“Following a Bright Shiny Thing” by travelinthedark always makes me feel better. :)
Summary:
Sherlock was standing over the body… Sherlock finds himself in the middle of a B.A.U. investigation, much to his delight and John’s frustration.
That’s right. A CM/Sherlock crossover with H/R! Why aren’t there more of these wonderful crossover fics? I miss getting excited just by reading the summary.
Here are the ones that I favorited:
All are Hotch/Reid except for the two. There are also other stories that I haven’t read. Go to my unsub!reid tag on my delicious account for those. :)
I’m in the mood for some fics about the first time Stiles and Derek kiss. Does anybody know any good ones?
Man, I was just itching to rec some Sterek fics. I just read these two stories last night, by the same author, and I think they might just be one of my favorites.
And Now I’m Sunk & I Want You To Want Me by pandacowhipster
They are both really fun to read, which is hard to find because most Sterek fics are either angsty or plain silly (which I like when done right). But these two stories are fun and in character and you just can’t help smiling even though the subject matters are quite heavy.
Hope you enjoy! (even though the kiss is not really the big part)
I haven’t laughed this hard at a fic in a long, long time, and I know sleep deprivation might have something to do with it, but if you want something sweet and short and HILARIOUS, and so Hotch/Reid, you go read this story, and tell the author to write more, because I need that verse in my life, okay? Okay.
This deliciously written story reminded me once again that I had a serious thing for nursing-back-to-health trope. GOD. I’m such a girl.
my cm au western is finally finished — yeehah!

federal marshal aaron hotchner is chasing fugitive serial killer george foyet, with help from a few new friends.
please read the warning page before you check out the story. lots of warnings for topic content and harsh language.
I have a feeling I’m gonna love this one. :D
Tilting at Windmills has been deleted. =( But, if you use the Wayback Machine site, there is an archived copy of the webpage.
Oh, right. I forgot that the original page was deleted. Thanks for reminding me and letting me know about the waybackmachine page. I should have checked there more often. :)
Well, there aren’t many long fics to begin with, and pre-slash ones aren’t necessarily set during season 1 to 3. But here are my favorite ones that aren’t too short.
For the Body Buried by the Interstate
Shook the Bones (WIP)
Five Times Aaron Hotchner Thought Spencer Reid Was Asleep
You can also check out the “pre-slash” tag on my delicious account for more stories. :)
Oh, man, do I have to choose? Hmm… I’ll just mention the ones I often find myself going back to.
Acting Out series is brilliantly written and yet quite unknown in the fandom. I recommend it whenever I get a chance. So if cheating!Hotch doesn’t bother you… No, even if it does, please give it a chance. You won’t regret it.
For the Body Buried by the Interstate has a very special place in my heart. Reid is barely in it, but you feel his presence in everyone’s lives, especially Hotch’s.
Flawed Design is a fun one-shot where nothing much is going on, but there’s so many things going on, if you know what I mean. That’s what I call damn good writing.
And Following a Bright Shiny Thing is my guilty pleasure. It’s funny. It’s cheesy. It’s never ever going to happen in a million years. But it’s just so genuine that you have to smile.
I know these are all quite old, but they spoke to me deeply at the time I discovered them.
