Of course, that struck me as big sisterly, not romantic. But, YSMV (your 'ship may vary)
When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
And I can't see Prentiss and Reid because all I see is Prentiss and Hotch. Not that I'm a fanatical 'shipper, but there are subtle signs in the show. I'll read just about any pairing and as long as the author justifies the relationship on a sliver of canon I'm good. Characterization is more important than pairing to me.
Vortex, I don't think you're reading too much into it. Bernero himself has said that M/G would be together if they weren't so broken as individuals. Other than Hotch and Haley I think that's as close to canon as a relationship is going to get on CM.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You crazy shippers!

“Not dead yet!”
And that's the thing, too-- I could easily see that comment as sisterly, as well and I can easily see Hotch/Prentiss. Also an interesting dynamic.

I also have some thought on subtle signs, but they'll have to wait 'til I'm home, since I'm a shitty thumb typist.

Heh. Really I'm not. I don't want to see the team dynamic change on the show. Fic is a way to satisfy the urges but that doesn't mean said urges should be anything more than wishful thinking. This is no Buffy/Angel, Buffy/Spike or Angel/Cordy canon smackdown.

“Not dead yet!”
Back, for at least a few moments, at my computer. Anyhow my Reid/Prentiss lurve started because I think one of the first eps I saw was "Minimal Loss" and how they interacted with each other there imprinted so hard on me. Then going back to the beginning and seeing the evolution of their particular relationship was pretty interesting to me—intellectually matching up, the fact that she was the first to confront him with the knowledge that she knew something was wrong, that she compelled him to reread Gideon's letter... little things like that.
And I don't know-- it just really seems that they have more than their fair share of the exchanged glances-- they simply seem to get each other. Of course, squint and you can see the same with all of them.

Speaking of squinting...and squints...was Bones wearing a Dharma jumpsuit in the first scene of the episode?

CM: I hated that JJ had to leave but I loved the "Big strong men" comment, a not very subtle "fuck you" from the writers.

From a bit upthread:
then Spencer blocked his way, I loved the exchange of glances between little dude looking at Spence like "Seriously?" and Spencer coming back with as much of an outright "Bring it, bitch," look as I've ever seen from him and the beauty was how completely subtle it was.
I was rewatching "Children in the Dark" earlier, from early S3, with the unsub team of foster brothers killing entire families. When they find out that the foster mother had been abusing them, Hotch and Reid go to her house because they think the unsub will try and kill her. She's standing on the porch, protesting her ignorance over the accusation of abuse, and Hotch gives her his AHGOD (Aaron Hotchner Glare of Doom), and Reid backs him up with the same look of "don't even think about it" that he gave the unsub this week.
