Accessories Make the Outfit (Hotch/Garcia, PG), and Haiku (Reid/Rossi, R)

[severity_softly]

Title: Accessories Make the Outfit
Author: severity_softly
Rating: PG (if that)
Pairing: Hotch/Garcia
Summary: What Rossi saw when he walked inside the door Aaron's office stopped him dead in his tracks.
Notes: just a drabble, from innerslytherin's prompt "Hotch/Garcia, borrowing an ink pen".


Dave had word from a colleague of his that there was a case in Tuscon that needed to be looked into, so he headed to Aaron's office. What he saw when he walked inside the door Aaron's office stopped him dead in his tracks, though.

Aaron was sitting behind his desk, brow furrowed and leaning over a piece of paper. He had that look of intense concentration on his face, though the pen he was using was partially obstructing it from view. The large, feathery, pink, glittery, puff ball at the end of it moved with his writing in front of his face.

Dave stared for a moment, and then burst out laughing. Aaron's gaze snapped up, and he put the pen down, giving Dave a look. "What?"

"'What'?" Dave repeated. "If you're seriously asking that, you should know that you're in no position to be taken seriously right now."

Aaron sighed and sat back in his chair. "I lost my pen."

"And no one in the bullpen had a normal one?" Dave asked, raising his brows.

"I was in Penelope's office," Aaron said.

Dave snorted, shut the door, then crossed the room to sit in the chair across from Aaron. "First of all, you have to walk through the bullpen to and from Garcia's office. Second of all, you should watch what you call her a little closer." Aaron frowned in confusion, so Dave clarified, "'Penelope'?"

Aaron's lips twisted. "Is there a reason you came in here?"

"Yes, but I'd rather talk about this," Dave said, and grinned at his friend. "How long?"

"How long what?"

"How long have you two been together?" Dave said, then shrugged. "I know you like blondes, but I would have thought JJ would be more your type."

Aaron closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then opened them again. He didn't look Dave in the eyes when he said, "It sort of snuck up on me." He sighed. "I didn't mean to--"

"Aaron," Dave interrupted before Aaron could start apologizing for being unprofessional. He waited until Aaron turned back and held his gaze for a moment. "Are you happy?"

Aaron tilted his head, narrowing his eyes in thought. "Is there ever a day that Garcia can't brighten? Even if just a little?"

"Good." Dave's smile went wider. "That's all that matters to me."

Title: Haiku
Author: severity_softly
Rating: R to be safe (sexual talk)
Pairing: Reid/Rossi
Summary: Normally the notes were cute, affectionate. Today's note? Not so much.
Notes: just a drabble, from innerslytherin's prompt "Reid/Rossi, magnetic poetry".


Spencer had already left for work. He usually left before Dave, but he always left a pot of fresh coffee in the kitchen.

When Dave stumbled over to the fridge for cream, he saw a note Spencer had left for him in the magnetic letters he'd put on the fridge. Normally they were cute, affectionate. Today's note? Not so much.

Please take out the trash
I am sick of being the
only one to clean

"I clean plenty," Dave muttered. "Trash is your job."

He looked at the letters for another moment, then realized it was a God damned haiku. He couldn't help but snort, both amused and exasperated by how almost ridiculously geeky his lover was sometimes. He couldn't just leave a normal note?

Dave started to arrange another set of letters.

Anal retentive
neat freak, is what Em calls me
You can kiss my ass

~*~

Spencer always got home before Dave on days they didn't have cases. Dave had expected him to be watching the SciFi channel in the living room when he got home, but Spencer wasn't there.

Dave headed to the kitchen to get a beer, but the beer was quickly forgotten when he saw the new note in the fridge.

I'd rather suck you
than kiss your ass, handsome man
come to the bedroom

Dave didn't waste any time following these instructions, though he did completely ignore the post-script at the bottom:

And take out the damn trash before you come.

Spencer would forgive him.

*squees* Hotch/Garcia! *bounces* But Hotch with Garcia's pen? I want that scene......

and LOL at suggestive!haiku.

[severity-softly.livejournal.com]

innerslytherin and I have an unposted Hotch/Garcia fic. I really quite like the pairing. :)

Thanks!

[kyrdwyn.livejournal.com]

Hotch/Garcia fic? ooo *offers to beta with no ulterior motives whatsoever* O:-)

[severity-softly.livejournal.com]

LOL sure! It's scheduled to be posted the end of July, but we might rearrange to post it sooner, if you want to take a look at it. Do you use Gdocs?

[kyrdwyn.livejournal.com]

I do use Gdocs, but occasionally have to exchange words with it over formatting my stuff. I'm my lj username @ gmail.

