Title: Last Toast
Fandom: Bones
Characters: Booth, Brennan
Rating: T for safety
Disclaimer: Not mine. Don’t sue.
Spoilers: None.
Summary: Once a year, Booth drinks to the guys who didn’t make it. One-shot.
A/N: I’m new to the Bones fandom, and I’m afraid this first ficlet is anything but happy.

( Last Toast )

Current Mood: nervous

I haven't dropped off the face of the earth; I've just fallen into university and I can't seem to get out. Two Nick/Sara drabbles are about as much as I can manage at the moment. Both G-rated, word count is exactly 100 words each.

Title: Chance
Fandom: CSI
Pairing: Nick/Sara
Disclaimer: Not mine. Don’t sue.
Summary: Post Bloodlines. Sequel to Luck and Courage. Vegas is a pretty crappy place to be lonely. Part three of three.
Notes: Grissom’s quote is courtesy of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. The statistics are from various online sources.
A/N: The next few fics will depend on time. Between moving and getting settled and the start of a new year of uni, I may be a bit busy, so don’t be surprised if I don’t post for awhile.

Title: Courage
Fandom: CSI
Pairing: Nick/Sara
Disclaimer: Not mine. Don’t sue.
Summary: Post Dead Ringer. They don’t call it liquid courage for nothing.
A/N: Sequel to Luck. Part two of either three or four.

( Courage )

Title: Luck
Fandom: CSI
Characters: Nick, Sara
Disclaimer: Not mine. Don’t sue.
Summary: Post Butterflied. Nick’s always said Sara needs to get out more.
A/N: Apparently the best thing to do about a lack of inspiration is to complain about it. No sooner had I posted last night than the plotbunnies started reproducing like, well, bunnies.

( Luck )

Continued here.

Two Nick/Sara drabbles, because I've had no inspiration at all lately. One angsty, one... less angsty. Both G-rated, word count is exactly 100 each.

Title: Vintage
Fandom: CSI
Pairing: Nick/Sara
Disclaimer: Not mine. Don’t sue.
Previous: Curtain Call, Strings, Fear, Common Ground, Breakfast, Progress, Snapshot.
Summary: He wishes the lab a quiet night, a caseload they can handle without having to page him, because he and Sara have plans. It’s Sara’s birthday, something no one at CSI has ever celebrated because no one knew.
A/N: The last part of the “Curtain Call” series. A huge thanks to everyone who read these little fics and took the time to let me know what they thought. I hope you’ve enjoyed.

Title: Fit
Fandom: CSI
Pairing: Nick/Sara
Rating: Adult
Prompt: #33 – Cuddle
Disclaimer: Not mine. Don't sue.
Summary: My mother always said hugging me was like hugging the ironing board. A bit of Sara angst, and some smut.
A/N: In an attempt to get more comfortable writing adult fic, I’ve begun the challenge table over at smut_69 with Sara as my chosen character (various pairings). The table’s pretty bare at the moment, and this is the first N/S fic to go in it, but hopefully it’ll fill up sooner or later. I’d love to know what I could improve for the next time (or what works well)!

Title: Snapshot
Fandom: CSI
Pairing: Nick/Sara
Disclaimer: Not mine. Don’t sue.
Previous: Curtain Call, Strings, Fear, Common Ground, Breakfast, Progress.
Summary: They don’t discuss Sara’s childhood at all. Nick tried once, shortly after he read that casefile, but Sara shut him down. Between the lawyers and the advocates and the counselors, she said, she’d already done plenty of talking.
A/N: I seem to have fanfiction that needs a bibliography now. It’s down at the end to avoid spoiling things, and is in nothing approaching proper format.

Title: Turnabout
Author: and_affection
Fandom: CSI
Disclaimer: Not mine. Don’t sue.
Pairing: Grissom/Sara
Rating: Adult
Prompt: #22 – Blindfold
Summary: “You know, Sara, we rely so heavily on our sense of sight that when we lose it, we find ourselves hyper-aware of our other senses, especially our sense of touch.” Companion to Sandpiper.
A/N: I’ve just begun the challenge table over at smut_69 with Sara as my chosen character (various pairings).

