Criminal Minds

It appears that I haven't posted here since March. Oops. I've been mostly hanging out in comms or on Twitter. Anyway, a few of us on Twitter were looking for a place to talk about Criminal Minds. That's what this post is for! I'm on mobile so I'll pretty it up later but in the meanwhile if you're a CM fan feel free to jump right in. I have a couple of things I want to discuss that I'll bring up in comments.

Seriously? Seven seasons in and there's no good fic? How can this be? There is so much stuff just in canon to work with! Addictions, abuse, torture, kidnapping, grief, buddies, flirting galore, fascinating characters, pretty boys, awesome girls...WHERE IS THE FIC?

This is a series where the geeky, awkward, self conscious nerd is played by a male model for heaven's sake!

So here's my theory on why Morgan calls Reid 'Pretty Boy.' working just with what we seen screen and assuming no relationship between them, why would he call him that? It's not sarcastic, in Reid's most frightened and vulnerable moment he calls him that. I think he doesn't because Reid has full confidence in his brain. He's always admired and appreciated for that. But he's socially awkward. Beautiful women have hit on him (they aren't blind and stupid after all) but it doesn't seem to have registered with him that he's physically very attractive.

It can't have helped that he was probably out of undergraduate school before he even fully entered puberty. He had to deal with his dysfunctional home. He had to time or opportunity to really explore any kinds of relationships. We don't even know for sure his sexual orientation, Im not convinced he's sure himself. So getting back to the point, I think Morgan does it to,remind Reid that he's more than just a brain.

I have so much love for this show!!! The show, the cast, the characters, everything around it.
I don't even wanna imagine what would have happened if the fanprotests last year wouldn't have been successful, maybe they'd have removed even more castmembers. But now everything is back to awesomeness.

I love Morgan and Reid (and I also start slipping in the RPS part that are MGG and Shemar already again, somehow RPS always gets me ;) and I love how the show is not only about the cases but there is so much backstory they keep bringing up.

Yeah anyway, I need more good Morgan/Reid fic (and I take MGG/Shemar fic anyday too)
Just look at all the Morgan and Reid moments, Season 7 is FULL with subtle hints and I love the writers for it!

Just a few totally random moments (not all Season 7) that has Morgan and Reid look at each other in such a close kinda of way, even though those aren't even supposed to be M/R moments on the show.

This one you hardly even catch while watching, I only saw it in screencaps how close they look here:

This one, is from the first ep in S7 and again, Reid turns around and their eyes just get drawn towards each other again (click for bigger):

And one of my fave eps ever, Amplification, the way Reid says "I'm worry" to Morgan, and how Morgan worries and is the one by his side later in the hospital just ♥

There's so much more, but I stop spamming for now ;D

First, I just checked out Fanfic.net and they have over 17,000 fics listed. I haven't read any so can't verify quality.

I agree that Reid hasn't really explored his own sexuality yet. I'd love to see him either w/ Morgan or someone strong (like a firefighter, maybe)?

I started watching the show on reruns, then became hooked like I am now.

I loved this exchange between Rossi and a cop:

Cop: "Where did you find this kid?"
Rossi: "He was left in a basket on the steps of the FBI."

Not a Criminal Minds fan, but it's sure nice to see that you're still around!

Although I do enjoy a good Hotch/Reid fic, my absolute favorite pairing is Reid/Rossi. There were several fantastic stories written a couple of years ago (Myrna 1_2_3 and Innerslytherin and Severity_softly immediately come to mind) but then enthusiasm for this pairing seemed to fade out.

Another good quote:

Reid: "Do I look twelve years old to you?"
Gideon: "fourteen?"
