I finally had a chance to read this. You totally should have given an 'angst'-warning! I liked being in Greg's obsessed little mind, poor woobie. This is what happens when you're not brave enough. Silly men. (If I read between the lines correctly, I'd say Nick was also to blame for nothing happening between them)
I don't want a sequel, this was so full of references to all the things that happened on the Nick/Greg timeline, I could reread it a couple of times and still remember new subtexty scenes. Let the future be wide open;)
Nitpicking: Is there an episode missing from your spoiler list? You end with 'and'. Also: Greg 'loses' his mind, I think;) I got a little confused that you went back to the events of the explosion AFTER you already mentioned Nick's kidnapping. I get that you did Nick's adventures first and then continued with Greg's big bang -so to speak-, but it still threw me off. I hate to read 'older man/younger man' instead of their names, especially when age is not an issue in the relationship. "... getting ready to leaving as well."--> to leave "When the were forced to leave Vegas"--> when they
All in all this was lovely, even if it was depressing to read how they never made it happen.:( I think you captured both Nick and Greg perfectly. It was a bit weird to read my own name in a fic (shout out!), but I really liked that you added some people outside of the CSI-verse. I can see Nick ending up with someone his family introduced him to, more so than someone he would meet in Vegas (...). But I would like to think Greg has finally had enough of being passive and takes the first step. Don't tell me though, I prefer the open ending;)
