As an FBI agent in the Dallas field office, your unit calls for collaboration with the BAU. Years later, a decision is made for you, catapulting you suddenly into that same team - this time as a trainee. Amongst the flurry of cases, new teammates, and the struggle to keep up with the load of work, you start to carve out a new life. And if the man who'd grabbed your attention back then, SSA Aaron Hotchner, happens to slowly become your friend - you welcome it with open arms. Developing feelings for him - less so.

Hotch agreed to not fight Strauss when she added an eighth agent to the team. He did not agree to like said agent. For SSA Victoria "Tor" Beauregard, having everyone like her is the key to her survival. If they like her, they won't look closely enough to see the shadow looming over her past. So, whatever it takes to get her grumpy boss to like her, she will do it. Even if it means staying late every night to help him with his paperwork.

Inside, everything narrowed. Pressure. Gauze. Hands. Bleeding. IVs. BP still low. He was fighting to stay conscious, and Aspen crouched down close enough for him to hear her over the noise. "You're going to be fine. Just stay with me, Agent." He blinked. "Hotchner. Aaron Hotchner." She nodded, already halfway through a mental checklist. "Nice to meet you, Agent Hotchner. Try not to die before we get your name in the chart." or Dr. Aspen Wynter is a trauma surgeon and Agent Aaron Hotchner happens to be involved in many traumas.

With a young son who cries more than he smiles, a house in a frontier town plagued by violence, a job that all but guarantees heartache, and a death certificate for his first wife, Sheriff Aaron Hotchner cannot imagine anyone wanting to marry him. But at the urging of his few friends and family, he places an advertisement in a national paper seeking a woman of fortitude who can love his boy and tolerate his temperament. Victoria Beauregard cannot imagine ever wanting to marry someone. She stopped believing in romance and happy endings years ago, too busy trying to survive on her own and outrun her past.

The orchard burned on a wedding night no one remembers fondly. Smoke rose into a black Virginia sky, curling like fingers around a forgotten name. By morning, there were only cinders, and one woman walking out of them like a ghost - Emery Vale. Sixteen years later, the ground stirs again. A murder. A signature. A heart carved into skin. The BAU is called in. For Aaron Hotchner, it's just another case - until he hears the name of the town. Until he sees her face again. Grace Haynes, a teenage girl, is found dead in the orchard. Her best friend, Calla Vale, doesn't cry. She sketches instead. And the face she draws? A girl named Ivy Hart. A girl she's never met. But the adults in Manassas, Virginia have met Ivy. They remember her. They just wish they didn't. The past is rising like smoke again. And this time, it's coming for all of them. OR when, The past is not only unresolved - it's alive, bleeding back into the present through ritualistic murders, buried trauma, and a long-forgotten death. The BAU arrives in Manassas expecting a case. What they find is a deeply personal reckoning for Aaron Hotchner, a haunting return for Emery Vale, and a chilling echo of Ivy Hart - a girl who died young, but may never have truly left.
