Dr. Lizanne Harmon looks to have a pretty charmed life - she has a secure job as a gynecologist, a home with two beautiful girls and has no immediate health concerns, because apparently having intense gardening competitions with the neighbors doesn't actually run in the family. But when a shocking discovery drags Lizzy into the world of the BAU and onto the trail of a serial killer, she is forced to hug her family a little tighter and re-evaluate her relationships with her friends and colleagues. And can love really bloom when you're looking over your shoulder for the eyes of a murderer - even if that love is in the form of Supervisory Special Agent Aaron Hotchner?

A series of short stories detailing the lives of Aaron Hotchner and Tor Beauregard during and after the events of "Shadows and Light" by the_grey_lady_weeps. I will be uploading new additions on Saturdays at 8 pm EST. There are at least 8 chapters across 5 stories that I want to share with you!

A young Aaron and Emily start to see each other in secret to hide from Emily's mom. But, right when Emily is about to see him for the last time before heading off to Yale, things take a sharp turn. Years later, they run into each other again when Aaron is being questioned on his job performance by Strauss. Erin Strauss brought in the best replacement she can think of, Emily Prentiss.

Emily and Aaron have always had hidden feelings for each other. But, Emily is already in a committed relationship with Andrew Mendoza. What happens when Andrew moves away, leaving the two back in Washington DC?

Just a basic collection of Hotchniss one shots and short stories. Some steamy and some fluffy. Get a blanket and some hot chocolate. You could be here for a while.

The first time Hotch sees you - young, brazen and violent - it's at an old trailer and he's there with Gideon to question you about your father's whereabouts. Someone who the BAU have pegged as their unsub. The second time he sees you - they're back to question the family of an unsub's victim. And you're different: elegant, eloquent and all sharp edges now well-rounded and polished. And married to a billionaire. The third time it's inside the interrogation room, after they find the corpse of a second man looking eerily similar to your missing husband. --- (Elevator pitch: reader may be a serial killer and Hotch is certain you murdered your husband. Chaos and situationships occurr) ---- (this is a slow build - yes they yearn! enemies to fuck buddies to enemies to lovers! - and implied sexual content) so much murder! so much yearning! #147 in enemies to lovers 😌😌 I do not own Criminal minds, the characters and the story!*

You're a genius alongside Spencer Reid. It was your one year anniversary with the BAU when you got a case in your home town. A little town in no where Connecticut. What happens when you're up one late night, who joins you outside? ~~~~~ I make a lot of spelling errors so just deal with it. Some parts are based off Gilmore Girls. If you haven't seen it it's fine. My logic doesn't always make sense so don't think to hard about it. Also posted on AO3
