Why this must be read:

I'm going to start my recs with a good solid team fic. There are some underlying relationships in this story, but at its heart it's about the team working together, doing what they do best.

doylefan22 is one of the better known Claudia/Nick writers, but most of her stories, while having this relationship at heart, are much broader than just focusing on this particular pairing.

I've chosen to recommend this particular story because it's a well written and satisfying 'anomaly' fic, where the relationships, while important to the story, take a backseat to dealing with the fallout from an anomaly. There are creatures galore and the anomaly itself is interesting and believable, with some lovely touches that flesh out the world that these creatures come from. The characters are in character, with relationships and dialogue that feel in tune with canon, and the plot wraps up well and flows organically from the way that the characters interact with each other and the public.

And it's a lovely, long, satisfying read.
