I guess it should come as no surprise that I agree with your assessments (and criticisms) of the ways that these characters are sometimes handled. They're ADULT MEN, for god's sake, who hunt serial killers! They have hidden depths, indeed, but they are not emotionally delicate. And both Hotch and Reid have struggled to cope with being victims -- but human struggles, with human realizations and sometimes far-too human consequences.
I can't tell you how thrilled I am that you thought I had realistic representtions of their pain, their gender, and their relationship interactions. Yes, Spencer is not a teenage girl; he's an adult, experienced (albeit sometimes awkward) man. And so, damnit, is Hotch!
Um... I think I've gone on a rant agreeing with the points you made in your comment. Oops...
Again, thank you! I really appreciate the time you took to leave such detailed feedback and to let me know that what I did worked for you. I'm thoroughly excited right now.
