delga | One way or another I'm gonna find ya, I'm gonna getcha, I'll getcha

Damn me and my shipper heart. Serious to god, I've only seen half of the first episode of CSI: NY and already I'm shippin' the scene, reading the fic, pontificating etc. (But seriously this fic and this one are so beautiful and angsty).

Stella/Mac reminds me of old-school CJ/Toby when the fic was about long-distance relationships (and never about the wife when, damn, of course, it really WAS about the wife). It's a softer, less bitter version of CJ/Toby, where the cynicism is less linked to transcontinental not-love and more to very old, very true and constant relationships. (That CJ loves California and Toby can't stand it says the world for that ship - my dearest OTP - but Stella and Mac live and love NYC so they're at least in the same world). I don't know if there's more optimism in the S/M ship or if I'm just wishing it there (because, of course, CJ/Toby is totally subtext and in-your-face in a non-in-your-face way) but I'm here and I'm shippy and I'm gonna shake it down...or something.
