The Kumquats, Rain

[geekwriter143.livejournal.com]

Hi, I'm Geekwriter and I'll be recommending stories about the other GeekLove, Nick and Greg from CSI. I'm thinking of this less as a challenge to myself to rec 50 stories and more as a chance to spread the Nick/Greg love. Because Nick and Greg are adorable, addictive, and impossible to resist. Those of us in the fandom pride ourselves on sucking other people in; we not only welcome newcomers to the fandom, we actively encourage and celebrate them, so if you're looking for a new fandom, read some of the stories I rec and see if it appeals to you. I hope it does. And if you're an old school Nick/Greg fan, you'll know a lot of these, but I hope to rec a few gems that not everyone has seen before.

Here's my table of prompts.

Claim: CSI, Nick/Greg
Title: The Kumquats
Author: lblikesbagels (aka Dr. FooFoo)
Characters: Nick Stokes, Greg Sanders, Sara Sidle
Prompt: Dream
Rating: NC-17
Length: short
Brief summary: I'm a sucker for stories where Sara, Nick, and Greg are friends. In this story, Sara and Greg are closer than Sara and Nick, but she still manages to convince Nick to come out with her to hear some bands play. Dr. FooFoo manages, in a story under 2000 words, to hit the characters spot on. Sara's intense even when she's having a good time, Greg's laid back and cooler than he's allowed to be in the lab, and Nick's sincere, likes Pat Benatar, and isn't quite sure about things like bands with tap dancers in them. Also, there are desperate gropes and breathless kisses and a blowjob in a bathroom stall.

Claim: CSI, Nick/Greg
Title: Rain
Author: natroga
Characters: Greg Sanders, Nick Stokes
Prompt: Light
Rating: PG
Length: short
Brief summary: Natroga is, unfortunately, often overlooked in the CSI fandom, though I don't know why. I'm a big fan of her writing, especially this story, which is a tiny but very sweet slice of the domestic side of Nick and Greg's life.
