Why this must be read:
There's a certain appeal to Catherine and Nick together. She's the one who's seen everything, who has a familiarity with the undersides of Vegas that the show never fails to exploit. She's an ex-stripper, a recovering cocaine addict, and an incredibly strong and smart woman whose personal motto is to never look back and never regret.
If CSI needs someone to play dumb, they trot out Nick. He's the good ole boy, the Southern gentleman who really believes in justice. When a liaison with a hooker threatened to end his career, he still insisted on paying for her funeral because she didn't have anyone else and he had cared about her.
This is a gorgeously written fic that shows Catherine reflecting on these differences, comparing her life now with her life then through the lens of the men in her life, then and now.
Plus, it's really hot. There is really not enough good CSI smut.
Read, and enjoy, and feed the author. :)
