WHOA, that was intense! And really brilliant... I especially love how well you hit on how different their reasons are for being drawn to each other - Nathan is excited, furiously excited, thinking of Reid helpless and hurt, tied to a chair and whipped and beaten and drugged against his will, and Reid feels disgust roiling in the base of his belly but he can't stop talking, because the relief he feels from finally voicing his suffering just simply outweighs it. - but how strangely similar also, in them both being tortured outsiders.

Also loved the characterizations of all the other team members- their reactions to Spencer/Nathan all seemed spot-on.

All in all, deliciously twisted and sadly sweet :)

PS: I have actually started DREAMING about Spencer now, thanks to all this TV, and my new fave one-off unsub to pair with Reid is Adam/Amanda, although I'm not really sure how that would work...
