Acting on impulse, you show up at your boss, Aaron Hotchner's, doorstep in the middle of the night. The resulting night of passion kickstarts a timeline of events you never could've imagined. Crazy how one night could cause so much pain and pleasure.

Aaron's kept his secrets, you've kept yours. But is it possible to continue hiding? ---- Special thanks to @reidsbau for helping me edit:)

You are a criminal justice major in a Virginia college. As an elective, you chose to take a profiling class from Aaron Hotchner, lead investigator of the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit. After Hotch asks you to be his TA for the semester your chemistry becomes undeniable and his demeanor turns out to not be the only thing that's hard.

No-one had seen Annabel Bradey in a decade, that was until she resurfaced in SSA Aaron Hotchner's office in Quantico. She was carrying scars both physical and mental, but wouldn't share her story. Or at least not until everyone she loved was in danger because of her secrets. . . {Started: 10.04.2020} {Finished: tbc} {Aaron Hotchner x OC} {Criminal Minds} {Mentions of captivity and manipulation from the beginning.}
