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!

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."
