!!!!!!!!!!

I love this SO much. Poor Shawn, and oh, Gus, my heart. Gus and Reid would totally get along, though, wouldn't they? (Except, the first time Reid did a magic trick for him, Gus would choke up because it reminded him of Shawn to much.)

(technically I'm only phobic about accidental cannibalism.... classic cannibalism, as Rossi would say, doesn't bother me so much.)

I am glad you enjoyed! I think Gus and Reid would be pretty BFF with their geekery.

And hmm, that is good to know. Let me know if you ever watch TB, though, because there is an episode in S2 that goes there.

OMG OMG OMG you killed Shawn! Poor dead Shawn. Poor heartbroken Gus.

Poor traumatised me.

The only thing that consoles me is that Reid is getting a friend in Gus and Gus will be welcomed in a team/family made of deeply scarred people who will take care of him.

Great fic, really, I'm just emotional about characters I love dying.

But the crossover works well. Is it just me or does CM have a great potential for crossover?

Poor boys. I needed someone on aim to talk me through finishing this, because as excited as I was about Death Bingo to start, it soon hit me that I would have to kill off some of my favorite characters. So much sadness.

Think of it this way! Gus goes on to be an excellent profiler. He hangs out with Reid and Morgan, falls a little in love with Penelope like one does, helps throw JJ a baby shower, and flirts occasionally with Prentiss. Gus would totally be awesome in the BAU.

I don't know, every show I love or fandom I'm in seems like it has great crossover potential. *grin*

I shouldn't have read this right before bed, but otherwise OMG BOYS. D: Very distressing! But Gus will have lots of crazy stories to tell the BAU about his childhood.

[tuesdayfic]

Aww, poor timing. Thanks for reading!

Most of the profilers' childhood stories are very ;___; but everyone loves Gus's, though sometimes they suspect he is making some of them up, because who makes an instant childhood friendship with the person who throws a cafeteria tray at their head? (Gus, that is who.)

This is heartbreaking. Oh, Gus. I can imagine Gus and Reid getting along pretty well, actually.

Thanks for reading! I think they would definitely bond over many geeky things. Gus would love physics magic.
