Resilience [Aaron Hotchner]

A/N PLEASE READ.

Hi everyone! I wanted to tell you how thankful I am that you even clicked my story. I understand most will not stay, but I am okay with that. I love criminal minds and I have created a million scenarios in my head while watching the show. This story is to bring them to life through my original character, Victoria Fermi.

If possible, I would greatly appreciate it if you could leave any critics you have in the comments. This story is for all of us and I want it to live up to its potential. This is my first story ever so bare with me. I do my best to edit and plan out but I can still guarantee mistakes.

P.S. Please do not leave hate. If you don't like it and would like to help me improve, then comment or message me. If you are just trying to be mean... please don't.

TW Message: This story will include triggering topics that have been included in the show. Most will be through the cases, but some will involve main characters as well. My greatest concern is you. If there is any chance for pain to you, please do not read. I will try to keep it minimal, but if you feel anything is too graphic, MESSAGE ME.

Smut: I do not know at this point if this story will have smut. If I am able to write it, I will try, but I cannot guarantee anything. In case I am able and you are uncomfortable reading, I will put a dashed line before and after. This way you can just skip.

Now this is very important. This will be a VERY SLOW, slow burn. (Multiple Seasons) Not only do I love the tension that comes with it BUT...

Haley will be in this story as well. I plan on following the criminal minds timeline and I have multiple ideas where Haley is an unfortunate requirement. Just to be clear though, there will be NO cheating. I refuse to write it. Regardless of any situation, cheating is not okay and I will not glamorize it. Which brings me to another topic.

In no way do I ever want to disrespect any of you. Criminal Minds deals with a lot of hard topics, which means this book will. If at any point you feel like I romanticize, glamorize, or even poorly write a difficult topic, tell me immediately. I promise it is not my intention and I will be thankful for the help.

AVID READERS! If you have an idea for my stories, message me! I want this story to include everyone. In addition, I plan on this story being VERY long. Let me know in the comments if one long book, or multiple books are preferred.

Finally... I am still in school and my professors are a pain in my ass. This means there will probably be slow updates. If you're like me and dislike reading a story before it is finished, you can follow me and I will announce when it is done.

I love you and your support! I hope you enjoy it.
