hunting season
I'm now officially a multi-shipper.
Fandom: CSI, Original Gangsta Version. Pairings SO FAR -- keep in mind I've only seen half of seasons 1 and 2 to date:
1) Catherine/Grissom. It is like Crusher/Picard, but with more pole-dancing! (He's a socially awkward academic who knows everything about everything, she's a single mom with more than a little snark in her, and they've got a possibly-angsty as-yet-undetermined past...)
2) Sara/Grissom. Geek mating rituals, omg!
3) Sara/Nicky. The cuteness kills me dead in totally unexplained ways!
Ritual stoning may now commence.

Re: as usual, you and I are so better than the steekin' comment limits *WEG*
I just saw that scene! And you are SO RIGHT! It is friendship perfection, and omg, I love her indulgent and proud little smiles as he's on the phone, and it's just... SO WELL DONE YAY. She is so totally different from him, and I love love love all the little scenes where he's drawn to that alienness about her. (How she is not opposed to living humans, for one.) And the bit about how she's comfy in his place!!! Wasn't there a scene in another episode where he's all "I'm not USED to having PEOPLE in my HOUSE" at her, and she's all "Yes, whatever." I love the idea that she's allowed to lounge around his sanctum sanctorum and no one else is. :)
She's such a yenta with him it's adorable.
It's almost like... sisterly priviledges. The way he'd kill anyone else, but he can't kill her because she's Catherine, for better or worse. ;)
I was originally thinking 'lantis as CSIs...
Hrm. I'm having a really hard time picturing how the two bunches of people would interact. Ford and Nicky would have to forge a mutual defense pact to get people to stop making fun of them.
As far as CSIs in spaaaaace? I'm still hooked on this alien abduction notion. :) Actually, I've been jonesing for more X-file-y mayhem in CSI-world, mostly because the opening scenes of CSI and the opening scenes of X-Files are often so similar, and that one episode where Sara's all rooting for spontaneous human combustion and Warrick is rightfully mocking her. (I'd yell Sara/Mulder OTP! at this moment except... they would totally forget to have sex ever.) At any rate.
just keep 'em set in Season 1 and they'll sound like season 1.
But see, so much about the characters' backstory hasn't come to light yet. Like, I was writing friendshipish fic in which Sara and Nicky get hammered (as they would), and then I'm coming across fics online which all seem to indicate Sara is AA, and now I'm all "er?" because that's something I wouldn't know yet. See my dilemma? And also, I really hope Sara's not an alcoholic, because I'm digging on this notion of her just being weird and workaholic and socially withdrawn all on her own without having Dramatic Television Reasons For Making Her Be So, y'know? I'll just nurse that fantasy while it lasts.
Re: as usual, you and I are so better than the steekin' comment limits *WEG*
Oh my God, SO very much. And everyone else is just "No. NO. It will EAT YOU." And, hey, maybe once it's all declassified (yeah, right) someone'll pass a paper about it on to Grissom and he'll be chomping at the bit to travel to Pegasus.
Loki abducts one of them. Clone!Sex YAY! *G*
Bwah! Just what the mini!OTP craziness needs.
Hmmm....how to not spoil whilst I explain. *G* Or do you mind a little explanation on that front cause I can offer one but it's kinda involved *G*
Oh, please spoil me! I don't mind for this show at all. Just shows I'm watching in real time. :)
super stealth comment
MiniCSI! *snicker* They'd be so cute!!!
Oh, geez. Sara would just be like "FUCK. YOU." It would be hilarious.
Okay, yeah Sara has an alcohol problem but it only really surfaced in I think Season 5. (I mix up the most recent ones like whoa *G*) It wouldn't affect her being her weird, workaholic self.
I guess the question is -- did she know she was an alcoholic in season 1? Was she already in some kind of recovery? Or was it only discovered later on? I mean... *would* she go out and drink with Nick or would that be a big red flag of disaster?
*squeee* I love the smell of fandom in the morning. ;)
Re: as usual, you and I are so better than the steekin' comment limits *WEG*
YES. YES. YES. It's perhaps my biggest pet peeve in fanfic when A and B like each other and so they pretty much hate everyone else all of a sudden. I'm explaining it badly, but it's like... if Grissom and Sara get together, he won't be able to stand Catherine because the ficwriter is threatened by Grissom and Catherine getting together. You know? PET. PEEVE. Rar.
To Gil she *IS* better at it than he is, much better and he's absolutely fascinated by it. It's just adorable to watch him try and figure it out while Catherine tries to *show* him and fights how exasperating that can be *G*
Love it! And she flies off the handle so easily, and he just kind of waits her out, because really, he would have zero clue how to relate to her on that level, and it's better to just wait until she becomes mostly-sane and open to logic again. I can see her early in their working relationship having lots of moments of "But doesn't that PISS you OFF!?" and he's all "... no. It's just evidence." But because she has at least SOME EQ, she figures him out before he figures her out. But they handle each other well, so yay. BFF! ;)
It was the one where she got that guy killed by telling the husband about his affair with the dead wife.
