   Summary

   A through-the-years style fic, each chapter set around and during the Christmas season. In it, Reid and the reader go from coworkers, to friends, to lovers, and then to marriage.

   An excerpt below because I couldn't resist:

   "You and Reid," Hotch says accusatorily as you watch Reid walk to the SUV with Morgan. "Whats going on?"

   "Nothing," you respond, tearing your gaze from Reid to your mentor. "Nothing at all."

   "Last time I heard you say that, you were standing next to Garcia when she found the money for tablets for the team."

   You grin. "It's nothing," you repeat, ignoring the skepticism and the furrow in Hotchs brow.
