The Process of Frank Herbert writing the Dune series (from my very vague memory of a video essay).
Franklin Patrick Herbert Jr. watches Lawrence Of Arabia (1962).
It becomes his problematic fave, and he writes fanficion; “Lawrence of Arabia IN SPAAAAAACCEEE.”
Franklin needs money and decides to send his fanfiction to a publisher. The book becomes an unexpected hit.
He wants to rewrite Dune to repair the ethical problems of his favourite movie, but the publishers tell Herbert that a rewrite or a clone will be seen as a lazy cash grab that would lose them trust.
UH OH! RENT IS DUE!!! If he wants to pay rent and eat a nice dinner, Frankie better write a sequel!
Sequel 1; The story continues, but the supporting characters pine for a better version of their world by vocalising the problems of the MC’s colonialism.
The audience doesn't get it. Maybe it’s too subtle.
Sequel 2: The MC commits major atrocities, including a horrific genocide. He’s not a god or a messiah. He’s just another worthless cog in the machine of colonialism.
The audience feels bad that their hero is seen as a worthless cog. Maybe he just needs Jesus. That way, he can make up for the irreversible loss of millions of lives! God finds a way.
RENT IS DUE
Sequel 3: The MC has a son to carry on his legacy. The son loathes him. He channels his inner cool rebel, angsty Sasuke energy to tell the audience of children that “pot is cool, genocide drools!”
The audience is vaguely offended that Sasuke said pot is cool and still thinks genocide is okay. Or at the very least, the colonialism was okay in the circumstances of the Dune universe.
Patrick is out of patience.
Sequel 4: Sasuke huffs all the pot in the universe and becomes the king god of worms. With his infinite wisdom, he writes a Martin Luther style manifesto of every bad thing his father did. Point for point, sin for sin. The manifesto is within the novel itself and is roughly 97.8% of its reading. Repeated throughout the novel and manifesto and the novel itself is “Colonialism and genocide is NEVER okay. UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE , IN ANY WORLD , IT IS N E V E R OKAY.”
The audience’s main take away is that the king god of worms is cool.
Herb is out of pot to keep the Jesus in him. He is so tired of trying to just F I X these people. He channels every ounce of energy he has left to figuring out a concrete way to explain to his audience how colonialism and genocide is bad. In his late middle-aged life, it’s the only way he can stop himself from picking up a phone book to find and throttle some nerds.
Sequel 5: Out of the sand and ether, Sasuke Luther King God of Worm’s long-lost never mentioned before normal human descendant appears. She walks up to the audience, hold their eyelids open, stares directly at them within a cm of distance from her own, and says; “Colonialsim bad. Genoicide is a bad. Do not do. Is bad. Alway. O.k.?”
The remaining audience says. “ye. ok.”
Franklin Patrick Herbert Junior finally has a win and dies promptly on the spot from exhaustion at the ancient age of 65.
That’s just my guess, though. Most of what I know about Dune is from Jack Saint's video and a 10-second glance on Wikipedia.

We need a remasculinization of culture!
Yesterday I watched the 3rd sequel to Matrix. It's actually no longer fun to watch films or series anymore because the focus is almost exclusively on cunts: Strong women with slightly lesbian vibes who manage everything, while men are degraded to vulnerable beta males, as if they weren't physically capable against the much smaller cunts. This is not only totally annoying, but also quite unrealistic. In real life, women are 10 cm shorter on average, significantly weaker and simply physically inferior.
If these feminists absolutely want to change the entire culture, then they should please follow the path 100% to the end striving for total masculinization of themselves instead of this pussy talk in elf bodies! Everything else is simply not credible. That's why I only lasted a few minutes watching this Lord of the Rings series on Amazon Prime, because a woman with skinny arms wielding a sword like Conan the Barbarian is just ridiculous.
How about something better, like a much more believable male version of Tomb Raider?!
In Bro Nation, there should be an office dedicated solely to remasculinizing our entire culture with an army of artistically skilled bros who, aided by modern AI-driven software, rewrite entire books and even alter films through erasing everything feminine and focusing on masculine attributes, brotherhood, and love between men. Affairs with women are replaced by intense bromances, sex scenes through hard bro bonding or brotherly sex with halfmen. If they really want emancipation, they should get it, but then we do it right, without compromise and following the path to the end!

2022 End of the Year Recap
rules: post the top 5 works you're most proud of that you released in 2022 (not necessarily your most popular), your top 4 current WIPs that you're excited to release in the new year, your top 3 biggest improvements in your writing over the past year, your top 2 resolutions (ways you wish to improve your writing/blog) for the new year, and your number 1 favorite line you've written this year!
