It Sounds Uncommon Nonsense
It Sounds Uncommon Nonsense: A Criminal Minds / Psych crossover.
If for some reason you’re not familiar with either of these shows, here is the Criminal Minds primer. Basically: Spencer Reid = awesome genius with eidetic memory, Aaron “Hotch” Hotchner = serious team supervisor. They work for the Behavioral Analysis Unit of the FBI.
The Psych primer can be found here. Shawn Spencer pretends to be a psychic while he solves crime for the Santa Barbara Police Department. Carlton ‘Lassi’ Lassiter is the head detective, and in one episode Shawn actually sits in Lassiter’s lap. True story.
P.S. Thank you to whoever made those primers!
Title: It Sounds Uncommon Nonsense
Fandom: Criminal Minds / Psych
Summary: The BAU is called out to Santa Barbara on a case where Spencer Reid meets Shawn Spencer. Shawn helps put some things in perspective.
Pairing: Hotch/Reid, Shawn/Lassiter (established), Gus/Juliet (implied). Spencer Reid centric.
Disclaimer: So totally not mine.
Note: This almost AU, and due to recent events it veers away from canon quite a bit. I also take some… liberties… with the "case," by which I mean there is little of it. There are vague spoilers both both series, only in passing although Hankel is mentioned. Hopefully it should be easy to distinguish between Spencer and Shawn. If you notice it’s confusing anywhere, please point it out.
~25,000 words... this is all the nano I had in me.
ETA: my skista beta'd this, and we had half a bottle of bacardi.. each... so if you notice errors please let me know.
