There should be more to this story. I really loved it and would like to read how these women got Reid's trust back.

This was one of the more honest and less superficial stories I read about that episode.

I really loved that JJ and Emily came to him with that much sincerity.

Thanks a lot, even when one hasn't been wronged, it can help a lot reading this.

That was interesting. Yeah I thought it was too fast too. A bit ppresumptuous to go through other people's things but whatever. The reconciliation I resented though not between team members was the one with the priest who informed Morgan that God doesn't give us more than we can handle. How dare he presume to know what drove a young boy away from church. And he didn't even have the decency to apologize to Morgan. Why Morgan apologized to him especially after he all but told that jerk the hell he went through is beyond me. This worked pretty well.

I just recsently found this website and these stories, so I'm new to the whole fanfic. genre. I always thought that Prentiss, JJ, and Hotch got off way to easy for the lie they carried around for months.

"I'm sure Cheeto Breath here..."

Ha ha! Just great! I love Snarky!Reid and you did a great job conveying the voices here. I haven't see your stuff before because I just usually seek out M in the search parameters.

I also really liked your vision of Reid's apartment. I've my own thoughts on it but it's refreshing to see someone else's. This story is now a favorite.

AWWW! So good! :)

Wish it could have included some of Reid's thoughts though.

Great and quite fitting. I liked it. :)

Wonderful idea. Congrats and kudos!

brilliant story.

yep. poor Reid needs a bit more closure.

and to find a woman to discover how many shoes she may have.

Here's something I wish we could see on the show. I'm glad that JJ and Emily decided to go try to make things right with Reid.

Nice description of his apartement. Love the bare feet and the bookcases full of books.

Good for Reid calling them on their scrabble debacle. Emily's supposed to be hiding and yet she's playing games with JJ all the while it was supposed to be so important that no one knew where she was.

Anyway... thank you for addressing this as the show refuses to do so.

I also think TPTB glanced over the repercusions of Emily coming back. As much as I am an Emily/Spencer shipper, there hasn't been many, if any, conversations between Emily and Spencer. Sure he and JJ are now a team, but he and Emily are still far from being friends.

What ever happened to the reason Reid cried for ten weeks at JJ's house? I think he felt a lot more than friendship for Emily, but didn't tell anyone. Now, he can't.

Anyway, thanks for the one-shot. You never disappoint.

Thank you so much for this story. I feel exactly the same way about how the writers handled that whole scenario. Broken trust is never easy to regain. Thanks for giving our favorite characters the voices and emotions they should have had. Great story.

This was really good. I too, have felt disappointed by the way the writers just ghosted over Reid's feelings. You did well in bring them to light. I loved that he was barefooted.

Yes! I'm not alone in finding Reid un-Reid-like! Thank you for this!

beautifully written!
