Hi! i hope this is okay…I just rewatched ‘The Bittersweet Science’ in criminal minds s7 and I had totally forgotten about the scene where Hotch takes the unsub to his dying son so he can say goodbye and while he is telling his son that it’s okay to stop fighting, Hotch is in the back of the room crying under the lamplight. I had completely forgotten about it and idk how because it’s almost painfully moving?? and I can only imagine how that felt for him— watching this guy who has beat people to death with his own hands hold his child in his bruised hands— there are so many parallels between him and Hotch’s situation barely 2 years earlier in 100 and watching it I couldn’t help but be curious about what that episode or even just that scene would look like in AJF, especially with the dynamic of a (sorta?) new relationship/new dynamic w/ reader. Any plans to write it? Would love to see your take on this one day or even just know your thoughts about it. As always, love re-reading the whole saga whenever the mood strikes.
OMG bestie I was JUST thinking about this era and it’s definitely on the list. I want to write this weekend because I don’t have anything going on, so I’m hoping I can get back to it.
Thank you ❤️
"The Infinite Tides," by Christian Kiefer Pam Houston, author of "Contents May Have Shifted," and one of my favorite essays, "Corn Maze," came to Butler two years ago. At dinner, I sat across from her, dazed. Earlier that day I watched one of my kids undergo a medical procedure. And because this is about one of my kids that's all I can say, except that I was reeling from watching the procedure and from its import. Even when I'm not in the midst of going through family drama I'm introverted, and super-shy around authors I admire. But I managed to ask Ms. Houston about what she was reading. And did she ever give me some great recs. One was "The Infinite Tides," a story about an astronaut whose family undergoes tragedy while he's in orbit. The prose is EXQUISITE, and the story idea, the way the author set up his protagonist so he experiences grief under the starkest, most isolated circumstances, is brilliant. I loved this novel and can't wait to see what Kiefer writes next.
