Why this must be read:
I've seen Greg written as a dweeb, a nerd, a surferdude, a flaming queen, an Ultimate High Maintenance boyfriend, and an overgrown 12-year-old; but rarely have I seen him written as simply a real person. In this piece, not only is he real, and fully Greg, he's also vulnerable and sweet in just the right amount to rip your heart out, without also serving it back to you dripping with too much honey. And Sara is, well, Sara. With a cigarette. Exactly so.
helsinkibaby writes more Warrick/Sara than other CSIfic, but don't let that prevent you from checking out the rest of her stuff; bluntly, it's good.
Not Alone
Oh, and the ubiquitous intro:
katuah here, I'll be driving the CSI
crack_van this month. And that means even I don't know for sure what I'll rec yet, although it would be safe to say, variety will be, um, in evidence. (heh.) I plan to highlight some rarer CSI fic types & pairings, too. So buckle up and hang on!
