Samila Hotchner is only three years old when her story begins. To her, the world is simple: her father is her hero, bedtime stories are sacred, and the safest place in the world is in his arms. She doesn't understand why he leaves in the middle of the night, why his eyes sometimes look so tired, or why the phone calls always seem to take him away. As the years pass, Samila grows up in the shadow of a job that demands everything from the man she loves most. Through childhood innocence, difficult questions, and the slow realization that the world isn't as safe as she once believed, Samila must learn what it truly means to be the daughter of the BAU's Unit Chief. Told through both Samila's perspective and the quiet, protective thoughts of her father, In the Shadow of Justice is a story about family, resilience, and the fragile balance between protecting the world and protecting the ones you love. Because sometimes the hardest thing for a man who hunts monsters... is making sure his child never has to see them.

FBI profiler Harper Sloan is used to chasing darkness - long hours, brutal cases, and the constant weight of knowing the minds of monsters better than her own. But when a series of violent crimes unexpectedly end up Seattle at the same time she's visiting her brother, Harper finds herself forced to walk the line between the horrors she hunts and the family she's nearly lost to time. Her older brother, Mark Sloan - renowned plastic surgeon, legendary flirt, and fiercely protective big brother - isn't thrilled to see his sister tangled in another high-risk investigation. Especially not when it's happening right in the city he calls home. Alongside former childhood friend and neurosurgeon Derek Shepherd, Mark is determined to give Harper something she's never had: space to rest, people to lean on, and a reason to stay. As Harper balances high-stakes BAU cases with the chaotic rhythm of life inside Seattle Grace Mercy West, she begins to rediscover what it means to be more than a profiler - to be a sister, a friend, and maybe even something more. But the closer her work gets to Seattle's heart, the more the lines blur between healing wounds and confronting old ones. Because monsters don't just live in the field - sometimes, they hide in the places we thought were safe. {Spencer Reid x Lexie Grey} {Aaron Hotchner x Original Character}