*grins*

[jellze.livejournal.com]

Don't mean to intrude, but can I beta too?

[winky3018.livejournal.com]

*giggles* What I wouldn't give to see Hotch with one of Garcia's pens! What an unusual pairing... hmmm... but oddly enough I like it, go figure :D

"He couldn't just leave a normal note?" Now where's the fun in that??

Great timing, I was just going to re-read some Rossi/Reid stories, it is Friday night and I am home alone and bored...how sad!

*hugs*

[severity-softly.livejournal.com]

LOL I wrote H/G once with innerslytherin, and have quite a fondness for them now. :)

Thank you! Glad I could give you something new to read!

[resolucidity.livejournal.com]

Loved them both, but the Haiku had me ROFL. Thanks for great start of a busy Saturday!

[severity-softly.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :)

[nebula99.livejournal.com]

The haiku fic was cute
and very Reid. I feel his pain -
Bad Dave.

[severity-softly.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :)

[krazykitkat.livejournal.com]

Hotch/Garcia is a little strange but the image of him with the pen is just priceless :)

[severity-softly.livejournal.com]

Definitely an aquired taste, that pair, but I love them. Thanks!

[katewallace.livejournal.com]

Unposted Hotch/Garcia???? Will we see it sometime??? Please? That being said, these were a wonderful addition to a Saturday that started WAY too soon...3:55am. I just love the hour and half drive to the airport to pick people up! Thanks for sharing. (And I'd love to know where Hotch put the pen while he walked through the bullpen. :) )

I must say, Reid and Rossi do have a way with words!

[severity-softly.livejournal.com]

He put it in his breast pocket, of course! :)

Thanks!

[innerslytherin]

Did I mention how much I loved these? Because I loved these. Especially the image of Aaron with Garcia's pen, and the way Dave calls him on it, and then says, "if you're happy that's all I care about". Hee!

[severity-softly.livejournal.com]

*G* Thanks!

[jalabert.livejournal.com]

Hee!

Both of these drabbles (and I'm so glad you used the term loosely; those tortured little hundred-word things never quite satisfy) are witty, amusing little gems. The idea of Aaron writing with Garcia's pen is such a terrific image. And Spencer's haikus--:).

Lovely.

(I'm still catching up on your other great reads--you and innerslytherin now occupy your own folder in my bookmarks!)

[severity-softly.livejournal.com]

I kind of like the challenge of writing exactly 100 words and still making it stick, but it is hard to do, and unless I'm writing for a drabble comm or trying to challenge myself for some reason, I just call anything under 500 words a drabble, and anything 500-1000 word a ficlet.

I'm glad you enjoyed these! Thanks!

[coffeecocktails.livejournal.com]

I actually laughed at loud at the second one... Of COURSE Reid is the ultimate magnetic poetry champion! Genius :-D

[severity-softly.livejournal.com]

LOL! Thanks!

[dragonladyk.livejournal.com]

Those both made me laugh.

Glad you liked them! :)

[moonflower75.livejournal.com]

I so love Hotch/Garcia, and the PEN!!!!! priceless.
please please please, post the unpostd fic of them you mentioned in one of the replies, I'm absolutely sure it's lovely!!!

I quite like the Haiku idea, I see it as very much like them!

thank you for posting this

[jellze.livejournal.com]

**SQUEEEEEEE!!!!** I just love it!!! I can't belive I haven't seen this before!!! Great work! You just gave me inspiration to continue a fic I started at bau_fic I'll post it on my LJ today feel free to read I would like your insight on it.

[wingstar102.livejournal.com]

Umm, if I badgered you enough, would you post more fics like these? I would love you forever. LOL.

Love and cherries,
Wingstar

[severity-softly.livejournal.com]

LOL Maybe, but I make not promises.

Glad you like it!

[dimac99.livejournal.com]

Ha ha! I'm not sure the mental image of Hotch all armoured up in one of his straightlaced dark suits and sitting behind his desk using one of Garcia's pink and fluffy pens will ever leave my brain now! Fantastic mental image! There's just not enough Hotch/Garcia goodness out there.

I enjoyed the 2nd one too, the haikus were quite inventive and funny, but I wouldn't normally have read that pairing.

Thanks for sharing.

(PS Drabble actually means 100 words exactly so these are really one shots.)

[severity-softly.livejournal.com]

Glad you enjoyed them! And glad you gave the second one a chance. :)

And if you're going strictly by drabble community standards, yes, the limit is 100. But a lot of people, myself included, consider a drabble anything 500 words or less, ficlets are 1000 words or less, and anything over a one shot.

[lucianwolf.livejournal.com]

"Haiku" is awesome.

[severity-softly.livejournal.com]

Thanks!
