This is part of the "Fathers Are Not Born" universe, all of which can be found at this tag. This is part SIX. Each installment may also be read as a stand alone fic, however it will hopefully add to your enjoyment if you read the series as a whole. :)

Word count: ~15,500
Notes: This was written for mcgarrygirl78's birthday, which is still technically a bit over 3 hours away, but we're impatient. I (Severity) wanted to write something for you, and I figured what better than to write your OTP. Of course, I wasn't sure I could do it, so I enlisted help... and as usual, we can't seem to write short. Anyway, we wound up having fun doing it (!), and we hope you enjoy it. Happy birthday, dear!

Notes: This fic is part of the What Happens In Vegas Universe. While it can be read as a stand-alone fic, it takes place after the other fics in the universe, and we feel that reading Why You Should Never Drink Too Much in Vegas and Things You Never Want to Hear After a One-Night-Stand in Vegas will add to your enjoyment of this fic.

Title: Inappropriate (But Unavoidable)
Authors: innerslytherin and severity_softly
Pairing: Hotch/JJ
Rating: PG
Word count: ~17,500
Summary: After breaking up with Will, JJ eventually can't hide her pregnancy from her boss. What she doesn't expect is for Hotch to step in as a surrogate father...and she certainly doesn't expect for her own feelings about Hotch to change as her pregnancy progresses.
Notes: Mild AU--JJ succeeded in breaking up with Will in "In Heat". We Feng Shui'ed canon where we needed to from there (part of Lo-fi, Will's role in fatherhood, etc.). ;) Thanks to nebula99 for fact-checking the whole pregnancy/motherhood thing, and for darkhawkhealer for additional info.

This is part of the "What Happens in Vegas" universe. The first fic in that universe, Why You Should Never Drink Too Much in Vegas, does NOT need to be read first, but will hopefully add to your enjoyment when read in company with this fic.

I have more to say today, guys, but I wanted this in its own post. The results of the 2008 cmfanficawards got posted last night while I was away, and I am thrilled with the results.

You all floor me. Seriously. And I'm not saying that to feign humility or anything. To be quite honest, I expected at least one or two wins on fic I'd co-written with innerlsytherin. But I won NINE awards (three individually and six with innerslytherin). Honestly, those of you who voted for me, thank you guys so much! It's overwhelming. I feel like Sally Field: You like me; you really like me! ^_~ (Are there many of you old enough on my flist to even get that? LOL)

There were a bunch of ties in the results, and I/we share a lot of these honors with other wonderful authors. I've noted them where the recognition was due!

( My CM Fanfic Awards wins! )

Now my only question is, should I post my recs? LOL I think most of them won awards. Should I just post them all and say 'fuck it'? Or should I only post recs for the non-wins (if any) and the ones that didn't win first place in their categories?

Title: Wanting Reid

Word count: ~10,500
Spoilers: Set between The Instincts and Memoriam, with some dialogue/situations lifted from the first scene of Memoriam, but no real spoilers otherwise.
Notes: This is in the same universe as a fic we haven't posted yet, a Hotch/JJ fic that we're working on re-writing. All you really need to know about that fic is that JJ and Hotch like each other and won't admit it at the point where this fic and that one cross paths. This is self-betaed, so feel free to point out any remaining errors.

Word count: ~5,000 for this part nine, ~7,300 for part ten, ~78,000 overall
