01. I think it's time for a friends-cut. It seems like the right time because it's the New Year and all that. If we haven't talked to each other in the last six months but you want to stay, just let me know :) And mistakes do happen so if, when the cut does happen, you think I've removed you accidently, just let me know!

02. I wanted to let people know that I also have a Dreamwidth account. Since LJ has been less than friendly to us lately and I know a lot of people are frequenting there instead now. It's just a mirror of my LJ currently, but I am writing2death over there as well :)

Title: In the Aisles and Between the Pages
Author: writing2death
Beta: magi & wren
Word Count: 6,148 words
Pairing: Hotch/Reid
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Alternate Universe and also an abundance of clichés.
Notes: This is technically my Chirstmas fic for this year. It's kind of more of an After-Christmas fic though, hence the late posting. Thanks to magi for the title ♥
Thanks to wren for the prompt ♥
Summary: In which Reid is a used bookshop owner and not quite content. Hotch kind of knocks him right off kilter.

( The bookshop is small and cramped, squished between a busy coffee shop that gets twice the amount of business it does, and a bakery that doesn't. It's a good place for a used bookstore because people wander over with their morning coffee and browse while they wait for the bus that takes them to work and sometimes the regulars bring Spencer something sweet.Collapse )

Title: the much more necessary learning
Author: writing2death
Word Count: 627 words
Pairing: Merlin/Arthur
Rating: PG
Notes: Written for the lovely magi, because she was having an awful time with exam stress and the like and asked for fluff and kissing. I did my best to deliver. Title is from this quote: Learning is acquired by reading books, but the much more necessary learning, the knowledge of the world, is only to be acquired by reading men, and studying all the various facets of them - Lord Chesterfield. Thanks to peasnbeanstalks for giving this a once-over to make sure there aren't any glaring errors.
Note 2: I haven't seen anything of season four yet :( Please, please don't spoil me in comments ♥
Summary: Merlin has been holed up in the library all day, since seven this morning and it’s beginning to get dark out now. He's starting to look a little insane around the eyes.

Also found at: Ao3

( I feel obligated to tell you that no matter how hard you stare at that textbook, Merlin, it will not implode from eye contact alone.Collapse )

Title: On the Dotted Line
Author: writing2death
Word Count: ~300 words
Pairing: Hotch/Reid
Rating: PG-13
Notes: This was written for the prompt Writing (e-mail and IM; tracing words on skin). Nabbed this from the kink list. Someone do this! Pretty please<3 If the former make it dirty but if the latter make it sweet. Hotch/Reid. on ansera 's kink meme: IV. Originally posted here. Thanks to wren_hightower for the title.
Summary: When Hotch wakes up, he’s surprisingly warm and comfortable

Ahaha. Assuming I get off my lazy bum and actually move everything over there...
Also: why am I always late about these things?

I'm at writing2death and fandoms in the immediate queue include Merlin and Criminal Minds. I wouldn't rule out other fandoms, though. Especially if series two of Sherlock is as wonderful as series one.

So. I've mostly spent my day beta-ing.

While I've been doing that peasnbeanstalks and I have been slowly making our way through the end of Criminal Minds S2 and the beginning of S3.

The elevator scene with Morgana (ETA: and wouldn't that be the strangest crossover ever? I meant Morgan, obviously. I've been writing too much Merlin fic...) and Reid? You know the one I'm talking about.

( and if you don't...Collapse )

It was her first time seeing this scene. What she says (to Hotch):

"He just screamed your name in an elevator! The least you can do is hold him for a while!"

All I can say: Hotch/Reid FTW \o/
