You wrote Morgan/Reid. Oh god. Please make babies with me? I want to preserve your awesome.

I really, really love the first one for some reason that I think has to do with my love for airports mingling in with some seriously spot-on Morgan and Reid interaction. The coffee and the line about Morgan looking like a club bouncer and Reid being their precious commodity. The whole thing brings the warm fuzzies.

Really I love all of these, but that one and the Chinese food one are my favorites. Oh Reid and his chopstick fail.

OH GAWD, I LOVE USING AIRPORTS IN MY SLASH. You'll see as I post a few of the things I'm almost done with how they sneak in.

And Morgan is so obvious in his boy!crush and overprotective tendencies. GO AHEAD, PLAY WITH HIS HAIR MOAR, MORGAN, ♥

And I had to mention the chopsticks, \o/

asdfghjkl, this is my first time writing them, I'M SO EXCITED, I'M SO SCARED!

[shadowartemis]

You wrote them so well, no lie. It can be so hard to find good Morgan/Reid fic (I cannot point fingers. I contributed like a year ago and then destroyed the evidence.) and the fandom always seems so heartbreakingly small. D: And yet you nailed them on your first try. Go you, for you are awesome!!!

I will be shameful and say I HOPE YOU WRITE MORGAN/REID AGAIN OH GOD PLEASE DO.

MOAR AIRPORTS ALWAYS MAKE ME HAPPY. I am so glad I am not the only one who loves them! They're really a brilliant setting because just sitting in one waiting on your delayed flight (Ahem, Atlanta.) you can watch so many people go about life as usual and it's INSPIRING LIKE WHOA. I mean, people on laptops and people with kids and people in a hurry and people on cell phones and couples and lost travelers who have no idea how to navigate the airport ou god what is this insanity and and and-- They're just awesome. Awesome awesome awesome.

I know there is one other fic being put together for them. And I do awful things to them in it but I'm a lot more secure with how I'm writing them there in regards to flow and emotional undertones and all that good awful stuff. That, and a crossover that I've written several scenes of but I can make no promises there even if I absolutely love the premise and the awesome eidetic memory tag team that is Spencer Reid and Cindy Thomas, ♥

SO. YOU KNOW. STAY TUNED, XD

Guh.

I don't even know where to begin.

I've been staring at this for five minutes trying to figure out where to start but I keep wanting to quote the whole damn fic and just put a big ass smiley face after it because that's about as coherent as I'm getting.

Okay, for starters, remember me telling you that you don't ever need to worry about characterization? Well, you just proved it yet again because this was so perfect. I'm really amazed by it. Especially Morgan. I've found that people usually get Reid pretty easily but it's so hard to find in character Morgan and you nailed him. And my mind just went to the gutter....

Moving on...

The dialogue! God the dialogue was so fantastic through all of this. It felt so real. The way they banter and flirt without even realizing they're flirting. For instance...

Reid says the first few (nine) times, “I’m an FBI agent, I can take care of myself” because his stunted pride demands it, and Morgan says, “You’re our precious commodity, get in the car.”Such a perfect sentence to sum them up

ADHJKLR!11! THIS FEEDBACK MAKES ME SO HAPPY, I AM SO HAPPY YOU LIKED AND IT WAS OKAY AND IT DIDN'T SUCK!1

Morgan is the reason I'm hooked on this show. I mean I caved when my best friend asked me to watch, but I didn't get really hooked until I saw "Profiler, Profiled". Because it was one of those "whoa...I did not see that coming" moments. And at first, I was blinded by my disappointment with how they portrayed the Chicago Police Department (my grandfather was a cop there for thirty-five years). But once I got past that, I realized how much I loved what it added to Morgan's character - how much it explained, you know? Whether it was intentional or not. Hotch is my favorite, but Morgan is a very close second. (I think I like Hotch most because of Dharma and Greg...but that's a whole other story)

And contrary to what I read in some fics, I don't see him always being happy about it or wanting to do itEXACTLY. I've always seen the resentment from Reid. Like you said, I think it's been ingrained into him so that sometimes he'll just do it out of habit. But I just can't see him being overbearing and really into it. He'd be cautious and

ASDFGHJKL, SOMEBODY ELSE PICKS UP THE RESENTMENT UNDERTONES, I WAS STARTING TO THINK I WAS THE ONLY ONE, :D

[sallymn]

This is wonderful - each snapshot is a beautifully written little ficlet in itself and the whole is just all the reasons I've fallen for the pairing...

[ever_obsessed]

Hee, yay, apparently my first go with these two DIDN'T FAIL, \O/

[benitle]

I absolutely adored this and their various episodes of their friendship-turning-to-romance. I loved your Reid voice, how he knows he's perfectly fine when it comes to taking care of himself, yet he also enjoys being taken care of for once. The last one was probably my favorite. Oh them and their lovely flirting!

I really enjoyed this.

[ever_obsessed]

I was nervous about my Reid voice so hearing that it worked is all kinds of flailing yay on a bunch of levels. And they so need to take care of each other, ♥

Thanks so much for leaving a comment, :D

[gargoule]

this is so warm fuzzies that it makes me squee! so serious amount of epic squee!

i love it! love them all!

[ever_obsessed]

Thanks, :D
