Driftwood by Wintertime (PG-13)

Fandom: CSI
Pairing: none, Greg/Grissom friendship
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: Follow the Shoe
Why this must be read: Wintertime's been recced here before, but I have to put in my two cents on her Greg. She writes season three Greg like nobody else, and though that particular "quirky lab tech" era has passed on the show it's still fun to look back on old times. The story is told from Grissom's perspective in a dreamy style; Greg shows up at his door looking beat up and asking to stay the night. Wintertime takes this (perhaps overdone) concept and writes a wonderful, touching story. Greg is so heartbreakingly evasive here, and the relationship he has with Grissom flows so easily from their interactions on the show. If you're going to read whumped!Greg, this is the right way to do it.

I get one question a day.

We spend the rest of the afternoon watching movies, and you camp out on the sofa munching cheddar popcorn and complimenting the special effects. We keep odd hours because you still sleep like you’re going to go on the night shift, but most places in Vegas are open twenty-four hours, so we don’t have any problems.

Another day, I ask, Is it what I think it is?

It’s the most vague question ever, and you give me a skeptical look. Clearly, you agree.

"Driftwood" is actually a sequel to "Blood in the Water" (though the link from her page doesn't word and her ffn profile is gone) but I actually like it better read alone. I love it.

Oops. Never mind, it's a different fic that's a sequel to "Blood...." Sorry about that.
