cm_exchange Recs!

[severity_softly]

So, some of you know, I have been doing my very best to read everything, as long as the warnings don't squick me, at cm_exchange this month regardless of pairings. So far, I've only had to say no to two due to pairing/warnings, though I'm getting to the longer fics at a slower pace. Still, even if I'm dragging behind a bit, the attempt to read out of my comfort zone has actually found me at least one pleasant surprise! Here are my cm_exchange recs so far.

- Make Your Own Luck (Morgan/Reid/Hotch, and various combinations within; NC-17)

GUH! This is just amazing. This fic has just a wonderful, gradual build and is laced with subtle humor. There were so many parts I love that I found it hard to contain my comment, and am actually having a hard time reccing it without wanting to blurt out all my favorite bits. LOL! Not only is the build up sweet and funny, but the sex is GORGEOUS too, and so realistic! Realistic sex = HAWT = FTW! Go read it! :DDDDDDDDDDDD

- Come Out, Come Out, Wherever You Are (JJ/Emily; NC-17)

You read right. Not only am I reccing femslash, but I'm reccing fic with JJ in it. Guys, I love this author's style--it's really beautiful--and anyone who can make me like femslash and JJ, two things that are usually not my cuppa? WINS in my book. I really liked the second person perspective on JJ in this fic, which actually helped me appreciate her more than I usually do. Omg, and the sex is just plain STEAMING. RAWR! :D

- Watch and Learn (Hotch/Reid; PG-13)

I think it's hard to do fic with little to no dialogue well, but this one does. Morgan's "voice" is strong throughout, and I think the "silence" actually lends itself to thefic, making the the moment that Morgan witnesses [/vague] that much more intimate for it. Lovely. :)

JJ/Prentiss! I've only read JJ/Prentiss in Spanish, there's way too much of it in English and I didn't want to jump in without recs XD *adds it to the endless list of fics-she-hasn't-had-time-to-read-yet*

And I'll even make an effort and read that Hotch/Reid xD

... probably xD

LOL Well, if it makes you feel any better, the H/R is actually pretty understated in that fic. Still lovely, though.
