Why This Must Be Read: This story takes place after the series finale. Dani ends up back at work before Crews and gets partnered up with Seevers. I really enjoyed Dani's interaction with Seevers and the slow realization of her feelings for Crews. The voices in this story are perfectly done and it makes me miss this show something awful.

Why This Must Be Read: The shower scene in the Pilot episode was one of the first defining moments in Crews and Reese's partnership, and this fic takes that further by showing the next four times Crews and Reese also showered together. Wonderfully written, this is something I would have dearly loved to have seen on screen.

Why This Must Be Read: This fic wonderfully shows the issues and the broken places that both Dani and Charlie have and try to hide. Also, it's sexy as all hell.

Rating/Warning(s): R-ish / sex
Genre: Humor, Romance
WIP?: No

Why This Must Be Read: The banter in this story is just so spot on. If Reese and Crews had ever hooked up on the show I can imagine it happening something like this.

“I’ve seen you naked.”

“If you don’t shut up, Crews, I swear to God…”

Rating/Warning(s): R/M for sexiness. Spoilers for both seasons.
Genre: Post-ep, friendship, romance, outside pov.
WIP?: Currently in-progress.

Why This Must Be Read: I think the thing I like most about this story is how different it is from actually watching the show. It's a inter-connected series of (eventually) seven stories that are all told from non-Reese and non-Crews points of view. This is outsiders looking in at the two main leads and I love how deft the author is at giving us bits and pieces of the characters she's writing along with bits and pieces of Reese and Crews. The author is also doing a phenomenal job of writing differently for each of her characters. In the last segment (5), Ted felt like Ted and that was completely different than Tidwell (6) and Bodner (7). This is an amazing story, and I can't wait to read the rest of it.

Fic Title: "Scratching an Itch"

Rating/Warning(s): M (explicit sex)
Genre: Romance/General
WIP?: No

Why This Must Be Read: Recently, I discovered "Life" and went on search for something Crews/Reese, since this pairing intrigued me right from the beginning because of their issues and their wonderful screwdness. When I found this story, I found exactly what I was looking for. Strong prose, vivid imagery, someone who managed to capture both Crews and Reese perfectly in their imperfection, insecurity and the complicated relationship they have with each other. I don't read much stories with really explicit sex scenes, but the ones in this story were perfectly fitting the plot, artfully described and a pleasure to read. The tension between Crews and Reese is delightful and you just have to read on an on, straight until the end, to see if they manage to rescue each other from themselves. 

There's also a sequel, "Past, Present and Perfection" which picks up some time later, to show how things have progressed between them. It's a bit lighter than the previous one but still very much in character and a joy to read, just as its predecessor.
