Wow, Spencer, you got stones, man. *shakes head with respect*

This was disturbing (and that's good! go you!) and I am still being seized by the lingering urge to kick Hotch's ass. Good writing.

[travelinthedark]

oddly, i'm glad that it was disturbing. i suppose it was meant to be. emotion is a bitch like that...

thank you :)

I'm torn between totally understanding Hotch's actions and the instinctive urge to yell, "Son of a bitch, don't you fuck with my boy!" Which means whatever it is, it's a success in my book.

[travelinthedark]

i'm still torn, and i wrote that shit. i'm glad you liked it, though... it was fucked up, but it was maybe a little real.

[even_dusk_fades]

Awww! Don't be torn. You fixed it in the end. Yeah, it was real. That's what made it hurty.

It was a great story, to see how Reid would grow into himself and confidence and understanding... also, how Hotch would be so vulnerable if he felt he had something to lose, plus the fact that Reid called him an asshole... <3 Love. Can't wait for your proper proposition/wedding fic. XD Great prelude, maybe when they're out of the rough-patch we'll get a continuation and YOU'LL get that feather in your cap of 'ring/marriage fic' that's daunting you. <3

[travelinthedark]

hah! my marriage!fic is 3x is as long, filled with ridiculous humor, and not nearly finished. and is eating my soul! so there's that.

but i'm happy you enjoyed (or were slighlty traumatized) by this in the mean time. don't worry, the marriage!fic is forthcoming.

beautiful. Loved the switch from breakup/relationship - it kinda put me in the middle of the conflicting emotions.

[travelinthedark]

thank you <3

Ooohh... I loved this. The style, where it jumps timeframes, was overwealming. It was beautiful.

[travelinthedark]

thank you. i'm glad it wasn't too much :)

[fai_dust]
