Summary
For approximately one second, Root had a very clear view of the carpet rushing toward her face. And then she didn't, because something stopped her.
Her face ended up against something solid and warm, and when she finally got her bearings enough to lift her head, she found herself looking up at a face she'd never seen before.
A very good face, as it happened.
or
Root is an Actor, and when she trips on her own dress at the Golden Globes and nearly breaks her face in front of essentially every Papperazzi in LA, Sameen Shaw, a Security Guard from a private firm that was hired to work the event, catches her. Let's just say the Sapphic internet goes a little insane.

Summary
“I will heal your father, in exchange for your firstborn.”
For a second, the words don’t sink in.
“What?”
“It is obviously not a common payment anymore, although it has been, in ancient times, for magical beings of my kind. Nowadays, with the new range of possibilities available, this has ceased to be a widespread mean of magical debt settlement. But, of course, an exception can be made.”
Sara is still staring at her, mouth agape, unsure about how to respond. She doesn’t fully believe they’re understanding each other, because what Sara is gathering from this conversation is that the witch is demanding a child – an actual human newborn – as payment for a spell.
Magic isn’t even real.//
Or, a story inspired by the prompt: "Years ago, you promised your firstborn to a witch. Since then, despite your best efforts, you can’t seem to get laid. The witch is starting to get pretty pissed." by writing prompts on tumblr

Summary
Instead of joining the BAU after Doyle, Emily takes another undercover case with Interpol. This time, she's going undercover as herself. She's married Gabor Farkas, the American ambassador to Hungary (and a sex trafficker), in order to get information and track down the rest of the ring. Unfortunately, she's been with him for two years and hasn't found anything. Instead, she's bored, frustrated, and lonely, tired of being a trophy wife to someone who is never around. So, she hires an escort that can keep her company and give her as much sex as she wants. That escort? JJ. The thing is... Emily doesn't know that JJ is undercover, too.

Summary
JJ finally makes it to her seat and leans her head back to catch her breath. Her mind wanders to the stunning woman that had given her the greatest weekend of her life and the way her dark hair so elegantly fanned out across the stark white of the hotel room pillow. She feels a pang of regret for leaving without saying "goodbye", but knows it was for the best. When the plane takes off to take her back to DC, she finally lets it hit her that she may never see her again. JJ jams the heels of her hands into her eyes to stop the tears that are so desperate to fall. Worried that she may be making a scene to the people sitting next to her, JJ takes a deep breath and drags her hands down her face and feels something hard rub against her cheek. JJ's eyes go wide as they fall on a delicate gold band sitting comfortable on the third finger of her left hand.

Summary
In the post Samaritan world, the remaining Machine assets are trudging through the motions, trying to piece their lives back together. But things are rarely as they seem, and soon Shaw realises that the one she thought forever lost might actually need her more than ever before.
Or, "yet another take on where the story could go from there", featuring Root not being dead, Fusco nicknaming anything that breathes, Shaw being Shaw, a few villains new and old, fluff and of course a bunch of gunfights.

These are the things she carries with her. A laptop. A neatly folded pair of black gloves. A tattered copy of an old children's book, stolen from a yard sale. Risk. Vulnerability. A code she created for herself. And lots of memory.

Summary
“Enthusiastic. Hmm.” Well, except for Shaw, she adds in her head. Shaw had barely even looked at her. But, she realises with an inner sigh, she’s not exactly dressed to impress, if she’d known she was gonna run into someone so fascinating she’d have made an effort, but coding isn’t something she usually dresses up for. Harold starts walking with a pronounced hitch in his step toward the sports building, and Root hastens after him. “Well, one beer couldn’t hurt, could it?”
Or, the one where Root meets a bunch of soccer players (and Harold, the team mom) and Zoe is team Shoot's number one fan girl. Also, Martine is the worst. More warnings by chapter.

Summary
Greer fits Shaw for a neural transmitter and her world turns to crap. Used as Samaritan's guinea pig, Shaw's brain's chemistry is forcibly altered and she's left to face the world without any of her usual defenses. Under such circumstances, even rescue doesn't bring the happy ending she'd want. Shaw is forced to find her way, rebuild with the Team, rebuild with Root, and find a new way to a good end.
