How come I like these so much compiled? It's super fun. And? It's unhealthy how much I like your Elle. And she does not trust the hand she holds remains the best line ever! Oh man, you captured her voice just right, I think.

Yay! I like them a lot better, together, too! It's kind of unhealthy how much I ended up enjoying writing her! Oh, good. I'm glad you still like the line! Thanks so much!

When you have no one? And when you personally sabotage any potential relationships that come your way, because you don't want them getting too close...seeing all the ways you're flawed.

This little bit made me cry, *personal unrequired info* I have the scars and I have the flaws too.

wanna know the weird part? i felt like the whole team was there for her, First Hotch with the jacket, Morgan always checking on her, Reid giving her info.

I always felt like Gideon was a substitute father figure for her, maybe he should've done more...

The ultimate gesture that made me fell for Hotch was to her, him washing the blood on the wall.
I liked Elle like no other character, this is So well written I feel her pain
thanx for sharing

Wow, thank you so much. I really appreciate knowing this. It's interesting how characters can impact us, isn't it? By reflecting something we might recognize in ourselves back to us? I know JJ did that for me in Risky Business...

Aww, that's one of the saddest epis ever, and I'm sorry if you relate to JJ on that one.

Yeah, I love it, though, because in the end it's beautiful and heartfelt and there is such a lesson to be taken from it...and yet it's not so overt as to be annoying. Thanks again.

This is really sad...but also in a strangely morbid way empowering, because a weaker woman would have committed suicide by now or something but despite her feeling like she's completely alone, dying isn't an option for Elle, you don't even mention it and I admire that. I'm off to read the next chapter. Great Job :)

Honestly, I never thought of that as a way out for Elle. I guess that just speaks to the strength of her character. Thanks for reading and letting me know what you think about all of these. I really enjoy your comments!
