Crystal Archer was an average woman in her opinion. She was bold, smart, and incredibly charming but she wasn't girly. Oh no, for from that. She grew up being the only girl in her family and her brothers treated her no different then one of the guys. She was witty with her comments and just as wise with her advice. Crystal was no push over, but she was kind with a sense of humor. Join her on her adventure with the BAU and catching criminals and maybe finding that being "girly" was an okay thing. - - "You seem stressed" "Gee, almost sounded like a profiler there big boss" "You do understand that I can fire you, correct?" - *I DO NOT OWN CRIMINAL MINDS OR THE CHARACTERS EXCEPT FOR THE ONE I MADE UP* *IMAGES FOUND ON GOOGLE, CREDIT TO THE ORIGINAL OWNER* HIGHEST RANKINGS: #1 in ROMANCEFANFICTION #1 in CRIMINALMINDS #1 in BAU #2 in BAU #2 in AARONHOTCHNERXOC #3 in ROMANCEFANFICTION #3 in AARONHOTCHNER #4 in AARONHOTCHNER #4 in BAU #4 in MYSTERY-THRILLER #4 in ROMANCEFANFICTION #5 in AARONHOTCHNER #5 in BAU #6 in AARONHOTCHNER #6 in DAVIDROSSI #6 in MYSTERY-THRILLER #7 in BAU #7 in MYSTERY-THRILLER #8 in BAU #8 in DAVIDROSSI #8 in MYSTERY-THRILLER #8 in ROMANCEFANFICTION

"You can't speak to me like that" Aaron warned. I raised both my eyebrows and a small smirk appeared on my face. "Or what, sir? You'll slam me against a wall?" I taunted.

And in the end, we were all just humans, drunk on the idea that love, only love, could heal our brokenness. Published: August 5, 2019 Completed: April 15, 2020

"And what if I don't?" You ask defiantly. He comes up closer to you at that remark, close enough so you're the only one that could hear him. Close enough that he hovers over you, pressing your back against the wall. "Then, I'd pull you into the bathroom and make sure you wouldn't be able to sit for the rest of the case." His words are low, bringing out the deeper rumble to his voice. It sends shivers down your spine. "Understand?" "Yes," you scoff. "Yes, what?" "Yes, sir." ______________ Your relationship with your boss has always been complicated, to say the least. You've seen each other at your highest and lowest. You're both incredibly stubborn and unwilling to relinquish control. Yet, you still find him slightly cocky and arrogant. You find yourself defying him at every available turn on cases in an attempt to prove yourself. In turn, he finds you a bit bothersome. But what happens when over time, these complicated feelings fade into something even more complicated. Something that feels less like annoyance and more like adoration. Something that forces you both to face your greatest fear: losing control.

As an FBI agent in the Dallas field office, your unit calls for collaboration with the BAU. Years later, a decision is made for you, catapulting you suddenly into that same team - this time as a trainee. Amongst the flurry of cases, new teammates, and the struggle to keep up with the load of work, you start to carve out a new life. And if the man who'd grabbed your attention back then, SSA Aaron Hotchner, happens to slowly become your friend - you welcome it with open arms. Developing feelings for him - less so. This is a slow burn, and title from Maggie Rogers' song :) (Sorry I don't know how to write something that is not about yearning or pining) Image from tumblr user @0420-1102 I do not own Criminal minds, the characters or the story!*
