A common theme is the solving of difficult cases. Mac Taylor's expertise combined with the OC's unique skills or insights often lead to cracking the toughest of mysteries. For example, the OC might have a special knowledge of a certain culture or technology that helps in the case.
Another possibility is that the OC is a new forensic scientist in the CSI NY team. The fanfiction could focus on how Mac mentors the OC, teaching them the ropes of the job, and how the OC, in turn, challenges Mac's traditional methods with new, innovative techniques.
Another theme is mystery and crime - solving. The sister might get involved in the CSI work that Stella does. This can lead to themes of her learning about forensics, dealing with criminals, and helping to solve cases. For example, she could have a special talent or knowledge that aids the team.
A common theme is the clash of different forensic techniques. CSI Miami often deals with outdoor and water - related evidence more, due to its location, while CSI NY has to handle evidence in a more urban and high - rise environment. In crossovers, they have to find a way to combine these methods. For instance, when dealing with a crime scene that has elements of both cities.
One great CSI NY Mac and Stella fanfic is 'Love in the Lab'. It beautifully portrays their relationship within the context of the CSI work environment. The story focuses on how they support each other during tough cases and gradually realize their deeper feelings.
One common theme is growth. Both the OC and Taylor often experience personal growth as a result of their relationship. They learn from each other and become better versions of themselves.
One common trope is the 'Partners in Crime' (not in a bad way but in solving crimes). They are always shown working closely together, relying on each other's expertise. For example, Mac's scientific knowledge and Stella's intuition often combine to crack cases.
One possible plotline could be a crime - solving adventure where Mac and Christine work together closely. They might face a particularly difficult case that tests their skills and their relationship, leading to a deeper understanding and respect for each other.
A common theme is the display of friendship and loyalty. When Lindsay is shot, her colleagues show their deep - seated loyalty by working tirelessly to find the person responsible. Another theme is the exploration of vulnerability. Lindsay, who is usually strong in the show, is now in a very vulnerable state, and this can be used to explore different aspects of her character.
A common element is the combination of different investigative techniques. For instance, if it's a crossover with 'Bones', the CSI NY characters might learn new forensic anthropology methods from the 'Bones' team. Another element could be the clash of personalities. Characters from different shows have their own quirks and ways of doing things, which can create interesting drama in the fanfiction.
One common theme is the outsider's perspective. Since the OC is new, they often see things in the CSI New York world that the regular characters might miss. Another theme is friendship. As the OC tries to fit in, they form new bonds with the existing team members.
