Title: Still Waters Run Deep
Author: zechsy & tzi
Characters: Gil Grissom, Greg Sanders
Prompt: Crossover
Rating: NC-17
Length: Epic
Brief summary: This story combines two of my favorite things: Hannibal Lecter and CSI. The team comes to find out Grissom is not who he says. He also gets visit from not one but two of the ones that got away.

The story also gives a great back story to Grissom and a look at possibly why he acts the way he does.

I'm solamentenic and I'll be reccing all things Grissom for this community. Most of the stories will be of the slash variety, usually involving Nick or Greg or both. I might even surprise you (and myself) and throw in a het story or two.

Prompt: Fandom Cliche
Rating: NC-17
Length: Epic
Brief summary: The story is one of the two CSI fics written for the Cuff ‘Em, Vamp ‘Em, or Just Make ‘Em Come Already Kink and Cliché Multi-Fandom Challenge and it quickly became one of my all-time favorites.

There's anal probing, body swapping and hot sex. GilGreg and GregGil take full advantage of their unlikely situation. I know I would.