( Turnabout )

Title: Progress
Fandom: CSI
Pairing: Nick/Sara
Disclaimer: Not mine. Don’t sue.
Summary: It’s been nearly a month since the last time Nick woke up in a cold sweat, trying to fight off a horde of ants. It used to happen nearly every day, so he figures this is progress.
Previous: Curtain Call, Strings, Fear, Common Ground, Breakfast
A/N: I am so, so sorry for the delay in posting this. Between being away for awhile and then being unable to work out just where this was going, it took longer than I’d hoped.

( Progress )

Continued here.

I chose to select a character (Sara) rather than a pairing for this table, because I wasn't sure whether or not I could make all the prompts work within a single pairing. Once the fic is written and linked from the table, the pairing will be indicated at the top of the fic for easy back-buttoning if it's not your cup of tea.

Title: Sandpiper
Author: and_affection
Fandom: CSI
Disclaimer: Not mine. Don’t sue.
Pairing: Grissom/Sara
Rating: Adult
Prompt: #23 – Handcuffs
Summary: “Griss, did you know that in some sandpiper species, females pursue and defend a chosen mate?” Post-TGTBTD.
A/N: In an attempt to get more comfortable with adult fic, I’m beginning the challenge table over at smut_69 with Sara as my chosen character (various pairings). Here goes with my very first prompt down. A companion to this is now posted.

Title: What's Remembered
Author: and_affection
Fandom: CSI
Characters: Sara
Rating: M for violence
Disclaimer: Not mine. Don’t sue.
Summary: I don’t remember everything, but I remember enough. Sara, a long time pre-CSI. One-shot.

( What's Remembered )

Title: Glasses
Fandom: CSI
Pairing: Nick/Sara
Disclaimer: Not mine. Don’t sue.
Rating: R
Summary: Sara can’t sleep. Nick chooses an interesting word, with interesting results. Pretty much fluff and smut for the sake of fluffy smut. One-shot.
A/N: Unrelated to the series on which I’m supposedly working. Sorry for the delay in that one; I’m having trouble getting the next part feeling right.

( Glasses )

Title: Breakfast
Fandom: CSI
Pairing: Nick/Sara
Disclaimer: Not mine. Don’t sue.
Summary: Five years of innuendo, of flirtatious banter, have been perfectly safe, because they were never going to lead anywhere. Because Sara’s always been off-limits and Nick’s always known it.
Previous: Curtain Call, Strings, Fear, Common Ground.


( Breakfast )

Title: Common Ground
Fandom: CSI
Disclaimer: Not mine. Don't sue.
Summary: He's used to being with Sara now, and he knows he won't catch her looking at him as though she's afraid he'll shatter. Nick doesn't think he can deal with those looks while he's trying to work a case.
Previous: Curtain Call, Strings, Fear.


( Common Ground )

Continued here.

Title: Fear
Fandom: CSI
Disclaimer: Not mine. Don’t sue.
Summary: Sequel to Curtain Call and Strings. “Hey, Sara,” he says after a few minutes’ silence, “what’re you afraid of?”


( Fear )

Continued here.

Title: Strings
Fandom: CSI
Disclaimer: Not mine. Don’t sue.
Summary: Sequel to Curtain Call. Nick likes the feel of smooth, freshly-sanded wood, when it still leaves a bit of dust on his fingers and smells like his grandfather’s workshop.
A/N: How is it that we never heard of this hobby of Nick’s outside of Stalker? Honestly.

( Strings )

Continued here.

Title: Curtain Call
Fandom: CSI
Disclaimer: Not mine. Don’t sue.
Summary: Post Grave Danger. It’s a lie and they both know it, but that’s how this script works. The script for an act called Okay. Nick/Sara friendship.
A/N: This was begun as a one-shot, but there may yet be more to come. If so, it will move past friendship and into Snickers. Just so’s y’all know.
