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.

Criminal minds fan fiction. The team have to deal with an unsub that isn't trying to kill but injure in a specific way. With no witnesses, no leads and an escalating attack pattern, things get dicey when cops start being targeted, including one of their own.

It's just a typical week in the BAU, until they are invited to work on a case involving the death of older women and their conditions. When this case gets beyond personal for Spencer Reid, will it make him or break him?Will he lose yet another loved one right before his eyes? (I do not own any of the characters and/or locations in this story!)

The BAU team gets called to Elroy, Wisconsin to investigate murders of five young people, three women and two men in their twenties, having nothing but their appereance in common. The thing disturbing to most of the team is the fact all the victims look similiar to someone they know. Hotch orders Reid to stay at the station because he's worried about te doctor. The unsub is one of the most difficult ones the team had to deal with so far, so after the team, excluding the young doctor, and most of the officers leave to arrest possible suspect, they find it was a fake call, they come back to devasted place, the officers that stayed behind all lying on the floor, not remembering anything that has happened since their colegues left, and of course everyone's worst fear came true, the unsub got Reid. Later two other bodies are found, one female and one male, neither of them being able to get identified, until the unsub is caught, when getting asked about the FBI agent's wherabouts only replies with "Thought you would find him by now" while having satisfied smirk on his face. No one can tell wheter the unsub is bluffing or not, and as much as the team wishes he was, while discovering the unsub's hideout they find some of his victims alive, their worst fear being confirmed. They had lost the doctor... or did they? ____________ -this is my first fanfic, also English is my 2nd language, so excuse any mistakes and/or errors -I do not own the show 'Criminal Minds' nor the characters -also obvious trigger warnings for death, violence, swearing, maybe 'boy x boy' and 'girl x girl' relationships (even between the main characters and bcs I'm a multishipper idk which ones I want to include yet) probably alcohol or drugs as well (if anything else comes to mind, will add before mentioned in fanfiction)

What happens when the team accidentally catches a killer who kills killers? What will the team think about their methods? Will it cause a divide within the team? ***Side note: Hotch isn't going to have a kid in here because no offense but Jack doesn't bring a whole lot to the table.*** And I know this sounds kind of like Dexter in the beginning but I'll try to steer it away from that as best I can. :::And this will be an extremely slow burn type because Haley is in the first few seasons and I don't like the idea of Hotch cheating::: Please leave comments! I love reading them and interacting with you guys! And I will be going back and fixing grammar errors and maybe adding more descriptions in the book.

I have started a second one called Danika: Part 2 Go ahead and check it out!

Maeve Booth has spent her life burying secrets deeper than any case file. As the fiercely loyal twin sister of celebrated FBI agent Seeley Booth, Maeve carved her own path through the Bureau - hiding a truth that could destroy everything she's built. Years ago, a single night with her brother's best friend, Aaron Hotchner, left her with more than a broken heart - it left her with Liam, a son Hotch has never known exists. Now, fate throws her into the Behavioural Analysis Unit under the command of the man she's spent nearly two decades trying to forget. As Maeve and Hotch navigate a deadly string of ritualistic murders, old wounds reopen and buried desires resurface. But the closer they get to the truth - about the killer and each other - the harder it becomes to keep her biggest secret hidden. In a world where trust is everything and lies can kill, Maeve must decide: how far will she go to protect the badge... and her heart? Bones X Criminal Minds crossover!

New to the Behavioural Analysis Unit, Agent Carmen Martinez finds herself navigating more than just case files and late nights-she's drawn to the quiet strength and guarded heart of her superior, Aaron Hotchner who's significantly older than her.
