A case in New York brings you back to confront and forces you to work alongside a childhood friend - Aaron Hotchner. A long time ago, your life was alongside the Hotchners. You grew up with your best friend, Sean, and learned to coexist next to his brother - an expert at ignoring you. Your relationship with him was tumultuous at best. Complicated at worst. It only got worse as the years went by. However, encouraged by your respective superiors to collaborate, you try to learn ways to work together amicably, without bringing out the painful past. The more you get to know this new version of Hotch, the more feelings arise: new and old ones are sparked to life. All while reminiscing on old memories. Maybe, what you're both doomed to become is not dissimilar to the remaining wasteland of the bombs you're investigating. (Elevator pitch: As his brother's best friend, you and Hotch grew up together, but a fall out causes you both to hate one another, only to be reunited years later for a case in NYC. ) childhood friends to enemies to lovers!

i swear, i'm only cryptic and machiavellian cause I care. Agent Lucy Byrne is damn good at her job. She's meticulous, she's cautious, she's stoic and she's so darn smart. But when case upon case begins to remind her more and more of a buried time in her past, she finds it hard not to unravel. But her team don't need to know about that. No one needs to know anything. (spencer reid x fem. oc) criminal minds s3-? slow burn with cliche tropes!

Hotch agreed to not fight Strauss when she added an eighth agent to the team. He did not agree to like said agent. For SSA Victoria "Tor" Beauregard, having everyone like her is the key to her survival. If they like her, they won't look closely enough to see the shadow looming over her past. So, whatever it takes to get her grumpy boss to like her, she will do it. Even if it means staying late every night to help him with his paperwork. This story is completed at 65 chapters (plus the author's note) with 1 bonus chapter!
