Fandom: CSI
Pairing: Nick/Greg
Length: 4549 words
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: aebhel
Why This Must Be Read: Longing!Greg is pretty standard for this fandom, about as standard as oblivious!Nick (in all his variations). But you know, these things are popular because some people write them really well.

This story is set after the early season episode "Overload" in which we're given the first real hint of Nicky manpain (and if you want, another good reason for why he's so private and repressed/closeted/oblivious). Nick is getting wasted in the seediest, scary redneck bar in Vegas and Greg is sent by Catherine to get him. Somehow they end up back at Greg's, on his kitchen floor, getting drunk (and getting closer).

For something with a dark background, the story itself is warm and sort of sparkly (kind of like a drink of whiskey, as a matter of fact. Dangerous and scary and burning at first and then you're just hot and smiling and sleepy. And smiling. Did I say smiling? Perhaps I'm not that focused yet).

Also, there's smut. The kind of hot, hot, HOT, yet touching and funny smut that can only mean Nick and Greg. (aw)

I humbly offer a teeny tiny excerpt:

"You always this impatient?"

"Wouldn't you like to know?" Greg said without thinking. When Nick glanced up at him, moonlight from the window above the sink reflecting in his eyes, his smile was almost shy.

"Yeah, actually. Yeah, I would."

This is an absolutely gorgeous fic, and I thank you for showing it to me, but I can't seem to find a way to review. I think maybe you have to be a member of the site, and I don't see the point in signing up just to review one fic. I don't suppose you'd care to pass along my praise? *puppy eyes*

You know, that site has just moved (that is the new location) but everything is still in beta. Maybe anonymous reviews aren't allowed for the moment.?? (The old site and links are still up, and you could review there, but I don't think the reviews will be moved with the stories.) In any event, I can certainly try to pass along your praise. :)

Nevermind, I just realised you gave her ffn account too. Oops. Unless she's disabled anonymous reviews, I should be able to do it there. Thanks anyway :)

You are the best kind of reader. :)
