tl;dr - been writing genderswap, it's kinda fun.

I'll be honest. I kinda wanted to name this series "Spencer Reid, Self-Rescuing Princess", but I managed to contain myself. I've been wanting to play with some of the gender issues on Criminal Minds for a while, and, well, here's a bit of what I've been playing with. Four stand-alone pieces, but they work best if you read them through. (Chronologically out of order) (and ignore that one is in present-tense please).


Extrapolation
A Criminal Minds fic
Part One of the Fragility Optional verse
by [personal profile] mhalachai


At AO3

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4

Summary: Given all that's happened, you'd think no one would expect Spencer Reid to put on high heels and slink out undercover.
Rating: PG
Setting: Set in the latter half of season six, post Lauren.
Characters: BAU!team, Spencer Reid, Ashely Seaver
Words: 1,995
Notes: Genderswap!Spencer/always a girl!Spencer

Hotch does not, Spencer notes with a mix of internal amusement and frustration, tell Seaver that she'll be safe.  )

Incongruity in Ambulances
A Criminal Minds fic
Part Two of the Fragility Optional verse
by [personal profile] mhalachai

At AO3

Summary: Spencer always knew this was a possibility. She just didn't realize that killing a man in the line of duty would feel so... weird.
Rating: PG-13, mentions of violence
Setting: In CM season 1's LDSK; actually, a genderswap re-write of the end of that ep.
Characters: Spencer Reid, Aaron Hotcher, Derek Morgan, Jennifer Jareau.
Words: 1,360
Notes: Genderswap!Spencer/always a girl!Spencer. Before anyone has any comments about Hotch in this, I refer to his canon back-story in Natural Born Killer, and extrapolate. See notes in Part 1.

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4

She didn't want to think of anything else. Not the heavy weight of the small gun in her hand, not the aches and pains in her body, not the words Hotch had said to her in the emergency room. Definitely not shooting a man in the head. )

A Girl Not Lacking in Initiative
A Criminal Minds fic
Part Three of the Fragility Optional verse
by [personal profile] mhalachai


At AO3

Summary: Aaron Hotchner isn't sure if Jason Gideon is having a mid-life crisis, or if Spencer Reid really does belong in the BAU.
Rating: PG
Setting: Before the series; before Spencer joins the FBI
Characters: Aaron Hotcher, Haley Hotchner, talking about Jason Gideon and Spencer Reid.
Words: 1,330
Notes: Genderswap!Spencer/always a girl!Spencer. Because really, Gideon's method of bringing Spencer into the FBI was bound to raise a few eyebrows. See notes in Part 1.

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4

Aaron couldn't stop a small smile from crossing his face. ''There is absolutely nothing usual about Spencer Reid.'' )

Empty Yesterdays
A Criminal Minds fic
Part Four of the Fragility Optional verse
by [personal profile] mhalachai

Summary: What do you do when the center of your universe walks away?
Rating: PG
Setting: beginning of season three, after Gideon leaves but before Rossi joins the team
Characters: Spencer Reid, Emily Prentiss
Words: 1,135
Notes: Genderswap!Spencer/always a girl!Spencer. This part references Spencer's drug use. See notes in Part 1.

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4

Spencer sat in the empty office, now stripped bare of Gideon's possessions, and stared at the shadows cast on the wall by the setting sun. )

Results Round I of Round IV of Summaries for Dummaries! There are still some other prompts I'm working on, so fret not.

This time is a bit different because I expanded on some of these, into scenes from a story I'm not going to write, as well as a few ficlettes. There's also one other one where I ended up writing over 3,000 words of SG1/Glee Kurt fic and have hit a wall, but hopefully I can rescue that one (I believe in me).

Without more rambling on my part, the crossover fic!

(results of Round I, Round II, Round III)

The Diary of Helga Hufflepuff (Highlander/Harry Potter) (snippet) )

Welcome to the first instalment in the new CBS spin-off, Criminal Minds: Auror Division (ok not really but that's a spin-off I'd watch)

In Darkness
A Criminal Minds/Harry Potter crossover story
by [personal profile] mhalachai


Summary: To the world around him, Aaron Hotchner is a (somewhat) normal FBI agent, with a somewhat normal son and a moderately normal life. He's never told his team who he was... before. When he was known as Aaron Black.

Rating: PG/FRT. (see warnings)
Characters: Aaron Hotchner-centric. Includes Penelope Garcia, Jack Hotchner, the BAU, and a guest starring spot from Harry Potter to kick off the spin-off.
Setting: Years after the HP books. Set immediately after the most recent episode of CM, "Hanley Waters". No spoilers for Lauren, except for one glaring character omission.
Warnings: Canon reference to past child abuse, liberties with character backgrounds (as can be expected in a crossover), rambling.
Story type: Gen
Words: 3,730
Disclaimer: None of these characters are mine. The mash-up idea, however, is.
Notes at the end.

The man waits for Aaron during the morning briefing. )

Branching Out
A Criminal Minds/Stargate crossover


Summary: Jennifer Jareau's first day as liaison for the Department of Defense really wasn't what she expected.
Characters: Jennifer JJ Jareau, General Jack O'Neill. Cameos by the original SG1 team.
Rating: a very mild PG.
Spoilers: Please Note that this story is one giant spoiler for Criminal Minds 6x02, JJ.
Disclaimer: As will surprise no one, I own nothing related to Criminal Minds or Stargate. I borrow from existing characters and storylines, and mashed things up to make something new and shiny and totally for my own entertainment and not a profit.

Author's note: the Author's note contains spoilers for Criminal Minds 6x02, JJ ) tl;dr there I fixed it.

So I've been watching some most all Criminal Minds over the last little while. I lurve it. Have a ficlette I wrote as part of my attempt to get over this tedious writer's block.

Immutability

by [livejournal.com profile] mhalachaiswords


Summary: Once part of the team, always part of the team. That's what Spencer told himself as he walked up the stairs.

Warning: Off-screen character death; plot slight-of-hand
Spoilers: Episode 5.09, "100". Set in the slight future.

Note: Hey look, I wrote a story with no crossover and no female characters. I think hell's frozen over.

Jason Gideon was in the hallway when Spencer returned. )
