A Serving of Something by rawumber (R)
Fandom: CRIMINAL MINDS
Pairing: Morgan/Reid
Author on LJ:
rawumber
Author Website: none that I could find
Why this must be read:
It's set after Jones, when Reid decides that his abduction and forced-drugging and PTSD issues won't get in the way of his job. I loved the structure of the story, the way it went from scene to scene and I knew time had passed (perhaps large chunks of time), but there were enough thematic links to keep everything beautifully connected. Soul searching, angst, humor, food, bonds between Reid and Morgan – what more could you ask for?
Morgan wasn’t going to make it easy.
Reid shifted in his seat, again. Morgan just touched the volume on his iPod player, not that he needed to. The headphones could keep out noise from the engine and a rowdy game of gin. Yet he could hear the shift of fabric. He could see Reid look down, then at Morgan, and then down again, knuckles white as his held the book he would have finished the first ten minutes of the flight if he bothered to look at the pages. Morgan could see it and his eyes were closed.
Morgan wasn’t going to make it easy. Easier. He’d made the offer. He’d made offers before.
He was right there if Reid would just cross the aisle and start with something, anything.
An analysis of the 90’s alternative rock seeping from Morgan’s headphones would be something, enough, at this point.
The wheels were already lowered by the time Reid spoke, “Do you have plans for after we land?”
