She'd do a stellar Mary Poppins.
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
She could even fix Bert.

Hah. I heard Dike Van Dyke on "Wait Wait" recently, who claimed that Bert's accent was a result of the dialect coach the studio had hired, and not his fault! He was very amusing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Aha, the Kendra excuse.

If so, I can only assume the dialect coach was a member of the IRA who chose a unique way of striking a blow against England.

Well, he did claim the coach was Irish.
It's been fifty years: I'm inclined to cut the guy some slack.
Oh, wait, we're in Fanfic. Um, topic, topic: I'm having an interesting time writing in my first literary fandom, because CS Lewis was just as shaky a world-builder as any television franchise one might care to name. It's fun to poke holes in a beloved icon!

I'm trying to find well-written, non-romantic/slash Criminal Minds fic, and it's remarkably hard to find, especially the non-slash type. What is it with everyone trying to slash obviously het types like Hotch and Morgan?
I love Barb's Reid/Prentiss fic, as well as Madlori's stories in the same vein, but am really interested in case fic without any relationships. Any ideas?

Because they don't believe in "obviously het"? I kinda don't.

I just find slashing Morgan (especially) being way out of character, because due to his background of being a sexual abuse victim, he can barely touch another man. When he held Hotch after pulling him off of Foyet's body in "100," that was a huge thing for him, IMO. So, slashing him with another man just reads as wrong, to me at least.

I can't say I've ever noticed him being significantly more touch-averse than any of the other guys on the team when it comes to men. They aren't a touchy feely group by and large, when you take Morgan and Garcia out of the equation.
And, honestly, being abused by a guy as a kid isn't a guarantee for heterosexuality by a long shot.
