Or, alternately, Why It Totally Would NOT Have Been Awesome If Hotch had beaten Chester Hardwicke to a Bloody Pulp near the end of CM 3x14, Damaged. (In a related note, I finished Night Watch on Thursday and....yeah. Completely as fantastic as everybody says it is.) Essay reposted from its origins on the Television Without Pity CM Thread.

( "When we break down, it all breaks down. That's just how it works. You can bend it, and if you make it hot enough you can bend it in a circle, but you can't break it. When you break it, it all breaks down until there's nothing unbroken."- Night Watch, Terry Pratchett. )

So, wonder of wonders, the University actually closed down to non-critical employees during yesterday's blizzard. (You laugh, but the Uni nearly never closes for snow. It is a running joke worthy of Pratchett.) This is this biggest snow event I can remember since the '96 blizzard. Which I found much cooler mostly because I was 11 and could play in it. I did mostly nothing yesterday, except watch through the Whedonverse with the Fraternal Guy. (We're on Angel Season Four right now, and it is highly enjoyable.)

Today, they are trying to dig out from under, and opened about 20 minutes ago. But since I have the time stored up, and the shoveling needed to get done, I called out. So TFG and I just finished the shoveling, and are preparing to put the kettle on while watching more Angel. Snowpocalypse, Now-ish. I may attempt a batch of cranberry sauce later. Plus, it is one of my nights to cook, AKA Ravioli and Salad Night. Nom.

So, very good time for MEME! (blame

katewallace . Again. She is my enabler. :)

1. REPLY TO THIS MEME BY YELLING "MY NAME IS THE MASTER", AND I WILL GIVE YOU FIVE WORDS THAT REMIND ME OF YOU.
2. THEN POST THEM IN YOUR JOURNAL AND EXPLAIN WHAT THEY MEAN TO YOU.
3. KEEP IN MIND THAT IF I DON'T KNOW YOU THAT WELL, YOUR WORDS MIGHT END UP KIND OF ODD OR WEIRD. IF I DO KNOW YOU, YOUR WORDS WILL MAYBE PROBABLY BE WEIRD.

Notes: a) This is a completed fic, written back in the fall of 2008 and archived originally at FF.net. My crop of WIPs is kicking my ass. And I suddenly recalled I had never reposted this to LJ! So, thus, a chapter a day, until it's finished.
b) Waverly, Iowa does exist, and I have tried for accuracy in detail, but this version is fictional, and any resemblance to real people is purely coincidental. Especially since I have never been to Iowa.
c) I am completely ignoring the various timeline weirdness and decided to have Rossi, Gideon and Hotch on the team at the same time. If that or the dates bother you, just stop thinking about them. :)

Epilogue

( “In the desert I saw a creature, naked, bestial, /Who, squatting upon the ground, Held his heart in his hands, / And ate of it. I said, "Is it good, friend?" / "It is bitter – bitter", he answered, "But I like it/ Because it is bitter, And because it is my heart." -Stephen Crane )

Rating: FRC. All the whumping mentioned here was inflicted by Chris Mundy, and I am only filling in the comfort half.

Genre: Post-Ep/Gen/Hurt-Comfort

Spoilers: Set immediately after the events of “Nameless, Faceless”, so BIG spoilers up to 5x01.

Characters: Garcia, Reid, JJ, Hotch

Pairing: None

Notes: a) This is (somewhat) part of my Hotch/Garcia post-ep series, retroactively tagged as the NightWatch’verse. Which started with “I Watched”, and the most recent of which was “The Devil and Mr. Coffee”. (Which is now necessarily AU, given that the ending was Bernero’d by the premiere.)

b) Yes, I know, I should be working on Chapter Three of VITA, but I have writer’s block on that, and this story would NOT LET ME BE until I wrote it.

c) I have actually scored the eponymous word in Scrabble, in real life. True facts.

Summary: In the peace of evening, after the harsh light of day, Garcia goes to visit her boys in the hospital.

Spoilers: This is set in the nebulous near future, so up to 4.25/26, “To Hell and Back”. Nothing specific for now.

Genre: Crossover (Discworld); Gen

Characters: Hotch; DEATH (Earth); appearances by everybody else.

Pairing: None
Beta: The lovely and talented amichevole

Summary: After a raid goes horribly wrong, Hotch find himself in an unusual position. He's never been an apprentice before. But then again, DEATH (Earth) has never *had* an apprentice before, so they're even.

Current Mood: accomplished
Current Location: no longer near a cat
Current Music: Street Dogs- "State of Grace"

Disclaimers: Neither Aaron Hotchner, Penelope Garcia, Kevin Lynch, or Jennifer Jareau belong to me. Although I am currently using them with less cruelty than their actual owner. (DAMN YOU ED BERNERO.) I also don’t own the Douglas Adams quote that Hitchhiker’s Guide fans will be able to spot.

Rating: FRT Lots of angst, and mentions of violence, injury and blood.

Spoilers: Being that it’s partly a post-ep, BIG HUGE AWFUL ONES for the end of 4.25/26, “To Hell and Back”.

Genre: Missing Scene/Post-Ep/Angst/AU (due to the events of 5x01)

Characters: Hotch and Garcia, with cameos by Kevin and JJ at the end.

Note: This is the final Season 4 entry in my Hotch/Garcia series, that started with “I Watched”. But by god, there will be ones for season 5, or I will know the reason why.
