Every story deserves to be told.

Series Title: We Don't Die
Fandom: CSI:NY (alternate universe)
Pairing(s): Mac/Danny, with a few other characters thrown in here and there
Rating: Varies between chapters, but overall I'll say NC-17 for language, violence, and explicit adult content
Warnings:  Blood play, violence, angst, slash (male/male sex), vampirism
Summary:  It's a universe much like our own, except that the Children of the Night aren't just legends. Mac is more familiar with those 'legends' than most of the NYPD. His is a life of loss and suffering and he's headed down a very dark spiral, and those he's closest to all have their own ideas on how to save him. It's a new twist on an old legend as well as a whole new way at looking at some of our favorite characters. It gets dark, violent, bloody, funny, cute, often romantic and always thoughtful, and of course, so freaking hot.
Disclaimer: I don't own them (shame). I make no money from the writing of this piece. Characters are the property of Anthony Zuiker, Jerry Bruckheimer Television, CBS, and Alliance Atlantis. I don't own any of the songs or song lyrics I post, either.
Author's note: It's a story I've been puttering with for a while, and I've got about 25 chapters lined up though most are incomplete. Anybody who knows me knows that I'm not one to blow my own horn in any sense of the phrase, but I think this story's gonna be one of the most powerful ones I've ever written. I got the idea by reading numerous vampire and supernatural fanfics, and just about every time, it's Danny that's the supernatural one and Mac that's the stodgy human who's gonna get his world turned upside down, so I decided to do something different.
   I should warn you, there's going to be a lot of heavy emotion coming. A lot of it's not going to be very pleasant, but then again, what are vampires if not Angst Magnets? It's also a bit of catharsis in itself, as a way of helping me come to terms with some of my own past traumas. For those of you who suffer from occasional bouts of depression like me... don't let this get to you. Just let it help you feel better when it's all over. There's funny and heartwarming and gut-heating moments, too.
