At the Hour of Death by Caroline Crane (NC-17)

Fandom: CSI: Crime Scene Investigation
Pairing: Nick/Greg
Author on LJ: carolinecrane
Author Website: Desiderium Caritas
Why this must be read:

Thought I'd throw in a multi-chapter one this month, and this one automatically came to mind, not only because Caroline's fics are pretty much starting from the beginning of this pairing, but because they are simply some of the best.

This is another one of those 'casefile-then-they-fall-for-each-other' fics, but yet it's not, because how Nick finds out about everything Greg's into (and what's he not) and how he handles it is very in-character. There's humor, and it's just as dark (and shouldn't be as funny) as it is on the real show.

"You know the vic."

Greg nodded and tilted his head a little as though he was trying to picture the body from another angle. "I haven't seen him in a long time, but I'm pretty sure that's Aaron."

"You can't even see his face," Nick said, frowning down at the body for a second before he looked up at Greg again. Some of the color was back in Greg's cheeks now, and if Nick didn't know better he'd almost think Greg was blushing. "What?"

"It's just…I've seen him from this angle. It's not like we did a lot of talking when we were together."

It took Nick a second to realize what Greg was saying, and when he did he felt his own cheeks flush bright red.

I know this is a really old post, but just a heads up -- that link isn't functional anymore. I don't know if the author took it off the site or what, but a search didn't turn the story up on WMTDB either.

Here's where it is on her personal site, though. (http://desiderium.slashcity.net/hourofdeath1.html) :)

By the way, I've been going through the archives and I'm really enjoying your recs! Thanks for all the reccing you did. :D

Thanks for heads up :D I'll edit the post to include the link to her personal site.

I'm glad you enjoyed all the recs! I sure miss this fandom. Good times.

Rather, I would edit it, if I could.
