I don't ship those two at all, it's not just that I ship Hotch/Reid, or that I really like their rapport as friends - it is rare that a man and woman can be such friend, with so deep an understanding, without it being sexual...
...but out of all of them, power-wise, Hotch and Prentiss is the last problematic. He's The Boss, officially and in how he interacts with the team...but she's the mystery spy lady with her own distinct past - he did not shape her world in any way.
Hotch and Reid on the other hand, it really would be problematic, especially in the beginning, and even now, but dang, I do like the chemistry. IRL, people are mess up. Or they are in set ups that are kinda screwy but they pick it, and some seem okay with it. (The yee old student who marry their university professor scenario, it's kinda weird but it's not remotely unknown.)
