First Kiss by Lenore (PGish)

[sperrywink]

Fandom: CRIMINAL MINDS
Pairing: Spencer Reid/Aaron Hotchner
Length: 1,500 words
Author on LJ: scribblinlenore
Author Website: Serendipity (is my favorite word)
Why this must be read:

I'm starting out with an older story, but one I love a lot. The premise is a slash classic- Hotch and Reid will be going undercover as a gay couple to catch an Unsub. They practice a little intimacy before starting the case. I totally have a kink for inexperienced Reid, and this delivers that in spades, as well as a searing Hotch/Reid kiss.




He'd noticed this before, Hotch's careful respect for boundaries. There were so many things he could guess about his boss from this one detail, demons of his past, if he put his mind to it, but he never did. Spencer's mother used to tell him: you can analyze things to death. Spencer preferred simply to believe there were some lines you shouldn't cross.




First Kiss by Lenore


Hi, I'm sperrywink and I'll be rec'ing Criminal Minds this month. It was rec'ed last year during Small Fandoms Month so you can check out the overview from last year here. I have some older stories that haven't been rec'd yet, as well as some new and new-to-me ones. Hopefully there is something for you to enjoy.

Good choice! Lenore's an excellent writer. Thanks for the rec.

PS If you know of any good Hotch/Morgan fics it's a pairing that seems to be particularly hard to find ... I'd be interested to see a rec in that if you have any.

LOVE that story. And especially the passage you chose to excerpt. Really good choice.

[sperrywink]

Isn't it great? And thank you! In my mind it was the obvious excerpt to go with- such an insightful little paragraph!

You're welcome for the rec! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I know of no secret trove of Morgan/Hotch stories, so don't hold your breath. *g* I do have a ficlet or two in mind to rec, though, so something may pop up.

[raveninthewind.livejournal.com]

Yeah, good story with which to begin your recs!

Whoa~Nellie hotter'n my grandma the day she fired up her apron on the cooktop!

*melts*

Thank you! It was one of the first stories that popped into my head, so it seemed like an obvious choice. I actually couldn't believe it hadn't been rec'd last year.

Isn't it just? *Searing*, I'm telling you.
