[oliocelottafanfics]

Managed to get this one out for Day 2 of @criminalmindsxdc ! There are already multiple other pieces in the event collection, so go check it out!!

Summary:

Spencer Reid has a brother. It’s not technically a secret. If they asked, he would tell them. It’s not his fault they’ve never bothered.

Barry Allen has a brother. Everyone in Central knows it, and so it comes as no surprise that when the particle accelerator explodes, Barry isn’t technically alone.

Or, Spencer and Barry are twins. While most people are aware of this, it somehow hasn’t come up around the BAU team. When Barry is struck by lightning, Spencer’s not-so-secret life unravels before their very eyes.

[criminalmindsxdc]

Hello hello hello, everyone!

Our Ao3 collection is now open for submissions! It's technically Monday somewhere out there, so feel free to post away! Please note that a mod will need to approve any submissions though, so don't worry if it doesn't show up right away.

If you post anything here on Tumblr, please tag us so we can share your wonderful work here too!

Criminal Minds x DC Week @criminalmindsxdc

Day 4 || Agent and Bat Childhood Friends || Gothamite!BAU Agent

I’m having way tooo much fun with this idea...

It ends and begins like poetry.

Now, Spencer would not usually say that a phone call, of all things, was poetic. Normally he would reserve such a compliment for something more obvious - a sunset, a concerto, a moment that truly deserved it.

The phone call itself was not poetic, though. It was the moments - the seconds, minutes, weeks, years - that followed that made it so.

The phone call was a door slamming closed, a symbolic end to his life as it was, and a forced start to the version it became.

Before the phone call was the yelling. The screaming. The fighting. After the phone call came the cars. After the phone call came the lights, red and blue and red and blue — then the sirens, and the officers, and the doctors, and the questions, and the apologies. Too many apologies, too much pity—

Spencer never was good with pity.

He had always been better at running.

Day 2 for Criminal Minds x DC Week 2023! @criminalmindsxdc

Also known as me starting another mini-series because I’m having too much fun~

Derek knocks on the door, yells out for Riely. Once, twice…even a third time. There’s no response, and behind him, Spencer can hear Emily shifting her weight to look around.

“I don’t hear anything from the other rooms, either. Are we really sure this is the right place?” she says skeptically.

Derek shoots her a look over his shoulder. “You see anywhere else that fits his pattern?”

Emily starts to argue, but she doesn’t make it any farther than opening her mouth.

There’s a sudden clunk followed by a hiss that Spencer wants to pretend he doesn’t recognize but doesn’t dare take the risk. He swears loudly, and then the world moves in a blur.

He grabs Derek by the collar and yanks hard, at the same time hurrying backwards to guard Emily from what’s to come.

The gas is as sickly green as ever, a tinge of yellow to it that makes it reminiscent of the color of months old mustard. It rolls down the hall as if in slow motion, and Spencer gets them shoved into a - hopefully - empty room and slams the door just in time. He’s tugging his sweater off in the next second, bulletproof vest already tossed aside, and then shoving the plush material along the bottom of the door in an attempt to block any of the gas from getting in.

He tries to ignore the little wisps of yellowy-green that have already made it through, tries not to panic. He knows to be thankful for years of built up tolerance, and knows that the slight pulse of anxiety suddenly clutching at his heart is all that he’ll get if he’s lucky.

[criminalmindsxdc]

Time for the countdown!

Happy Monday, Profilers and Vigilantes alike!

We are officially 1 WEEK away from kicking off our first ever Criminal Minds x DC Crossover Week! I know I’m excited, so I hope you are too!

As we close in on our first posting day, lets run through some reminders. Below I’ve linked the three biggest things:

FAQ

Prompt List

Ao3 Collection

Please follow those links for anything that you need help with - but if you can’t find your answers there, please feel free to message me!

Now, a few other things:

Please remember to include which day/prompt you are filling in either the tags or summary of the fic!

Next, I did have a couple people ask, so I’m putting it here as well: this is an all inclusive event. All ships are welcome here, so be free, have fun, and enjoy creating beautiful chaos (should you so please).

Lastly! If you want us to reblog your fics or art here on Tumblr, please make sure to use #cmxdc2023 or #cmxdc submission in your tags so I will be able to find it easily! Make sure to tag and rate things properly as well so we can add it to the collection! Dark and NSFW are, once again, absolutely permitted and encouraged given the typical subject matter within Criminal Minds but it still must be properly tagged. Please refer to the FAQ link above should you have more questions in that regard. Thank you all for understanding and working with us!

We can’t wait to see what you all create!
