Re: Fanfiction Request, Reccomendation, & Showcase
I've already posted this up here a while ago, but I hadn't updated in a while and one of my reviewers said that he hadn't been able to find it elsewhere and ended up finding it through here. Anyway, hope it's alright to post it up here again
Story: Se Salva
Word Count: 162,109 words
Rating: T/PG-13, methinks
Main characters: Nick, Greg, Wendy, Warrick and Cath. It really is a teamfic, minus Sara and Grissom, though Griss and Sara do each get a few scenes. Archie, Hodges and SuperDave all make significant cameos.
Ships: Cath/Warrick, Nick/Greg, with canon GSR present but not major. Wendy and Hodges get some flirting as well.
Timeline: S8 (Sara's in Frisco, Wendy wants to become a CSI and Warrick is alive)
Genre: Mystery/casefile with a lot of character drama, angst and suspense. There are 2 main cases that are very much related to each other, along with at least one minor one on the side.
Warnings: Definitely some teary parts. Also, cases of a more adult nature are hinted at. Implied slash, though I have had plenty of readers who don't normally like Nick/Greg or slash who still read the story.
Summary: Four robbers return to the scene of a casino heist, resulting in a brutal hostage situation for the three CSIs still processing the casino. Only two CSIs make it out, and the entire team struggles with the aftermath. Catherine and Warrick try to hold what's left of the team together, even when it means putting it before their personal lives. Wendy strives to fill Greg's footsteps and fulfill her own dreams as she finishes her proficiencies, while Nick is devastated by grief -- and heartbreak. Grissom decides that an addition to the team is what everyone needs -- or is it just what he needs? Finally, Catherine recognizes a pair of melancholy eyes on the man who took her, Nick and Greg hostage on that gruesome night, bringing back memories of a tragic love story of years far past.
