Last Updated 11.04.05
Nicky/Greg (expect more recs in the coming days as I slowly put this whole thing together)
*NEW* Exposed by Catlover2x--Read my review at the crack_van.
*NEW* Conspire by Kalimyre--Read my review at the crack_van.
*NEW* Stop Whispering by Geekwriter143--Read my review at the crack_van.
*NEW* Three Steps Away by Fabella--Read my review at the crack_van.
*NEW* Don't Want a Lover and Lover, Won't You Stay by esse--Fun stories featuring a jazz club, jealous!Nick and smoking!Greg. You'll like these two.
*NEW* Seven Miles from the Sun by esse--pre-Nick/Greg. Nick tries to keep his private life to himself, but Greg sees more than Nick expects.
*NEW* Inventing Games out of Everything by shrift--I don't know how I missed this one. The best possible outcome to playing Name that Chemical Compound, with a cameo by Sara. I love pining!Greggo. He's my favorite.
*NEW* Lat Rat Field Mouse by Demon Faith--First of all, what a great title. It's h/c with Greg feeling horrible after his less than stellar first attempt in the field during Chasing the Bus. I've never seen people tackle that scene and its aftermath before.
*NEW* Scaffold by Demon Faith--Greg's falling apart in the lab after Playing With Fire.
*NEW* They're Coming by Demon Faith--Short, dark and sad, but with a happy ending. More of a Greg gen piece, but Nick's well-represented. I love Greg's complete faith in the Crime Lab.
*NEW* Untitled Dirty!Greg Fic by Jacki--I read this a long time ago and lost it. It's a coda to All For Our Country when Greg digs around in the sewer, finds the cop uniform and breaks the case. He's so proud and it's such a great moment. Here, Greg tries to tell Nick all about it, but Nick's a bit...pre-occupied.
*NEW* Carnal Trepass by Jacki--PWP. Mmm...Greg tries to surprise Nick at Nick's apartment, not really thinking about the implications of this post-Stalker. Oh, silly, horny Greg. Still, the hot sex ensues after Nick lowers his real gun and takes hold of his other gun, if you know what I mean. Oh man, that was so horrible. I should never by allowed to pun.
*NEW* Behind the Smoke by Michigangirl30--Another smoking!Greg story. There should definitely be more of these in the world. Many, many more. In this story, Nick finds the idea just as hot as I do.
*NEW* Breathing by kissingchaos, Permanent and Xanax by beingothrwrldly--I'm sort of in love with these. Post-GD fics that deal with the every day aspects of Nick getting over his ordeal--taking medication, seeing a therapist, putting his life back in order.
They're kind of sad, but Greg's so strong, and he wants so badly to help Nick any way he can. Nick holds himself together, and you can see him psychologically, emotionally and physically healing as the stories progress. These stories also show the strain that Greg's under trying to deal with the afternath as well.
What We Remember by Caster--A very sweet and sad post-Playing With Fire fic
wherein Greg thinks about his life, and Nick's place in it. There's a very vulnerable Nick that I'm fond of, as well as
a meddling, good-intentioned Warrick.
Four Lessons In Love by Caster--Two Christmases with Greg and Nick, and
how they deal with Nicky's less than understanding parents.
All The Way To Paris by Caroline
Crane--A long, juicy AU dovetailing from the end of season three, and showing what could have
happened if Greg wasn't able to control the tremors in his hands.
Collateral Damage by Caroline
Crane--Nicky's not a violent person, he's actually the most mellow of all the CSIs. However, it seems he's
discovered something with the power to push him over the edge.
Dim Slow Perfect by Caroline
Crane--Mmm...you just know that Nick's had some serious "bend Greg over in the middle of the lab" fantasies, and
in this fic the audience and Greg get to hear all about them.
Lock and Key by Caroline
Crane--For Christmas, Greg gives Nick the key to his apartment, and the whole story spirals from there. Nick's
really pretty slow sometimes.
