CSI:NY fic: Bardverse

I'm trying to make myself write at least a little bit of Bardverse every week -- just a snapshot, probably all post-Bloody Sunday. This one takes place shortly before "Drought."



When his phone rang sometime around three in the morning, Mac had enough time to say, "Detective Tay --" before Angell's voice cut him off.

"D.J. Pratt's dead," she said. "I'd cry, but I somehow can't bring myself to care. Funny how that works, isn't it?"

"Where?" Mac said, sitting up. He'd drifted off on top of a pile of job appications, possible new CSIs to replace Aiden. As far as homicide liaisons went, he was already covered. He'd seen to that even before Flack's transfer papers crossed his desk.

Angell gave him the address. "I wouldn't have bothered you, only you said anything involving Pratt be rerouted to you immediately. Lindsay and Hawkes are already on the scene."

"I'll be there as soon as possible," MAc assured her. After she'd hung up, he dialed another number, listening to the line ring once, twice, three times before the other end picked up and Stella said groggily, "Yeah?"

"Stella, I need you to take a couple uniforms and pick up Aiden Burn for murder."

"Stella?" Aiden said uncomprehendingly, staring at her. She was in pajama pants and a long-sleeved Barnard t-shirt, thick black hair in tangles around her face. Stella wasn't looking deliberately, but she couldn't help noticing that Aiden had one hand behind the doorframe, out of sight.

"You're under arrest," Stella said finally, after Aiden had stared at her for a good two minutes, waiting.

Aiden's eyebrows flew upward and her chin lowered slightly. "What?"

"Turn around and put your hands behind your back, "Stella said, taking her cuffs off her hip.

"For what?" She put her gun down on the small table by the door -- "That's loaded, Detective," she added coldly, nodding towards it. "You have a charge?"

"The murder of D.J. Pratt. You have the right to remain silent --"

"That bastard's dead?" Aiden said, glancing over her shoulder. "Good." She took in the uniforms Stella'd brought with her, eyebrows still raised. "And obviously I'm Mac's first suspect. You can tell him he can go to hell."

Nearly all crime shows always put their heroes on the side of right (except Numb3rs with my favorite character, which trust me, I will soon be remedying if I ever get around to writing that fic), which is why I had to write LaMontaine.

Hopefully they don't do the same thing with Danny and Adam and the S3 finale, because that would suck and Danny's hand.

I have Aiden on the mind because I just wrote her. *sigh* And it's like fandom forgot about her, too -- can you believe that Lindsay has been on the show longer than Aiden? Creepy.

Seriously, it's too good to pass up. They have to use it somehow.

I'm sure they'll at least mention it, but god, they could do so much with it... Danny's hand making it difficult to go back to work, Danny and Lindsay growing closer (or, y'know, farther, as Danny pushes her away because he's afraid she'll get hurt if she stays close to him, cause everyone else has! Aiden, Flack, etc), Danny and Adam having a bond in the lab that no one else has, because of what they went through together...

I miss Aiden. I'm thinking of getting my hair cut in that same style that she has, actually.

*laughs* Let's hope!

*crosses fingers* C'mon, CBS! I have...well, I have a teeny tiny bit of faith in you. You know, that finale would actually have been a great lead-in to Season X, because you have Danny being insecure about his job security...

Alas, Aiden.

I still think you need to send Season X to the CBS people. Who knows, maybe they'll use it and then call you and be like "HEY, COME WORK FOR US". Okay, not likely, but, y'know. :D

HA. So far what I've written of Season X involves Danny shooting people.

[identity profile] limmenel.livejournal.com 2007-06-14 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
I approve of this concept.

Good, because that's about all I've got as far as Season X goes.

Well, I mean, the crime lab solving crime interspersed with Danny shooting people.

[identity profile] limmenel.livejournal.com 2007-06-14 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
Of course. But always with Danny shooting people. Because, um, yeah. That could be really hot, and also so, so very awesome.

I feel slightly bored. This probably means I'm minutes away from being coerced into posting the pieces of this fic.

[identity profile] limmenel.livejournal.com 2007-06-14 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
HEY. YEAH, YOU. YOU SHOULD POST SOME OF THIS FIC. C'MON, YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO!

I'd post the first part of my Dresden Files fic in exchange, if that was of any interest to you...

All I know of the Dresden Files is what I've read on the backcovers of the novels in the bookstore, which looked decent, but which I was reluctant to spend money on.

Okay, typing...now!

[identity profile] limmenel.livejournal.com 2007-06-14 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
I have all of the Dresden novels as e-books (except the most recent one, which came out in April, I think), if you're interested. Apparently, they're very good, though I haven't read them yet. The TV show is awesome, though, and brilliant.

Huh, maybe. They looked interesting, and, well, you know me. Magic and crime and detectives. I'm easy.

It's about a wizard named Harry from Chicago. And his wand? IS A HOCKEY STICK. I mean, come on, that right there wins about a million bonus points.

It's really funny and sarcastic, too. The actor who plays Harry in the show is fantastic. The books are different, though, in a number of ways...

Oooh. Yeah, the narrative didn't seem too bad. (Me: pickiest reader ever.) When the series out on DVD?

[identity profile] limmenel.livejournal.com 2007-06-14 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
I have no idea when the series will be on DVD... not very soon, I would guess. The show aired in January, and ran 13 episodes. Oh, hey, amazon.com is saying August 7 (http://www.amazon.com/Dresden-Files-Complete-First-Season/dp/B000QUEQ4U/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/105-5997096-4997215?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1181793850&sr=1-1), which surprises me, but cool. $30 is a little much for a half-season on DVD, though, so I might have to try to find it on sale for $20 or less, or just live with my illegalities.

Ah, I see. I'll wait till Hollywood gets it or it's on sale or something, then.