thank you for tagging me lovelies @amethystwritesbts 💕 and @e-cm 💗
Top five works I’m most proud of
The Woman with the Black Cat on Her Shoulder: I needed to write it and I am so sad/happy/emotional so many readers resonated with it 💗
Handshakes of a Lifetime Chapter 9: I am proud I got through that chapter dealing with so many characters at the same time 😅 like once I realized...oh no there are actually fifteen different characters and even more relationships it felt like a clown car in my head, but somehow I made it through! And it was a good chapter, at least I like to think so 😊
Christmas with a Vampire: no one else seems to like it but I LOVE this story, okay! I love vampire Tae and Jin, I love the way the world is laid out in my head, I love cyber punk stories AND vampire stories. I love the moodtm (I was so obviously depressed when I wrote it lol cries), I love how in the future everyone* ahem human* is vegetarian 😋 I love it all! Perhaps because I can see a bigger story and it's living rent free in my head lol but I'm proud I got it out and finally finished my x-mas series, very proud I finished something for once lol cries again
Day Dream: omg making sure all the threads of the story were 'woven' together correctly and made sense to readers and not just me lol, also the story itself referenced a lot of shit...life and dreams and some of my fav fics as well 😃 it was really fun to write and I'm proud how it all came together in a beautiful tapestry...of insanity 😂
BTS as Kisses: I love poetry and I should write more of it...and I'm planning to! Proud it was well received. I live for the "cute" comments 😆
Top four WIPS I’m excited for
Bon Voyage, I just love that world 🥺 and I'm excited to make readers a n g r y 😅😅 (don't blame me tho! blame Tae!)
The Snap, I wanted to read a marvel-bts crossover foreverrrr, so just gonna have to write myself one instead. I'm excited 😝
Run Run Run, because I always have fun writing it and I need some laughter in my life....cries 🙃
And HOAL, yes it's still happening, I have not forgotten about it! I appreciate your comments still, like @illnevertrustmyselfagain yes to everything you said, you "get" it 🥺, @myspi2010 too, I ask myself the same things when writing lol, my readers are the smartest and I love it 🥺😭
Top three improvements in my writing
I feel like I have gotten better in some aspects and worse in others lol. Pacing and endings are the things I want to improve on. It was fun messing with both in my story Day Dream, even added an alternate ending 😉
As I was rereading HOAL and BV:ITS I noticed my sentences are more punchy and concise, now my flow portrays that better even if I get more descriptive. I can't decide if that makes a better reading experience or not, but sometimes I do want to go back and rewrite the first chapters of those stories, so perhaps that is considered improvement? lol idk!
THIS IS HARD. um I definitely can say I never could have written stories like The Woman with the Black Cat on Her Shoulder and You Asked for Help, He Asked Your Name when I first started, there's so much to those stories that is even hard for me to explain properly, my readers do a better job at it for me 😅 I think their reviews/comments make the stories so much better, so thank you dear readers for helping me to improve myself 💕
Two resolutions for my writing/this blog for ‘23
Somehow get onto one of those author collaboration event story things...wanted to be a part of one since I first opened this blog 🥺...even though I am too scared to ask and am not part of any community, I still believe somehow it will happen 😅 lol
find a way to write all the stories I want and not die of exhaustion in the process cries...writing gods please come visit me in 2023 🙏🏽
Favorite line I’ve written this year
This was so hard to choose! I think probably this line from my Fairy AU You Asked for Help, He Asked Your Name because it feels like energy is transferring into my bones every time I read it, "You gripped it tighter, it was real, it was your freedom in the palm of your hand. It made you cry, made you angry, made you happy, made you stand up." But also there is a really good line in The Flower Bridge that came in close second...should I share it? Is that cheating? 😅 think readers should find it for themselves maybe? 😋
Tagging: @daydreamer-writing @justanotherstarlightmonger @trifoliumrex @jimilter @aris-ink @park-jimin-isnt-real @jiminiesfavouritecolourisblue @bangtangalicious @smasmashie and whoever hasn't done it yet, 2022 is not yet over!

for the artist ask! 6-10 why not ahaha
6. Anything that might inspire you subconsciously (i.e. this horse wasn't supposed to look like the Last Unicorn but I see it)
ohh well. Anytime I have a hyperfixation it changes my art both studying and accidentally and honestly I feel great about it cause artists have always done that. Van Gogh got obsessed over art prints from Japan and created beautiful works inspired by artists half way across the world. (When asked if he wanted to visit Japan he was like. Nah I'm good.) Anyway that's a little bit aside from the question but Tron ofc shaped how i do lighting and glowing stuff. And the way I draw eyes? Those are very much sonic the hedgehog moments. So that's in every drawing. But yeah. Uhhh. 👍
7. A medium of art you don't work in but appreciate
Oil Pastels. They're like crayons hard mode. I highly recommend the artist blackbean cms on YouTube. He also has an Instagram and TikTok but y'know. YouTube has his longform content. Also very funny artist.
8. What's an old project idea that you've lost interest in?
It's hard to say I'll remember old projects and go !!!!!! But something I remember being very ambitious was a sonic fanfic where I was gonna. Multichapter. Rewrite the whole series with stuff with the characters in the fic with a whole. Lore with it and. I got a couple chapters in when I got the fanfiction.net burnout and also the ace attorney hyperfixation started. Combo meant that it just.... Never got off the ground again and realistically now I think it's a bit too much. Anyway uhhh yea I remember projects and it's not so much losing interest it's trying to go back to them and failing sjbdjfnd.
9 - previously answered
10. Favorite piece of clothing to draw
oughh. Folds. Especially as I've gotten better at drawing them. But folds are really satisfying to draw for me.

Friday Fic Recs
Okay, it's not actually Friday but the holidays really threw off my weekly routine and I'm doing my best. So we'll just pretend it's still Friday, yeah? I haven't read a lot lately due to an eye injury, but luckily that's healing now.
