As I've mentioned previously, Friday is Recday here at criminalxminds. What does that mean? It means everyone can rec whatever type of fancreation they found awesome/interesting/funny this week. So this is for fic, vids, fanart of any type, etc. Feel free to also ask for certain type of recs.

If you're reccing things with potentially offensive/triggery/NSFW material, please use appropriate warnings.

I'll be the first to ask for recs: has anyone seen any good fics about Reid and Emily resolving their issues post 7x01?

I'm actually really tempted to write one of those, but I haven't seen one!

I have one in the works...not done yet though :)

NSFW: Reid/Gideon hurt and comfort

[gsyh.livejournal.com]

Featuring the elusive Top!Reid and Bottom!Gideon, I clicked it for the sex, I reread it for the very well done characterizations plus hurt and comfort: It starts with Reid showering post-case and then Gideon showing up and needs hugs but everything feels smooth.

A quote from the none sex part really sticks out to me as very very Reid:

" After a day like this, he always found it dizzying to be doing normal things such as taking a shower or heating up frozen pizza for dinner. He always felt a bit like the world should stop and acknowledge the fact that yet another innocent life had been ended in such a brutal way, but the only recognition of that fact that he could see was in the grim faces of his colleagues. "

What's this? A good high school AU?

Written by my favorite CM author, ficdirectory! Features the entire current team (plus Seaver) as high-schoolers in the late '90s. They attend the same church where Erin Strauss is their youth pastor, and also their mission trip leader.

Excerpt:
It's Halloween, and Penelope can't stand the stupid headband with cat ears. The thing is, she can't summon the energy to get out of bed and throw it or destroy it. She doesn't have the energy. She is too tired. She needs the dark. She needs to disappear, like her parents, but she can't make herself do it.

September 30th, 1998. The day her whole world changed. She remembers being at church and whispering some dirty French to Derek. She remembers the praise songs they sang and the small groups they broke into. She made sure Emily was included, and that she not only participated in the discussions but also that she got to play the games.

Then, she drove home to find a police car in her driveway. The cop got out and told her he was so sorry… There was an accident… The other driver was intoxicated… Her parents… The hospital morgue… Could she come and make an identification?

The last person she had expected to find was Ashley, weeping like a crazy person in the waiting room. That should be me, Penelope remembers thinking. But it wasn't.

On FFN, there is a story pair called Good People/Bad People - no romance, just Reid! Also, Caltech and Laryngitis are great Reid fics - Caltech has Garcia in it, but a lot of Reid, too. Uh, if you want Reid romance but not with a team member, you can read mine! :) (Double Take)

[briasoleil.livejournal.com]

I'm with you. I'm always on the lookout for good Reid fic that doesn't involve intra-team romance.

Eligent (http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1100037/Eligent)'s fic is worthy of a read.

Trompe L'oeil (http://sodakey.livejournal.com/7417.html), bysodakey.Or here (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5611515/1/Trompe_Loeil) at FF.net.
Summary: In Breckenridge, Colorado, Reid sees Gideon for the first time since Gideon left the BAU. Gideon doesn't see Reid.
Comment: It's a gen team fic, and it's rather long, but I was simply blown away not only by the intriguing plot, but also by the spot-on characterization of the whole team. ^__^

My Heart Under My Feet (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6054775/1/My_Heart_Under_My_Feet) by Holdur at FF.net
Comment: This is a remix of Bessemerprocess' fic Five Ways Spencer Reid Falls Down (http://archiveofourown.org/works/32905). Reid and Elle are the main characters here, and it explores what might happen once they're on the run from the FBI. Fabulous characterization, and the last two sentences in the fic is totally the killer.

The Art of Sacrifice in Chess (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5785696/1/The_Art_of_Sacrifice_in_Chess), also by Holdur at FF.net
Summary: When Gideon leaves, Reid doesn't give up playing chess. Quite the opposite.
Comment: Fabulous look into Reid's head, and how he tries to deal with Gideon leaving.

Bread is to Stone as Fish is to Serpent (http://www.yuletidetreasure.org/archive/41/breadis.html) by Isilya.
Comment: This one's probably been recced to death since it's really *that* awesome, but what the hell, once more wouldn't hurt. :D Can't tell much in the way of summary without spoiling the fic, but let me just say this fic is amazing, the narrator voice is totally believable, and the conclusion is totally unexpected it makes you crave for more :DDD
