Title: The Unrequited Middle
Author: Tooks
Pairing: Hotch/Reid, Reid/Ethan
Rating: FRT
Summary: Even without returning their overtures Reid still finds himself stuck between both Hotch and Ethan.
Notes: This is AU but there are Season 5 spoilers. Another of my "Breaking the Bonds" series and this one picks up right after The Big What If There's a bit of drinking, bit of flirting, and open discussion of sexuality...it's also super short (thought it'd be longer, but nope, haha).

( Nothing takes the taste out of peanut butter quite like unrequited love. ~ Charlie BrownCollapse )

Title: The Big What If
Author: Tooks
Pairing: Hotch/Reid, Rossi
Rating: FRT
Summary: When a case hits close to a new home of Hotch's he has to debate the big "What If?"
Notes: This is AU but there are Season 5 spoilers. Another of my "Breaking the Bonds" series. There's some cursing, some threatening, a bit of drinking, open discussion of sexuality, and a bit of homophobia. (Side bar: Should I attach this to the other main tale in this series or continue to let it stand on its own?)

( Homophobic violence...and homophobia in general might also be ways of adjudicating the anxiety aroused in heterosexual men by their own penetrability. ~ Catherine WaldbyCollapse )

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!

( No pleasure is comparable to standing upon the vantage-ground of truth. ~ Francis BaconCollapse )

Title: Apathy As Disguise: Part 1
Author: Tooks
Pairing: Hotch/Reid, Reid/Ethan
Rating: FRAO
Summary: It's easy for Hotch to pretend, to hope, and to try not to care when it comes to Reid, but his action betray him...the same holds true for Ethan.
Notes: This is AU but there are Season 5 spoilers!! Piece 20 of my "Breaking the Bonds" series...it takes place pretty much just after the last piece and will be a two-parter.

Thanks for your patience readers, it's much appreciated! :D

Title: Triggers of Lust
Author: Tooks
Pairing: Hotch/Reid, Reid/Ethan, Ethan/OFC
Rating: FRAO
Summary: Both Ethan's and Hotch's words from their face-off affect the other...and Reid as well.
Notes: This is AU but there are Season 5 spoilers!! Piece 19 of my "Breaking the Bonds" series...it takes place pretty much just after the last piece. There's cursing, vague references to child abuse, drug usage, lots of sexual activity (het and slash both), and, as always, angst. (Ethan was Reid's friend from Season 2's "Jones".) This one is cut up much like an earlier piece, going back and forth between what's happening with Hotch and Reid and what's happening with Ethan.

Title: Green With Tension
Author: Tooks
Pairing: Hotch/Reid, Reid/Ethan
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!

Pairing: Hotch/Reid, Reid/Ethan
Rating: FRAO
Summary: Reid looks for a brief escape from his doubts while Hotch finds a reason to doubt his current methods of escape.
Notes: This is AU but there are Season 5 spoilers!! Piece 17 of my "Breaking the Bonds" series that, once again, follows after the last piece. There's cursing, references to child abuse and mental illness, aggressive sex between men and, as always, angst. (Ethan was Reid's friend from Season 2's "Jones".) This piece is also set up a little differently, it switches between what's happening with Reid and what's happening with Hotch, so...yeah...just a head's up, haha!
