You just gotta love how comfortable the two of them are with each other. I'm used to reading 'first time' fics with those two, so to see them in the middle of a relationship was a little jarring and OOC to me- but I really liked it a lot! Rossi threatening to shoot Hotch and Hotch actually liking it- LOL! Now that I think about it, between Hotch being a good shot with 2 guns and Rossi hunting stuff, the two might just have some connection/affinity for guns as well. I can just imagine the two of them at the range...

New York I'm guessing you're talking about Meyham, right? What was in Colorado again?

Like I said, great fic, lots of funny and angsty moments and it's good that your Hotch has Rossi, cause I don't know what will get Show-Hotch out of his funk, considering he doesn't have anyone right now.
