This is an absolutely powerful story and I thank you for writing it.

Amazing. Just so...ahhhh! Don't even know what to say right now, love this so so much. The shock was amazingly well written, I had chills. I loved the little asides that you have throughout the story, "(the world was shaking, after all,)" The shock was chilling but the descriptions after he wakes up and Rossi was almost more chilling.

I love all of them in this. Hotch is great, strong and protective, Rossi was the mediator and Morgan was just the perfect 'victim refusing to be a victim actually needing hep.' The fact that Morgan thought that, since he could read Hotch, the world must have been ending was so great, such a true characterization on both ends. And then the conversations they had with him, as short as they were, were great. They didn't say much but they said enough; kind of reminds me of Sam and Ed, all four of them are the strong, stoic, don't show your pain types and I think both Morgan and Sam admire their bosses a lot. You nailed it!

And by the way, I was going to write another chapter of my story but I was a little stuck so I said to myself 'take ten minutes and read some other things and maybe something will come to me.' Two hours later, after reading this one twice, it's 1 AM and I'm practically asleep so...I broke my chapter a day trend to read this one, thanks! Really though, thanks so much for this!

It's not fair to be killing my corn muffin and butter high like this.

I mean, DAMN! Can you make me wanna hug Derek any more than you have. I think not. Between this and Gravestones Carved in Blood, I'm ready to call somebody to come hug me.

Your characterization is excellent. We get what we see Morgan as on the outside [what's on the show] and what we can imagine that he's like inside.

This is so visceral. It hurts. I mean, it honestly hurts. I'm gonna have to go back and read more carefully because honestly I skipped some bits because if I hadn't I was gonna cry and there isn't any real good way to explain that I'm crying because of a fic, to my mother.

I was waiting for the happy ending, with love and family and what did you do? You went and made my eye start twitching because now I'm like, WTF! Derek NOOOO! I'm like, oh great, there may be an episode in the future that may have something that hits him hard and you're gonna write a fic where he goes through with it or I'm gonna watch an episode like that and I'm gonna be like, PUT THE GUN DOWN DEREK! See how paranoid you've made me?

I love the interactions with Hotch and Rossi because you got them so well and [to quote a friend of mine] it makes me wanna punch you in the throat. and I'm not usually that violent. I love that you made Morgan and Hotch parallels because they honestly are. They're two sides of the same coin. It's actually kind of scary. and when Rossi was doing the interview... God, I wanted to just hug Rossi and hold Derek in blanket for the rest of my life. I couldn't read through all of it because I was just falling into this state. You are no longer allowed to do this to me.

You see how I ramble and go back and forth between things? I am so much more coherent than this. You broke my brain and that is not fair. I demand you fix it or direct to me to some fluff because now I need it.

If you do need some clarity though, I did enjoy it, anger exclamations aside. *sniff*

Very dark and well-written, although I could never see Derek Morgan as a suicidal person. His character seems psychologically stronger than that. Dee

This is one of the most intense fan fic I ever read. Its heartbreaking , scary, sad, hopeless but still beautiful. You know and understand who Derek is . You look underneath his strength and uncover the hidden side of Derek Morgan , his vulnerability and brokenness.

I liked that you only choose Hotch and Rossi as Morgans supporters . They are the older members of the team. Hotch knows Morgan the longest and Rossi promised him to be there for him if ever needed (Lo-Fi). And if the other characters also had been more involved it would have taken away from the original story , which was about Morgan.

There are millions of Morgan/Reid and Morgan/Garcia and lots of Morgan/Prentiss fan fic out there and in most of them Morgan is the strong character ,the supporter and Im glad you choose to write about Morgan as the victim.

Thanks for writing this wonderful story. And please write more Morgan. You are a great writer. Im a fan .

Good god I don't even have the words for how hard my heart is aching right now...I just...Poor Morgan!

THIS WAS BEAUTIFUL. You paint such a real picture of Morgan without going overkill, and I liked that you made Rossi the pacifier between the two. Even though it's not a role we're used to, you integrate that aspect into his personality very well.

There is not enough fic about Morgan. The show hardly focuses on him, and the well-written fics about Morgan are usually those with him and Garcia or him and Reid or him and...You get the picture. Here you focus on him alone, and it was so refreshing to see that.

I know some people criticized you for your lack of involving the other characters from the team, but I think that this was a wise choice. It makes sense for Rossi and Hotch to be very involved because they are the authority figures of the team. Morgan himself said in one episode that they were "mommy and daddy," and while Morgan has close relationships with everyone else, this story is about MORGAN falling apart and having to cope with that. The rest of the team not being present reveals how badly this case affected him: to the point where he cannot even be near his colleagues, who he considers family.

You are such a wonderful wonderful writer, and it's a shame more people aren't reviewing this story. There are so many BAD fics out there that get tons of reviews, and I have no idea why. This fic deserves so many more than what it has now, and I hope the lack of reviews does not discourage you from writing more fic with Morgan. (If it did, I would be an incredibly sad person). In fact, I sincerely hope this pushes to write more to get your name out into the CM community.

YOU ARE WONDERFUL.

Much 3,

P.S. Whenever I want to read about Morgan and there are no new fics out there, I re-read yours because it never fails to move me.

Nice story! Good grammar and a thought-out plot. Far better than the usual fare. Quality work, very good.

This was a great story. I want to say that first of all. Your character portraits of Hotch and Morgan were perfect. Rossi, I thought, was a little more passive than I usually picture him, but you make that work without being OOC. Some of your descriptions of Morgan's were... heartbreaking but also descriptive and beautiful in a damaged sort of way. There were a few rough spots, but nothing overtly conspicuous. The only problem I had was the lack of the rest of the team. Garcia is understandable, and even JJ, because the team sees her as more innocent and untainted them they are. But I think the other characters had some good sides that could have been brought into this as well. Who understands violently suffering the burdens you carry better than Emily? Or silently hiding your personal shame like Reid? Or the inability to be able to keep yourself together than Gideon? Please, I am not critizing, just wondering why you decided to exclude some of those characters. Your writing is extremely proficient and I hope to see more in the CM fandom from you in the future.

Rock on with your bad self. Keep up the literature.

Wow-E! That was great! M... Derek. You got the knack for writing him. Please, more chappies or something! You're great!

You write Derek's pov really well. I'm glad there wasn't alot of romance or shit in here. It was a cool what you did with the jumper kid, making him and morgan connect. This was dark and angsty and just great. Good job.

OMG! I love it! I love it! I love it! OMG I freaking love it! My favorite story of yours, definitely. This is so amazing. You captured Derek and Aaron and David so perfectly. Some of Derek's thoughts about his past abuse were scary dead-on. Wow! I love it. Some of my fav one-liners were in this fic. This ending was fantastic (pun intended). The gun line after the height one was creepily promising. You were meant for this fandom! I love it.
