The first time Hotch sees you - young, brazen and violent - it's at an old trailer and he's there with Gideon to question you about your father's whereabouts. Someone who the BAU have pegged as their unsub. 

The second time he sees you - they're back to question the family of an unsub's victim. And you're different: elegant, eloquent and all sharp edges now well-rounded and polished. And married to a billionaire.

The third time it's inside the interrogation room, after they find the corpse of a second man looking eerily similar to your missing husband. 
---
(Elevator pitch: reader may be a serial killer and Hotch is certain you murdered your husband. Chaos and situationships occurr)
----
(this is a slow build - yes they yearn! enemies to fuck buddies to enemies to lovers! - and implied sexual content)
so much murder! so much yearning!

Stars | Aaron Hotchner by ivy_green_author

"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.

$Checkmate {Spencer Reid} by sage_storys$

I promise my writing gets better as the chapters go on, much love-S The BAU gets a new team member as everyone is introduced to Fiona Summers, and Spencer automatically falls for her. Not wanting to get hurt again he shuts her out, but warms up to her when he finds out they may not be too different after all. But things quickly take a turn as he discovers they definitely have one thing in common. An addiction. "It's quiet for a couple minutes as Spencer tries to find his way to the bed in the dark. He eventually comes under the covers and I can see his side profile as the room is slightly lit up from the moonlight coming through the windows. He's beautiful. But he's a real dick. I decided to turn away from him on my side. It's quiet and the air is filled with tension, I hate this. I want to be friends with him, not mortal enemies. I take a deep breathe and put myself out there. "Why are you being like this Spencer?" My voice is so quiet I don't even know if he heard me, it's quiet for a couple minutes and I give up, deciding to try to go to sleep. "I don't know." His voice cuts through the air, "I don't know why I'm being like this Fiona. I usually have all the answers, but when it comes to you, I'm an idiot."

The Story of Us by Jbic02

What if the Spencer Reid that the team knew wasn't the real Spencer Reid? What if there was a Spencer that nobody would even imagine when they looked at him, a Spencer that only came out around one girl? Spencer Reid was a child prodigy who had been bullied his whole life, but what would you expect when you started high school at 8 and graduate at 12. When he got to Caltech he hoped that everything would be better and he had no idea how right he was. His first day of school he met her. The most beautiful girl he had ever seen. The most beautiful girl anyone had ever seen. They quickly become friends and she unlocks a side of him he never would have guessed existed. A side that scared him but exhilarated him all at once and the best part is that she's just as smart as him, maybe even smarter. Spencer can't believe his luck...until it all fell apart. 6 years later he is going on his second year of working for the BAU and had almost forgotten his old friend. Or at least he had convinced himself he had until she waltzes in as the newest member of the BAU on his 24 birthday. Now, Spencer has no idea how to handle seeing the person he had once cared about more than anything who had abandoned him. How will he react? Why did she leave? What exactly happened between the two? And the Story of Us looks a lot like a tragedy now- Taylor Swift This story will begin in Season one and will feature some plot line and cases from the show. It is a slow burn Spencer Reid fic that will be part of a series. This story also will contain some Smut so read at your own discretion.

Wasteland (Hotch X Reader) // ✔ by angelfxll

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!

Say It (Hotch x Reader)// ✔ by angelfxll

As an FBI agent in the Dallas field office, your unit calls for collaboration with the BAU. Years later, a decision is made for you, catapulting you suddenly into that same team - this time as a trainee. Amongst the flurry of cases, new teammates, and the struggle to keep up with the load of work, you start to carve out a new life. And if the man who'd grabbed your attention back then, SSA Aaron Hotchner, happens to slowly become your friend - you welcome it with open arms. Developing feelings for him - less so. This is a slow burn, and title from Maggie Rogers' song :) (Sorry I don't know how to write something that is not about yearning or pining) Image from tumblr user @0420-1102 I do not own Criminal minds, the characters or the story!*

Rom-com Gone Wrong (Hotch x Reader)// ✔ by angelfxll

A case goes wrong when feds are called to assist your investigation, and it's mostly because of you. Instead of avoiding the matter like you usually do, you send an apology email to the calm, collected, ever-serious unit chief, SSA Aaron Hotchner, in hopes you can better understand your mistakes - and how NOT to repeat them. What you don't realize is that sends everything into a wholly different direction, and you realize it too late. A chain of emails starts up between him and the actual person whose email you had been logged on: your fellow, male detective, who you now have to pretend to be. (Elevator pitch: you ask for help from hotch, not knowing you're still signed in from your male coworker's email. You keep up the ruse and neither of u knows what u signed up for) Slowburn! Friends to lovers! And quite a lot of emailin/texting! (Bonus: huge misunderstanding!) IMAGE source: horde-lord on tumblr I do not own Criminal Minds, the characters or the story!*

BLAKE | a. hotchner by couchpotaato

"It's been awhile," I looked at him with a small smile. "What brings you back here? You're not here because you missed me, are you?" I raised my eyebrows and gave him a sly smirk. He didn't answer, clearly he wasn't in the mood to play. "Don't be shy, Agent, I missed you too," I tilted my head to the right, allowing the corners of my mouth to move upwards. He raised one eyebrow, still locked in his silence, still staring at me. I had had enough of his cold demeanor, he was the one who came to me. "Why are you here, Hotchner?" I asked. "It better not be because you have more questions about my father, because I'm not answering any more of those." I moved my head an inch forward, putting my entangled hands on the table, looking at him intently, making sure he understood. "I want you to work for me," the handsome man in the suit finally spoke. - This is a Criminal Minds story. I do not own Criminal Minds.

HOUSE OF CARDS | Spencer Reid by marcidstars

'𝘤𝘢𝘯'𝘵 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧, 𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘭𝘪𝘦.' Spencer prides himself on his ability to detect lies, to spot the tiniest inconsistencies in a person's story - it's the one thing he's always been able to rely on. Which is why he feels such a disdain for the BAU's newest member. Unlike the rest of the team, he isn't fooled by her veneer of normalcy. There's something off about her; a lack of warmth in her smiles, a lack of light behind her eyes... She's hiding something, he knows she is. He just needs to prove it, and her 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 will come crashing down. [ A Spencer Reid x Reader ]

The young genius, Dr. Spencer Reid. IQ of 187, and almost the same PhD degrees as you! And oh, it'd be a lie if you said you didn't like his personality and looks. However, a surprising string of murders involving home invasions stirs up problems for the BAU, it becomes a battle of large proportions. When a group of agents go to surprise the unsub at his house, they fall into a trap... And only one isn't accounted for. Will Reid save the agent in time, or will the unsub win?

The Transfer by JOCYYCREATION

"I know our history Agent Hotchner, and it's been more than a decade we last saw each other. Judging from the photo on your desk, you have moved on, though you both are unhappy in your marriage, especially your wife." "The smile on her face, it was forced, just for this photo. Her eyes were dark. She was staring into blank space. But there's a twitch in the corner of her eyes, she was either angry or trying to take control of her emotion." Prentiss said while holding the photo. "Stop," Hotchner said. "May I say a last word, Sir?" "Yes, you may." "The only person that looks happy in this photo is your son. Please do anything you can to shield him from the darkness of this world." Prentiss said, with a grim expression. --CM-- Emily Prentiss's journey from Doyle's mission to her transfer to the BAU in Quantico. Slight Hotchniss. Follows closely to Criminal Minds original but with a slight twist and own plot-part of the AU: Indestructible. Can be read on its own. Disclaimer: I do not own Criminal Minds.
