Criminal Minds Gen recs
When I first started out in the Criminal Minds fandom 2 years ago, I began a rec list for Gen fic. At that point, there weren't many people writing Gen, so it wasn't that hard to find things to go on the list.
2 years later, and I still don't exactly have a wide field to choose from. But I've just updated the list with some great stories that I've found recently, and now that I've got a delicious account, it's a heck of a lot easier to keep track of things.
The full list is here, and the latest additions are under the cut. As I say on the full list, if you come across Genfic that you think I might like, please do drop me a line. There's lots of great slash/het on rec lists already. I'd like to get a Gen list to match them.

Spoilers for L.D.S.K. Hotch deals with the aftermath of LDSK as well as what's to come in the future. I absolutely adore LDSK for reasons I can't put my finger on, and this fic spins such a good possible back-story for Hotch that I couldn't resist.
Meetings bybatgurl88
Spencer has a strange encounter. A fun little ficlet taking a throwaway comment in canon and following up on it. Not my usual kind of thing, but it made me smile. The characters are absolutely recognisable, and the premise works surprisingly well.
Family, True and False byfell_beast2
Morgan and Garcia help Reid deal with the aftermath of Memoriam. I was cautious about reading because the summary didn't sound like my kind of thing, but I liked the way it unfolded, how both Garcia and Morgan draw Reid out and the strong character-voices. I didn't like the episode very much, but I liked this fic.
Coming Home bynebula99
Sometimes home isn’t where you thought it was. This takes the incident mentioned in 'Elephant's Memory' and brings home the real nastiness of it. I'm a sucker for any stories about home, and I liked how Nebula made Reid so uncertain all the way through, the ambivalence feeling absolutely right.
Fireflies and Good Intentions bylady_of_scarlet
A snippet of Reid's childhood. A cabin in the woods and a collection of nineteenth century literature. Sad and heartfelt. It's easy to overdose on stories about Reid's childhood, but what I liked about this was the lack of mawkishness. Diana's mental illness feels vivid and real, and Spencer's reactions feel just right for his age and attitude.
