Everytime I Think About Hotch's Dynamic With Garcia I Lose My Mind. Familial, Platonic, Romantic, However

everytime i think about hotch's dynamic with garcia i lose my mind. familial, platonic, romantic, however you view it (although the last of those is very underrated) it's so different and i think it's the best evidence of who hotch is internally, and that most of what he shows in the rest of the show is a mask.

hotch is far gentler with penelope than he is with the rest of the team, partially because she's the furthest removed from the rest of the team and he has the ability to treat her more gently, but also because he can relax around her. i don't even think hotch actively tries to treat garcia so gently, i think he just lets his guard down around her and the rest comes naturally. and also she's his favourite. i will accept no argument /hj

And I panic because I know what’s waiting out there for her.

the Genuine confusion in reid's voice is going to kill me. he's not asking this because he's angry, or upset. he legitimately doesn't understand. which, i mean. pot meet kettle. but god.