What I've Read:
Criminal Minds, JJ/Emily, WC: 5639+ (Ongoing WIP)
Authur: sunshineandguns (@cargopantsprentiss)
Why I Love It: I don't usually partake in a lot of fluffy Jemily fics, but these little glimpses at soft Jemily moments truly make me happy. The newest update 'fireworks' was so wholesome and was a beautiful fic to read to start off 2023! Perhaps, I will read more soft Jemily this year? We'll see!
What I'm Writing:
I started 2023 with a handful of ongoing projects that I'm hoping to work on/finish up in the coming months.
Criminal Minds, JJ/Tara, WC: 55,440+ (WIP)
Update: After somehow cranking out a whopping 13k+ chapter on New Year's Eve, this fic has surpassed 50k!? Wild, considering it's five chapters long so far. I know there's at least one more chapter, but depending on what happens in Ch 6, who knows how much will come after that. Either way, this is my main WIP currently and I really love it.
Criminal Minds, JJ/Emily, WC: 23,428+ (WIP)
Update: I know I announced back in October that I'd be updating and finishing TCAU (after seven years on hiatus) and I finally had the motivation to rewrite another chapter! So this is now re-written/updated through Ch 8!! Guess I better start planning how to finish this, since I only had 10 chapters originally posted from 2015! I'm really looking forward to giving readers an ending to this fic, I know SO many of you have stayed subscribed over all these years...so please know this is entirely for you!
ICYMI: New Fics and Updates
Criminal Minds, JJ/Tara/Emily, (Ongoing Series)
Update: This behind-the-scenes look at [Fooled Around (and Fell in Love)] just got upgraded to explicit with the addition of the non-censored version of a fanart commission drawn by the ever-so-talented @artcake! Check out this new piece of art inspired by the threesome at the end of [Part 2] as well as the rest of the extras in this series.
Criminal Minds, JJ/Tara, WC: 55,440+
Update: Chapter 5 is posted! Like mentioned above, this was the longest chapter to-date, due to how much needed to happen in it. Like Chapter 4, it's a bit emotional and since it's over 13k, I recommend taking breaks while reading it. Don't say I didn't warn you that it's full of feels!
Criminal Minds, JJ/Emily, WC: 11,830
Update: This holiday AU was SO much fun to write and I was absolutely flabbergasted when @cargopantsprentiss drew this incredible [Movie Poster] for it!! I've added the fanart to the fic (with permission). Please go show Rosie some love on the original post!!
Criminal Minds, JJ/Tara, Tara/Rebecca, WC: 4389+ (WIP)
Update: This is a new shorter multi-chap that I started recently! I think it'll be about three chapters and yes, there will be eventual smut. I just really loved the idea of weaving some Jara angst into the reveal that Tara has a gf in CME. Then before chapter one was even done, Rebecca ruined my plans! So I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes!
Other Recommendations:
Past Friday Fic Recs: [Friday Fic Recs - Tumblr] || [CM Fic Recs - AO3 Collection]
Rec Lists: [JJ/Emily] || [Tara/Emily] || [CM Femslash]
My Fics: [Jemily] || [Temily] || [All]

Roadkill: Part One
Pairing: Spencer Reid x Female!Reader
Word Count: ~2.2k
Summary: Someone is using their vehicle to run people over, but why? What compels someone to take another life?
Warnings: canon violence, canon language, canon talk of death, methods of kill
Author’s Note: I do not own anything from Criminal Minds. All credit goes to their respective owners. If there are any warnings that exceed the normal death/kills from the show, I will list them. If you’ve seen the show, then it’s the same level of angst unless otherwise stated

"I'm not sure about automobiles. With all their speed forward they may be a step backward in civilization." - Booth Tarkington
You have some time before the briefing to steal away for yourself, and you and Spencer are in the break room alone together. You're leaning against the counter and you pull Spencer in closer to you by his hands. You wrap your arms around his neck and look into his beautiful brown eyes.
"I got us a nice hotel room for the both of us this weekend. It has a fireplace and a really big bathtub that can fit two people. What do you say?" you grin.
"That sounds amazing. We could really use it to get away."
You pull him in closer and kiss him slowly with a hint of tongue. No one else is around to judge you, but that blissful peace doesn't last long. Derek walks into the break room just as you pull away from him.
"I'm telling you right now, we're not leaving the room," you chuckle.
"What are you two talking about?"
"How much hot sex we're going to have over the weekend."
Spencer blushes deep red and Derek laughs as he pours himself some coffee. He caps his cup and walks past Spencer but not before he pats his chest.
"Wrap it before you tap it," he winks.
"It's so easy to get you like this," you smirk and pull away from Spencer. "You're cute when you're flustered. If only they knew what you were like in the bedroom."
"Don't you dare tell them," Spencer gasps when you walk away.
"Yes, sir," you smirk and wink.
Everyone makes their way to the briefing room where JJ is getting set up. Once everyone is in, she puts up pictures of current victims and their crime scenes. This unsub is killing people with his car; that's new.
"An unsub that kills with his car? I haven't seen that before," Emily says.
"Neither have the police in Bend, Oregon which is why they need our help. There have been two victims in the last twelve days. The first victim is Maria Delgado, twenty-three. She was hit on a morning jog. The second victim is Shannon Makely, forty-three. She was stranded on the side of the road when her car broke down.
