Dr. Dahlia Sinclair was supposed to be a temporary loan from Counterintelligence: brilliant pharmacologist, classified menace, designer-dressed problem with a badge, a Glock, and candy in her pocket. Aaron Hotchner was supposed to keep the BAU functioning, not fall for the prettiest federal incident Quantico has ever had to document. Between serial killers, team gossip, classified side missions, suspiciously romantic paperwork, and a genius woman turning the BAU into her personal chaos lab, profiling unsubs might actually be easier than surviving Dahlia's chaotic commentd in the team. A 2017 Criminal Minds AU and one love story that absolutely should have come with a Bureau warning label. (It doesnt follow any season closely but kind of started loosely on s1 and obv hotch is aged down) Disclaimer: I do not own Criminal Minds, its canon characters, original storylines, or any images used for inspiration/aesthetics; all rights belong to their respective owners. I only own Dahlia Sinclair, her original backstory, and the altered plot/AU elements written in this story. Oh and obviously it may contain sensitive scenes, its criminal minds after all🤷🏻‍♀️