The Barbie Conspiracy by Caroline
Crane--Greg says everything I've ever thought about Barbies when Nick goes shopping for his niece. A short, sweet piece.
The Great Saint Valentine by Caroline
Crane--Nick misreads the signals regarding Valentine's Day, and ends up going to a lot of trouble that really could have been avoided. Greg
still gives him a proper thank you to make up for it.
The Ritual of Reassurance by Caroline
Crane--Greg needs reassurance that Nick's still alive. Thankfully, that involves having sex while Nick wears his
CSI vest. I love how placating and concerned Nick is in this piece. He's worried about Greg worried about him.
Torchlight on Red Faces by Caroline
Crane--One of the first, and still one of the sexiest stories I've ever read in this fandom. Greg stalks
Nick and a woman in a casino.
Thankful by Cinderlily--Greg's first experience with a Stokes family
holiday. He spends Thanksgiving with Nick and the family, and agonizes over them liking him.
Love Soon and part two by Cinderlily--Angsty two-part fic
about Greg dealing with Nick being in the closet and embarrassed about their relationship. Cute ending though, so never fear.
Post-Its by Cinderlily--For some reason, this fandom has a
serious love for Post-Its, and this this fic showcases that love. Nick courts Greg through his much valued Post-It reminders.
Compromise by Davey--A really cute AU wherein Nick is a CSI, but
Greg is a science teacher. I like Catherine in this fic.
Greg Who Makes Passes at Nick Who Wears Glasses by Davey--Read the title, it pretty much says it all. Who doesn't love
Nick that wears glasses?
Glasses Kink by Davey--Ahhh...the sequel. Shy, embarrassed Nick indulging Greg's (and the audience's) kink.
Strawberry Syrup and Football Games by Davey--As syrupy sweet-but in a good way!-as the title suggests. Just a day lounging around, watching TV and having
hot sex. You know, the usual.
Jacked! by Dr. FooFoo--Greg accidentally wears Nick's...mmm...leather jacket to work. Just the image alone is enough to click the link.
Just Breathe by Dr. FooFoo--Nick has a cold, and Greg offers to catch it, in order to have "hot, sick sex all day long." Short and sweet.
Lover I Don't Have To Love by Dr. FooFoo--Nick sees Greg at a gay club. Cue the hot sex, and slightly angsty ending. Mostly, I'm in it for the
hot sex.
The Kumquats by Dr. FooFoo--My newest favorite story, because it contains Nick/Greg, but also Nick/Greg/Sara friendship. So lovely. Sara takes Nick to a concert.
Hangman Drabble by Dr. FooFoo--Several sexy, funny, adorable drabbles based on single words. I love these, and she's always adding more.
Let it Ride by Geekwriter--One of many fics that explored the conflict that arose in Nick and Greg's fictional relationship after Greg found out
Nick and Warrick placed a bet on how long Chandra would last. I like Nick reassuring Greg, and being so confident that it will all work out. Oh, poor, poor Greggo.
Ornithology by Geekwriter--Nick gives Greg an impromptu Ornithology lesson, because our Nicky loves his birds. I enjoy the way
that the way Nick views himself is so different from the way that the audience views him.
Pixie by Geekwriter--I think that the idea of Greg talking seriously with a little girl is adorable. Here, Nick's little niece is
fascinated by Greg at a family reunion.
Slumber by Geekwriter--Another story where Greg blindly seeks comfort from Nick, and Nick gives it to him, even though he doesn't know what's wrong
or how to help. He just has that much faith in Greg.
Warm Sugar by Geekwriter--a comfy, homey fic. Greg signs them up for a cookie exchange.
When It Gets Back To You by Geekwriter--This is only Nick/Greg implied, but I love love love the interaction between Sara and Greg. Sara
betrays a confidence and deals with the consequences.
The Apology by Girlnorth--Another great fic dealing with the aftermath of Nicky's bet. Greg's much more hostile in this fic, and I have to admit that it's
pretty gratifying. Speaking of gratifying, you should see the way Nick apologizes.
