the Road" is to dS fandom.

There's also lovely little crossover fic that has me rubbing my hands with an evil sort of glee. I'm tempted to rec it without warnings or listing the other fandom simply because the HSQ factor is just. that. good.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Grissom/Nick? Huh. I wouldn't have guessed.

Who does Warrick get paired with mostly?

Nor I. Still, there are some really good fics out there that sold me on the pairing.

Catherine or Nick, from what little I've seen.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Grissom/Nick? Huh. I wouldn't have guessed.

From what I've seen, that and Nick/Greg are the major slash pairings.

Nick/Greg is obvious, but I'd have thought Warrick/Greg next -- Warrick is kinda all purpose sexy, and Grissom screams het to me.

Huh. That seems to hold no appeal for me.

Whoops. Sorry. Warrick/Nicky. Curse my slippy fingers.

Oddly enough, Warrick is the kind of sexy I can drool over while watching the show, yet find absolutely uninteresting when it comes to fic. I have no idea why.

And there's the appeal.

Nicky can be paired with pretty much anyone and have it work.
