Y/N has worked at the BAU for almost a year now and things were going great at work. Until the stress blackouts started whenever she was home. Alex, her boyfriend who lives with her, always explained that during these blackouts, she was incredibly clumsy and always hurting herself. That always explained the marks that would appear after them. The team, especially her best friends Spencer Reid and Emily Prentiss, worried for her but she always assured them everything was fine because it was. Did they believe her? Did she believe Alex? Did she even believe herself? One thing was certain, her one-year anniversary at the BAU was not going to be a pleasant one.

you can only do so much to try and save a relationship, you can fix the holes with bandaids but eventually, the foundation all comes crumbling down into a depressingly beautiful mess in which it is beyond repair. and amongst the beautiful wreckage, stood a beautiful man and you couldn't get enough, despite the damage that is done. the damage you both caused. despite you losing yourself loving him. TW: heartbreak, verbal fighting, mentions of crime, blood and gore, strained relationships, hurt, death and suicide soft!hotch sub!hotch female!reader

how I think the BAU team would text eachother except you're also on the team dealing with their antics Some stuff is out of character and I exaggerated their personalities for comedic value, enjoy!
