Why this must be read:

Because Profiler, Profiled was an important episode for Derek Morgan's development, and this story does a great job of looking at how he would cope fitting himself back into the BAU afterwards. The interlude with Reid is also precious and funny, and I love how blunt Reid is. It's so true to the character.

Day one, back at the BAU. He didn't have any expectations of what it would be like; he was there to do his job, and he worked with professionals. The fact that the line between work and life had been blurred just a little bit more by the events in Chicago didn't change that fact - and none of them had to know that he'd spent twenty minutes in his car, just breathing, before he managed to make it into the building.

The truth was, nothing could ever be as difficult as living the past had been the first time around. _Re-living_ it didn't even come close.