"What makes the locals think that they were connected?"
"For one thing, they were both backed over after the initial impact. This wasn't an accident. Plus, they matched treads in both scenes. They were large wheels for all terrain. Their wounds also indicated a raised bumper, so they're thinking a large SUV to a truck."
"Do they know the make or model?" you ask.
"No. The tires are made for multiple kinds of vehicles."
"I'll do what I can to see what kind of car it is."
"Were there any witnesses to either incident?"
"No, both victims were attacked in secluded areas."
"Two tons of metal make a hell of a weapon," Derek says.
"Serial killers have been known to become rather attached to their vehicles. Bittaker and Norris even gave theirs a nickname. Murder Mac," Spencer explains.
"Bittaker and Norris were sexual sadists. There's no sign of torture here. This sounds like thrill kills for easy targets randomly selected."
"We need to think about if they're not random. We need to see if there is a connection between the two victims."
"With this type of impact, the vehicle shouldn't be hard to pick out of a lineup. There should be significant front-end damage."
"Somehow I don't think it's gonna be that easy," Rossi shrugs.
"Well, I think it's safe to assume our unsub is male," you say.
"I agree with you, given what we know about aggressive driving and road rage."
"And the fact that men have an unnatural bond with their cars," Emily adds.
"That is true," JJ nods.
"Wait a minute, I don't know about unnatural," Derek says.
"I once dated a guy who washed his car more than he washed his hair," JJ says.
"A nice car needs love."
"A woman doesn't?" you ask Rossi.
"I'm not qualified to answer that."
"I'm just saying a big car is phallic like he's overcompensating for something. Maybe he's impotent. If the unsub sees himself as physically defective, the car not only gives him the power and control he otherwise lacks, but it also serves as a shield."
"Maybe a way to avoid physical contact?" Hotch asks.
"Now we're going in a different direction. Power, control, and female victims equal up to a rape profile."
"Rape and thrill kills are two very different profiles. What does victimology tell us?"
"Nothing, yet. Shannon Makely was a white, married, commodities trader. Maria Delgado was a Hispanic grad student and a competitive tri-athlete."
"So far, gender's our only link. Hopefully, the crime scenes will tell us more."
It takes eight hours to get to Bend, Oregon from where you are, and Detective Quinn is waiting for you, Derek, and Rossi when you arrive. The rest went back to the station to get set up. The crime scene is so new that the blood is still on the ground from where Shannon was hit. You're kind of floored by the energy she left behind, you have to take a moment to gather yourself.
Rossi and Derek immediately talk to the detective while you stay where you are. All the officers and police cars disappear until the only one that's left is Shannon's car. She is stuck on the side of the road after her car broke down, and she's holding her phone up to get a signal to call for help.
She gets out of her car and starts walking in hopes that she catches a connection. She doesn't get far when the unsub comes around the corner. He stops exactly where the tire tracks are found in real-time. Time slows down the second Shannon turns her head toward the unsub. He slams his foot on the gas and lurches forward, still in slow motion. He rams her at full speed, backs over her, hits her again, and speeds off down the road.
You walk closer to the spot where Shannon's car broke down and focus on the big lifted truck instead. You rewind the events until the truck is right beside you. Of course, you can't see anything inside the car. Either the windows are tinted or your abilities can't put together what the inside looks like. Still, even though you can't see inside, you feel the unsub looking at you.
There is no distinctive mark that tells you what make and model this is, but you do know a couple of things. This is a lifted truck that someone put time and effort into, it's black in color, and the taillights are rectangular and small. You replay the events five times before letting the unsub escape. You're not getting anything else off the truck, but you're glad you got this much.
"Tell us about what happened," Derek's words bring you back to reality.
"Shannon lived a little outside of town and was on her way home from work when she broke down."
"So, she breaks down and gets out to start walking. Why not call for help?" Rossi asks.
"There's no service," you say. You point to the tire tracks on the ground. "He made a complete stop here then hit the gas at full speed. He hit her twice and then sped off."
"Full stop in the middle of the road? I take it there's not a lot of traffic out here?"
"Not on this stretch," Detective Quinn says. "Not at that time of day, at least."
"She was done working by three in the afternoon? What did she do?"
"She was a broker that specialized in foreign markets. The time difference made for some odd hours."
"There's something not right," you say.
"What are you thinking about?"
"What are the odds that she breaks down right here? She can't use her phone, there's no traffic, no witnesses, and nowhere to run. It's the perfect place for an ambush."
In the case of Maria Delgado, she was hit while she was jogging. The area in which she was hit is a popular spot for joggers, and not many people can take the stress of that hill. Maria was a tri-athlete that was jogging up there from off the main road. The unsub drove in where he could and ran her down the hill.
That's theory one. Theory two is that he was already there lying in wait. A woman jogging alone would be aware if someone was tailing her. She was the reason he was up there lying in wait like he knew she would be there. These attacks aren't random; they all have some significance to the unsub, which means they can be connected.
Once finished at Shannon's crime scene, you headed back to the police station to talk with the other half of the team.
"The only thing I got from his car is that it's a lifted truck that someone put time and effort into, it's black in color, and the taillights are rectangular and small," you say after you explain what you saw. "I also think he may have targeted these women. They have to be connected."
