Yuletide Stories: Pride, In the Flesh, Looking, Edge of Tomorrow
Super super late, but alas: I'm finally getting around to posting the stories I wrote for Yuletide this year. It was my first Yuletide and I had so much fun - I actually wrote five stories, two for my recipient and three treats. Hopefully I will be able to top this next year!

Summary: The bar is not one of his usual places - he picked it because he did not feel like talking to the other regulars, or running into a friend, just wanted to nurse his drink and his heartache in solitude. Of course, it can never be that easy.
PS. On a different note: Leave it up to me to watch Criminal Minds for five years and then get the sudden urge to write CM fic when the show is in its 10th season and no one cares anymore. But, if anyone wants to prompt me for Hotch/Reid, Rossi/Reid, Reid&Prentiss or Reid&Blake, I'll be grateful for suggestions in what direction to channel those bouts of creativity!
