#444-write about the last call

"You have reached the Temple of Blinding Magnificence. What can your head priestess do for you?"

"Garcia, have you heard from Morgan yet?" Penelope sat up a little straighter at Hotch's voice. There was something off about it, but she couldn't quite pinpoint what.

"Yes, sir, I most certainly have. He's on his way with Rossi and Prentiss to intercept the unsub now. He told me all about your heroics. Running in without backup? Who are you, Morgan? You're just lucky that he took off instead of sticking around to fight back." Hotch laughed, but he didn't sound very amused. Penelope shook her head. The big lug could have really gotten himself hurt. "Is anyone on their way to pick you up yet?" She asked, happily using her purple feathered pencil to push an Oracle action figure into the open arms of Batman .

"Someone's on their way. I don't think they'll get here in time, but they're on their way," Hotch said, his voice sounding rougher, odder than before. He coughed, a wet, mangled sounding cough that definitely wasn't right. Penelope frowned and gripped her pencil so tightly that her fingers turned white.

"What do you mean 'won't get there in time'? In time for what?" The pencil snapped in her hand and Penelope threw it down on her desk with exasperation.

"I need you to do something for me." Hotch was so quiet that Penelope automatically checked that her equipment was still fully connected.

"Aaron, what aren't you telling me? What's wrong?" For several seconds, the only sound on the line was Hotch's rough, uneven breathing. Penelope tapped her fingers nervously against her armrests, her own breath caught in her throat. When Hotch finally spoke again, his voice was thick with what she suddenly recognized as pain.

"I need you to stay on the phone with me. Please, don't hang up. Stay with me. Penelope, I need," Aaron cut himself off with another hacking cough that made Penelope's chest ache with sympathy.

Penelope closed her stinging eyes tightly and swallowed back a sob. "I'm right here, baby. I'm not going anywhere."

#438-an empty bottle, a pair of chopsticks, and a melted candle

They had finished the case, but most of the team barely wanted to expend the energy it would take to travel back to their hotel, much less go through a six hour flight, so Hotch had cleared it so that they could stay overnight. There was a small grocery store next to the hotel and Derek had at it to pick up a few things before heading to Spencer's room. When he opened the door, Spencer was already dressed for bed in a pair of Derek's too big shorts and one of his old football shirts, but he waved him in with a sleepy, pleased smile.

Derek microwaved a couple of 'authentic Asian cuisine' frozen dinners, while Spencer went into the bathroom to grab the complimentary plastic cups to drink the cheap wine out of. They were quiet, only starting to talk when the bottle was nearly empty. Derek topped off their drinks and produced candle from the plastic grocery bag to stick in it. Spencer laughed when it took three matches for Derek to light it. Derek pulled a face and poked him with his chopsticks.

By the time the candle was little more than a stub, they were curled up together at the head of the bed, the glow of moonlight and candlelight throwing the soft shadows over them.

"Today was a bad day," Derek said softly, his grip around Spencer tightening.

"Yeah," Spencer agreed. He pressed his face into the curve of Derek's neck and inhaled deeply. "It definitely could have gone better."

Derek's fingers absently stroked Spencer's waist through his thin cotton shirt. "We almost died." Spencer made a quiet, protesting sound, but Derek continued. "We didn't, but we could have, Spencer. Next time we might not be so lucky. It made me realize that I've never told you that I love you."

Spencer's fingers curled against Derek's chest and his warm breath felt shaky against his neck. "I love you too, Derek."

#407-write about the ten minutes before the story begins

Reid pressed Aaron back against his desk, remarkably aggressive for someone who usually acted so reserved. Aaron gasped for breath as Reid kissed down his neck, his long, elegant fingers making short work of Aaron's tie and shirt buttons. "We can't do this," Aaron managed to force out as Reid's hands-amazing, miraculous, talented hands-slipped lower.

"Why not," Spencer asked, his voice muffled against Aaron's chest. "Because of the rules? No offense, Hotch, but screw the rules."

"No," Aaron panted, one hand fisted in Reid's hair and the other stroking down his back to cup the younger man's ass.

