Author: rowena_dawson
Rating: FRT/PG-13
Pairings/Characters: A lot of different ones including but not limited to: Morgan/Reid, Garcia/Hotch, Hotch/Reid and Jack+Hotch
Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters. I just play with them.
Spoilers: None
Author's Note: Ugh. This kicked my butt. All my creative juices are gone. I wrote the pairings in order before I heard the song, so...yeah, extra hard and extremely intense.
1. Pick a character, fandom, pairing, friendship, whatever.
2. Put on your music program on shuffle/random and start playing songs.
3. For each song, write something inspired by the song related to the theme you chose earlier. You only have the song length. No pre-planning and no writing after the song is over. No skipping songs either.
4. Do 10 songs and post. Make sure to include the song name/artist.
Hotch/Reid, slash
Move Along, All American Rejects
He wasn’t supposed to be there. He had snuck into his house to surprise him.
Reid watched as Hotch packed. His ties, his coats, his shirts, his socks…He didn’t know Reid was home yet, Reid had approached slowly enough that he was now peering in.
That’s when Hotch looked up.
Reid’s eyes teared up.
Hotch opened his mouth to speak.
Reid shook his head and shut the door.
Just keep on moving on, Hotch. Maybe one day you’ll realize you can’t keep running away, Reid thought silently and slammed the door behind him.
Morgan/Reid, slash
Beautiful Boy, John Lennon
Morgan would never tell Reid that he watched him as he slept. He would stay up at night, and watch his beautiful boy sleep. The moonlight would hit his curls just right. His mouth stirred in sleep; reciting numbers even in his sleep.
The monsters would come at night, even though Reid insisted that he was okay. Morgan knew because he would curl up against him in his sleep, clutching him, like a baby boy.
He was in love with him. He was so utterly doomed.

Defying Gravity, Wicked
“Why Reid?”
“Because.”
“Reid. This isn’t funny.”
“Did I say it was?”
The genius looked up at him. His face determined, not shy like the man he knew.
“I want to. Hotch, this is what I want.”
“But…musical theatre?” He was confused beyond belief. His youngest agent had just confessed that the BAU was no longer where he wanted to be. Instead, he had Broadway dreams.
“I’ve always wanted this. It…makes me stop thinking. It clears my mind.”
Hotch shook his head sadly.
“I care for you, Reid. If this is what you want, I can’t stop you.”
“Thank you. I…I am going to miss you.”
“I’m going to miss you too.”
And Hotch couldn’t ever explain the emotions running through him.
Garcia/Hotch, het
Blue Eyes, Cary Brothers
The movie flickered on the screen, but she wasn’t watching it. She was too busy languishing in the thought that she was here, cuddled next to Hotch.
And he was watching her too. His eyes sparkled happily.
“I…I just want to be with you,” she said, feeling extremely corny afterward.
Hotch smiled.
“I just want to be with you too.”
“But…I, I’m not…” She looked down at her frame.
His face crinkled up in disgust and he kissed her nose.
“Don’t say it Penelope. You are beautiful.”
“With you.”
“Always.”
Hotch, Jack
The Remedy (I Won’t Worry) by Jason Mraz
“I like car rides.”
“Me too, Jack.”
They were traveling down the freeway en route to see Haley’s mother. She wanted to see him for the holidays and he wasn’t going to keep him from seeing family. He didn’t want his son to be deprived.
Jack was bouncing happily in his car seat, but Hotch on the other end; was stressed. How would she react? How would everything turn out?
“What’s the matter, Daddy?”
“What buddy?”
“You look…sad.”
He caught his breath.
“I’m worried, Jack.”
“About what?”
“About seeing Grandma. I wasn’t exactly nice to her before.”
Jack thought for a moment.
“It’s all going to be okay, Daddy. I’ll be there with you.”
And it was all he needed to hear.
Garcia, J.J., friendship
Wondering, Good Charlotte
Garcia didn’t ask why J.J. came in late three days in a row. She didn’t ask why she had stopped receiving calls from Will at work. She didn’t ask why she wouldn’t talk to anyone about her personal life. She didn’t ask about the bags under her eyes.
She didn’t even hack into her system.
But she did go to her office, which J.J. had shut. She did see the eyeliner running. Garcia did wordlessly go over and wrapped her arms around her in a hug that said it all.
It said, I’m here for you.
Morgan/Reid, slash
In The Waiting Line, Zero 7
He saw the way he stared at him from across the bullpen. He knew that the darker man didn’t know this, so he just tucked it into his memory. He caught stolen glances and worried looks after tough cases.
There were also Garcia’s comments when she hacked into the BAU’s security cameras…
It wasn’t that he wasn’t interested. Hell no. Morgan was, well, perfect. He was this protective and extremely well-built man whom Reid suspected was really a teddy bear. He was, almost too good to be true.
Just thinking about the other man, got Reid blushing profusely.
He would wait though, be logical. Wait for the other man in case he was reading it wrong.
But he was a genius after all.
Morgan, Reid, friendship
Rock Me Amadeus, Falco
“Reid?” Morgan knocked on the door to the genius’ apartment. There was some really loud and obnoxious music that was playing inside. It sounded like it was in another language.
There was no answer.
“REID!”
He pushed on the door and it opened. Walking inside, he stopped short.
Reid was dancing…and singing….to this song.
“AMADEUS, AMADEUS…AMADEUS, ROCK ME AMADEUS!”
He stood still until Reid looked over. He fell over.
“Um…” he blushed furiously turning off the stereo, “what are you doing here?”
“Should I come back later?”
“Uh, now is fine. We have a case.”
“Okay.”
It wasn’t until a week later that Reid received the gag gift powdered wig to his desk.
Morgan/Reid, slash
Give Peace a Chance, John Lennon
It was the fight of all fights and honestly, Reid had no idea what they were really arguing about. It had started over the other man doing dishes and ended up with Morgan getting angry at him which ended in him throwing and breaking a vase. He had stormed out without another word.
Now, he was sitting in the kitchen, wondering what to do next and if he did something wrong.
The doorbell rang.
Reid opened the door. There stood a lost-looking and embarrassed Morgan.
He was holding a brand new vase filled with red roses. It was a peace offering to come inside.
He held it out and mumbled something about coming inside to talk.
He decided to give him a chance and opened the door a little wider to let him inside.
BAU team, friendship
The Time Warp, Rocky Horror Picture Show
The others will claim until they die that it was Garcia’s idea and she was threatening to ruin their credit score if they didn’t go. What they won’t tell is how they ended up dressed and ready to see a real life showing of Rocky Horror Picture Show.
How they dressed up was something else.
Garcia was Magenta, her hair frizzed out and a maid outfit.
J.J. was Columbia, a small red wig and tap shoes. It was quite cute and she was pleased with herself.
Morgan was dressed as Eddie, a rocker outfit and a slash across his forehead. It was pretty hot.
Reid was Riff Raff, looking gangly.
And Hotch….
Hotch was Dr. Frankenfurter. Complete with corset and pearls.
And it was absolutely perfect.
