I just started watching Criminal Minds this season. I'm getting sucked into the fandom, slowly but surely. I *just* read a short Reid/Morgan fic on cm_slash called Down to Your Bones. Reid examining Morgan's scars. Very nice. Morgan is definitely my favorite, I love his interactions with Garcia.
It's hard to find anything on on the cm_slash comm, because they don't use tags or memories, you just have to hunt through. It's a lot easier on bau_fic - they have everything tagged here. And most of the things I see on cm_slash are also posted here. It looks like Reid is in most of the slash fic, with Hotch/Reid being the most popular slash pairing. But Gideon/Reid and Morgan/Reid are very closely matched for second and third.
I wondered about Elle, too. There are usually one of two reasons The Powers That Be will write a character off. Either she requested it for some reason or other (another gig, health, family, bored), or TPTB decided she needed to go (her rating's weren't high enough, they thought the show needed fresh blood.) I hope it's not the latter, because I don't find myself interested in the new one, I'm rather disappointed to see Elle go. So if TPTB did this, I hate to hear it, it doesn't bode well for their decisions for the rest of the show/cast/character development/whatever.
I've been meaning to go through criminalxminds and see if they mention why she left, 'cause that happened when I was avoiding LJ, trying to concentrate on a story I'm writing, so I never got the scoop as to why it happened. Besides, I was still pretty new in the fandom, so I wasn't paying that much attention at the time.
So I suggest bau_fic first...I hope you find some good stuff!
