Official Summary: A change in the weather brings two very different people together.
What Hayseed says: In yet another fandom, I find that my favorite story is one that has very little to do with the pairing that I prefer to read. This one is Brass/Lady Heather (yes, you read that correctly), and it's simply gorgeous. Why are you still here? You should be reading it right now.

Other People
By: Dejila
Rating: PG, I'd say. You wouldn't see anything worse on the show
Official Summary: Sara is forced to take a look at her drinking problem.
What Hayseed says: This is a frankly beautiful portrait of Sara, written before S5 premiered. Especially given what we learned about her in No Humans Involved.

About Lindsey
By: Psyched
Rating: PG, I'd say. You wouldn't see anything worse on the show
Official Summary: There doesn't appear to be one. But I'll say that we all know this story can't be about Catherine: it's about Lindsey.
What Hayseed says: I love Catherine Willows, I really do, but I'm just as tired of the 'Catherine Is The Most Important And Mysterious Person Ever' path that the show tends to take every now and again. This does a great job of absolutely slamming any and all Cath fans out there (I simply fancy myself a Cath fan with a sense of humor).

Cardinality
By: Mossley
Rating: R
Official Summary: A serial killer is stalking the citizens of Las Vegas. Started out as a case file, but the G/S aspect demanded equal representation
What Hayseed says: Mossley is one of the best CSI casefile writers out there. And most of the math stuff here is pretty accurate, too. Again, one of the things that strikes me in this story is the utter realism of the Grissom/Sara relationship. His insecurities are wonderfully portrayed.

Lonely Men
By: Alison Nixon
Rating: PG-13
Official Summary: He had said and done enough to keep her for now. What more was there to want?
What Hayseed says: One of the archetypal GSR stories out there. So real that it breaks my heart -- I would absolutely believe a romance between Grissom and Sara playing out this way. Count on more Alison recs on my site; she's one of my favorite CSI authors.

How to Have a Social Life Without Really Trying
By: Wintertime, again
Rating: PG-13
Official Summary: This could be the culminating moment in his relationship with Sara. Granted, he had never expected it to take place in Greg's living room with the sounds of a Jenga competition in the background, but still...
What Hayseed says: The Grissom-voice in this story is dead on. Dry, slightly confused, and absolutely ready to yell at Greg for anything. Short, sweet, and fun.

All Fall Down
By: Wintertime
Rating: R
Official Summary: A conspiracy. An accusation. A dead body. A betrayal. Some won't make it out unscathed. Some won't make it out at all.
What Hayseed says: This is one of those really epic sorts of tales. It's got casefile elements, but the focus is much more on the characters. And... aargh! Just read it, and you'll see why I'm recommending it. It just... sucks you in.

By: Cincoflex
Rating: NC-17, for the most part
Official Summary: There's not an overarching one, so I'll make something up. Sara learns something about Grissom that he's rather surprised doesn't put her off. A relationship ensues.
What Hayseed says: My summary doesn't even really begin to cover it, but that's what a good summary does, right? Anyway, this is one of the classic series in the GeekLove community, and there's a damn good reason for it. It's also ongoing, which is slightly frustrating, but what can you do?
