Distraction by dferveiro (PG-13)
Fandom: CSI: CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION
Pairing: None - gen, Nick Stokes centric
Author on LJ: not known
Author Website: none
Why this must be read:
To continue with the angst theme, I bring you this gen fic by dferveiro. Set post-Stalker, this is an interesting twist on what could have happened if Nigel Crane had reached Nick before Warrick, and is therefore firmly in AU 'what if' territory. However, it's a great piece of solidly constructed hurt comfort; tightly plotted, with consistent characterisation and Nickcentric.
Given that, there's Nick hurt comfort galore, but it's never gratuitous or exceeds the stated rating, and most importantly Nick is never reduced to just a victim; he's a survivor, just as he is on the show. All of the characters are treated even handedly, and even Nigel comes out as being slightly sympathetic. The case holds together nicely, with some interesting twists even if some of them can be anticipated if you're reading closely, and overall it's a very satisfying read.
