Pairing: Ummm, none really although, well... you'll see there could be one there in regards to The Great A’Tuin... *grin/shudder*

Why this must be read: Ummm, okay, this is just... well, it's hard to describe. This is a well written fic that does a good job capturing the spirit of the characters from both worlds. It is a bit cracked and not for the faint of heart I think, but if you are looking for something really off the wall, this one's for you.

Why this must be read:

Because it's Gil Grissom and Ezra Standish in the same fanfic. Because it's a fairly unique way of combining two fandoms. Because it's as much an investigation story as it is a character piece. And because it's Buck and Ezra trying to feel their way around each other while they work a cold case.

Women are being murdered in Vegas, and the CSI team thinks there may be a connection to a woman who was murdered more than fifteen years ago: a showgirl named Cindy Wilmington. When her son, federal agent Buck Wilmington discovers that there may be a lead, finally, in his mother's murder, he goes straight to Vegas. Ezra sees something he probably shouldn't have and, more to his surprise than anyone else's, decides to go with Buck and keep him out of trouble.

Sammy Girl writes a mean fanfic. Long, plotty, character-driven and worth every minute it'll take you to read. If you haven't the time to dig in tonight, bookmark it for tomorrow. You'll be glad you did.

This fic is primarily a Mag 7 fic. I had never even heard of CSI when I first read it and had no trouble following it, so lack of familiarity with the characters shouldn't interfere with your enjoyment.

ETA: And I just realized that it was an hour into Nov. 16th when I posted this, but since it's still the 15th somewhere out there, hopefully I won't get smacked around too much.

Why this must be read:

I have quibbles with the opening lines, but then the story hits its stride and the tone sets to this stark driven dreaming blur. I think the clinical tone of the opening is what makes the warmth of the ending balance - there's no sweetness here, but there's warmth and affection and unspoken acceptance.

There's a lot of silences in this story and the events in it - Sam dreams of fucking Dean and one night he does, silently. They don't talk about it. They don't touch until Dean ties up Sam and climbs on top of him. Things are poised to go completely off the rails until suddenly, they align and it works. There are no conversations, no declarations of love or even particular like. But the depth of their want and the way they draw to each other comes through hard in this bare and physical story.

Why this must be read: Set mid-season two-ish, Six's descriptions of the people Gaius talks to are brilliant and insightful, making for a powerful ficlet.

Why this fic must be read:

Vin has never seen a circus before, so when he and Ezra wrap up testifying against a trio of bank robbers, they decide to detour on their way back to Four Corners to see the circus and have a good time.

That was before the train wreck. And the robbers. And the elephant.
