Spencer wraps the blanket tighter around us causing me to melt into him further. He sweeps my wet hair over my shoulder while I stare out towards the golden sunset. He plants a kiss on my temple before nuzzling his face into my neck. "Thank you," He whispers. I run my fingers through his soft curls, "For what?" "For showing me life doesn't always have to be so serious," He sighs. "I don't know what I did before you," He mutters, almost like it wasn't for me to hear.

Aurelia "Lia" Han is a witness to one of a series of murders taking place in D.C. She helps with the case, and her relationship with Hotch grows as it progresses.

When the BAU stumbles upon a case involving a string of cyber-assisted murders, they meet Wilhelmina Schneider - a 17-year-old German-Jewish hacker and self-taught profiler. Brilliant, but living with autism, OCD, anxiety, and type 1 diabetes, Wilhelmina must navigate a world that often misunderstands her while using her unique perspective to uncover patterns no one else sees. As she bonds with Reid over their shared genius and struggles, she becomes both the BAU's secret weapon and its most vulnerable target. 💻🧩 She sees the code behind the chaos - but will her own mind be her greatest puzzle? 🩸🔎

Rain Jones has mastered the art of pretending. A smile here, a laugh there-little tricks to keep people from looking too closely. But Jack Hotchner looks. And then, so does his father. Aaron Hotchner doesn't believe in coincidences. Not when Jack keeps mentioning how Rain "doesn't feel good" or how she "cries when she thinks no one's watching." Not when she flinches at sudden movements or when she brushes off injuries with too-easy excuses. He's spent his career reading people, and now, he can't unsee the truth written all over Rain's face. So he asks. Gently, carefully. And when she hesitates-when her breath hitches, when her fingers tighten around the hem of her sleeve-he knows. She's in danger. And he won't let her face it alone. When her past comes crashing back, when threats turn into action, the BAU will stand beside her. But it's Hotch who stands in front of her, a silent promise in his eyes: She's his to protect now.

Hotch gets a text from a fellow coworker who is too shy to talk to him in person. Friendship. Boom. Love? Idk bro. text fic. [hotch x oc]

Melinda was never supposed to end up at the BAU. But when her past forces her into the world of serial killers and criminal profiling, she quickly becomes more than just the new recruit-she becomes family. Fierce, funny, and absolutely impossible to ignore, she's a hurricane the team didn't know they needed. Then there's Spencer Reid. Genius. Awkward. Brilliant. Guarded. Until Melinda. What starts as gentle banter turns into unspoken glances, forehead kisses, chaos during briefings, and a relationship that unravels slowly-until it hits like a train. From shared trauma to stolen motel moments and one truly unforgettable "we'll be back in thirty minutes" declaration, Spencer and Melinda rewrite every rule the BAU has ever known about love. In a world built on profiling monsters, sometimes the most unexpected connection is the one that saves you
