abuseSince I'm not really sure how often I'll be able to contact you, I thought I should leave you a (hopefully) lovely review.
Beautiful chapter and nice work with the use of flowers as a metaphor *thumbs up*. There was realistic interaction between the characters and yay, just yay for the GCR.
Your insight into Grissom is perfect (take that CSI writers) and like many others, I'm sure, I really like how you present the differences in his views of Catherine and Sara.
The last scene was sad but ... relieving. Trust me, Sara, it'll get better (especially for Grissom and Catherine XD). The part where Grissom recites poetry to her? Ouch but it was a Grissom thing to do. Had to happen sooner or later, right?
Awesome chapter again and dude seriously, you don't need reviews to tell you this is awesome :).

abuseOkay, first off, I want to apologize for taking so horribly long to review. I have been meaning to for weeks now, and just got around to it.

Secondly, thanks for thanking me! It's always cool to see one's name on the screen when it's not concerning one's own story. :)

And thirdly, the part we (or at least you) have been waiting for: the review.

The "ass" conversation made me laugh, and it didn't seem at all forced, like it could have been. In fact, that whole scene was refreshingly humorous, yet it didn't change the tone of the story.

And again, his contrasting views of Catherine and Sara were written superbly. *sigh* If only we could all master the thoughts of the enigmatic Grissom as well as you.

Okay, honestly, Sara's thoughts concerning their relationship made me gag. But, sadly, they sounded in-character and realistic in their disgusting naivety, and nearly made me feel sorry for her. Nearly being the key word there.

Needless to say, Grissom's last line - I love that he phrased it poetically - made me very happy. I'm glad he finally told her.

Great chapter, as always, and I will be looking forward to the next one.

abusewow...

you made me go through emotions.

this was pretty well written and i love it a lot. being a g/c shipper with all my heart this made my day.

and hopefully someday the writers of csi see that they are kinda going down the drain right now.

yeah, i can only hope. and i'm glad that i'm not alone with that =)

abuseI've decided that this tomfoolery has go on long enough- here be the review.
The language is beautiful (I'll say it again beautiful) and as usual your characterization is perfect (do you ever have trouble with characterization? Aah, I'm so jealous). Like another reviewer said, this chapter doesn't seem cluttered and it doesn't have unnecessary descriptions. The tension in the atmosphere is palpable and I love how you let us into Grissom's mind, you let us sympathize with him so well. When the gap between her tooth came up, I remembered that I had a gap between my teeth and I was like 'Eww Gross!'. Heh what do you call Grissom after the season finale? Gross Grissom, yeah okay that was lame.
It was interesting to see the comparisons between Catherine and Sara, how torn up Grissom must be. I especially enjoyed you showing that what he felt for Cath was genuine and natural but there was something wrong with what happened with Sara (ha! Take that Mendelson, even your characters know what's wrong).
And ah, that's why the fic is called 'Seesaw', nice job on the symbolism. I suppose the next chapter is going to be the climax :).
Fantastic job :D. By the way, can I please pimp you on my profile? Because 'The Tales of Grissom's Undergarments' and that note to the readers needs more exposure. Please, please?
PS: Get your ass here and write those House fics, I mean really 'Therapeutic Loophole' (oh come on, I told on a friend you were writing spiritual sex ... not, but oh hey, close enough!) along with everything else sounds great. And 'Of Sand and Cigarettes'? Can you be anymore poetic? You have seven hundred words of Wilson/Stacy written and you haven't even posted the excerpt. DUDE X_X!

abuseI really do not want to revisit the *shudders* nightmare that was Way To Go, but this fic is too good to resist. I love the wordplay in the fic, how you effortlessly use words that is so appropriate for the character. I also how you delved into Grissom's psyche. This is really good and I am adding this to my fave authors/stories list.

abuseICK. ICKY ICKY images in that second paragraph...{gag}

But it has nothing to do with you. :D You wrote this chapter brilliantly, believe it or not. Just...second paragraph...{shiver}

Thankfully, your writing in these past two chapters--beta'd or not--has been fairly uncluttered with meaningless descriptions. It's not difficult to get through at all, maybe because it's CSI and not House. :) But of course, that may have nothing to do with it.

And I think one of the reasons I like this story a lot, is because you're reading into both something basic and something complex. He's 'with' one person, but likes another. The complexity you're bringing into it I think involves how Sara is like a little kid, whereas Catherine is a woman. And I'm okay with that, because I've been writing Sara's childhood and maybe this is helping. :D ...okay, that was a joke.

Can't wait until the next chapter, Waffle.

abuseYet again, I will start a review of this story with one word:

Wow.

There was no reason for you to be hesitant about this chapter - well, at least in my opinion. But I hope it helps. :)

The regret, confusion, frustration, irony...it's all here, written superbly and with talent.

I hope you post the next chapter soon! I definitely look forward to it.
