I am aching...just aching. And I'm gooey. I am one big gooey ache. This is rapturously wonderful.

I loved this:

You are beautiful," he says, wishing he knew how to say it better. "So fucking beautiful."

and so many other lines. You have his voice so completely perfect and I love how he loves her but just won't say it, even to himself.

Brilliant.

Thank you for sharing.

This is amazing - you really drew me into the whole scene of the team chasing the unsub; it was at least as suspenseful as watching an equivalent scene on the show. I'm envious how well you managed to get into Rossi's head and describe the whole scene through his eyes.

And like the show, you manage to be funny right in the middle of the suspense: the moment when Rossi went through why no other team member could play the male bait was perfect, and I had to giggle at the description of Reid ("and it's not because he's ninety pounds dripping wet"). Reid threatening women? Not in this life.

Great characterisation all round, and of course Rossi rather fracturing his hand than hitting Prentiss is too cute for words. And very IC for him.

I'm definitely off to look for more stuff you wrote.
