fic rec: The Signal, The Notice Given
Title: The Signal, The Notice Given
Author: cand86
Pairing: Gen; Tommy Gregson/Cheryl Gregson (background)
Length: 728
Rating: G
Warnings: N/A
Verse: Elementary
Author's summary: They're both talking about betrayal, but different kinds.
Reccer's comments: One of the few fics that focuses on Captain Gregson, providing a character study and possible backstory to explain the tension between him and his former partner in "One Way to Get Off," 1x07. I love this episode for many reasons, and the uncertainty about what went wrong between Gregson and D'Amico in the past is one of them. The history imagined here complicates the mistrust between them, suggesting a reason why Gregson was so willing to be in denial about her actions then, not wanting to dwell on the principles he was considering betraying at the time. A nice little bonus is a cameo by Detective Javier Abreu (last seen in the pilot).
ETA: in response to a comment, I added Het to the Pairing label as such relationships are a topic of consideration.
