Thank you! Yeah, I can totally see Hotch (you know, if he was real) blaming himself over and over for Haley's death. Just because we're not seeing him suffer on the show (and really, epic fail there writers), doesn't mean it's not happening.

I don't know when I realized that Jack must have heard the shot, but I'm convinced that he did. He may not really have know what it was at that moment, but I feel that he figured it out at some point. And that is so terribly tragic that it does make you want to cry.

Oh, and I have such a kink for assertive!Reid I can't even tell you. When you combine assertive!Reid with forlorn!Hotch... *swoons in delight*
