Thanks! The team's just getting started; more is coming soon, hopefully within a few days.

This guy was a creep. Morgan's friend was just... way too forward.

Can'
t wait till Garcia's, it's bound to be hilarious.

In my mind, Morgan's friend was just playing the one of the worst versions of himself; Ben, as mentioned in the intro, is an actor who took the direction to make Reid run screaming into Hotch's arms and ran with it. Thanks for reading - the next part will hopefully be up within a few days!

I love how Hotch and Reid are practically best friends here. Puts a smile on my face. Thanks for this. Hope to see more soon.

Thanks! Reid's starting to realize that the team is determined to set him up on these blind dates by any means necessary, and Hotch is fast becoming his safe haven and the only person he can talk to without being on his guard. More will hopefully be coming within a few days...

[stupidrhapsody]

yes please. I really like your stories, man.

btw, do you have a link for a hotch/reid manifesto? I desperately need episode guidance. help?

[impulsiveanswer]

Thank you!

While I seem to recall something like an H/R episode guide in the cm_hotch_reid lj community when I went through all the archived pages, I can't say for sure when (or even if) it was posted. The more obvious episodes are "L.D.S.K.", "The Fisher King, Part 2", "Revelations", "Damaged", and "Tabula Rosa"; you might want to see if you can post this question to cm_hotch_reid to find more info/details.

How do you come by Fisher King 2 and Tabula Rosa as being H/R centric...? O_o? What scenes, cuz I don't see it.

[impulsiveanswer]

"Fisher King 2" isn't H/R centric per say, but it does have one of the pairing's more inspirational scenes: Hotch pulling Reid away from the fire. As for "Tabula Rosa", that's got Hotch and Reid out of town together while the rest of the team stayed at Quantico; and scenes like Reid smirking proudly as Hotch destroyed the defense attorney who was cross-examining him, Hotch refusing to get a drink with the prosecutor in favor of leaving with Reid and waiting patiently in the car as Reid returned the watch to the murdered girl's father. While H/R isn't the man focus, I think there's enough there for it to make the list.

Really really loving this...and more UST ftw!

Will was great, I loved how he very obviously disapproved of this entire thing. And little Henry baby-talk eee! "Pens" made me smile every time I read it.

Can't wait to meet Garcia's friend! :)

Thank you! I like the whole JJ-Will-Henry family. And Hotch and Reid practically invented UST. The next part will hopefully be up in a few days...
