A case goes wrong when feds are called to assist your investigation, and it's mostly because of you. Instead of avoiding the matter like you usually do, you send an apology email to the calm, collected, ever-serious unit chief, SSA Aaron Hotchner, in hopes you can better understand your mistakes - and how NOT to repeat them. What you don't realize is that sends everything into a wholly different direction, and you realize it too late. A chain of emails starts up between him and the actual person whose email you had been logged on: your fellow, male detective, who you now have to pretend to be. (Elevator pitch: you ask for help from hotch, not knowing you're still signed in from your male coworker's email. You keep up the ruse and neither of u knows what u signed up for) Slowburn! Friends to lovers! And quite a lot of emailin/texting! (Bonus: huge misunderstanding!) IMAGE source: horde-lord on tumblr I do not own Criminal Minds, the characters or the story!*

Aaron Hotchner x Female Reader You just moved back into the country, barely even unpacked the boxes laying around your apartment, before Jack Garrett came to you with a proposal for a new job. Little did you know, this job would have you stumbling into the one person you'll grow to never want to be without. **** Book cover made by me

Aaron Hotchner is not only your unit chief, but one of your best friends. After a case you decided to text him, and that lead both of you into a relationship, were you have to get even with yourself first. What will happen if you let yourself fall for this man? Will it be the perfect relationship or will it be one hell of a ride? TW: smut, violence, mentions of rape, hard language

You arrive at your new job at the FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit. Warm welcomes envelope you from all of your colleagues, but one rises above the others. SSA Aaron Hotchner, BAU Unit Chief. Yes, it's wrong. You both agree that it is. Oh, but can one deny the heart?

You've been with the BAU for a few months but your temper and constant defiance of authority drives Aaron Hotchner insane. The only way he knows to tame you is to punish you, but you find punishment can be very rewarding. (This is my first Criminal Minds fic and my first time posting to Wattpad so I apologize if I mess up or forget a tag or warning or anything. Also if someone else has posted a fic like this, credit for the idea goes to them.)

"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.

You are an agent at the Behavioural Analysis Unit, working under SSA Aaron Hotchner, your best friend from high school and the love of your life. But will everything pan out as dreamily as you want it to? Or will reality rip your love story apart before it even begins? *** Originally an imagine, written for @doctorwhofan24 on a wonderful prompt given by them: 'Reader joins the BAU and she was an old friend of his from high school. Then he starts having feelings for her and of course she's like always liked him.' Dedicated to @doctorwhofan24. :) Leave a comment, a suggestion maybe?Thanks for reading ♡ :*

You have worked for the BAU for about 6 weeks now and you have gotten close with everyone on the team except for Agent Hotchner. He has been giving you a cold should and has barley spoken to you, but when you aren't looking you can feel his eyes on you.

(Y/N) starts at the BAU with new people, new beginnings. As you are finished signing the papers to join the team, you realize that there is one person you didnt imagine ever seeing again. The love of your teenage life. One turn of events on your first case makes everything shift. When the love of your life almost dies you start to realize life is shorter then you thought.

"Oh my God, I'm so sorry. Here," the black haired man said, holding out his hand. I take his hand and he helps me up off the sidewalk. He looks me up and down as I wipe any dirt I had on me off. "Uh, I'm Aaron Hotchner. Nice to meet you," The tall man shakes my hand and I smile. "I'm Y/N. Nice to meet you too," I say in return.
