S6Ep05 Gum Drops
Last weekend we posted the final three nominated scenes from S6 in our Search For The Favorite Nick/Greg Moment Of All Time, this is one of the finalists! A memorable episode of its own right, because we get to see the team have a picnic lunch outside of the lab! It's such a lovely glimpse into group dynamics, with of course a starring role for our Greg, who makes Nick laugh. (And is that thigh touching we see under the table?)

( You're radiating this crazy feminine energy. )

Ahw, Nick is clearly still dealing with the aftermath of Grave Danger. Saw anything special going on between Nick and Greg? Know of follow up fic or meta? Share!

Thought this was the best Nick/Greg scene from the season? Or want to compare it to the other two contestants? For links and/or to vote go here!

We of course also love to have your squee in the comments!

FOLLOW UP FICS!

Comfort by iamtheenemy, PG: Greg waits for Nick to come back from the hospital.

Hiding by clio21000, PG13: Nick’s reaction, Greg’s support, and Sara’s story.

Never Give Up by kissingchaos9, G: The only things in life worth living for are worth fighting for.

Passing Judgment on my Life by Dipenates, 8 chapters, R: A case comes up that forces Sara and Nick think about their pasts. Can Greg help Nick to realise that he's not in the good place he thinks he is?

Broken Souls by sparkleblsmchyld, R: Everybody has a hero.

S6Ep14 Killer
The one in which Nick and Greg spend a lot of time in the desert, Greg babbles about porn and Nick has possibly the worst punchline ever.

( We're about to start a British rock band. )
Ba-da-bing. Ahem.

Once again Greg's naughty chatting makes Nick pretend to focus on the job (But he's not fooling anyone;) What do you think: did Greg collect the 'trash' as evidence (to show Nick he was wrong dissing the magazines)?
And surely you have something to say about their hair?! Are you inspired to write follow up fic or make art? Or did you suddenly remember an awesome story related to the case or this scene? All slightly relevant and/or slashy comments are welcome!

This is another one of the Season 6 classics that has been nominated in the latest edition of our Search for the All Time Favorite Nick & Greg Moment! You may cast your vote here!

S6Ep16: Up In Smoke
Soon we will continue our Search for the All Time Favorite Nick and Greg moment with the second half of Season 6! To get you in the mood, here is one of the nominated scenes. Apparently Nick and Greg have spent some time apart, because Nick was unaware Greg went to the gym. We suspect this moment was followed by a more indepth investigation into Greg's muscle development...

( You, uh ... been pumping iron there, Greg? )
Come on, people: we need follow up fic! Or a prequel to the scene; why didn't Nick know about this? Did they have a bit of a break up? Was Greg planning a ninja surprise? We want your theories! Or just talk about their hippy-hair :-D
Or maybe you are inspired by this scene to join our icon competition? (To those of you who already submitted icons: we got them, good job!)

Be creative!

S6Ep07: A Bullet Runs Through it, Part 1
This is probably the only time ever we offer a classic moment with a warning. Beware of that thing Nick grew under his nose; 'STACHE ALERT! Just like Greg we would rather not be reminded of this, but our guys do seem to have a little non verbal conversation on the issue here, so it is one of the nominated scenes in our Search for the All Time Favorite Nick and Greg moment! You will be able to cast your vote in the next poll. For now: get ready to shake your head with fondness; what was Nick thinking?

(There is a 'stacheless reward at the end)

( Hey mustache boy, come over here and check this out. )
¹Don't agree with Greg and quite fancy the 'stache despite popular opinion? Make your case in the comments!
Whatever you may think, the 'stache did inspire some awesome follow up fic and art:

Let me help you... - art by artistic_sillie PG-13

The 'Stache has got to Go! - ficlet by dixie_chickenne PG-13

How Boys Handle Things - ficlet by futurecsi1313 PG-13

Sneaky Strategies for Office Romance - ficlet by downloadable08 PG-13

The stache also plays a part in the following series:

Domestic Chores part 2/6: Stokes 'Stache Intervention a serie of ficlets by HappensToBeMe PG

Snø chapter 2/18: Snow Angels a long winter time fic by anmani PG to NC-17

S6Ep21 Rashomama
Since there isn't going to be a new episode this week, we picked a classic with an extra dose of Nick/Greg subtext. The one in which Nick is a gentleman and Greg is teasing him as usual. We offer one scene in detail and a couple of screencaps that beg for your additional comments.
If you haven’t seen the episode, please be aware of possible spoilers.
( Why do we always eat here? )

*Happy sighs all around* Oh boys. So what is your favorite memory of this episode? What happened when the day was -finally- over and they got home? Know of any follow up fic? Share your thoughts in the comments! Or chinhand and enjoy:)

There will be another trip down memory lane next week!
