If Gideon/Reid is your fix, I suppose there isn't!

I'm really glad you liked the fic; as with most of the prompts I've grabbed/written, this one didn't quite seem exactly along the lines of "Gideon and Reid coming out to the team." I do think that the team would be supportive, particularly in a highly stressful situation such as this one.

Hotch, at least in this story (and to a large extent OI&E), I see as taking a very protective, mentoring position in a sense. I actually got tripped up when Reid went "Don't." and had to struggle to continue the story, because of Hotch's instincts to try and protect and insulate Reid from this kind of hurt.

I think my favorite line out of the whole story was this:

Reid was going to be seeing his hands covered in Gideon's blood for a very long time.

Thanks again, and glad you liked.
