I liked the dynamics between Hotch and Gideon, but it's so much healthier and not as one-sided with Hotch and Rossi.
Word, I was such a Gideon girl when I started out, but now that I rewatch those episodes, I find myself getting mad at Gideon rather often when he fails to properly respond to Hotch when Hotch is obviously in a sucky situation. In retrospect he comes off as a lot more tender and thoughtful in his interaction with Reid though that could be more in hindsight since Reid was also the one he left the letter for.
If nothing more, the different personalities of Hotch and Rossi lead to some really interesting scenes and interactions. (though I too didn't notice it till somebody else mentioned shipping them) And in a way I think it made me appreciate Hotch more because though it's wasn't like I didn't like it before, for me it was almost like I was given additional pieces of the Hotch puzzle I hadn't had before.
