Fic: Fireflies (CSI, Nick/Greg, NC17)
Title: Fireflies
Fandom: CSI
Pairing: Nick/Greg
Rating: not for kids
Summary: AU. Greg's a first-timer at Camp Chinibi in Wisconsin. He's also nursing some grief over the loss of someone close to him. Nick's a counselor with a soft spot for weird, sort of mopey kids from California. The odds are stacked against them, but that just makes it more fun. 28,221 words.
Warnings: Consensual physical relationship between a newly minted 19-year-old and a 16-year-old.
A/N: At the end of the fic for your spoiler protection. Thanks to cinderlily for the once-over. All mistakes are, of course, all mine.
( No doubt about it, this was going to be the worst summer of Greg's life. )
The fake cut takes you to my space at Archive Of Our Own, because this thing really is tragically long for LJ's standards.
But wait, there's more! Since I am never content to just write the fic and be done with it, oh, no, I started a soundtrack ages ago. In the end I ditched most of the bad 80s songs that were on there originally and replaced them with other, equally bad, 80s songs over the weekend. And a couple songs which were not written in the 80s, though they may or may not be considered bad. Your mileage may vary and all that. But since I made it, I figured I would post it. Some people enjoy a little mood music while they read. I know I certainly do.
Fireflies: A Nick/Greg Mix (zip file)
1) Aztec Camera -- Oblivious
I hear your footsteps in the street,
It won't be long before we meet,
It's obvious.
2) Jesse Johnson -- Get to Know Ya
I'd take you home with me, if I could
Get to know ya, misunderstood
Cause there's no reason why I hurt so deep inside
3) Stone Temple Pilots -- Pour Some Sugar On Me (live)
Pour some sugar on me, ooh, in the name of love
Pour some sugar on me, c'mon fire me up
Pour your sugar on me, oh, I can't get enough
4) Belouis Some -- Round Round
I’m going round round again
I’m saying things that I really shouldn’t say
I’m going round round again
I guess you matter to me
5) Graham Nash -- Simple Man
The ending of the tale
is the singing of the song
make me proud to be your man
only you can make me strong
6) Rhett Miller -- Fireflies
I started planning our future
You were just 19
Still a firefly
7) Allman Brothers Band -- Straight From the Heart
You've heard every line before
My life's a revolving door
With no way out and no way in
You know just what's on my mind
Could you take a chance one more time
Maybe we could start all over again
8) The Alarm -- Rain in the Summertime
and love is the faith that keeps on burning
I love to feel the rain in the summertime
I love to feel the rain on my face
9) Bob Dylan -- Shelter From the Storm
And if I pass this way again you can rest assured
I'll always do my best for her on that I give my word
In a world of steel-eyed death and men who are fighting to be warm
"Come in" she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm"
10) Leonard Cohen -- I’m Your Man
If you want a driver
Climb inside
Or if you want to take me for a ride
You know you can
I'm your man
11) The Ramones -- I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend
Do you love me babe?
What can I say?
Because I wanna be your boyfriend
12) Modern English -- I Melt With You
I'll stop the world and melt with you
You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time
There's nothing you and I won't do
I'll stop the world and melt with you
