Review:
When the BAU takes a case involving gay couples being murdered in Dexter City, Hotchner and Reid go undercover to lure out the unsub and discover something about themselves along the way.

Like most stories of the "undercover" genre, Hotchner and Reid's relationship progresses fairly quickly (at least the physical aspect), but I find myself really enjoy the case-solving aspect of the fic. Hotchner is the "sub" in his relationship with Reid, and that is something you rarely see in the CM fandom but quite possible considering the Hotchner/Reid dynamics in my opinion. While I wish the author had expanded the length and complexity of this story, it is quite good as is and I would recommend it to any Hotchner/Reid fan.
