I literally did not realise this was you until after I wrote the post out, tried to @bitchinprentiss in the post, realised you’d changed your URL, tagged your new URL, and then scrolled up the check the URL of the sender. Also, 11/10 icon.Ask me my TOP 5 of anything All of Seasons 3-7, really, but let’s narrow it down:1. Minimal Loss - “We have to find Reid.”/“Where’s Emily?”, Emily literally getting beaten up, not just to keep Reid from getting hurt but because she knew he’d do a better job with Cyrus than her, Reid’s guilt, the hug.2. “Thank you. For being you.” “I don’t know how to be anyone else.” “That’s what I love about you.” (+ they watch Russian movies together?!)3. Reid noticing that Em had been biting her fingernails again, Em being the only person he tells about his headaches (bonus points for his conversation with Derek after Emily’s ‘death’ - “Have you spoken to anyone about this?” “Emily.”)4. Reid + dealing with Emily’s ‘death’/various almost-deaths (Not just mourning her when they thought she was dead [“I didn’t get to say goodbye”, “If we can’t keep each other safe, what’s the point? [..] It’s just not worth it”], but moments where he has to face her death/the possibility that something might happen to her - “You actually died?”, his behaviour when she came back [“What if I’d taken Dilaudid again?”, “At least you got her back.” “Did we?], and “If Emily dies because I was too slow, I’m going to be throwing a lot more than just books.”)5. I’ve watched this scene a hundred times and it’s a very small detail, but everyone’s dancing in the finale and Em’s lurking around the corner, knowing that she has to leave the next day, when out of nowhere, Reid grabs her hand and starts dancing with her. It’s easy to miss, but the fact that everyone’s doing their own thing while Em is sadly watching them except Reid who’s noticed she’s by herself warmed my heart. Also, the kiss he blows her :’)+ S12/13 - “My battle. My choice”, Reid implying Em saved his life and asking her to fight for them, allthehugs, Reid defending Em to Barnes.. just. ♡