"Why not, then?" Reid dropped to his knees, too absorbed in getting Aaron's belt off to pay too much attention to what he was saying.

"Because we're at work and I didn't lock the door," Hotch said, just as the doorknob started to turn.

I totally cheated on that last one by taking a comment fic from yesterday and slapping an appropriate prompt on it. Oh well.

Happy birthday to topetine! You can claim these as yours if you want, but I'm planning on trying to write something longer and more awesome for you tomorrow. <3

Gotta love wine in plastic cups. That right there is pure class.

[topetine.livejournal.com]

Delovely, dollface, as usual! Great job!

Peace, Love, and Happiness to You...Sarah

[coffeebuddha.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

And major love for the usage of the word delovely. :D

[evilyn-1007.livejournal.com]

The first one was great but so sad. I had tears in my eyes. #2 was sweet. I love them too! I really wasn't even going to read #3. But you wrote, So I had to. I liked that Reid was the aggressor and really want to know who was on the other side of the door. I can't believe I just read Hotch/Reid and actually wanted to know more. *shakes head disbelief*

[coffeebuddha.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

*cackles evily* My master plan is working!
1. Make people like me.
2. Use their liking me to make them read pairings they aren't fans of.
3. ????
4. Profit!

The general consensus-and by 'general consensus', I mean 'topetine and I decided'-is that Morgan's about to come in and help them make their sexy times a little bit sexier.

You really are out to break my heart aren't you? The first one nearly killed me, it was so sad.

I loved the second one; I liked that Derek realized that he doesn't have all the time in the world to tell Spencer and choose to do it then and there, wonderful.

[coffeebuddha.livejournal.com]

Nooo, don't die! I'll write a fluffy band-aid for your heart later. :(

Thank you!

[maldeluxx.livejournal.com]

*adds to the 'marry me' pile* THis is so awesome. :D *giggle*

[coffeebuddha.livejournal.com]

Same conditions apply. I don't do dusting. ;) Thank you!

[rowena-dawson.livejournal.com]

Haha, all these people wanting to marry these, huh? Aren't you miss popular... ;)

Good work as usual. I love the last one...I liked it the first time I read it and I STILL like it. :D

[coffeebuddha.livejournal.com]

People have always loved me for my sunny personality and willingness to do horrible things to their favorite characters. ;)

Thank you! ^.^

[wingstarvegeta.livejournal.com]

Oh my! I should be careful what I ask for. LOL. I teared up for the first and second, and the three made me cackle! Lovely work. I bow down to your truly fabulous skill. Will grovel for more!

Love and cherries,
Wingstar

[coffeebuddha.livejournal.com]

Like I said, people pleaser. ^.^ I really need to sit down and brainstorm ideas for a longer story about those two. Nothing epic, just three or four parts.

Thank you!

[violetfoxeyes.livejournal.com]

lol dont marry me, just agree to live with me so i can get lovily cute and angst fics from you first thing. hehehe Im getting used to garcia/hotch but my first and only loves are Hossi and Moried.

[coffeebuddha.livejournal.com]

Considering the way I update my LJ, the only way you could really get them faster is to read over my shoulder as I type. ;)

I have my favorites, but the right writer can make me like almost any pairing.

[gail19.livejournal.com]

Emotional roller coaster.

Thanks for ending on an up note. The door opening at the wrong time is just so typical.

[coffeebuddha.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[tafidadarling.livejournal.com]

I'm just finally commenting, but I love when you write Hotch/Garica. It's a pairing I'd never think of, but I love it. He needs someone like her who can make him smile. :)

[coffeebuddha.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! He definitely needs more sunshine in his life, and she has it in spades. ^.^ I don't know if it's something you'd be interested in, but the AU I'm working on right now has a pretty big Hotch/Garcia subplot.

[blueberry-09.livejournal.com]

I loved this! I loved every and each one of those.
The first is truly heart-clenching, the second one so intimate that makes me warm and the third...damn I wanna know who's coming inside :P
And I love myself a little proactive!Reid. I think he would do that :D

ps.
If you ever need prompts I am a prompt-machine :D

[coffeebuddha.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! :D

I'll keep that in mind for the next time I do a comment fic post. ;)
