My fellow CSI veterans --

[janissa11]

I'm trying to find a story I read long, looong ago. It was a Mag7/CSI crossover. Nick/Gil and set in the historically accurate timeline of M7. Gil was a professor, Nick his student, blah blah

Nick is kinda my "little black dress" in CSI. I can read him paired with anyone! I can only take Gil paired with Greg...anyone else and it becomes squicky for me for some reason.

[janissa11]

I am too married to my pairings, really. I love gen, and I love Nick/Gil, and... I can do some Nick/Warrick, definitely, and a bit of Nick/OMC, but that's about as far as I can go. Squicky, yes! No idea why, just not my cuppa, you know?

[ninasis]

No, I completely feel you. Honestly, I've always wished I was a little more consistent in my OTPness, because I'm all over the map from fandom to fandom

[janissa11]

I seem to have this pattern where I'll have an OTP in a given fandom, but can read stories that have one of the OTP characters paired with just about anyone, but the other OTP character is a no-no.

Oh, it does make sense! I'm pretty much the same -- there's a flexible partner and a non-flexible one, usually. Heee!

Is this the Mag7/CSI crossover by any chance?

YES IT IS! \o/ Thank you -- I remember it being a very charming story! *HUGS*

Have you ever read her other crossover, set modern day? Vegas Odyssey, I think it's called? I really liked that one. :)

[janissa11]

I haven't, but now I have it bookmarked. ;D Thank you again!

I AM SO HAPPY YOU ARE HAVING THIS RENAISSANCE. I'M JUST SAYIN.

[janissa11]

*grin* It's weird -- it's been very, very easy to fall back into it. Although frustrating too; I've gotten used to/been spoiled by SPN's glut of fiction, and now am remembering that I came to SPN from a comparatively teeny-tiny fandom. Grrr. WANT MOAR.

[eleanor_lavish]

I'm with Nic on this one and I think it's AWESOME that you're all OMG NICK again! It's seriously making me reread all the old fics I loved, but... yeah. I forgot in the glut of fic in my newer fandoms how relatively BARREN the land of CSI fic was.

And try to find a fic with Brass in it where he's actually SEXY. That is nigh impossible! makes me want to reopen my Gil/Nick/Brass story, just to have SOMETHING THERE.

*sends you cookies to do just that*

[elmyraemilie]

That Roman storyline is, um...tasty. Wonder if I could get away with a minimal amount of research and just do a quickie?

[elmyraemilie]

Because if I have to do research it'll never ever get done.

[janissa11]

Please! Grab on, pardner!

(And if you wanted to make him a SECRET son of a bigwig, feel free! *g* *HUGS*)

[janissa11]

Shit, it could be a 'verse. I mean, not to get all grandiose or anything, but people could play there. I...have thought of little else today, honestly. Sorta fleshing it out in my head. What are your thoughts? (Although if you are writing right now? Please to be continuing and ignoring this comment. *g*)

How strong is your tolerance for Hodges? The fic I'm thinking of is Sweet and Sour by vicntrx: http://www.mts.net/~bishop/words.htm (link goes to main page)
It pairs him with Nick, is post-GD (a few months, not immediately following), and is mostly from Hodges' point of view. It's been awhile since I read it, but I remember being utterly charmed by it.

[janissa11]

Ooh! I actually, erm, made him very misguided in a story ages past -- but I quite like him usually. Heee! Thank you for the link!!
