Flisty, can I bend your ear for a second?

When writing fic featuring partners of the policing variety, aside from dialogue, do you feel is it best to call them by their last names (as per canon) through the prose, or by first name?

EXAMPLE!

Charlie was eating a banana. Dani turned to him and groaned, "Crews, can you not?"

OR!

Crews was eating a banana. Reese turned to him and groaned, "Crews, can you not?"

1. Havers is a fierce bitch
2. Lynley was a hobo
3. Whatever, Elizabeth George
4. I may be drunk on Pimm's
5. PARTNERZ

Guyse. <3. Seriously.
