❄️🥤

I feel like I should say before I answer these that I am woefully behind in the world of Hotchniss fanfic. I didn't actually read any before I published my first one (under this name, after like an 8 year break) because I loved it as soon as I started it and I knew I would intimidate myself out of posting. Then I peeked right before I published and I very nearly did intimidate myself out of posting because there was a thing on the front page at the time set at the exact same point in canon by a clearly established name (as you are aware, it was you lol) and I panicked. So like, I know that's the kind of thing I do, so while I'm partway through a 16 chapter thing, I'm keeping a little out of the loop because I really don't want to scare myself away. ANYWAY here I go.

❄️ ⇢ what's your dream theme/plot for a fic, and who would write it best?

You know, I actually have no idea. . . I used to have an answer to this, then I started writing it. There are a lot of AUs that always spark my interest, speculative stuff like soul marks etc, that are easier to find a way into for Crazy Ex Girlfriend just for genre reasons, but that I would looove to see CM version of. But I'm not familiar enough with the names in the fandom yet to start nominating people to make my dreams come true lol. Also like the idea of a Hotchniss getting back together after breaking up fic. . . so many ways that could go.

🥤 ⇢ recommend an author or fanfic you love

Recently felt a lot of love for Five Times Emily Prentiss Keeps Her Hands To Herself (And One Time She Doesn't) by SloanGreyMercyDeath. (It's early seasons Jemily, which I could totally see - later seasons Jemily is not my jam.)

And Weeknight at Spencer's by moonlitesonata, a nearly-the-whole-team character study type thing from Morgan's POV that made me realise I need to stop filtering by ships because I love all of these people.

But also I made an exception to my weird self-imposed rule to intimidate myself further by reading I like shiny things but I’d marry you with paper rings, which I read on lunches at work with no signal and haven't gone back to comment on yet, but I am obsessed with every one of these adorable scenarios.

[unitchiefs-blackbirdphoenix]

6 and 15 for the cm asks?

6) Favorite fanfic

I’ll give a top 5 bc I can’t narrow down to just one lol: (all found on AO3)

Growing Up with Three Moms by WritersBlockBites (It’s a sequel to another story by the same author and Emily and JJ raise a teenage Henry)

requiem for a friendship by sunshineandguns (S16 Jemily angst and me missing their friendship)

May I Approach? by SloanGreyMercyDeath (Jemily AU of one of my favorite movies, Legally Blonde)

playing with fire by baunitchief (JJ and Emily are estranged but are still raising the boys, while coping with the death of their daughter, Caroline; tw for sa and alcoholism)

Tamed by pictureswithboxes (Emily journeys through her relationship with JJ through domesticity with Henry and her fear of commitment)

15) Least favorite non-canon ship

Jeid and Hotchniss. Jeid never made sense to me romantically and I can’t really get behind Hotchniss.

[tedwinisconfused]

6 and 8!

6) I don’t think I could pick just one, but some of my favourites include In the Lap of Luxury by SloanGreyMercyDeath, don’t let your heart grow cold by sunshineandguns, you’re a cowboy like me by potidaea, and Late Bloomer by angestreet!

8) I think Anderson is fun as a side character, and I love Henry too.

[sunsets-aremy-otp]

[blackbird-brewster]

Only a prompt if you wanna, mostly just an idea for cheer: Jemily Legally Blonde AU except JJ!Elle gets in lesbians with Prentiss!Vivian instead.

1. This is WILD timing because two nights ago I rewatched Legally Blonde for the first time in about a decade

2. THIS EXISTS ALREADY! 'May I Approach?' by SloanGreyMercyDeath (@jenny-from-the-bau)

[o-kay-things]

I take it this is for Jemily so that’s what I’m going with. (If not lmk) Some authors you NEED to check out are: SloanGreyMercyDeath (Ao3), shetookyourbreathaway (Ao3), vhsrights (Ao3), jcreaus (Ao3)  Other fics not by authors mentioned above: [an attempt at a Christmas romcom] by LtTanyaBoone, Feelings 101 by writingatlast, someplace, sometime by gothwyfe, The Unforeseen Domination of Emily Prentiss by Lanierose442, What Are the Odds by supergayjo, I may just take your breath away by gravelyhumerus    All of those are on Ao3 Also on ff.net theres a like 72 part series by ARtheBard that’s Jemily if you wanna take that journey lol.  Also also some of the above are NSFW as a warning. 

[beaglesinbowties]

Not sure if they'll match your tastes, but these are a few notable ones I read though (all on Ao3), mind the tags

Keeper of the Winds by lysachan

AU Prentiss never joined BAU and JJ meets her on vacation at a ranch. Complete, not very angsty.

Known Subject by TheGeekinPink90

AU during the time Prentiss is 'dead'. Bodies start piling up with clover brands. WIP so a soft rec.

Rude by EvaMawesome7

AU Prentiss and JJ start off on the wrong foot with JJ being pissed she got passed on the job opening. WIP.

Born Into Bad Choices by SloanGreyMercyDeath

This author likes pining and has written multiple stories for the ship. This one is canon divergence that asks what if Prentiss has a secret kid. WIP

the thrill of it all by baunitchief (emeryazure)

JJ angst this time.

Five Times Emily Prentiss Doesn't Know That JJ Is Her Girlfriend (And One Time She Does) by SloanGreyMercyDeath

Pining. Complete.
