Really? Is that what it's called?

[bowie28]

Well, yes, Sherlock Holmes and Criminal Minds have something in common. Aside from the fact that SH is basically CM in Victorian England, the two male leads also seem to be a little bit in love with each other.

"What were you doing just now?"

Flushed, Reid said, "Thinking. Trying to make sense of the crime scenes. What Sherlock Holmes called

Thank you! This was awesome. And I swear that Hotch was flirting with Reid over the Holmes stuff. Flirting, I tell you. No, really, there was flirting. I'm convinced.

Why yes, I can see the slash everywhere, why do you ask?

Oh, and I agree with you about not being ready to see Hotch smile in the current godawful, horrible episode. Although his smile seemed more like a forced grimace at times. There was just so much bad about that episode -- what did they do to our loved characters? A note to TPTB: if you want us to care about the new characters, don't make charactertures out of the old characters

Flirting! And I thought I was seeing things, lol. Yeah, I almost thought the first time around that it was out of character for Hotch to being that casual with his subordinates, but then again, it was back when Hotch's marriage was fairly intact and Gideon was still there to take the "mentor" role with Reid, so Hotch can just be... I don't know... a coworker... who flirts with another coworker? You don't see that happening with Prentiss, do you? LOL (Wait until you see what happened in the second book, haha. No, nothing discriminating, sadly. Just a short, weird exchange that could be interpreted in our slash heart's favor, lol.) I'll get those up tomorrow or something. ^_

I re-read it again. I still see flirting. I mean, it's subtle flirting (Hotch-like flirting), but there's flirting there. And he's making sure Reid is alright (and telling him that he knew Reid wouldn't let him down). And continuing to make references to Sherlock Holmes that only Reid knew the context of. Yep, flirting. That's my story and I'm sticking to it

it's subtle flirting (Hotch-like flirting)
*snort*

and i second the potential greatness of the cm/sh comm.

[bowie28]

I need to have Hotch and Reid and Holmes and Watson all hanging out in Baker Street (I have this scene in my head where Hotch and Watson are talking while Holmes and Reid play chess. I also have a snippet with Reid and Holmes over Holmes' chemistry set).

Oh God, that sounds delicious already! I can totally see Watson bitching talking about Holmes with Hotch and Holmes making blatant observations on Reid's perpetual, not so subtle crush on his handsome boss, lol. I mean if there's what you're going for, it would EPIC.

I wish I could maintain a comm, but realistically I would make a horrible mod because my job could take over my life at anytime. :P

Speaking of which, I must away for said job. I will be back as soon as it's over. :D

PS. Oh, the "scans" are coming. ^_^

Okay, I've actually started to write it. I'm a terribly slow writer (with a life-consuming job too -- I'll be working on Sunday, oh goody), so I'm not making any promises on speed. But yeah, it's started.

I can't believe I'm doing this.

I think I'm planning to have Hotch and Reid already involved in a relationship, but Holmes and Watson dancing around one (and Holmes being all sorts of bitchy because in 1888 (the Ripper year), Watson was just about to get married (although trying to pin down a timeline in SH is like attempting to hit a target strapped to the back of a cat being chased by a dog, or something like that). But yeah, there's going to be a lot of bitching talking by Watson about Holmes and observations by Holmes about Reid (and Hotch

Just posted book 2 stuff. Enjoy. :D

Ooh, thanks for these! And really, how much *squee* is there that they sent Reid in to wake up sleeping Hotch. That's just pure *squee* Really, I loved that.

This story actually seemed quite interesting. I'm definitely considering ordering the books (and adding H/R scenes to them in my mind).

[bowie28]

What I wanted to know was that why in the world Reid would know that, that Hotch had gone to sleep and in detail what Hotch had said? XD

It's interesting that in this book the themes of "bed" and "sleep" seem to be revolving around Hotch and Reid, lol.

Aghhh, someone needs to write these missing scenes.
