As this is one of my favorite stories...I have to leave a review. I thought this was written beautifully, and it was extremely heart-wrenching and happy at the same time, the way it ended. You should make a little one-shot sequel where Dallas has his vocal chords replaced. I think that would be really sweet. But that's just a suggestion.

Overall, you've made it into my hall of fame stories. And I've read thousands of stories. You've probably made top three. I loved it.

This was a very well thought out and original plot. I really enjoyed the storyline. That being said, there were a few things that made this not one of my favorites. I love Reid centric stories, which is why I read this, but I don’t care for stories with an immature, childlike Reid. I understand a stunted emotional development, but he was 24 years old, and emotionally acted like he was 5. All the sniveling and especially the snuggling, and Hotch coddling Reid and playing with his hair was a bit weird and disconcerting. A bit of affection, pats, hugs or ruffled air, can go a long way but this was over the top. Also, it was tiresome hearing Reid called Genius for SO long instead of easing into his name sooner. The Maeve reference didn’t fit. The emotionally immature Genius could not be able to navigate a “love” relationship such as this. The overall plot was so good that I pushed through to the end, but a bit of editing down would have made it more enjoyable. Your writing does display talent, and you have a gift for thinking out a story line. Thanks for sharing your story.

This was such a freaking amazing and unique story. I loved every second of it! The way you spun around Spencer and his life and the way geniuses might be handled if things were just a little bit different in our world was incredible!

This is an amazing story, you could make a full book about this. You could rename the characters and write a book, and I would bet it would sell very fast. Great job!

You have seriously made my day! I just love Criminal Minds...it is my #1 favorite crime show. Do you want to know my 2nd? NUMB3RS. I cannot believe that you brought in Charlie! That is awesome! You made my day so completely bright . I just loved that you brought in him. I am actually writing this right now before I finish this chapter (12). So I hope you don't kill him off or anything. Thank you for the smile! And please continue writing! I just love your work so far! Jane

Very Interesting and enjoyable.

This was a GREAT story. I can't see your novel as anything less thant worth reading. Thank you for the great work.

This was a great chapter!

And if your bad couple of weeks hasn't ended, I hope they get better!

I love this story so much. You gave us such a sweet wonderful Reid with the Hotch I love so much. and this simple happy ending!

Dallas is so sweet I'd love to adopt him.

This story is so well done, with a complex and interesting plot and lovable characters. I'm really loving it.

Excuse me while I cry my eyes out for this kid. (No pun intended)

PENELOPE! So happy that she's finally coming into the story, I was wondering where she was.

This story, at the risk of repeating yself, is such a perfect mix of knwn characters, new ones, emotional and technological events... Wow!

Ooohhh! So excited to see a new chapter! And it certainly didn't disappoint! I absolutely love the scenes with Hotch and Spencer, and how fatherly he is towards him. That scene in the shower was very touching. Poor Spencer though. How terrifying it would be to think that you might have to go back to living that kind of nightmare again. How he survived it the first time is amazing. I love that you show him so child like (having never really progressed past that scared little boy that was taken from his mom and essentially put in a cage). I'll be interested to see what happens with Lolli and the others they've found. Scary scary stuff. Really looking forward to the next chapter!
