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.