"That takes thrill kill off the table."
"Why, because the murders were planned in advance?" Quinn asks.
"Yeah, this type of stalking behavior indicates a personal motive. There's a reason he chose these victims. He knows their work schedules, jogging routes, and drive patterns. That would explain how he knew where to strike."
"It explains Maria. She was on a run, but he couldn't have known Shannon's car was gonna break down out there."
"Did you look at her car?"
"The guys at the impound lot said the water pump blew. They said it's a common enough problem."
"We should look at it. I might be able to get something off it," you say.
"Why don't you and Rossi head over there, and let me know what you find out," Hotch says.
You and Rossi head over to the impound lot to see Shannon's car. There isn't a lot of damage to it externally since the unsub didn't hit it. However, the deeper they went, the more they found the problem of why it stopped. No one else can see this, but you see two legs sticking out from underneath the car. The legs have the same energy as the energy you saw at her crime scene.
The unsub tampered with her car which is why he knew it would stop in that location.
"Can you tell us what the problem is?" Rossi asks.
"We figured it was the water pump because it was pretty much melted, but we didn't prepare for this."
The mechanic shows that there is a clear cut in one of the tubes inside the engine.
"This car is pretty new. This wouldn't be normal wear and tear, right?"
"No. The rest of the line is in good condition. Someone punctured it. You can tell from the smooth edge."
"How did they do it?"
"Probably reached a blade right through the grille with a penknife or something like that."
"They wouldn't have even had to pop the hood. If she drove away without water in the radiator, it explains the overheating."
"Could somebody possibly gauge how far she could have traveled with the car in this condition?"
"Someone who knows cars could make an educated guess, sure."
"Thank you." You and Rossi walk away from the mechanic. "The unsub did this to her car. He screwed with it. I saw his legs from underneath his car. He must have gone from the bottom instead of through the grille."
"Sabotage. He's more focused than we thought. He's well-organized and highly motivated."
"By what, though? What do these women have in common? They're all of different ages, appearances, and social class. He's not hunting a specific type. Their only connection is the unsub. There has to have been contact before the attacks."
"We profiled a guy who's afraid of contact. The truck's a shield," Rossi says.
"Maybe the contact's incidental. There's something he perceives in their exchange, something about his perception triggers his fixation. It could be the way she looks at him, something she says, or even something as trivial as what she's wearing."
So far, the team has narrowed down the lifted truck to an older model that's American made. He must have removed all emblems from the car so it'd be harder to track the car to him. One way you can narrow down the list is to send what you have to the DMV, but you're going to waste a lot of paper that way. The truck is only going to get you so far, so you have to build on the profile if you want to catch him.
Some things you know about the unsub are that he's mechanically inclined since he certainly knows his way around an engine, and he's strong enough to pull out dents in his car from each accident if he's fixing the damage to his car. Both victims were killed during office hours, so he must have a flexible work schedule or none at all. If he's stalking someone and getting to know their schedule, he has to put aside a lot of time for that.
Why did he start doing this in the first place? If he doesn't have a job, then losing it could have been the stressor. Eight percent of this state is out of work recently. You need to look for men who are employed as mechanics, work in a body shop, and have criminal records for reckless driving and assault. Two murders in two weeks isn't much of a cooling-off period, so he's not going to wait for another opportunity to present itself.
He's gonna create one, and soon. You just didn't think it'd be this soon.

OVER YOUR SHOULDER IS NOT YOUR FIRST CM STORY
WHATTTTTTT OMG HOW ITS SOOOO GOOD AND ITS YOUR FIRST????
sorry for yelling babe ����
Ahahaha YES! my very first cm story💖 it's also my first series! I had tried before but didn't have a very good handle on plot structure and foreshadowing, and OYS is FULL of foreshadowing!! I'm much better at structure now and so the rewrite is going much smoother than the original
I spent a lot of time making sure everything connected and made sense. When I finish my construction of it, it's actually gonna be posted under the title "Sugar" instead i think!
Thank you!!!!💕💖💕❤️

Have you watched Criminal Minds and would consider writing for it ?🥺 if you haven’t watched you shouuuuld !
I did watch the show. (Penelope and Derek were my favs). I wrote a crossover (some CM characters appeared or got mentioned in my SPN series.)
Gone Masterlist (I mention Penelope. My reader was with the FBI. She worked with the CM team.
Partner from hell Masterlist (Case 1) Reader was a member of the CM team. Derek and Hotch appear in one of the chapters.
So far, I got no intention of writing for CM. It's possible, that I'll do another crossover. I have plans for Partner from hell (Case 2) I'm currently rewriting the 2nd arc as it was on hiatus. The team may have an appearance in this case too. ;)

my marvel rewrite series
i have made the decision to rewrite my marvel rewrite series. i was going to wait until i finished supernatural to do that, but that will take me another seven or so years before i finish it. i rushed the movies that i already did for marvel, and i want to tell a more fleshed out story than i originally told. 
until i have CATFA rewritten, it will stay up on my page. once i finish, it, i will be taking down that rewrite so i can redo the entire thing.
i am rewriting it in chronological order instead of by release order, and i am currently watching age of ultron so i can make my notes on how i want to rewrite it.
rewatching marvel movies and seeing ant man 3 twice made the spark to rewrite the marvel movies with my character reignite, so that's what i'm gonna do (while rewriting cm and spn)
the entire marvel rewrite series will be a main loki x reader and bucky x reader with one or two side pairings with the reader. stay tuned!

