Why This Must Be Read:

This is my favourite Lilly/Scotty fic because it takes SO MUCH TIME for them to get together. There's such delicious pining and slow build -- Lilly is with Eddie Saccardo for much of this and Scotty watches from a distance (angst and UST, yesss) -- and the whole thing is just wonderfully in character. There's also a fantastic case woven throughout, and a little Kat Miller/Nick Vera background pairing. The author does such great justice to all of the characters, highlighting everything I love about them and about Cold Case in general.

This fills the pining square on my bingo card.



'T'is the Season, by Henabrey (Cold Case, Lilly/Scotty, T)

Fandom Category: Cold Case
Pairing: Lilly Rush/Scotty Valens
Fic Title: 'T'is the Season
Author: Henabrey
Link: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3753985/1/Tis_The_Season
Rating/Warning(s): T (language, particularly chapter 9)
Genre: case fic, UST/romance
WIP?: No

Why This Must Be Read: My favourite fics are long, plotty case!fics (or A/A, depending on the fandom) with a side order of UST leading to romance. And this fic? Delivers in spades. Lilly and Scotty are drawn into a two-year-old murder of a homeless man known only as Nicholas/Santa Claus, who, despite having been known by those around him for only three weeks, had the ability to change lives for the better. The case is detailed and well planned out, the UST is delicious, and the original characters are so wonderfully written you can picture each and every one of them. Seriously, one of my favourite lines comes from a nameless OC who's only present for a handful of paragraphs. Oh, and there's mistletoe. Lots 'n' lots of mistletoe, enough to push Lilly over the edge. *g* (That being said, it's not really a Christmas fic, given the case and the fact that each chapter is the title of a Christmas carol.) Just over 70K words.
