Subtext is everything

Title: a lapse in judgment
Fandom: Gossip Girl/CSI crossover with a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it Criminal Minds reference
Characters/Pairings: Eric van der Woodsen, Chuck Bass, Nick Stokes/Greg Sanders, Sara Sidle, Sofia Curtis, Blair Waldorf (mentioned), the van der Bass family (mentioned), Jonathon (mentioned), OCs
Genre: Angstiness and some fluff, because Nick/Greg is too cute
Rating: PG-13, because I am incapable of writing anything without dropping the F-bomb. Also, sex, drugs and implied murder
Warnings: It’s CSI meets Gossip Girl. I’m not sure what else you need to know. Also, this takes place in between seasons two and three of GG and during season 10 of CSI. It’s sort of AU in that Sofia and Sara never left in the first place. The break up between Chuck and Blair is (probably) made up. Unbeta’d, so all errors are my own.
Summary: Eric should have known that going with Chuck on a weeklong bender after Blair broke his heart (again) in Las Vegas wouldn’t end well.
Spoilers: None.

They’re talking about someone named Hodges and, from what they’re saying, he sounds like the most annoying guy in the world but he seems like the only one in the entire lab who knows that they’re an item, which Eric finds amusing, because they work with a bunch of investigators and it’s not like they’re discreet about their relationship.

Title: Five Love Songs
Rating: PG-13 for swears
Warnings: None
Spoilers: None
Summary: Twenty minutes later, Nick has successfully put out the fire and gives Greg an icepack for his head. “Well, at least we didn’t have to call the fire department,” he says brightly.

( Cautiously, Nick takes it, takes one smell and feels about ready to throw up. Burnt toast, a glass of orange juice that’s been in the fridge for about eight months now, black pancakes drenched in syrup and something that looks like… 'Greg, is that cat vomit?' )

Title: a hand to hold
Rating: PG
Warnings: Well, Sofia’s in this one. So, if you hate her, you might not want to read it.
Spoilers: “Play With Fire”, “Spark of Life”, “Bang-Bang/Way to Go”, “Fannysmackin’” and “Post Mortem”.
Summary: Sofia goes to Greg's apartment to comfort him and learns about his relationship with Nick Stokes. (Also Brass/Sofia)

( At that, Sofia lets out a real laugh and, God, it feels good. She hasn’t laughed for a while. )

Title: in this valley of dying stars
Rating: R for violence, sex and death.
Warnings: Character death and dark themes
Summary: “Build a time machine,” Greg murmurs, his dark eyes alight. “Go back in time and save me.” He presses a lingering kiss to Nick’s lips.
Spoilers: It takes place after season eight, but no direct spoilers.

( At the funeral, Sara holds Nick’s hand. )

Title: greg sanders's personal credo
Rating: PG-13 for sex 'n swears.
Warnings: Um... sex 'n swears?
Summary: Greg is human, after all.
Spoilers: None.

( He is human, after all. )

Title: voulez-vous danser avec moi?
Rating: PG
Warnings: Um… there is swearing?
Summary: Greg learns how to dance.
Spoilers: None.


( Anyone who's ever had a heart wouldn't turn around and break it. )

Title: you’re broken and defeated (we carry on)
Rating: R
Warnings: Sex and swearing
Summary: This is the first time Greg’s felt broken by a case.
Spoilers: Very light for “Play With Fire,” “Grave Danger” and “Fannysmackin’”.
