Those Who Wish Us Well by Evan Nicholas (NC-17)

Fandom: CSI: LV
Pairing: Greg/Gil
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] evan_nicholas
Author's website: None, but his fics are hosted on CSI Forensics

Why this must be read: For my final rec, I'm going back to my favourite pairing, Gil/Greg. This story is set after Greg and Nick break up rather messily and Grissom decides to come in and pick up the pieces of Greg. It happens without him even realizing what's going on, but it turns out he's good at it. Of course they end up dating each other without even realizing it, but in the end, it all works out well.

This story is long, fun, full of snappy dialogue and features a very nice happy ending. I thought it was a great one to end my rec'ing spree. I love it everytime I read it.




"Is this a bad time?" Gil asks when he has a free moment to drop in and visit.

Greg looks up and grins at him, turns the volume way down and shakes his head. "No such thing as a bad time in Greg-land," he says.

Gil raises his eyebrows. "Greg-land?" he asks.

"Yeah, didn't the border guard ask you for ID?"

Gil looks over his shoulder at where Greg is looking, finds himself on the receiving end of one of Jacqui's 'just humour him' looks, and turns back with a smile. "I bribed my way in," he says.

"Ooh - contraband. Whatchagot?"

"Well..." Gil digs into his pockets. "I have... a parking ticket from the middle of nowhere, I have a scrap of paper with three numbers on it that mean nothing to me - no, wait, better not get rid of that, they might come back to me. And... half a pack of gum."

"Sold on the last one," Greg says, and actually holds his hand out.

Gil grins and tosses the gum at him. "You cleaned me out," he says.

"I'll have a word with my border guard," Greg assures him and squirrels the gum away somewhere. "Make sure she doesn't take all the good stuff next time."

"Border guards are uppity," Gil says, and there's a sudden shift in perspective and he realizes what this must look like to someone else. Gil Grissom having a nonsense conversation with Greg Sanders for no reason whatsoever.

"Tell me about it," Greg continues. "She wants to unionize."

"With whom?"

Greg points at him. "Good question," he says. "You want to head up Greg-land's Department of Homeland Security?"

"In exchange for...?"

Greg thinks. "Fifty percent of the spoils of war?"

Gil shrugs. "Sounds fair," he says.

The pack of gum reappears and Greg pulls half of the sticks out, and tosses the rest of the pack back to Gil. "It's retroactive," he explains. "So get cracking on the border guard scandal, Chief, and I'll see what other spoils of war I can scare up."

Oi greatness! Finally someone's reccing this story. One of my all time favourites and first Gil/Greg fic I read that made me fall for the pairing immediately. Hilarious, sweet, heart-warming story, that one! :o)

Another great little ficlet by the same author: Roadside Attraction (http://www.geocities.com/gregslash/evannicholas-roadsideattraction.html).
