Spencer swallowed. “I did what I had to.”

Lovely part one. I loved the first dinner scenes- the conversations about Gideon and his craptastic advice, Reid's sense of failure regarding Elle, Hotch's attempts to deal with Foyet- all rang perfectly in-character and addressed lingering issues within cannon.

Part one makes me really excited for parts two and three! Thanks so much for posting this whole btw :)

[daylyn]

Thank you. There are definitely issues that still linger in the canon, and I wanted to at least note them. This is still a fairly new fandom for me (and my first story in it of any real length -- which was not the plan when I started writing this). I'm really happy that you thought any of it was in-character. Woot!

I thought about posting it in parts, but I prefer to read long stories all at once, so I decided to post it whole. I have learned not to post WIP's, since it takes me forever to finish fics. (I still owe the final part in a Sherlock Holmes fic that I started over a year ago -- that has to be the next thing I write).

I'm really glad you liked this.

[daylyn]

Thank you so much! I hope you liked the rest.

[daylyn]

Thank you! Glad you liked the first bit and hope you like the rest. There are actually two more stories in this 'universe' too (at the moment, and plans for more... someday) that take place after this story concludes. I'm thrilled you liked the characterization; that makes me very happy indeed.

You make it feel as if this is the way it is supposed to be.

Traumatic and yet positive.

[daylyn]

Thank you! I think that there is, ultimately, positive out of trauma. Although sometimes it's hard to get to that point.

Lovely, sad and romantic. They are so wonderful together. Hotch who hides his emotions and Reid who is beautifully emotional.
