Pairings: NSxGS, CWxWB, GGxSS, WSx??,...
Beta/Help: LaughableBlackStorm (overall), Sara's Girl (NG flashbacks), WitchGirl (plot advice) and LostLadyKnight (Yo!Bling consulting)
Disclaimer: If I owned it, Greg would get more screentime, Warrick wouldn't be dead, Yo!Bling would be canon and The Love would get wayy more subtext. Insert other conditionals here.
Timeline: Season 8 (Sara is in Frisco, Warrick is alive and divorced, and Wendy is set on becoming a CSI)
