CSI

I'm still struggling with the BTVS mother-of-all recs post. I'm beginning to think I should do it in installments and give myself a break. Basically, I've decided I need to look over everything I'm reccing (it's been a LONG time!) and that leads to lots of rereading and enormous time-suck. What?! I have to be thorough!

In the meantime, recs for a show I don't even watch:

[livejournal.com profile] thelastgoodname's Stray Conversations PG, Sara/Catherine is a charming and very interesting take on their romance. Told entirely through conversations between Catherine and a very likeable and well-drawn Grissom, [livejournal.com profile] thelastgoodname tells us their story indirectly with remarkable results. No sex though. Sorry. :)

I've recc'd this story before, but things tend to get buried so here it is. If you haven't read Monique Bartok's Crash & Yearn, you're missing out. Sara/Catherine, NC-17. Alternating first person. I read this because I loved Monique's SVU, A/O fic, Sere Nere, and it made me finally take the CSI fandom seriously. An explosion involving Sara and Lindsey makes Catherine re-assess her feelings for her younger colleague. There are a few grammatical and phrasing oddities in here that I took to be the stumblings of a non-native English speaker, so you have been warned. They don't get in the way of a really wonderful story though.
