The Salt and the Sea (King! Hotch x Reader) // ✔
King Hotchner has never noticed you before, but you have him. Handsome body, beautiful face - he'd only grown rugged, and tougher when he became a King too soon. He'd become more severe, more robust, and larger than the skinny prince who could wreak havoc with only a dimpled smile. That youthful playfulness and heart on his sleeve eventually made place for the authority he wears on his face, and the coldness he bears through his façade. He stands before you, all of those lost features reappearing, meshed together with who is now, and smiling - teasing you. === "Curious", King Hotchner mutters slowly, as if speaking to himself, "I do not believe I would forget a face like yours had I seen you before." Your knees wobble, air parting from your lungs. He raises his chin, hands clasped behind his back as he peers down at you with amusement.

Wasteland (Hotch X Reader) // ✔
A case in New York brings you back to confront and forces you to work alongside a childhood friend - Aaron Hotchner. A long time ago, your life was alongside the Hotchners. You grew up with your best friend, Sean, and learned to coexist next to his brother - an expert at ignoring you. Your relationship with him was tumultuous at best. Complicated at worst. It only got worse as the years went by. However, encouraged by your respective superiors to collaborate, you try to learn ways to work together amicably, without bringing out the painful past. The more you get to know this new version of Hotch, the more feelings arise: new and old ones are sparked to life. All while reminiscing on old memories. Maybe, what you're both doomed to become is not dissimilar to the remaining wasteland of the bombs you're investigating. (Elevator pitch: As his brother's best friend, you and Hotch grew up together, but a fall out causes you both to hate one another, only to be reunited years later for a case in NYC. ) childhood friends to enemies to lovers!
