Why this must be read:

The reason I chose this fic to rec is because it's a prime example of the kind of thing CSI slash writers in particular like to do to Nick. He's easily the most solid, well-adjusted character on the show (well, next to Greg, probably), and therefore he's the one most often chosen to be raked over the emotional coals. Slash writers just love to watch him self-destruct in all the most dramatic ways possible, and this, while one of those high angst fics, happens to be well-written. It's also very indicative of CSI slash, and therefore worth a read.

Warnings: Rapefic. The author doesn't list ratings on her web site, so I stuck a rating on there just as a guideline.

The thing that troubles me most about Gil/Nick is the very parental relationship they have in canon. Gil spends a lot of time chastizing Nick the way a parent would scold a child, and Nick reacts to Gil the way a kid would react to a parent. So yeah, I find that a little squicky.

So I tried to rec the best of the Gil/Nick according to the consensus rather than my own opinions, since I just don't see it. And Emily really is a good writer.

and you're doing a good job with the recs

Thank you. I still cringe over the Gil/Sara, but it had to be done.

With you on that one... Ick...And I agree about the Nick/Gil squick. Gil is very paternal towards Nick, and Gil is really the King of Asexual creatures... Except when he was confused by the serial killer who was a woman posing as a man... Loved that.
