It's not a rough day until a serial killer tries to get you.

oooh! I like your Hotch/Beth story better.

I do like Beth, but, yeah, yours if evil and angsty and I like it!!

boy, you really thought about it but it's coming off as a little jealous of a fictional woman.

However, that statement could become a fanfic?

Frankly, I think it would be perfect if Hotch was dating a very veteran nurse. IRL cop/nurse pairings supposingly work out well because they both get the demanding schedules and emotional toll.

ETA: here we go: cop/nurse:

I've first seen Gibson in Dharma & Greg, and I think the writers are going for that, but it ain't going to work because that storyline played out already, pre-series, when Hotch first met Haley and fell instantly in love like kids, because they were then. Now Hotch is in his 40s with BAGGAGE and this just makes no sense.

I dislike the idea of JJ cheating on Will, I like Will, and he has so much abandonment issues...threesome maybe?