Things Spencer Doesn't Know (Ch. 1)
Pairing: spencer x reader
Word count: 2.9k
Summary: Spencers favorite holiday Halloween is fast approaching when the BAU introduces its newest member, but a string of murders is preventing them from being able to get to know each other- or is it helping?
Warnings: mentions of horror, blood, gore, stabbing, hanging, brief mention of sexual assault, mentions of plane crashes, general criminal minds type stuff.
A/N: hi so uh my name is Luna and I have bugs for brains! I recently started CM and am now in love w spencer reid, and now I'm making it everyone else's problem <3 shdfhasjkdf the point is I personally like really lengthy pining detailed fics that follow the plots of shows I like. I did it for supernatural when that was my fave and now I'm gonna do it again for Spencer ! so expect this to be long, slow, and painful <3 in the pining kind of way. I promise there will be a happy ending. (also this isn't super important but it is in my little worm infested brain but I'm only semi following the shows timeline. This it should start sometime in season two around when he gets his first haircut w the glasses and the blue sweater u KNOW the look. But I mashed up like 4 different episodes in here, stole lines from season 3, 6, 7 and probably more idk. just FYI)
Pt. 2 Pt. 3
Tumblr media
Spencer��s breath was hot and heavy, blowing back onto his sweaty face under his silicone mask. He clutched awkwardly to a hollow plastic pumpkin and a large paper bag, both filled with Halloween treats and tricks, respectively. The large hairy gloves covering his hands made it almost as hard to pull candy out of the bucket and hand it to passersby as it was to see through the comically large Frankenstein’s monster mask. He stumbled through the bullpen, over to Morgans’ desk.
“I’m going to eat you…” he growls, groaning between his words. Morgan doesn’t react until he turns and is faced with the hunched-over depiction of a reanimated corpse inches from his own. He flinches, jumping back in his seat.
“Reid-” Morgan scolds, and Prentiss turns and laughs, smiling at the sight of Spencer decked out for his favorite holiday.
“Happy all hallows week folks!” Spencer speaks, and they can hear the grin from beneath his mask. He reaches up with fumbling hands, pulling it back and revealing his disheveled face.
“To paraphrase from Celtic mythology, in just a few days, all order is suspended and the buriers between the natural and the supernatural are temporarily… remooooved! ” he leans forward as he speaks, widening his eyes and lowering his voice for effect. He quickly reaches into his bag of tricks and pulls out a cheap plastic shrunken head, tossing it in Prentiss’s direction.
There’s a reason, however, that Spencer failed every field preparedness test he took at the academy. He overshoots completely, tossing it clean past her and towards someone approaching from behind.
You catch the head just before it flies into your face, and Spencers’ eyes widen, his cheeks flushing red. Behind Prentiss stands Garcia, clad in all green and black, tiny cauldrons hanging from her ears as she too has been styling herself in anticipation for the holiday. Garcia wasn’t the one who caught the head though, you did.
You stand with a box on your hip, hair pulled up tightly and out of your face in a way that allows Spencer a good look at it. Y/N L/N, the new transfer from New York. In all his excitement for the holiday season, he had completely forgotten that you were arriving today.
You furrowed your brow as you looked curiously at the cheap Halloween decoration in your hand. Suddenly he felt an overwhelming sense of embarrassment come over him, standing in front of you with a noose around his neck, werewolf paws, and a monster mask hanging off his head.
“I-I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to- I’m a terrible throw, oh my god-”
You laughed, soft and sweet in Spencer’s ears.
“It’s fine really, I love Halloween. If I’d had known we were allowed to dress up like you two did, I would have.” she gestures between him and Penelope, who's clad in all green and black with little cauldron earrings.
“Guys, this is Y/N L/N. And today’s her first day. We met on the elevator up, and I can already tell she’s a lovely sweet angel of badassery and also my new best friend, so be nice to her.” Penelope introduces. You laugh again, and Spencer feels as though his ears are ringing pleasantly from the sound. He wonders if he should see a doctor.
“Emily Prentiss,” she extends her hand, and you set down the head to return the favor, giving it a firm shake.
“Derek Morgan,” is next, and you twist your body towards him to do the same.
“I’m uh-” Spencer goes to extend his hand, before realizing it’s large and covered in fur. “Oh- sorry I uh- hold on,” he slides his hand along his chest, trying to slide the glove off. It doesn’t work, his arms are still full of Halloween paraphernalia. They tumble clumsily from his grip and onto his desk, as he hastily rips the gloves off and flings the mask from the top of his head. He shoots out his hand and you smile.
“I’m Spencer doctor Reid. I mean- Dr. Spencer Reid.” He blurts out, and Morgan is trying to hold back his laughter.
You reach out and shake his hand with a reassuring smile, and he’s suddenly hyper-aware of the level of sweat that has accumulated on his hands while wearing his gloves.
