Subfandom: Flash Family, Other (Criminal Minds)
Media: Comics, TV Shows
Relationships: Gen (Irey West & Jennifer "JJ" Jareau)
Year: 2026
Rating: Gen
Warnings: Implied/Referenced Death
Summary:
JJ’s shoes skid on the asphalt when she rounds the corner, stiffening limbs locking her in place as her stomach tumbles over itself and the air is sucked from her lungs. Her gun dips to her feet, aim taken off the unsub. Her fingers spasm around the handle in protest, but she cannot lift it. She cannot point her gun at a child. — The BAU doesn’t often encounter metahumans, children metahumans even less so. So when they begin to investigate the recent spree killings spanning Keystone and Central City, dubbed the work of the ‘Phantom Killer,’ JJ does not expect to find a nine-year-old girl in pigtails standing over the electrocuted body of an eighth victim, air crackling and skin blurring, looking like a ghost. alternatively: Irey West just wants to get home.

Submitter's comment:
Such an insane fic!! I love the outsider POV and the time travel and poor IREY!!!!! The angst is so good! Was such a great read.
Do the majority of mdzs readers have strong preferences about honorific translations?
Fanfic Honorific Preference
Pinyin Honorifics (ex. zongzhu, gongzi, jiujiu/shushu/etc.)
English Translation (ex. sect leader, master/young master, uncle, etc.)
Mix (ex. sect leader, but also familial terms like jiujiu and shushu, etc.)
No Strong Preferences
I've seen a good mix so far and not necessarily one way dominating another. This is for my own purposes. If there's no overwhelming strong preference, that makes my life easier. Maybe.
Hm.
Well.

Aroace Damian and gay, hopelessly in-love Jon but they actually make it work.
Jon thinking he can never love someone as much as he loves Damian as both his best friend and romantic love of his life; Damian never loving a non-family member as much as he platonically loves Jon and not being able to comprehend living his life without Jon in it.
Cuddling on the couch while watching a movie.
Dinner together both staying in and going out to restaurants.
Going for walks in the park, petting dogs, sitting down for a picnic, Jon napping under the sun while Damian sketches him and the scenery.
Buying gifts just because it reminds them of each other.
Being each other’s plus ones to events because who else would they take?
Living together with separate bedrooms even if Jon slips into Damian’s bed for cuddles every once in a while, more and more often as Damian gets accustomed to it.
Jon coming home and giving Damian a kiss on the head or cheek, and Damian occasionally casually doing the same. Perfectly acceptable show of both romantic and platonic love.
People ask what their relationship is, but they’ve always been partners, ever since they were preteens. The only thing that’s changed is the type of love they hold for the other. They still love each other with their whole beings, more than they love anyone else. What’s it matter if what they feel individually has a slightly different tone? They make it work.

“Hyung, do you find men attractive?” “Sure, I suppose,” Cheonhee said absently. Then he paused and turned his head to Halyun, blinking owlishly. Slowly, he sat back down at the table, eyes not moving from where they pinned Halyun to his seat. Halyun tried and failed not to feel self-conscious at the growing intensity of Cheonhee's stare. Resting his interlocked fingers on the table, Cheonhee took a fortifying breath. “Halyun, I want you to know that I'll continue to support you no matter what. You do not need to fear judgment from me–” He glanced down at Halyun's splinted fingers, the stitching he just performed hidden underneath, and his eye twitched. He looked back up. “–about matters like this.” “...What?” ─── Four times Cheonhee ignored Halyun's feelings, and the one time Halyun received an answer.

fic of the week
Malignant by forgetmesunflower
Usually, this is where suspects ask why they’re being held, if they don’t immediately request a lawyer. Grayson doesn’t do either. "You don't seem surprised," Gideon says. Grayson’s face pinches. “Unfortunately, I think I have an idea what this is about.” — While in Blüdhaven, Spencer Reid and Jason Gideon learn of four abduction cases that could resemble the pattern of a serial killer. When a common denominator is found in the girls’ gymnastics studio, their instructor, Richard Grayson, is brought in for questioning.
Criminal Minds and DC crossover. Outsider POV, case fic, very nicely done.
All these fics were supposed to be short!!
Half of them are gonna be late...

The team gets called in after a boy was picked up outside of Norfolk, Nebraska, scarred, scared, and the skin of his ankles rubbed raw from chains. “Earlier this morning, another boy was reported missing in Blue Valley.” Aaron swipes his tablet to the photo. "Wallace West, thirteen, goes by Wally. His parents say he never made it home after school.”

The funeral is nothing like the traditions Dick once described to Cass. And no one is laughing. This is not the kind of funeral Dick would have wanted.

“Looks like the snow will melt today. Did you shovel it?” Jason asks. Alfred rests his hands in his lap, shoulders slanted. “No.” Bruce wouldn’t think to shovel such a meager amount, and Tim has been on the other side of the country for the last week. No one else lives here anymore. So Dick shoveled the snow.
