I know people were looking for Criminal Minds crossovers. I found 3 that are crossed with the voodoo portion of the "Five Districts, Five Drugs" series Amy and I were discussing recently. The thing is I don't watch Criminal Minds so I can't vouch for how well she captures those voices, but I can tell you that she is a good storyteller. These three ficlets are short, more vignettes than stories.

However, "Five Districts, Five Drugs" is wincest. There is nothing too blatant in any of these, but I've tried to give appropriate content warning:

The Ignorance of Knowledge - spoilers up through 2.18 for Criminal Minds - takes place at a jazz bar in the French Quarter that Sam owns. There's a brief period where Sam and Dean are both in the scene with Reid; when Dean arrives "Sam’s smile turns silly, helplessly in love. Reid aches, seeing it, feels slightly better when he sees that Dean’s returning it, leaning down to press his lips against Sam’s forehead in some kind of benediction." In addition to Reid noting the attraction between the two of them, "he sees Sam slide a palm up high on Dean’s thigh." Before Dean leaves, from across the bar, Reid sees them kiss goodbye. (It just says they kiss, it's not described in detail or anything.) I know the kissing might be enough to discourage some of you, but the portrayal of Dean in this fascinates me, dangerous and feral.

Recognition of Knowledge - Coda for 4.01 of Criminal Minds - Sam and Dean meet Reid at the airport and stand next to each other as they wait outside, "sides pressed together." That's the extent of it in this one.

Comfort of Knowledge - Coda for 4.07 of Criminal Minds - takes place in New Orleans again. Sam and Dean don't even appear in the same scene in this one.

But, really display of hands of steel, I 'd leave if I couldn't fight for shit. Maybe. Because---hawt.

Say that again but ... different? It's either the gronk or the congestion but I'm having trouble parsing it.

No, that was my pain meds gronk. I wouldn't leave, even if I couldn't fight for shit. But the character in question, despite being a jock (who'd just been saved), was put off and dumped Dean.

Okay, gotcha.

Okay, this is the first time I was able to watch more than a snippet of the final scene of SPN on TNT, and they're doing that thing, at least in some scenes, where they speed up playback, just a little, to shoehorn in more ad time. Compared to my S1 dvds, both guys sound a little like Munchkins in some scenes.

Really? I didn't notice that.

I guess that's better than snipping scenes, but I'd never notice it, I don't think.

I took SPN on TNT off my season pass. I'm all sad now. But I have S1 and S2 on DVD, and S3 and S4 are on TiVo. I really liked coming home to SPN every day. It's not the same with the DVDs, but this way lies special features, so I will go through them. I'm at 1x10.

I'm pissed that I seem to be out of Teenchester fic. Well, teen Sam. That period where he was getting twitchy and angry, and Dean was already 18 or over and was staying with the family anyway. It must have been weird, trying to be a grownup with the drinking and the women, but still being a surrogate parent and a fighting partner for his father. Meanwhile Sam is hunting kinda reluctantly and probably still idolising his brother at the same time as realising that he can't do that isolated from the world thing for the rest of the life, and maybe about to start resenting Dean for his idolisation of John.

I sat here and watched both Hookman and Bugs this morning while catching up email and making the bed, etc. If it's on, apparently I have to be there.

I've read teen Sam like that, but again, it goes places you don't want to, ita.

I did spend the other night writing the beginning of a post-series fic in my head, before I fell asleep. I really like it, too. But I can't actually write it down until the book is turned in, because ... because.

Wahh! Why can't I shape fandom to my precise needs?

So, you hand in your book this Friday, right? Right?

Next week you can have some post-series fic which is pretty much exactly what you want, I think. Or at least the beginning of some.

I'm sort of leaping over S6, but whatever. It's the ending I want for the boys no matter what happens.

I told her Friday afternoon. I imagine the last two or three chapters will actually get written over the weekend. I can't let it go farther than that, both because I don't want her to hate me and for my own sanity. So yes, mostly.
