In a state of despondence following the murder of his ex-wife, Aaron Hotchner is happy living life by his new rule; don't get close to anyone, and no one gets hurt. All is going to plan until he meets his new neighbour, Elena Swan, who seems hell-bent on injecting positivity in to his seemingly grey world. His over-zealous neighbour is a cause for serious irritation, but Aaron soon discovers that Little Miss Sunshine might have a dark past of her own, one that is masked by overt enthusiasm and the need to see the world smile.

Aaron Hotchner Fan Fiction She mistook his car for hers. He mistook her for harmless. Both were wrong. Aaron Hotchner didn't expect to spend his morning arguing with a stranger over a black government-issued SUV. He especially didn't expect her to be briefing the BAU hours later - not as a witness, not as a victim - but as the commanding officer of the Department of Defense's elite tactical unit. Hope Carey isn't what she seems. Civilian on the street, soldier in the room. She's guarded, brilliant, impossible to read - and her presence on a joint terrorism case throws Hotch's world into chaos. The BAU doesn't play well with outsiders. And Hotch doesn't get distracted. Until now. As the lines between DOD and DOJ blur, Hope faces a decision that could end her career - or redefine it. And Aaron must confront a truth more dangerous than any case: sometimes, the person who challenges you most is the one you can't walk away from. Do they work it out? What will the future look like when everything they know is put on the line? ⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️ This story contains themes and content that may be distressing for some readers, including: • Violence and graphic crime scenes (canon-level) • PTSD, trauma, and psychological distress • Gun violence, bomb threats, and terrorism • Military themes and deployment-related trauma • Mentions of past abuse • Injury • Strong language (18+) • Slow-burn romantic and sexual tension • Explicit sexual content (18+ only) Please read at your own discretion.

Arabella never meant to fall for him. He's her boss. A single father. A man still carrying the weight of too much loss. But the night Aaron Hotchner calls and asks her to watch his son, something shifts. It starts with Jack-movie nights, soccer games, inside jokes. But somewhere between bedtime stories and quiet cups of coffee, Arabella finds herself drawn into the spaces Hotch keeps guarded. The silences. The glances. The way he looks at her like she's the first steady thing he's allowed himself in years. Their connection is unspoken, fragile, and slow-achingly slow. But some loves aren't born in sparks. Some are built in quiet moments-until they become impossible to ignore. Just this once, she lets herself want more. Just this once, he lets her in. And neither of them is ready for what that means.
