Hi, I'm looking for any Rossi/Reid D/s relationship stories. I prefer TopRossi. Any help is appreciated!

Ok, so i'm new at this, so i'm not sure if this is ok.

1) The main type fic i'm looking for is any fic showing reid suffering from PTSD. maybe from after revlations or Amplification ect.
2) I'm looking for this fic, i kinda forgot the name of the writer and of the story so i'm really sorry about that. It's basically where the team find out reid's a model, and MGG is his alias. Then the story moves on and strauss says that reid has gotten offers from other people. I think NASA was one and maybe NCIS. anyway. Reid lies to the team and when they ask what's up he says that strauss wanted to know when he was doing more photo's and that....Last time i checcked it was incomplete. and stupid me lost all my online bookmarks so i've lost all the stories the author had written. There was one at a magic show, and one where loads of kids from when reid was little where being killed. But i don't really remember.
3) finally, is there any story with Reid actually being good at sports. or maybe on the Wii Fit or something.


Thanks,
Mel

Birthdays
A happy birthday to madlori! ♥

I’ve watched this one twice now in an effort to work out what I think of it, and maybe it’s partly this head cold, but what I mostly think is ( dull, dull, dull. )

For some reason I have this really intense desire to go to Disney World today. Like, ohhh, I want to go so badly. I want to get giddy at the sight of Mickey and watch the parade and hear the music and walk down Main Street, USA and eat ice cream in the sun.

I think it's the sunshine. We get so little of it in England that I don't even associate with this country. When it's warm and sunny and I'm roaming around in flipflops, it just makes me think of Florida.

I miss Florida. I miss mystic829. I miss my aunt and uncle's house, and chilling by the pool, and the sheer glorious relaxation of holiday. I'm planning to go back next April for my 30th 29th+1th birthday, but oh, April is so far away!

Nicholas & Alexandra - Robert K. Massie
Non-Fiction
Pages: 616

This is one of those books that I have been meaning to read for what feels like forever, and now I finally have I wish I'd read it earlier. Massie is one of those authors who makes history not feel like history - he really brings it to life and makes it feel real and immediate. Reading this book, I really felt like I was reading about people, real flesh and blood people with thoughts and feelings and dreams. Too often history reduces people to 'historical figures', cyphers for the great events surrounding them.

And I liked these people, especially Nicholas. He definitely seems like one of those figures from history for whom inheriting a crown was possibly the worst thing for him. He reminds me of King Stephen in a lot of ways - he lost so much when he won the crown. Nicholas comes across as such a good kind man - a loving husband, a wonderful father, a man who truly and deeply loved hisw country and wanted the best for her. But he was not a good Tsar, he was not a good leader. I found myself reading this book with increasing dread, knowing what was coming and wanting it to be different, for his sake.

What I found most fascinating about this book is how history can come down to the smallest of things. 'For the want of a nail', and all that. That one small boy's suffering and misfortune could shape the fate of the world... With Alexis' haemophilia there would have been no Rasputin; without his influence Alexandra would not have interfered in government so much; there would have been more stability, and the hatred that deflected from her to the rest of the family wouldn't have been so vicious and corrosive; had Nicholas not felt he needed to fight for his son's inheritance because his son was too weak to do it himself, Russia might have drifted naturally from autocracy to the kind of constitutional monarchy that England had. Had the monarchy not fallen there would have been no Revolution, no Bolsheviks, no Lenin and Stalin, no Soviet Union - and who knows what the world would have been then?
