Fandom: CSI

Author Website: Dare to be Naive
Why this must be read: This was the first really long CSI fanfic I read, and it's stuck with me.
Bed of Roses is an alternate universe taking place after season two. At the beginning of the fic, Sara and Grissom have been involved and broken up; Sara has returned to Boston. The two are, against the apparent wishes of both, forced into each other's presence again by forensics conference. The conference isn't the only thing going on - Sara is working through it and is faced with a particularly harrying case file and a co-worker who has a stick up his bum with a stick up its bum, in addition to Grissom showing up at a number of inopportune moments.
They whys and wherefores of their history is explored through a number of flashbacks; Kerlin takes a literary device I usually consider trite and cheap and makes it artful.
The plot is tight, the OCs likeable and well-rounded, the case file intricate and the pace quick. One feels the characters' exhaustion. It really is wonderful.
