Y/N, the newest and youngest profiler in the BAU, is haunted by her past-an abusive relationship and an illness she keeps hidden from her team. Though skilled in her work, she distances herself emotionally, fearing vulnerability. Aaron Hotchner, her reserved and perceptive boss, begins to notice the cracks in her carefully constructed walls as they navigate high-stakes cases together. Drawn to her resilience, Hotch finds himself increasingly protective of Y/N. As their bond deepens, both must confront their own emotional barriers, leading to an unexpected connection amidst the darkness of their work.

With a young son who cries more than he smiles, a house in a frontier town plagued by violence, a job that all but guarantees heartache, and a death certificate for his first wife, Sheriff Aaron Hotchner cannot imagine anyone wanting to marry him. But at the urging of his few friends and family, he places an advertisement in a national paper seeking a woman of fortitude who can love his boy and tolerate his temperament. Victoria Beauregard cannot imagine ever wanting to marry someone. She stopped believing in romance and happy endings years ago, too busy trying to survive on her own and outrun her past. But when an advertisement in the paper catches her eye, she cannot stop wondering what life would be like on the frontier with the widower and his son. Updates on alternating Sundays at 5 pm EST

"Look, Mr. Hotchner, Agent Hotchner, Hotch, my brother is dead, we've dealt with it already, I have a life, people I need to take care of, the last thing I need to do is throw my family into any unknown water anytime soon bringing this back up," I say, increasing my speed. A hand grips my arm, the same way my mom did Friday morning, causing me to wince and stop my jogging. Hotchner lets go but stares at me, then my arm, noticing the fingerprints left by my mother. Shouldn't have worn a sports bra. "What happened to your arm?" he asks, pointing to the bruise. I look at it then at him, "I work at a club Agent Hotchner, people aren't very nice when a pretty lady says no," The lie falls out so easily it almost makes me laugh. "Right well, that's another thing I want to talk you about, Maddison Crawford?" he asks, raising an eyebrow. I let out a small chuckle, "Took you that long to find out, I mean, my southern accent ain't that good," Hotchner rolls his eyes, waving for me to follow him. "Hotch, I have to get home, I came out for a run, not to talk about my dead brother," He pauses, turning to me, "Tatum, we need to talk, it's serious," I shake my head, "Look Agent Hotchner, I don't care, and that's not just teenage arrogance its facts okay, so your a profiler take a hint, I didn't not open my door because I wasn't able to," #1 FBI
