ficmix: dark red bloodstreams

Mar 20, 2011 20:53

You know how when most people make ficmixes, the little drabbles they include are actually drabbles? Like, they're short? I CANNOT DO THAT. WHY AM I INCAPABLE OF WRITING THINGS THAT ARE SHORT. Case in point: this, and also the Skandar/Georgie/Will P. thing that I'm still working on, which has exploded into 20k+ and still isn't finished. D ( Read more... )

WHOA, that was intense! And really brilliant... I especially love how well you hit on how different their reasons are for being drawn to each other - Nathan is excited, furiously excited, thinking of Reid helpless and hurt, tied to a chair and whipped and beaten and drugged against his will, and Reid feels disgust roiling in the base of his belly but he can't stop talking, because the relief he feels from finally voicing his suffering just simply outweighs it. - but how strangely similar also, in them both being tortured outsiders.

Also loved the characterizations of all the other team members- their reactions to Spencer/Nathan all seemed spot-on.

All in all, deliciously twisted and sadly sweet :)

PS: I have actually started DREAMING about Spencer now, thanks to all this TV, and my new fave one-off unsub to pair with Reid is Adam/Amanda, although I'm not really sure how that would work...

OH YEAH. And I haven't listened to the whole mix yet, but I really love the album art, especially the back.

Thank you! I'm glad. ♥ I hope you like the mix when you listen to it.

Thank you!! Intense is good. And yes, it's weird because they do such different things for each other and they have different reasons for doing the things they do, but underneath it all, they just connect and understand each other, so it almost doesn't matter. I really love that, I'm glad it came across that way.

I didn't realise how fascinated I am by the idea of the team members finding out until I started writing it, and then I found it hard to stop!

I TOTALLY SHIP REID/ADAM/AMANDA TOO EVEN THOUGH I HAVE NO IDEA HOW IT WOULD WORK. I have such a bad habit of shipping Reid/unsubs, man. But the show practically encourages it, they're always the ones he ends up having chemistry with...

They always have him getting all protective over the misunderstood teenagers, even if they are also serial killers! There was another one as well that I can't remember right now... oh wait! The arsonist. Although they didn't meet so he didn't have chemistry, but that guy was too busy having chemistry with his sister, anyway :/

Oh yeah! He got seriously in trouble with Hotch for that one, if memory serves.

I was going to mention the guy from Elephant's Memory, too - that one was RIDICULOUS(ly amazing, obvs), it really seemed like he cared more about the guy who was going around shooting people than he did about the people being shot. Just because the guy had been bullied. OH REID. ♥
