Length: 3,980 words
Timeline: Post-Season 4, Episode 16 “Elephant’s Memory”

Fandom: Criminal Minds
Rating: PG-13
Length: 4,800 words
Warnings: Attempted non-con, hurt/comfort, blink and you miss it reference to Revelations.
Notes: Autistic-coded Spencer Reid
Synopsis: The bright lights, the pounding bass of the music, too many bodies shoved together mixed with too many voices talking over each other just trying to be heard and seen and known over everything else? No, this was not the type of place Spencer Reid felt he could relax in after a long case.

Haven’t posted here for… a while. With Twitter issues and everything else, figured I would sign in again and poke it with a stick.

Life updates:

The adorable kitty you see in this icon is still alive and kicking. She’s 19, mostly deaf, and mostly senile, but has turned into a cuddle monster. A randomly screaming cuddle monster trying to hear herself again, but a cuddle monster.

Work exploded, then imploded, then I got switched to a different department with very little warning. Learning curve has been interesting. Job less so, but I keep my tenure, PTO, and benefits so…

Got published! Twice! Two short stories under a pen name I am not sharing here. If you know me in real life, I’ve prob already told you because I was bouncing off the walls with excitement.

The rest is random health issues and stress from being one of the department heads for a local con, so I won’t bore anyone with that. If anyone is still around and reading, that is. 😽
