Criminal Minds Rare Pairings

Title: Blood Cold & Heart Warm
Author: Tooks
Pairing: Reid/Ethan
Rating: FRM
Summary: Spencer couldn’t figure out what it was, but something seemed wrong as his friend slipped in through the window.
Notes: I've given Reid and Ethan about a five year age difference and how the pairing is read (slash or gen) is up to you, but I'm tagging it as slash. I couldn't think of a better title or summary for some reason. This piece is pretty angsty, kinda dark, and involves the violent sexual abuse of a male minor by a family member so (while not completely written out) it may be triggering.

Title: Apathy As Disguise: Part 2
Author: Tooks
Pairing: Hotch/Reid, Reid/Ethan
Rating: FRAO
Summary: When neither Hotch nor Ethan can keep hiding how they feel it's up to Reid to make a tough decision...one that will affect them all.
Notes: This is AU but there are Season 5 spoilers!! Second part of Piece 20 of my "Breaking the Bonds" series. There's cursing, drunkenness, references to drug usage and sexual activity, physical violence, and, as always, angst. (Ethan was Reid's friend from Season 2's "Jones".) This is pretty much the end of this particular story...More tales will come in this world, I'm sure, but I don't know what, exactly, they will be - when I do, you will too though, haha!

Title: Green With Tension
Author: Tooks
Pairing: Reid/Ethan, Hotch/Reid
Rating: FRAO
Summary: Reid introduces the team to Ethan which delights the team, but irks Hotch...and leads to increased tension all around.
Notes: This is AU but there are Season 5 spoilers!! Piece 18 of my "Breaking the Bonds" series. There's cursing, references to child abuse (which may be triggering), and, as always, angst. (Ethan was Reid's friend from Season 2's "Jones".) This one had, at least, 5 different versions but I think this one works best with the characters and what I see coming next for them...I hope, haha!

Title: Best Rivals Forever
Author: Tooks
Pairing: Reid/Ethan
Rating: FRT
Summary: One of the ways Spencer Reid and his friend, Ethan, could have bonded in school.
Notes: This just jumped up in my head this morning...I have a few others stewing in my head as well so might write them at some point too. It's set around 1990 or so and so Reid's about 10 and Ethan, I decided, is about 15. Rating's mostly for language, there's a little h/c angle working here too but it's not heavy. How the pairing is read (slash or gen) is up to you but I'm tagging as slash cause that was the idea. Oh and I gave Ethan a last name, it'll be the same no matter the story I write. :-)