“Nice to meet you.” You say, and if you’re as embarrassed by him as he feels, you don’t show it. “So, you like Halloween?” you ask, reaching forward and tugging on the prop noose that still around his neck. He glances down, remembering that it’s there. His breath evens out a little, now that you're back to something he knows he can talk about.
“Yeah, uh yes. It’s my favorite holiday. It’s actually quite interesting, the cool thing about it is that it’s a uniquely American holiday. I mean despite its obvious origins in the Celtic festival of Samhain and the Christian all saints day, it really is a melting pot of various immigrants’ traditions and beliefs,” As he speaks, his voice picks up in volume and speeds up as he gains confidence. The others behind you sigh, but you don’t notice, enthralled in the way he speaks so confidently and passionately.
“It became a little more commercialized in the 1950s with trick-or-treat, and today it rivals only Christmas in terms of popularity-”
“Reid, buddy, I don’t think she wants the history of Halloween, she was just being polite,” Morgan interjects, and you watch as Spencer’s shoulders deflate. Morgan turns himself towards you “he’s a rambler.” he states apologetically, and you shake your head, turning back to Spencer.
“No, no it really is so fascinating, it’s part of the reason I love the holiday, because of its historical uniqueness. I’d love to pick your brain about it sometime-”
You can see the light flicker back on behind Reids’ eyes as he perks up at your words, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips. But you’re cut off as JJ walks by with a stack of files clutched closely to her chest.
“It’ll have to wait, we’ve got a case. Welcome to the team, Agent L/N, I hope you’re ready to get to work.”
“Two days ago, Daniella Cresswell was found stabbed to death, naked in her shower which was still running by her fiance in Brownsville, Oregon. She had multiple stab wounds to the front and back of her torso, eight in total, and her hair had been crudely cut short.” JJ clicked a button, and photos of what she had described flashed across the screen. A blonde woman with choppy short blonde hair lie completely exposed, her untouched skin glistened slightly from the water, a stark contrast to the deep gashes decorating her torso. One photo depicted a large bloodied kitchen knife on the edge of her bathroom sink.
“Any evidence of sexual assault?” Morgan asked, and JJ shook her head.
“Could be impotence then. Sexual sadists often use stabbing as a substitute for penetration, replicating something the unsub can’t accomplish and killing the woman he can’t have in one isolated action. The cutting of the hair could be an attempt to recreate a specific woman who rejected him.” Spencer suggested.
Gideon let out a hollow chuckle. “Killing two birds with one knife.”
“Just wait,” JJ said, and then she clicked to the next slide.
“The day after, Lila Langley was found strung up from a tree in her back yard, stabbed through the chest, her hair was also cut by the unsub.”
A photo of another blonde woman hanging from an enormous willow tree in her back yard flicked onto the screen. Blood dripped down her swaying body and onto the grass. You took a deep breath, steadying your mind as you took in these violent images. You’ve been working this job for a long time, and seeing the brutal untimely ends of so many people’s lives never got easier.
“24 hours isn’t much of a cooling-off period,” Morgan said grimly, and Prentiss nodded, studying the photos on the board across from her. “There’s also an escalation of the violence in the crimes with the hanging of the victim. This one is more organized and deliberate, one confident strike to the chest to kill her. Was the hanging post or antemortem?”
“Post,” JJ replied
You furrowed your brow, eyes darting over the photos, flipping the printed ones you have in the file in front of you back to the previous murder. Your mind raced, and you thought to open your mouth to speak, but you kept it shut. It was your first case with a new team, you wanted to lay low and watch the others, nervous to interrupt the dynamic.
“The victimology seems to be the same though, mid-to early twenties, white, blonde, middle class, the cutting of the hair.” Hotch notes
“Could be trichophilia, sexual arousal caused by human hair,” Spencer interjects, pushing up his glasses.
“That would be true if it weren't for today when Clara Knowles was found in a graveyard with two puncture wounds to the neck. Cause of death: blood loss,” said JJ, and across the screen flashed a woman in a red dress, her hair was neither cut short nor was it blonde. Long dark brown curls cascaded down her shoulders and fanned out on the dewy grass where she lay.
Prentiss actually laughed.
“No way, if I didn’t know any better I’d call that a vampire,” she says. “Nothing about this murder is even similar to the last two, what makes them think it’s even the same unsub?” she asks, and before you can even really think about it, you’re opening your mouth and speaking.
“Because they’re the plots to movies,” you say, not even responding to Prentiss so much as you’re thinking out loud. “Woman stabbed to death in her shower, another stabbed in the chest and tied up in a tree- those are the plots of Psycho and Scream. And this-”
“Is the plot of Dracula. She’s even got a red dress like Mina wears in the 1992 adaptation Bram Stokers Dracula.” Spencer interjects, and it’s like he takes the words right out of your mouth.
“The unsubs wasn’t cutting the hair because of some sort of fetish, he was doing it to recreate the characters from the movies.” You say, gaining more confidence with each thought.
“Why the hell would someone want to recreate famous horror movie murders?” Morgan frowned, and Gideon closed his file, pushing his chair back and standing up from the round table.
“That’s what we’re going to find out.”
The Jet was surprisingly quiet for its small size. You all sat in comfortable silence as you poured over the case files, quietly hoping there was one easy clue hidden in their contents that could stop this all before you even landed.
