Two more cm_exchange recs!

Two more cm_exchange recs! Jeeze, only three more gifts to even post! December has FLOWN!

Courtship Rituals (Hotch/Reid, FRT, ~10,800 words)

How much do I love this fic? THIS MUCH. It's funny, and sweet and well-paced. I love how Reid's attempts to seduce Hotch just snowball from a small awkward gesture to a much larger effort. Have I mentioned it's funny? There's not enough good humor in this fandom. Not to mention the use of Sean Hotchner in the plot, who is underused in the fandom and very well written here. Go read it.

I Never (Morgan/Reid, PG-13, ~2,600 words)

BAU + drinking games = Morgan finding out way more about his pretty boy than he or anyone else planned. This is funny in all the right spots, but it has some really poignant moments to balance it out. And all the characters are perfect. Plus, how can you resist sloppy, drunkenly affectionate Reid? How, I ask!

ETA: Bonus teeny random rec: On The Sidelines (Hotch/JJ, PG, ~500 words) ...I am trying valiantly to resist this pairing, but instead I'm falling hard (which is a bitch, because it's just about non-existent). This drabble is short but sweet and did nothing for my resolve to reseeeest, damn it. :P

Word count totals!
cm_exchange fic wordcount included below. Future chapters of The Expansion of Two Natures that should be posted this month are obviously not included.

Non-collaborative fic word count total: ~86,950 words

Collaborative fic written with innerslytherin word count: ~450,000 words** (~318,500 words of Criminal Minds fic + ~68,000 of posted Ever-Fixed Mark serial fic [HP] + ~63,500 of original novel.)

**This total does not count the RP in which we wrote Remus/Peter together that started this crazy amount of co-writing. Nor does it include the ~200K+ (at least) of Ever-Fixed Mark that was never posted. SO, the real number is probably something like ~750K with the unposted fic and the RP.

LOL We could have written like TEN 75K novels this year if we'd only been doing original writing! Holy shit. XD
