A Year in the Life
2009 as seen from the POV of Captain Jim Brass
- #1 - Letting Go
A different type of Brillows story, this takes place after 9x11 and a very rough case that requires the medicinal application of Balvenie and some honesty.
- #2 - Blood Ties
When an obnoxious organizer drops dead at a science fiction convention, the CSIs find themselves faced with an unusual array of suspects and a genetic mystery. On the home front, Lindsey is on a weekend field trip, and Brass and Catherine take advantage of their unexpected freedom.
- #3 - 99 Bottles of Beer on the
Wall...
Brass, Catherine, Lindsey and a somewhat unwilling Ellie take an impromptu family "vacation", and run into trouble in a little town called Jackpot.
- #4 - Touch Type
A pure fluff piece about Brass's introduction to the wonderful world of instant messaging. The Crime Lab may never be the same again...
- #5 - It Catches Up To You
An open murder investigation pits Brass against a vengeful husband, and Wendy Simms is caught in the crossfire.
Other Stories
- A Friendly Wager
Age and treachery will always overcome youth and innocence. In other words, Brass is perfectly happy to cheat if there's a lap dance in the offing. Rated NC-17.
- Hindsight
Over Scotch, Brass explains to Catherine how he met Rita Nettles. Spoilers for "Hog Heaven."
- How They Do It
Ever wonder how the lab rats get their results so quickly? Finally, the answers are revealed!
- Negotiations
With the departure of Grissom, Sara and Warrick, the writers need a new focus of Unresolved Sexual Tension on the show, so they ask for volunteers. Mwahahahahahaha...
- Workman's Comp
An offscreen "what happened next" scene set after Brass reads Catherine the riot act in 9x22. Spoilers for "The Gone Dead Train."
