Vivian Clarke joins Agent Aaron Hotchner's elite Behavioural Analysis Unit, where she quickly becomes an invaluable asset; intelligent, perceptive, and effortlessly capable under pressure. But beneath her confidence lies a history of trauma, control and survival that she has never fully confronted. What no one at the BAU knows is that Vivian was not only assigned to the team as a profiler but placed there under quiet, classified instruction to observe and assess their unit chief, Aaron Hotchner himself. And the closer Vivian gets to understanding him, the more she risks exposing the truth behind her own assignment, a truth that could shatter the fragile trust she has built inside the BAU. When fragments of Vivian's past begin to surface an abusive relationship, hidden trauma, and a life she has spent years outrunning, the BAU realises she may not just be solving cases... She may also be running from one. And eventually, even the best profilers in the world must ask: What happens when the person studying broken minds is the one most fractured of all?

Okay, don't worry. You're ready. They'd be lucky to have you. You're a badass, and if you don't get the job, then screw them its their loss. You waited impatiently in the elevator.

I'm looking for SSA Hotchner's office" you smiled. *Trigger Warnings: domestic violence, rape, child abuse, mental illness, swearing* *Note: these characters do not belong to me and are not created by me* best ratings: #4 in spencerreid #2 in criminalmindsfanfic #25 in criminalminds

He was known as the boss who never smiled. He did everything he could to protect his team, but wouldn't let them do the same for him. She was known as the agent who prevented terrorism. She did everything to protect her country, but wouldn't take care of herself. They worked in the same building for nearly a decade, but never really knew each other. That is, until she caught his eye one morning. He wasn't sure what it was about her- maybe it was the way she smiled at him every morning, or maybe it was the way his heart longed to be loved again, but he found himself interested in everything about her. She figured out his game quickly and she played for awhile, but she found herself wanting more than chats in the elevator every morning. This is the story of Aaron Hotchner, a man who had lost more than most people can handle, and Alexandra Grey, a woman who wanted to take away his pain.
