Rory King was the firebrand daughter of a senator. Aaron Hotchner was the overprotective FBI Agent. It has been four years since they last saw each other. Four years since they spent that summer together. Four years since he fell in love with her. But when the summer ended, so did they.
Now, he is the Unit Chief of the BAU, and she is the First Daughter turned prime witness to her mother's murder. With a country in mourning, a killer on the loose, and old wounds reopened, Aaron and Rory must navigate a case that is as personal as it is dangerous. Because some ghosts don't stay buried. And some people, no matter how much time passes, never really let go.

Airing Aaron (HotchxOC)
Before we begin, I should say that this story is a little mix up of the storyline. I know some might not like it, but this is just what I thought would work best for their lives. You guys are the readers, and I would love some feedback from you amazing people. This is the first Aaron Hotchner x OC I have written, and this is going to be in a bit of a different style compared to what typically appears on my page, so I hope you guys enjoy it. It's not actually that different, but I changed my approach to writing, and I actually preferred it. This is an enemies to lovers with a fast and slow burn pace???????? I don't know how else to describe it (mainly because while writing this, I haven't finished it yet). Please be patient with me because I am kinda stupid and make mistakes (thanks, dyslexia), but hopefully you guys are as excited about this as I am (not tough, as I am more nerves than anything else). Also, an obligatory notice of the fact I don't own most of these characters, and this is Criminal Minds, so there are going to be some gory details about death and cases but nothing too dark or sinister (in my humble opinion). There won't be smut per se, but this woman is going to be cheeky from time to time, and this book isn't going to shy away from the topic of sex. That's all; I hope you enjoy this story.Complete

━ 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐃𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐬, Hotchniss
"Her hug was almost unconscious; weak, tender, and cold. Like in her dreams, Emily was too afraid to touch him, to embrace him as she had always wished she could- afraid of him dissolving slowly with her hands still lingering in the air and her desperate fingers trying to grasp any remnants of his fading image, reaching for any particles of him she saw flying away. She knew that feeling well. Countless nightmares camouflaged as mellow dreams had taught her that. But now, he hadn't evaporated from her sight; he wasn't fading away, and she couldn't understand how." Aaron Hotchner was forced to fake his death and leave his pregnant wife and child, how would Emily react to him showing up at the BAU almost one year later?
