Stealing Signs by Eolivet (PG)

Fandom: CSI
Pairing: Grissom/Sara
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] eolivet
Author Website: No website, but here is all of her fic archived on grissomandsara.com.
Why this must be read:

I should take a minute to introduce myself - I'll be doing recs for January for CSI. I'm almost exclusively a Grissom/Sara shipper, so I'm most familiar with that fanfic, but I'll try to search out other recs for you. If you have any favorites from other pairings, just let me know.

And now on to the rec.

The author summarizes this fic as "Grissom and Sara and 'a beautiful game,'" a reference to a season 2 episode (Primum Non Nocere) in which Grissom refers to baseball as a beautiful game. The entire episode is something of a Holy Grail for Grissom/Sara shippers, but you don't need to see it to get this fic. (though here's a transcript if you're interested)

This fic has a quiet beauty, and manages brilliantly to capture Grissom and Sara's voices and interactions. It's Grissom as mentor and Sara as pupil, but still as equals, and you get the sense that on another level, it's Sara as mentor and Grissom as pupil.

It's also a personal favorite, and a fic I've found myself reading again and again - and I don't even *like* baseball, so that ought to tell you something.

Enjoy!
