Well, they did at least try to deal with some of Martin's issues, hence the whole Martin freaking out about loving Danny thing.

Reading over it again, I remembered being annoyed about how things jumped all over. Personally, I think the author would have done better to separate the whole "Happy Hour" plot line and Martin's reaction to the events of the season finale into two different stories. They could have kept them in the same series, but two different fics would have served the integrity of the story flow much better.

As for being vain, don't feel bad. I feel a little cocky tinge about being one of only two people (you and me) whose CSI stories I have ever thought were any good.
