Great story, I enjoyed it.

Whoa, this is wonderful! I love these character-driven pieces more than anything, and you really got Em's relationship with everyone down pat. Not to mention, gotta love my Hotchniss. This is so, so well done!

Wow loved how you wrote she's kept up with everyone and love how you wrote their relationship came about

Good Job

I have missed yr stories ;););)

Ya know, that Bobby is a doll! Puttin this all together in a nice neat lil place for me.. I think i'll treat him with cupcakes tomorrow ;P ..

*cough*

SQUEE!... Ohmygods!.. I've bin waiting to get home and read this allll freakin day/night!.. and I wasn't disappointed!.. (like I ever am with Kavi fic!) .. All the conversations are so spot on for each of them it's awesome!.. even though technically her and Hotch don't have one, it's still spot on!.. There's so many lil moments in this that just stood out, (to many to go into in review!) certain parts I could see as if I was watching an episode!.. Woman!.. You rock!..

What an extremely cool story:) I loved it! Thanks for sharing!

It's really, really good! I loved it!

Loved it, a wonderful reflection on her relationships with the team and best of all Hotch.

Great.

This was great! Nice job! :)

Ooh, this was good. I love the way each conversation is so true to the characters. I love the idea of Garcia being the one to bring the happy news to Emily to make her laugh, and Morgan and Emily swapping dating advice to each other (LOL at the bowties and platform heels lines).

The ones with Rossi and Reid were touching, considering how close she was to both of them. I love the idea of Rossi telling her stories about his failed relationships to help her feel better when she's had a bad date, and the idea of her listening to him tell stories and him being able to pull things from her she wouldn't tell anyone else is sweet. And Reid-I love that she's there for him through the rough times in his life. She was always so good at comforting him and pointing him in the right direction. The comparison of how he interacts with Blake versus how he interacts with her is cute and made me smile.

JJ and Emily's long close friendship shone through in their conversation, and I like how JJ was quick to catch on that something was different with Emily. And I liked the Blake one as well, the way you weaved their histories together and their shared feelings on Strauss was inspired and intriguing-I actually want to read a story about Alex's knowledge of the Doyle thing and whatnot now-and I love the idea of Emily getting a new viewpoint on her old friends through Blake, and that Emily feels good knowing Blake's there to look out for them, Reid especially. A nice passing of the torch, so to speak.

And of course, finally, the ending with Hotch was great, too. How they wound up in the situation they did-totally believable, and how quickly it progressed into what it is now. I can definitely see them being the sort to not really agonize over their relationship, to just let it go where it needs to go and leave it at that. Also, I liked the "Easter - the person this time, not the holiday" line :D.

Nice story! Perfect overview of the team dynamics/relationships.

That was brilliant I loved it. It's sweet how Emily remains in contact with the team in different ways and on different levels and the end bit with Hotch is great in that they don't really need to define it because they themselves know ultimately what it is
