I had it pegged as Dana from the start, mostly due o your skill in writing this story, you had the noir, tense, gritty Criminal Minds feeling going there pretty well and it just seemed to meld together well.

I thought you wrote it well and I got that Dana was the unsub when you mentioned her name. I wonder what slant the BAU will put on her actions and motivations since they don't really know what she has been experiencing in her mind. I'm kinda hoping that they don't find her before Andrew turns up. I don't imagine Andrewq would be keen to confront a bunch of criminal profilers!

I know I've already told you this, but you really hit it out of the park with this one. I think you captured Gideon's voice perfectly, and the end bit where he tears out Dana's page hit just the right note. Count me in with the people who say that they want more. :)

Thank you so much, kerry! I'm so glad you think I got Gideon right, especially the last part. He takes that book very seriously (understandably!).
As for more... well, you know me, my one shots have a tendency to stay anything but... :P
Thanks again, kerry! :D

I think you did a pretty good job for this story. And it seemed to me like you captured Criminal Minds well enough for the purposes needed. Props on a story well done, yo!

The journey between what you once were and what you will become is a death unto itself, as we are all invariably a different person at the end of the road, the death of the old Self and the evolution of our mind toward the sunset of our years.

That's mine. Like it?

Damn, akat. I don't usually go in for this type of fic, even though I watch the show occasionally. I only read it because I read everything that you write, and I am always rewarded for doing so. Though this time my experience in reading this was no different in that aspect, I must say: I am impressed. This is quite possibly the best thing I've ever read of yours. I find myself not only wanting to read more, but actually holding myself back from being angry with you that you haven't posted more. . . Lol, I know, I know. I'm still working on my virtues. Anyway, just wanted to let you that I loved this first chapter, and I look forward to reading more.

Aw, thanks, deiticlast! I appreciate it! And I hope you won't be too angry with me, especially since I'm considering writing more for this. :)

Wow, this was really good! I loved your Gideon POV, it (he) was spot on and the twist with Dana was just BRILLIANT! Is there any chance of more in the future? I would love to read more of this, especially with the CM team finally finding Dana with the New Watchers Council... Well that's if the Council actually finds her before the team do in your verse...
Anyway, great job on this! Thanks for writing!!

Thank you!!! I'm so glad you liked it. I was very nervous trying to write Gideon. Glad you liked the part about Dana, too! As I was thinking about her character history, I realized that her case sounded just like one the BAU would take.
As for whether or not there will be more... well, chances are looking pretty good that there will be, seeing as this plot bunny just won't leave me alone. It doesn't hurt to know that someone would like to see it, either!
Thank you for taking the time to read and review! :)
