I rarely read fanfic outside my fandom, mostly because I don't know who to read, but I wanted something different today and I was scrolling down the lgbtfest when I saw your fic, and since I love Criminal Mind and that Prentiss always struck me as gay, I just couldn't pass :)

I'm really glad I read this, I really enjoyed it (as well as its prequel) and I especially loved how she doesn't feel like she should have to tell them. It's something I can relate to, I mean... people don't come out as straight, why should I come out as pansexual?

On a more "technical" note; the characters completly felt right, it was something that I could see happen in an episode (it would be awesome actually!) and I really enjoyed how it came together.

Thank you for sharing this ♥
I can't believe this is the only CM icon I have...

If there was someone in my life, I would have talked about her, but unless you're dating someone, unless you can just slip it into conversation, there's no easy way to tell people that you're gay, not really.

True that, and entirely the reason that the only people who know about my sexuality are the ones I squee about television!gay and such with. You drew a great picture of this private Emily that I can believe walked straight out of the show. Very much enjoyed.
