I'm crawling through these two fandoms at snails' pace. My general fandom glee seems to have wilted of late. I can't seem to muster up my YAAAAYYYY!!! factor. Still enjoying the feel of shiny new fandoms, though. There's something about picking through fic which is entirely new and finding that one genuine diamond amongst the piles of cubic zirconium.

Anyway, here's some recs.

Criminal Minds

What Goes Around by Rushlight, Amy, Diagonalist, and Gin. Reid/Gideon.

Gideon introduces Reid to the wonders of socialization, among other things.

Beautifully written. Thank you, snowpuppies for rec'ing this to me in the first place.


My Lonely Heart by Rushlight. Reid/OMC, Reid/Gideon.

Reid's new boyfriend turns out to be anything but the man of his dreams.

Please read the fic warnings on this one.


A Rock and a Hard Place by Rushlight. Reid/Hotch.

Reid and Hotch are kidnapped during the course of an investigation.

Reid gets kidnapped a lot in this fandom, doesn't he? Poor woobie. No warning on this one, but I think there should be. I don't want to give anything away, but watch out for the non-con sorta. You can beat me around the head later for that, but I'd rather not be responsible for anyone reading something that might upset. Great fic.


Misdirection by Miriam Heddy. Reid/Gideon.

Read and Gideon talk

I love Reid in this. I could hear his voice co clearly.


NCIS

Rictus by Sequitor.

This is the story of how Gibbs met Tony. It's long and plotty with spot-on characterisation. It's a hard fic to read because of the subject matter being dealt with, which is the investigation of the rape and murder of several children in Baltimore. Very unpleasant and the fic itself has a very gritty feel to it. Brilliant, and I completely believe this is how Gibbs and Tony met. It's technically gen, but if you squint (which I do permanently now anyway) it can be easily read as pre-slash.

Yes, folks, it's picspam time again. Today we have the lovely Spencer Reid from Criminal Minds and the purpose of this picspam is to enlighten my flist to the woobie delights of this show and its star (IMO). Those of you who already watch the show ... shame on you for not emailing me to ask WHY AREN'T YOU WATCHING THIS?!

Yes, I am a new viewer. I began watching season 1 two weeks ago when I decided I needed to see this show before I meet Nicholas Brendon in October. Oh noes, I thought, I'll have to sit through three seasons of drivel before I get to the good stuff. As you will see from the pictures under the cut, I could not have been more wrong ...

( Let the woobiness begin! )

Meeting of the Minds by lusty_daydreams -- Sheppard/McKay/Reid

John and Rodney meet a young genius in an FBI bar. Star Trek quizzes and smut.

Thank you, darkhavens for this rec. I LOVE it. Brilliantly written, in-character, hot. It don't get no better than that, folks.

I finished watching season 6 of NCIS this week and my reaction is as follows: Eeeep!

Under the cut is a slightly more detailed reaction:

( Eeep etc etc )

And now for some fic pimps

A Thousand Miles (Mend What is Broken) by chatona -- Gibbs/DiNozzo

“I want you to come home, Tony.”

This was originally rec'd to me by motschekiebchen who was one of the many people people who responded to my plea for NCIS recs (and thank you, btw, to everyone who commented with what were some brilliant fics). Anyway, why should you read this one? Because it's beautifully written. Simples!

Tony's Dry Spell by xanthestories -- Gibbs/DiNozzo

Tony finds out the *real* reason for his recent lack of hot sex.

This is a tag fic to Ep 6x18 Knockout, and it's total crack. Very funny. Also, within this here fic, the author explains one of the biggest mysteries surrounding the entire show. I totally buy it. Do you?

That's it for recs, and I would like to end this post on a slight change of subject. My post-NCIS telly-watching project is Criminal Minds. I am nine eps into season 1. OMG, REID!!! NEW WOOBIE!!!! ~huggles him~ I'm loving the father and son thing going on between him and Gideon. But who to slash him with ...? Wait, do I have to slash everyone? Yeah, pretty much.
