when i saw this scene i wanted hotch to say “if this was your plan all along, i hope you also took into consideration who tells jareau’s son that you are the reason he will never get to see his mother again” or something like that...

I know it has been a while since this story was posted, but I just wanted to let you know how amazing I thought it was.. Well, both of them actually. I loved how you portrayed the characters. Everything was beautifully written. Such an amazing job! I have thoroughly enjoyed these stories.

I'm a recent addition to the CM fandom and I've been reading this story as I've been going through the series. The only bad thing I can say about this incredible story is that it ended (which I know it had to). You did an amazing job bringing these characters and their relationships to life, and especially for Spencer and JJ whom I love together. Incredible work. Thank you for it

Loved it

Aww that warmed my cold heart lol jk

After the season 12 finale, I hope that Garcia is alerted about Cat Adams being in contact with Lindsay Vaughn.

I wish that they'd included a call back to Spence's "evil twin and eviler twin" theory coming true since that's what I think of everytime I watch either of those two episodes. Reid deserved vindication.

Lol

Wow great great stories ! Would love another jj Reid long fic like this

Reading this at a time right when CM is about to end. And the nostalgia brought on by your words is just fierce. Thanks so much for this story, this alt universe. A space where you've more than fulfilled wishes and alt plots for certain episodes (seasons even!), especially for beloved CM characters. What tugged at me most was how well you brought ALL characters together. Kate, Elle, and Maeve for starters.

In your story (this and its prequel), I was able to enjoy just about all of the possibilities-the what-ifs-had Jj and Spencer been together from that turning point you established.

I have so much more to say about how I feel like this universe you've developed is so wonderful and just "timely" to read at this stage of the show. (Especially
since there aren't a lot of "jeid" fics to really hold on to.) But I can't seem to come up with enough words. And if you know what I do for a living, I don't usually run out of words. But you did something with Partners and Second Chances.

So for now, thank you. And I sincerely hope to read more JJ/Reid fics from you soon.

While the world of criminal minds fans going to war, i'm just sitting here re-reading this fanfiction...chillin. thank you for writing this. Whatever happens in season 15...this fic is my headcanon. #jeid #jencer.

hey, a brazilian reader here. I just want to say that I truly loved Second Chances and I'm really happy to find out the sequence. Especialy after the end of season 14. Jeid lives ️

One of my favourite recurring themes in this story is whenever a team member is in labour, Hotch jumps up with his tried and tested line of “I’ll get the car.”

Love your story. Pls do continue writing

Got to be one of my favorite chapters!
