Oooooh! So far this fic is so good! Everyone is so very in character, and I love the mystery you've set up for us! Is Gideon a drug induced hallucination? Is he there just by coincidence,or did he go all crazy and turn into a mastermind killer? Any one of those scenarios is very satisfying to me.
I don't read too much CM fic because it just never quite fits with the show and its characters for me, but this is so far perfect!
Thank you. I can't ask for a better compliment than the characters being in character. Hope it continues to ring true. And I'm glad you're open to all possible ambiguously structured plots involving Gideon. We'll get along famously. :)
I haven't read much CM fic myself. None, actually, until last week. And none since. It was educational. I had no idea Reid could cry so much.
A haunting chapter. And again, what I love about your writing is the way you perfectly nail the characters through their actions and thoughts. Little phrases that capture their entire nature: Suddenly, he wants to call Jack. He wants to hear his son’s voice and know he’s okay. The desire is as sharp as it is illogical. The copper tang of rust sits deep in the back of Morgan’s throat. “Oh, no,” Garcia says quietly. “Derek, I hate that tone of voice. It always means something bad. I am having a good day today, I do not want to hear anything bad.” You get them right, each one of them, every single time.
And again, it's the quiet, lovely details that make this story ring so true: The fluorescent lights pale the color of her hair as she turns around.
The ending is absolutely perfect, because we know how undoing the news will be for Garcia, and how hard it is for Morgan to tell her because he knows it, too. "How bad?" "It's Reid." That brief exchange captures so much about the dynamic of the team. Just wonderful.