No, it wasn't! But I love that scene. The scene I was talking about was once when he got taken off a case and so Catherine rounds up the gang to help him out with it on their off-time (it was... a serial killer, I think? It might even have been the one where he royally pisses off the Federales). And she just waltzes into his place while he's there alone and he's all pissed and she's all "That's nice, Gil, now recognize that I'm being nice to you and let's go solve this case." Because all the rest of them are hiding outside his place, and she had to go in and get him, either because she drew the short straw or because she's the obvious choice.
But the scene with the affair and the dead wife... I LOVE that scene! She totally hit him where it hurts, because she knows him that well, but he totally doesn't react to it the way she would, and they're both just "I DON'T GET YOU BUT I'M PRETENDING I DO!" I also like how both she and Sara have said that they want to be like Grissom, but Catherine was being sarcastic and Sara really means it. (Oh, so THIS is why multishipping is so cool! You get to analyze different pieces of the characters based on how they fit together! I get it now!)
(HEE! CSI BBQ! Analyzing the burn patterns on the chicken! *G*)
OMGEEEEE!! PLEASE say you have written this! That's just fantastic. :) Actually, I don't know that it needs to be written -- the mental image may just be enough. I see Grissom at the grill and Warrick and Sara behind him arguing about something about it, and Catherine and Nick egging Lindsey on to torment Greg, and it would just be really cute.
Yet she probably breezes through the door with like dinner and maybe even Lindsay in tow and is all "yeah, Linds has a science affair thing with an ant farm..." and *KNOWS* Grissom is going to be all over *THAT*.
Oh, how perfect! Grissom totally buys Lindsey stuff like ant farms and then the ants escape and Catherine goes on a rampage and Lindsey and Grissom are screaming "No! NO! Don't kill them!" and it'd be great.
Lindsey is totally the Cassandra of this show -- she's everybody's surrogate offspring because they have none of their own. I think one of my favorite scenes so far is totally the one where Nick and Grissom buy Lindsey the same chem set for her birthday and are totally bouncing about it. *squeee* Man, I should totally hate on myself for wanting kid!fic, but I just... always do! I'd love to see how each of our intrepid heroes would behave for an hour or so alone with Catherine's tyke. I imagine all of them have probably had to do it at one time or another. :)
Re: as usual, you and I are so better than the steekin' comment limits *WEG*
Yeah. There's something beautifully cruel about that moment. It reminds me of being a little kid and just saying the ONE thing that you've known all along but haven't said because it's totally not nice. *evils* I love how they both react, though. So perfectly telling about their characters, that she gets defensive and screams and lashes back and he... doesn't. I like that she's a little bit cruel, too, and it's awesome that he just lets it go and asks for a truce (love it!) and isn't wary of her because of it.
:)
I'll trade you chicken burns for ant guts *G*
It's a deal. :)
Kid!Fic is fun. Especially in a fandom like this, it becomes an escape and we needs our escapes we does. But with this? They're all so cute about her that it's just...it's like chocolate *G* fic chocolate *G*
Yes!! Totally! Chocolate is awesome. Man cannot live on angst!fic alone! Mmmm. And they really are freaking adorable about her, and I'm sure she doesn't mind at all at that young an age having adoring pseudo-relatives running around everywhere, even if they do all fight over who gets to help her with her science fair projects. And Catherine's all "This is for second-graders, guys. Guys?" And then Greg shows her how to make plasma in a microwave by sticking a toothpick in a piece of bread, and everyone else is still arguing while she draws her report.
I'd say pretty easily they all have!!!!! Definitely all have and we need to see some of it because *EEEEEE*!!!!
Eee! Yes!! I have a hard time imagining Sara actually *playing* with her. I think she'd be a little wary of children, since they respond to commands less well than, say, dogs, and are unlikely to stay in one place. At least, not until she gets to know her. Then she might mellow out a bit. ;)
OMG CHILD CUTENESS!! Thank you, CSI, for giving us something other than pain and death.
Re: as usual, you and I are so better than the steekin' comment limits *WEG*
EXACTLY!!! I mean, you might have to come up with some kind of a reason why so-and-so left character A for character B, or chose one over the other, but you don't have to completely assasinate anybody's character in doing that!! ARGH. I just want to scream every time grown women run away and start sobbing in jealous rage whenever ONE COWORKER SPEAKS TO ANOTHER, because... omg! These people are not 12! They're really not! Not that I keep stumbling across those fics or anything, noooo.... (I hate the wolf-in-sheep's-clothing effect with fics. Like, when a writer is actually a decent writer and spells well, and then does something like THAT!)
He's just like "Whoop, Mount St. Catherine blowing again, wow, isn't that lava pattern fascinating? Best move out of the way and stare while I wait for the reaction to settle...ooh lookit, bees!"
Bwah! Exactly. And it's nice because he's got that it's just part of her, so he doesn't fret about having to rise to the challenge and figure out how to talk her down or anything.
They're looking at a brutalized body or something and he's just examining a scraping on a thigh and Catherine's already well into FURIOUS!Cath mode and he's all "buh? does not compute."
Fortunately, he's good at tuning people out. :)
