ANNOUNCEMENT: I wrote this in middle school. It is bad, and I know that. I am so sorry to those of you that read it (I can't even bare to read it myself) 😭. If you do read it, I hope the cringe is...entertaining? It is not technically "complete" and I have no intention of ever rounding the story out, for that I am sorry. Thank you (as of June 2025)!
JJ and Emily have always had their secrets, and even though they are best friends, they have some from each other. When they are called to New Orleans to assist with a series of hate crimes, JJ has to face the detective who will never stop hitting on her. In an effort to deflect him, she had to pretend to love someone else, and that person was Emily. After Hotch orders Emily and JJ to go undercover to help catch the unsub, they both start to wonder if their pretend actions were more than pretend, and if their relationship is more that just a friendship.

My Protector [Jennifer Jareau x Reader]
Y/N has been with the BAU for two years and has always had a secret crush on JJ. Who knew that the feeling was mutual.

Crush
Emily has spent her entire life moving from country to country. No friends, no personal life, and not a care in the world. Her days are spent hotboxing the bathroom and disappointing her mother. The only thing keeping her on the somewhat "straight" and narrow is her crush. JJ is George Washington High's IT girl. Captain of the girl's soccer team, jock boyfriend, and straight A's. Both girls are well known throughout their school. One for being the hot, new girl, the other for being a perfect princess. What does highschool hold for Jemily? This story follows Emily Prentiss (who no one knows much about other than rumors spread by classmates) and Jennifer (JJ) Jareau (the cute, cool girl with who everyone wants to be friends) as they find their way through high school and adolescence. That makes it sound serious... it's not... it's just Jemily in high school. This is a continuation of 'Meet Me in the Bathroom', a chapter from my 'Jemily One Shots', so if you haven't read that yet you should. Both are written like Emily is telling a story. It will include smut (but I don't get graphic), cursing, and will not be a super continuous story (more broken up but still connected).Complete

Jemily or just Emily?
⚠️PLEASE READ⚠️ PSA: I was in 8th grade when I wrote this and I believe it is very poorly done. Go ahead and read. I don't have the patience to rewrite. I have heard from several comments that it is funny so that is something to look forward to. MAJOR TRIGGER WARNINGS: I know there are several mentions etc of self harm. I believe there is also mention of sexual assault and the R word. There may also be mentions of EDs but I don't recall as I haven't read this story in years. I'm sorry, I fr don't know why I wrote such wild triggering stuff then let a bunch of other people read it. Also, the way I write the characters in this is pretty unrealistic. I just didn't understand the depth of people in 8th grade and I def didn't know how to write it. --- Emily realizes she has feelings for JJ, but does JJ Love her back?

Mean Something (Jemily)
"JJ this isn't forever, I promise I'll be back." JJ nodded letting off a small sniffle "I know Em, it just sucks." I reached over and grabbed her hand "Listen, not even oceans can keep us apart. If you need me- I'm back. Just say the word and I'll be here before you know it blackbird." -- Authors Notes: There will be mentions of mental health, self harm, infidelity, death, and overall some situations that may make certain readers uncomfortable, so please tread with caution. Your health is much more important than a view on my chapter. I'll put warnings on more intense chapters, but know some issues may be mentioned casually throughout the story. I also tried to write this as if we were witnessing JJ and Emily's relationship grow on the show, I wanted it to be realistic so sorry in advance if It's long, I'll update as much as possible. If you're enjoying the story please leave a like or a comment, it's my first time ever publishing my work and any feed back is greatly appreciated.Complete
