Slash pairings?

[renee7931.livejournal.com]

When you read Criminal Minds slash, what are your preferred pairings, and why? Hotch/Reid, Morgan/Reid, JJ/Prentiss...what do you gravitate toward?

Hotch/Reid. It just seems like a beautiful thing to me.

Morgan/Reid. It just feels the closest to canon out of all the potential slash pairings. I can't slash Hotch. Just -- no. It makes no sense in my mind.

Since Reid is one of my favorite characters, I can read him paired with anyone het or slash. Morgan is a great character for him to be paired with, since their closeness is pretty much canon. Hotch on the other hand comes across as a controlled, emotionless character unless his family comes into play. I've read some really good Hotch slash, but I don't seek it out.

I can see Reid with just about anyone, slash or het, simply because everyone seems to love him so much, and he seems to love everyone. But the one that makes the most sense to me is with Gordon.

seconded!

Reid/Hotch. Not sure why...just do. :)

I prefer Hotch/Reid. I can read Reid/Morgan, but sometimes it turns me off, especially with Morgan's childhood. I love Rossi/Prentiss, and Morgan/Garcia.
My guilty pleasures are JJ/Hotch, Rossi/Hotch and for the mind boggling! Hotch/Morgan. I know, I'm weird, but I like to read almost every pairing that actually makes sense to me.

Do you mean Gideon?

[silver-chipmunk.livejournal.com]

No, I mean Morgan. Do not ask why I keep calling him Gordon, there's probably some bizzare psychological reason that I don't even want to think about.

[renee7931.livejournal.com]

Whew! I was trying not to cringe because the thought of Gideon getting it on with anyone squicks me out! I prefer Morgan/Reid also. :)

Morgan/Reid, but I like Hotch/Reid too, if it's done right.

I can't help it...

[britt-m-89.livejournal.com]

but Reid is just too slashable. I'll read about any pairing with him. My OTP though is Reid/Prentiss <3.

My new best friend! Reid/Prentiss is my het OTP.:D

Have you been reading Madlori's fic?

Obsessively! I comment every day to tell her how awesome she is!

I honestly just can't even pick someone for Reid. I want to ship him with everyone. Though I suppose if I tallied up which I read the most, it'd be Reid/Morgan, but I'm totally open to all Reid pairings (slash or het). I also have a bit of a guilty pleasure for Reid/Gideon, though not in a sexual way.

Oh, and in the show, I totally ship JJ/Prentiss. I just don't read fic of them or actively ship them in fandom.

I have to speak up for the Hotch/Rossi fans. In my case, I just see deep connection there and a level of comfort that is extremely appealing

[runriggers.livejournal.com]

Definitely Morgan/Hotch - two sexy men getting it together? What's not to like?! I know a lot of people like Morgan/Reid pairs, but I see their relationship more as big brother/little brother than completely equals if you will, whereas I see Morgan/Hotch as a pairing of equals.

I gravitate toward Morgan/Reid first because they're the reason I started watching the show. The first thing I ever watched of "Criminal Minds" their conversation at the end of "Conflicted" and was instantly intrigued by this show. Then, as I got to know the show I started seeing Hotch/Reid, Morgan/Hotch and (most recently) Rossi/Hotch. I don't really ship those three, but I wouldn't be adverse to reading fic about them, lol. I don't do femmeslash just in general but I can see why people would ship JJ/Prentiss.

[procedurals.livejournal.com]

I'm another Reid/anyone (male or female) shipper, but I do gravitate towards Reid/Morgan. I also ship Chekov/Sulu so there's something about the genius and the badass that gets to me, I guess :)

[sallymn.livejournal.com]

Morgan/Reid worked for me from the minute I saw it :)

[brittdavis21.livejournal.com]

Morgan/Reid or Hotch/Rossi. I love Morgan and Reid together ever since the first "pretty boy" and Hotch and Rossi, I don't know.

[mfirefly10.livejournal.com]

JJ/Emily, all the way :D

Surprisingly, that's the only slash pairing I have for this show.

I know a lot of people like Reid/Morgan or Reid/Hotch but I just don't see it. The only main character I've ever shipped Reid with was JJ and that was only very early in the series. He just seems too young for the rest of them, more like their kid brother than a love interest.

Then again, I only have two 'ships for this show (and this from someone who is a notorious ship-whore!): JJ/Emily and Morgan/Garcia.

Completely and totally agreed.

Plus it would be super hot.
