wylan van eck character of all time. deeply anxious and pathetic while also being a snarky little bitch. manages to perfectly balance both an inferiority and superiority complex. sees his boss/sort of kidnapper take someoneās eye out and then throw them overboard and proceeds to yell at him for it. stops in the middle of breaking into one of the most secure strongholds in the world to ask his crush if he likes guys. wholeheartedly believes his inability to read is a moral failing. plays the flute. blows things up for profit. has genya make him a little hotter when heās getting tailored back. is a good enough actor to fool the whole merchant council but cannot control his own blush. has a constant internal monologue questioning all his life choices. makes a bet over his dad wanting to kill him. maintains extremely one-sided beef with the guy who kissed his sort of boyfriend. loves his friends. loves his mom. has a beautiful tenor. is nice to his stepmomās birds. spits in his abusive dadās face. gets super beat up for a job and all the other characters are like hey you really didnāt have to go that hard and his response is basically āyeah i know i wanted to <3ā.

Rules
The fic can be a Reader insert, or a character/character ship. It can feature any Criminal Minds character.
Tag me in the fic, or send it to me in a Direct Message. It can be already written, or you can write it just for the challenge - Iām collecting both! You can also tag it ā#mentioningmarginsā which is a tag I track.
The fic can be any genre, but ONLY send me smut if your bio states you are 18+. I DO NOT WANT smut written by minors. Ever. At all. I will check. Platonic ships and pure, fluffy fics are 100% allowed.
Please include Content Warnings and a one-sentence Summary of the fic in your post.
Have fun!
The Masterlist of fics will be posted around February 1. If you finish after that, no problem - just send me the fic once youāre done and Iāll add it after-the-fact!
Feel free to message me if you want help developing a plot, have any questions, or just want to gush about your fic. Iām happy to help, and Iām happy youāre here ā¤ļø
You still have more than half a month left to join us! Comfort fics are the easiest ones to write in quick blurbs. Iād love to see what you can come up with ā¤ļø
this is going around twitter rn but im also super curious: please tell me your topĀ four comfort movies that youāre always down to watch bc my friend thinks mine are ridiculous and now weāve realised everyoneās version ofĀ ācomfortā is hilariously different
I was a part of the @cmgiftexchange and I got @spencer-reids-adventures ā¼ļø

Hello, friends! This is Sarah (formerly @/reidactually) with a little update: I deactivated back in January for health reasons, and in the past few months, my life has improved quite a bit. Iāve been writing like a fiend, and I missed quite a few of you. So I made a blog for my multi-chapter fic Shallows, and will be posting updates here as I update on AO3. Writing was the whole point of joining Tumblr, right? Iām using my old taglist, so if you want to be added/removed/if we were mutuals before, just send me an ask or a DM, or feel free to pop in and say hello :)
I will be updating later today, so just a heads up! Synopsis and taglist under the cut!
