This is the first one of your series that I've read (so far). I really like how you write him. You don't focus on torturing him or making him do ridiculous out of character things that he would never do, and I appreciate that so much. I feel like 95% of CM fanfic is like that and that's why I don't read it... but you write him realistically. And I love the way you write his relationship with JJ and the other female characters. :)

Wow! Thank you so much! So glad that you gave this a chance. I really enjoy writing his character. My biggest pet-peeve in fic is when something is unrealistic, so I try to do the best I can at writing things that feel authentic to the character. I love his relationship with JJ - he actually has an interesting relationship with everyone, and that makes him fun to explore.

This was absolutely lovely. As you probably know already, Reid is my favorite character on the show and I love how you did him justice here. You picked out all these intricacies of his character and elaborated on them really well. I liked it a lot. I also really liked how you involved J.J. here and how she knew about his headaches. This was great :)

Saved Rossi for last did ya ;)

Yay! Thank you so much! I didn't really gather that, but I am not surprised. Reid is a lot of people's favorite :) I like him a lot, too. Glad it read believably for you. And JJ knowing about Reid's headaches is actually a continuation of a little story-strand I started to weave in previous fics Coming Home and Psychosomatic.

And you bet! :) His POV wraps up everything so nicely. <3

I'm really enjoying your series and I like that while you focus on some of the major points you also pick up some of the small moments between the team.
