Dr. Dahlia Sinclair was supposed to be a temporary loan from Counterintelligence: brilliant pharmacologist, classified menace, designer-dressed problem with a badge, a Glock, and candy in her pocket. Aaron Hotchner was supposed to keep the BAU functioning, not fall for the prettiest federal incident Quantico has ever had to document. Between serial killers, team gossip, classified side missions, suspiciously romantic paperwork, and a genius woman turning the BAU into her personal chaos lab, profiling unsubs might actually be easier than surviving Dahlia's chaotic commentd in the team. A 2017 Criminal Minds AU and one love story that absolutely should have come with a Bureau warning label. (It doesnt follow any season closely but kind of started loosely on s1 and obv hotch is aged down) Disclaimer: I do not own Criminal Minds, its canon characters, original storylines, or any images used for inspiration/aesthetics; all rights belong to their respective owners. I only own Dahlia Sinclair, her original backstory, and the altered plot/AU elements written in this story. Oh and obviously it may contain sensitive scenes, its criminal minds after all🤷🏻‍♀️

"Say it. Tell me you love me." She said, kissing my neck softly. I don't... My heart hammered in my chest as she pressed herself against me, and the words escaped my lips before I knew what I was saying. "I-I love you..." She pulled back then and looked deeply into my eyes, as if the hollow words of my cold heart melted her soul. "I always knew... Or hoped you did. I love you too. I always have and I always will." Her words stabbed me, but in the same moment, her touch numbed the pain. This is wrong... Who am I? I was not Reed Wolfe. I was not Wesley Blackthorne either. I was nobody. Truly a ghost. So full of hate and regret. But in her arms, I could no longer feel the pain. A quiet moan escaped my lips as I gave in to her, clasping my hand tightly around her throat. "No more talking." I growled, then drew her close and kissed her feverishly. She sighed and wrapped her arms around my neck, as if she had been waiting for this moment her whole life.
