I don't like how I did this one so I'll be writing a new one!
In the BAU, it had always been about family, and their family was about to expand when American born Zasha joins the team. Born to a Russian family, it's no surprise she has the accent, after her family flew her to Russia for 10 years. She had such an IQ that put the BAU's very own Spencer Reid to shame, added to that a Eidetic memory and Hyperthymesia.
Hotch was wary about her, he knew she was as good as she claimed during their first case, but he was aware she was a damaged individual, a woman who had an extreme vivid memory of her past never forgets her pain, and he knew nobody goes through life without a heart breaking event or 2.
But over time, he warmed up to her, and she was forced to open up to the team over different cases.
After 2 very close to the heart murders, they grow closer than they already are, but will things work out between them, or will their jobs get in the way?
PSA/DISCLAIMER: Hotch is 32. This story will not have any trigger warnings but it does involve mature scenes such as suicide, rape, sexual assault, murder. Some may be in graphic detail.
