1) I have been totally remiss in discussing the success of Saturday's Wave, but 16 people ended up participating at one time or another. Of course then it got ridiculously laggy. But all in all, it was a success. I was kind of too wiped out (haha, another Wave pun) and ended up not starting another one on Sunday

Like in 5x02 when Rossi tells Morgan Emily is picking Hotch up because she said she wanted to when we talked about it in bed last night.
Minimal Loss, when Hotch says he can't go in and Rossi says he's going in because my woman is in there and when he finds her in the tunnel and says they have to get her out of there, his voice is so concerned and urgent and in love. On the plane, just before she approaches Reid, she is looking at someone off camera, making significant eye contact, clearly, it's Rossi.

The ones you make up in your head are totally real moments. I mean, it's a canon moment that made your tin hat ding, right?
I totally agree with the 5x02 one. They clearly got SO CLOSE while Hotch was out. Rossi taking over and Emily being his right hand. (There's a terribly dirty joke to make there, I'm sure there is.)
OMG, I was talking to Woj about that scene in Minimal Loss! I had forgotten about it when I was rewatching it. Also earlier, when he says that he can't be the negotiator because he's emotionally involved. Also also when he's just inside the doors, talking to Cyrus and Emily's watching him the whole time. I am totally going to have to watch the end again for the bit when she approaches Reid. Definitely.
I love the Barry Manilow bit - especially when he asks her if she'd withstand all that prison procedure for a guy and she grins at him and says, "Maybe for Barry Manilow." She's so flirting. And he so gets groupies. We've seen them.
Thank you for gleeing at

I never did the flirting math on that one!

OMG, yes! The look of, "Look! I'm holding a baby!" and "I love seeing you hold that baby."
Oh, I think that scene is Angel Maker is so flirty. She's totally all, "I'd endure a strip search for you."
Oh! Roadkill, where he protests that a good car needs love and JJ asks him if a woman doesn't need love too, and he's all, "Not qualified to answer that!" And Emily laughs at him. Which isn't actually shippy but I like to pretend JJ is poking fun at their secret and Emily's laughing because as far as she's concerned, he is totally qualified.

All of the elevator moments.
I always thought Emily was giving Jill Morris the hairy fisheye in Limelight.

Also the later scene where he asks her if she ever smoked and she says, "I used to do a lot of things." (The local LEO is there but Reid has conveniently disappeared - and that fact in an of itself makes it seem shippy, like they wouldn't have had that exchange in front of Reid.) And then he says, "I bet you never did this," like he knows her list of sins.
They are so adorable in the elevator. It's like their secret shippy place. I think there could be an entire fic written about how their relationship develops on the elevator.
Limelight is one of those that I need to rewatch. Because Emily does defend her later, when she's in the diner with Reid and Morgan and they're picking on her for being too aggressive. But also, she's not in the room when Rossi yells at Hotch about knowing everything he did wrong when he left the FBI - glamorizing serial killers and ( ... )

On that note, here's a thought. wojelah in Cause of Snow has Emily tell him she's looking for a friend, someone she can trust and you echo the ideas of trust beautifully in A Willing Sympathizer but I wonder if the same is true for Rossi only in a different way ( ... )

Ohhhhhh! I am totally excited about your thoughts about Rossi in those stories. I think those points about people using him are totally on, and even echoes...The Crossing I think, when Rossi says the only people he ever made happy were divorce lawyers. I think there is definitely reason for Rossi to be distrustful and disappointed in humanity. He talked a lot about Emma being the purest thing in his life in Reckoner and I wonder if he sees Emily's bluntness as a form of that, or as close to it as he can get. I think there's definitely material to work with there ( ... )

Anyway, that may be one of the best because it says more than 'we like each other'. It puts them together as a 'team'. Why not ask Reid or Morgan??? because you weren't bending them over your desk
And as for the hussy in Limelight...she needed to stay away from Emily's man. :D

*dies* Excellent criteria! But yeah, I totally want a story that happens between 5x01 and 5x02 where Emily and Dave sort of have to join forces to keep the BAU functional and sort of have a side job keeping Hotch in working order, and end up turning to each other.
Yeah, I was just thinking about the conversation mingsmommy and I were having about her and I think Emily disliking her and then defending her later aren't mutually exclusive - women in male-dominated fields often have internal approval/disapproval conflicts (in LOLcat this would be described as UR NOT DOIN IT RITE) but will go to bat for even people whose tactics they don't like when threatened by an outside force. (In this case, our dudes, adorable as they are.)
However, I completely believe that infringing on Emily's romantic prospects would be a capital offense and in a contest? Jill Morris doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell.