Fixed link!Shattered by Girlnorth--More Greg/Sara friendship, which Girlnorth excels at writing. She loves
these two characters as much, if not more than I do, and it shows with everything that she writes. Greg goes to Sara after a fight with Nick.
Anticipation by Neko--After hours
working together in the lab, Nick and Greg finally, finally get home.
Artificial Colour and the Art of Flavour by Neko--Nick. Sucking on a lollipop.
Lips stained violet. I don't think I have to say anything else.
Neon by Neko--Greg in NYC. I'll just leave you with the summary: "He should have brought a dildo."
Something Like Instinct by Neko--Greg walks in on Nick showering in the locker room, and his brain overloads.
Wouldn't yours?
Band of Gold by StarEyedNight--Greg tells Sara he got married. Short, cute fic. More Sara/Greg friendship.
Inflight Entertainment by StarEyedNight--Nick and Greg join the Mile High Club, because it's more interesting
than the inflight movie.
Louder Than Words and take two by StarEyedNight--Two great, great little fics about
Greg finally getting sick of Nick's secrecy, and Nick proving his feelings for Greg. Take two is from Bobby the
Ballistic Guy's POV, and it's cute. I love Catherine's reaction.
Mutually Beneficial by StarEyedNight--Nick sends Greg flowers, and Greg decides how to thank him. Very cute.
Actualization of Love by Ullman--Another Nick is sick fic. He's frustrated by being bed ridden, and taking that frustration out on
Greg. Greggo takes it like a man though.
Not Available by Ullman--A short, domestic fic about Greg listening to the joint answering machine message.
The Morning After by Ullman--Greg wakes up with the hangover from hell after overindulging
at Warrick's birthday party. Nick relishes telling Greg all the details he can't remember.
Viewing Pleasure by Ullman--Mmm...Greg begs Nick to touch himself while he watches.
Post-It Devilry part one, two, three and four by Quettaser--More Post-Its!
A sexy established relationship fic that starts with Greg teasing Nick, but ends in mutual gratification.
Other
*NEW* Nudge by Girlnorth--Greg/Sara. Read my review at the crack_van.
*NEW* Out of the Depths by VicXntric--Nick/Warrick. Read my review at the crack_van.
David/Travis Ficlet by Geekwriter--This pairing shouldn't work, but it totally does, mostly because David the Assistant Coroner is such a likeable, sympathetic, and
partly because David Anders, who plays Travis, has chemistry with absolutely everyone. Plus, this fic is a score for the underdog.
Congruent by Jeanine--Greg. Sara. Nick. Night club. Dancing. Threesome.
Yes, yes, yes. And as an added bonus, it ends with a genuinely happy Sara that we rarely get to see on the
show.
Lullaby for an Insomniac by Jeanine--Sara/Warrick. This is easily my favorite Sara/Warrick story, and possibly my
favorite Sara story in general. Sara's an insomniac that's almost belligerent about staying awake, but Warrick finds a way to get her to sleep. Maybe it's because I love the
image of Warrick playing the piano so much, but this fic just makes me so happy.
So Good In Love by Jeanine--Sara/Warrick from Grissom's bittersweet perspective. He realizes why she looks so happy lately.
Takes place during the Law Enforcement Marathon thing in season four.
Fire and Ice by Jeanine--Sara/Warrick. In San Fransisco, Sara's nickname used to be "Ice Woman."
In Las Vegas, she's called something else.
Hearsay by Jeanine--Amy the new lab tech has a crush on Warrick (and who wouldn't), but he let's her know that
he's taken. Features weary Warrick and prickly, self-conscious Sara.
Uncharted Territory by Jeanine--Sara/Archie. Mmm...Archie is completely hot, and I love his fanboy-ness. Here, the author explores this as he tries to teach
Sara about all his favorite sci-fi shows.
Crossing the Lines by ViXntric--Warrick/Nick. Warrick helps Nick deal with a particularly painful case that Nick can't let go.
Three by Girlnorth--Sara/Nick/Greg together in a hotel at a conference. Hotness
ensues.
