Fanfiction Recommendations
This page is meant as a resource for anyone looking for a really good GSR fanfic to read. Below are a list of some of my favorite stories, as well as places to go in search of other great stories.
The Ultimate Fanfic Resources
When I want to find new fanfics to read, or hang out with some really cool writers, here's where I go...
fanfiction.net
Has a huge number of GSR fics.
Questioned Documents @YTDAW
A fantastic resource for writers & readers alike - get news on the lasts GSR fics online, discuss every aspect of fanfic writing & get advice and beta help.
GeekFiction
A terrific fanfic community on live journal for all CSI pairings. Has the added benefit of allowing all the smut that is prohibited on ff.net. The smut-a-thon, and last summer's Summer Sizzler entries are a must read.
The undisputed Queen of CSI Erotica, her stories range from PG to NC17, One-Shots to Epics, Comedy to the most involving of Dramas. In particular, I strongly recommend:
The Casa Caliente Series (NC17)
The Power Exchange (NC17)
The Power Exchange - Language Lessons (NC17)
The Power Exchange - Dark Waters (NC17)
Saturday by Spoonfuls (NC17)
Spoonfuls of Saturday (NC17)
NIP (NC17)
The Kringle P.O (PG)
LSI has the distinction of being the writer that got me hooked on fanfiction. She specializes in Romance and Angst and I strongly recommend all her work, especially:
Remember Lake Tahoe (NC17)
The Seduction of Sara Sidle (R) (first fic I ever read)
Grissom's Overture (PG-13)
Summerhouse (R) (WIP)
If Cincoflex is the Queen of Erotica, then surely Hazelmom is the Queen of Angst. Her fics are beautifully and tenderly written. Her work includes the wonderful:
Ghosts (PG-13)
Ghosts Epilogue - No Rest for the Weary (PG-13)
Speechless (PG)
Afraid of the Light (M) (a cross-over with WAT)
Hope Springs (PG-13)
ScullyAsTrinity (aka ScullysEvilTwin)
No two ways about it - Scully is a poet. With a huge back-catalogue of fics, including One-Shots, longer pieces and a healthy dose of smut-fics, there's just too many for me to recommend, but I'll try anyway - recent favorites have included:
Almost Gone (M)
Addendum (NC-17)
Rounding on Autumn (PG-13)
Linger (PG)
Manilla (PG)
Inanimate (PG)
Bed Bath and Beyond (PG-13)
A Case of You (PG) (Beautifully written angst)
Another consistently amazing writer with a terrific back-catalogue of one-shots and longer stories that must be read - particularly:
Keeping it Quiet (M)
The Loophole (PG)
Fall Into The Gap (PG)
Belated (PG)
Wherefore (PG-13)
Open Road (PG)
The Art of Losing (PG)
The Art of Finding (PG)
If you're looking for top-notch romance and angst, look no further. In particular, check out:
Giving Up (PG-13)
Letting Go (PG-13)
The Honey & The Moon (PG)
The Winner Takes All (PG-13)
The Invisible Man (PG-13)
Beauty & the Beholder (PG-13) (WIP)
Courtney Wallace (PG-13) (WIP)
The Last Embrace (PG) (WIP)
Relief (PG)
All I Have To Do (M)
The Last Embrace (PG-13) (Warning: C/D)
A craftswoman of high-grade GSR fics, including:
Lucidity (PG)
Bear Witness (PG-13)
Quiet Desperation (PG-13)
Tortured Reasoning (PG-13) (co-written with Burked)
Ever After (PG-13) (WIP)
More great GSR romance & angst. Such as:
Comfy Cozy are We (PG)
Till We Get It Right (PG-13) (WIP)
Yet more great writing - my favorites include:
Leave of Absence (PG-13)
Sara's Little Sister (PG)
The Past Brought Present (PG-13)
One of my favorite writer's, Laura Katharine, is now writing under a new name - And Also With You.
Her work is currently not on ff.net, but with luck, her wonderful stories, such Scheme - A Holiday Drabble, Pouring, Brave Changer, In Times Like These, and The Trouble With Marriage, etc., will eventually be re-archived.

Sweet Ride (M)
