"I can't find it in my heart to ask forgiveness. Anything that feels this right can't be that wrong." lust, love, marriage, and divorce. You and the team are a family unit, that's obvious. However, for a a group of skilled profilers, no one saw this coming.

Marisol Vega arrives at the BAU like a breath of fresh air-warm, capable, and quietly brightening even the longest days. Without realizing it, Aaron Hotchner begins to feel lighter, smiling more and carrying less of the job home with him, and Hailey notices that something gentle and happy has slipped into his life-something warm, and quietly unstoppable.

She doesn't speak. She sees everything. When a case threatens to tear Derek Morgan apart, the BAU is forced to accept help from an outsider-Special Agent Sophia Clark, a mute profiler with unsettling insight and no allegiance to anyone but the truth. As suspicion closes in and danger escalates, Sophia becomes Derek's quiet anchor in a storm of doubt, violence, and buried trauma. Their connection builds slowly, deliberately-through glances, signs, and moments that don't need sound to matter. The Sound of Silence is a Criminal Minds slow burn exploring trust, trauma, and love found in the spaces between words. 🥇Criminal Minds February-March 2026

He couldn't put his finger on it-there was no logical reason for the unease that tightened his chest whenever she was near. She was competent, professional, even pleasant, yet something about her set off a quiet alarm in his mind, a nagging feeling he couldn't shake but couldn't explain. Derek's hesitation begins to shift as he uncovers pieces of Evelyn's story. As they're forced to work closely on increasingly dangerous cases, the tension between them shifts. Moments of vulnerability and unspoken understanding begin to bridge the gap, sparking a connection neither of them expected. ༄༄༄༄༄༄༄༄༄༄༄༄༄༄༄༄༄༄༄ 𝐂𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐟𝐚𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐜 𝐃𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐤 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧 × 𝐅𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐎𝐂

Okay, don't worry. You're ready. They'd be lucky to have you. You're a badass, and if you don't get the job, then screw them its their loss. You waited impatiently in the elevator. The first person you notice when the doors open is a tall man with messy hair and mismatched socks. "Hi, I'm Jo Blaise. I'm looking for SSA Hotchner's office" you smiled. *Trigger Warnings: domestic violence, rape, child abuse, mental illness, swearing* *Note: these characters do not belong to me and are not created by me* best ratings: #4 in spencerreid #2 in criminalmindsfanfic #25 in criminalminds
