Agent Aaron Hotchner couldn't ask for better agents than David Rossi, Derek Morgan, Emily Prentiss, and Jennifer Jereau. In fact, he prides himself on heading the best team the BAU has to offer. Still, he's not so arrogant he doesn't know when it's time to call for help, so when his team hits a brick wall with a ticking clock, he reaches out to the Intelligence Control and Analysis Program. ICAP sends him a mountain of files, all of them good candidates, but Hotch is repeatedly drawn to the same file. Genius #2036334-4383 has three doctorates and a high success rate with the Bureau, though he's never been in the field. According to his file, Genius doesn't play well with others, but Hotch doesn't see that posing much of a problem. Besides, it's a temporary arrangement. What's the worst that could happen?

"You know, baby girl is my nickname for Garcia, but you know who calls you that?" "Reid does." *For reference age regression is not a kink nor should it be seen that way and I won't tolerate rude comments about little space.

Vivian Clarke joins Agent Aaron Hotchner's elite Behavioural Analysis Unit, where she quickly becomes an invaluable asset; intelligent, perceptive, and effortlessly capable under pressure. But beneath her confidence lies a history of trauma, control and survival that she has never fully confronted. What no one at the BAU knows is that Vivian was not only assigned to the team as a profiler but placed there under quiet, classified instruction to observe and assess their unit chief, Aaron Hotchner himself. And the closer Vivian gets to understanding him, the more she risks exposing the truth behind her own assignment, a truth that could shatter the fragile trust she has built inside the BAU. When fragments of Vivian's past begin to surface an abusive relationship, hidden trauma, and a life she has spent years outrunning, the BAU realises she may not just be solving cases... She may also be running from one. And eventually, even the best profilers in the world must ask: What happens when the person studying broken minds is the one most fractured of all?

Four years after her mission, Emily decided it was time for a new beginning and moved back to the States to pursue her dream career, with her three-year-old toddler in tow. Navigating motherhood and the unpleasant feelings her new boss unwittingly stirred within her, Emily struggled to hide the enjoyment she felt from the light he brought into her life. And in a precarious situation she was too complacent to recognize, she found herself happy and content. But she would soon discover that she was never fully untethered from her past- no matter where she went or the oceans she crossed, some shadows simply never faded; their grip remained unyielding. Slowly, the wall she had built to protect herself began to crack, its segments fracturing, allowing old ghosts to creep through the gaps and reenter her world.

But when she ends up in the middle of Serial Killer's Spree, she meets Emily who is more like her than she might think. ~~~~ Emily Prentiss x Daughter (OC)

The Olive Branch and the Bullet A Criminal Minds Fanfiction Novel When Major Esperanza De Santis trades her Marine uniform for a badge, she brings with her a steel will, a sharp mind, and a two-year-old son she's raising on her own. The FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit is unlike any battlefield she's known-riddled with psychological warfare, emotional fallout, and the burden of always arriving too late. Her mission is simple: build a better life for her son, earn her place on the elite team, and keep her past at bay. But nothing about this job-or the people in it-stays simple for long. Unit Chief Aaron Hotchner is as precise and unreadable as a locked case file, but Esperanza sees through the cracks in his armor. What begins as mutual respect quickly coils into tension, and beneath that, something far more dangerous: possibility. Between solving brutal cases and surviving bureaucratic politics, Esperanza must navigate deployment orders that threaten to tear her away, and family expectations that threaten to unravel the quiet life she's trying to build. As the lines between duty and desire blur, she faces a choice no soldier is trained for-fight for the life she's made... or protect the one she left behind. In a world of darkness, The Olive Branch and the Bullet is a story of resilience, belonging, and the unexpected places we find home. #124 Military -10th June 25 #2 Spencerreid - 11th June 25 #70 American- 12th June 25

"We need someone who can talk to these people. Someone who is authorized to speak to diplomats." He had a general idea of what the older men would say next. Looking up with raised eyebrows, Hotch waited. A smirk spread over Dave's face. "Why don't you just call your girlfriend?" he asked, taking another sip of his cappuccino. Rolling his eyes, Hotch exhaled slowly. He had guessed correctly. "She is not my girlfriend," he gave back weakly.
