"Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated," ~Confucius
-----
Cassidy Quinn joined the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit three years ago in 2002 after leaving her hometown of Honolulu behind and moving to the East Coast. Cassie needed a change, especially with a past like hers, so becoming a profiler at the BAU and hunting down some of the worst criminals mankind had to offer gave her both a respite and a purpose.
But partnering with former Chicago cop/ATF agent Derek Morgan since the very first day she joined the unit, Agent Quinn wonders if she might've bitten off more than she can chew. The Bureau frowns upon inter-team relationships, and Cassie has worked too hard to get where she is to let a man unknowingly threaten her career.
Her heart is not as stubborn as her brain, though, and that, in and of itself, is the entire problem.

"Why didn't you wait for backup?" He yelled. "I didn't want him to get away." I said, walking further into the room. "You disobeyed my direct order." He said, still yelling. "Would you have rather me let him get away?" I said, getting louder. Not quite as loud as him. "You could have been shot." He said, still yelling. He took a step closer to me. "I know." "You could have been killed." He said, softer. "I know." I said, almost a whisper. "Your insubordination could have ended in death Catherine." He yelled inches away from my face. "I know." I said, getting louder. "I don't know how you could be so careless." He said, continuing to yell. "I'm sorry." "You're sorry?" He said, yelling. He put his thumb and middle finger on the bridge of his nose. "Hotch, I-" his lips came crashing onto mine.Complete![PSYCHOPATHY; criminal minds [S.

Half of Her Heart ~ A Derek Morgan Fanfic
Mercedes "MJ" Johnson grew up unseen - the only white girl in a tough Chicago neighborhood, trapped in a violent home and carrying bruises no one asked about. But Derek Morgan saw her. Protected her. Fed her when her own house was empty. He was her best friend, her shelter, and the first boy to ever make her feel safe. Years later, they reunite at the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit. She's not the broken girl he once knew - she's quiet, brilliant, and tougher than she lets on. But Derek still looks at her like she's something worth protecting, and MJ still feels safest in his orbit. Their bond runs deep - forged in childhood, sharpened by time. But what once was innocent has turned into something slower, heavier, and harder to ignore. With every case, every look, every late-night conversation, their connection deepens into something they never dared to name. Because love like theirs doesn't burn fast - it lingers, waits, and grows quietly in the spaces between survival and healing.
