The Occasional Shortness of Breath

[travelinthedark]

Marriage/Ring!fic is my bulletproof kink, and I decided I was totally going to write something of the sort, but apparently I am incapable of writing fic where characters are declaring their love for one another and being shmoopy all over the place, so it ended up being sketched out as Hotch slowly convincing suspicious!Reid that they should get

Mmm, I love this. This, yes, this is definitely the best elevator ride ever.

Also, marriage/ring!fic is one of my biggest kinks, so yeah. I'm definitely going to send some encouraging vibes.

i'm working on the marriage/ring!fic, and i have several thousand words, but i swear to god reid is being the least cooperative character ever... i'm almost tempted to resort to drunken vegas wedding fic just to put him in his place.

that probably sounds odd...

[vanessasquest]

He was raised in Vegas... he'd never get caught in a tourist trap. XD

[travelinthedark]

oooh snap! that is an excellent point. but then again there's the power of tequila, which (in my experience) sends all reason out the window.

and also, i would never actually write vegas wedding fic for h/r. they're way too smart for that. it was more of a mental threat to make them behave in a more believable marriage!fic.

but you schooled me. well played, my friend. well played.

Eeee! My, my, I love confident Reid. Thanks for writing this. All the 'creative changes' BS really got everyone down. Looking forward to the aggressive!Hotch story. :D

[travelinthedark]

first- i am incredibly pissed about the aj cook / paget brewster thing, because it's complete crap.

second- when i searched my scrivener files i found 980 words of this already written in january, which is why it feels completely different than whatever i'm writing now and why it took like, 9.8 seconds to 'write.'

third- i doubt i'll be writing posting any sort of fic for a while, because rl sucks and aggressive!hotch fic, professor!hotch & librarian!reid AU, marriage!fic, and ridiculous ncis crossover are all hovering around at 5,000 words each, and at least one of them needs to be finished... so. there's that.

but also <3 because you are awesome.

I love this. Love it. But then I too have such a kink for confident!Reid. And sexually!confident!Reid is totally, totally hot. Totally hot.

I would love to read the marriage fic. A lot. I'll tell you what -- you encourage me on the Epic Crossover, I'll encourage you on the marriage fic. And we'll owe each other cookies (real cookies) when we're done).

Btw, your posts still don't show up on my friend's page. I wonder why that is... and it's pretty damn strange and annoying.

The whole AJ and Paget thing is just sickening and upsetting and depressing and sucks. (and is included in a rant I left on my LJ freaking out about home and work and fandom -- yeah, the convergence of everything stressed me out big time). The whole situation is just so wrong. And it seems that both of them were completely blindsided by the news. WTF, CBS? Grrr....

But I loved this fic, btw. And it made me feel better. Thank you.

i wrote this a while ago which is why it's like... super aggressive reid, which i don't really think i even could write anymore.

and it's totally a deal- as soon as i figure out how the hell the marriage fic is going to work... epic crossover is v. important, though, so i am all about the encouragement.

but yes, thank you. and i'll try to figure out the friends thing... i don't know why it's doing that.

This is very nice. I love aggressive Spencer!

[travelinthedark]
