This was great. I love how accurate the time line is too.

Ooof!

Amazing! Perfect characterization!

This is amazing! Best criminal minds fanfic ever!

This was extremely well written. It's hard to find angsty Reid fics that keep him relatively in character, but you managed to! Your writing is great, I'm so glad I ran into this! :)

I can relate to spencer which helps me cope so thanks

Wow, very powerful. Very sad too, but oh so possible. I'm glad you chose Hotch to be the one, rather than someone like Morgan. I love Morgan, but I love Hotch more and like the possibilities of the friendship between hima nd Reid, or even more.

Yoooo this was so good and you are such a talented writer. I felt moved by the words you wrote down and the way you put all together is truly, beautiful’

it is so sad but AMAZING i loved it i cried so much best fic i've read in forever thank you

...such angst but yet such beauty. Great work~

Hey...i love this story...thx 4 giving me a different perspective on our favorite genius...i love reid...who doesnt?

This was perfect. I love how descriptive it was, but not too wordy. Yes, Spencer would need a lot of hugs after his ordeal, and the fact that it was Hotch that gave it made it even better. I feel as if Hotch would be one of the best secret-keepers in the world.

This was very sad for Reid ... he needs all those hugs!

i loved it omg

This is well done, and could have been most of an entire episode with maybe a B-plot. Fairly plausible even with what is established. Thanks for sharing.

So I know you said not to read if it would be triggering, but I did anyway. I really enjoyed this fic, even though it did trigger for me.
