Spencer grabbed his arm. “No. Now you listen to me. We have all, at some point, done something monstrous. All of us. The fact that you were pushed out of control by a psychotic sadist does not make you a monster. What do you expect from yourself, Hotch? You listened as that man killed the woman you loved and vowed to murder your four year old son. The same man who had attacked you and stabbed you nine times. The same man who had killed a bus-load of people and had the audacity to blame you for his actions. And you snapped. Do you think that there are any of us who wouldn’t have? You’re not Superman or Captain America or some other stupid fucking super hero. You’re human, Hotch. And as a human, you were pushed beyond your breaking point.”THIS. This times one million ( ... )

Yeah, Reid definitely has a strength of character (as shown so brilliantly in "Uncanny Valley" this season), and if Reid decides he going to do something, I don't think anyone is going to stop (even the man who just dumped him -- Reid's definitely been known to rebel against Hotch from time to time (okay, once, really in "Elephant's Memory", but still...)

And I'm really happy you liked Reid's interaction with Jack. Writing Jack made me very, very nervous.

This is so amazing. From the Chinese dinner (its nice that other people are obsessed with Spencer's hands. From sex to friends, you really made it come alive. I think one of the things that appeals to me about this fandom is the friendships and you've really picked up and run with that aspect.

Thank you so much! I love the friendships that the characters have; I think its one of the most important elements to the show and the fandom.

And Spencer has amazingly sexy hands.

So glad you liked this.

This is such a wonderful story. So sweet and sad. I love how strong Reid is and how he stands by Hotch as his friend no matter the romantic outcome.

“Actually,” Spencer said, “my mother is a schizophrenic and some of her culinary adventures were less than palatable. I’ve always found this one, however, to be enjoyable.”

That line is note-perfect Reid voice.

I've decided this series deserves a little spamming today :p The characterizations are so perfect... Hotch + Reid + a bedroom = my computer screen is practically fogged up. And the break up scene hurts so prettily, yet it's Spencer's determination to be a good friend even after that that is really, really moving. I love him so much for not taking 'no' as an answer about being there for Hotch through everything :)