But there was no such clue, not one that you could find anyways. The blood and the lifeless eyes became too much for you to stare at for any longer. You would come back to it once you’ve landed with fresh eyes and fresh evidence.
So you closed the file and turned to face the window beside you, watching as the landscape seemed to glide past at a leisurely pace, despite your actual speed. The view suddenly vanished, covered by a thick milky fog, and the plane began to shake as you passed through a particularly turbulent cloud. You glanced around to see no one react to the bumps, Hotch didn't even look up from his file as he leaned forward to push his glass of water away from the edge of the table.
You closed your eyes and reached down to check that your seatbelt was fastened, trying to subtly grip onto the armrest in hopes no one would notice. You weren’t particularly afraid of flying, but something about any sort of turbulence never failed to make your stomach drop and your palms go sweaty.
Without opening your eyes, you felt someone settle into the seat beside you.
“You know, turbulence very rarely causes planes to crash.” the voice speaks. Now that you’re not watching him as he does, you notice that it’s quite the soothing voice. It has a sort of soft raspiness to it that makes your heart rate go down just a bit. You don’t open your eyes, even though you wouldn’t mind getting another look at him. He was just as easy on the eyes as his voice was on the ears.
“And somehow, it doesn’t make it feel any better,” you say, eyes glued shut.
“What you would really need to worry about are microbursts. Sudden downbursts of air associated with thunderstorms, a small craft like this, if we get one at the wrong altitude pfshh- pulverized,” he says quickly, emulating the sound of an explosion.
You squint open one eye, glaring at him.
“Sorry,” he says, realizing his mistake, and your eyes fall back shut as you let out a breathy laugh at the absurdity of it, your head falling back against the headrest. “But we’re not in one at the moment, just going through a cloud. So you shouldn’t worry about that too much either way. Besides, statistically, the odds of actually dying in a plane crash are only one in every one hundred eighty-four thousand three hundred and sixty-four people. You’re more likely to drown actually, which is one in one thousand one hundred and seventeen.”
“Great, now I’m scared of swimming too.” you tease, and he stutters.
“That’s not what I-”
“No, no, I’m kidding. Thanks, Spencer, really,” you say, finally peeling your eyes open to look at him. The turbulence is starting to settle down now, and you can catch glimpses of the landscape through the thinning clouds.
“Did you have any Halloween plans?” you blurt out, in an attempt to distract yourself further.
“Oh uh, not anymore. I think I’ll be a little busy now,” he says, disappointment in his voice.
“But you did? What were they?” you ask, a little more relaxed in your seat now.
“Well, I was toying with the notion of either going to the Edgar Allen Poe shadow puppet theater,” he begins, and you smile at the way he puts the emphasis on the ‘a’ in theater. “Or the reenactment of the 19th-century phantasmagoria.” he continues.
“Those are those… projected ghost stories from France right?” you ask, and a grin splits across Spencer’s cheeks so large you’d think you weren’t on your way to go look at a dead body.
“Yeah, yeah exactly. They used rear projections with lanterns and smokescreens in an attempt to scare the audience using science magic. They even went so far as to require viewers to fast or stay up late so that they’d be more susceptible to the ruse.” He said excitedly, and though there was no longer any turbulence, he was practically bouncing in his seat.
“And they do reenactments of those still?” you ask eagerly. You had a couple of ideas for Halloween plans yourself, but all things you’d done before. Never anything like this.
“Yes! It just so happens I have an extra ticket! If… if you wanted. You know. You don’t have to, but-”
“I’d love to.” You smiled, turning to look at him directly for the first time since he’d come to sit next to you. “If we get back by Halloween, I’m there. No matter how tired I may be.” you chuckle
Spencer doesn’t know what to say, which doesn’t happen very often. He hasn’t had this kind of interaction with someone in a long time. This kind of soft, easy interaction that most people are so accustomed to. Most people cut him off, or sighed and groaned dejectedly, waiting for him to finish his fevered rants. But here you were, only having known him for a few hours, and you reached into his brain and turned the faucet on and let his words pour out.
He just sat there, a smile gracing his lips as he watched you in comfortable silence, unaware of the knowing stares of his team members and the warm buzzing growing in his chest when there was another sudden jolt of turbulence.
The whole plane jerked as if it had blown a tire on the freeway, and without thinking, you shot your hand out to grab the nearest thing you could. Spencer jumped a little as you gripped onto his hand. He couldn’t bring himself to turn and look at you, just peeking from the corner of his eye, frozen. You didn’t seem to realize what you’d done, your eyes back to being screwed shut as you attempted to steady your breathing.
After a moment, spencer settled into it, relaxing his hand and hoping it would relax you. Watching your pained face as you tried to calm yourself caused an uncomfortable pang in his otherwise warm chest, one that he couldn’t quite describe. The same one he had felt before he walked over to your side of the plane to try and tell you not to worry about turbulence. He wondered what all these uncomfortable feelings he was having were being caused by. He’d better take an aspirin when he lands and hope he feels better for the case, he needed to be focused, he thought.
Eventually, when the turbulence died down, and the flight settled back into a comfortable silence, your hand left his. He wasn't even sure you'd realized you'd done it, but he remembered. The feeling of your hand squeezing his was searing onto his skin like he'd been branded, white-hot and unforgettable. He wondered if he'd ever get to feel it again.
