What if Hotch never told the SWAT team to cut the power off during Emily's rescue from Doyle? Would she have been able to beat him? What will Emily's life be like if she was never shipped off to Paris?
AU / Canon. I got this idea one day in my head and decided to just go with it. As I'm writing more and more ideas are coming to me. Feedback appreciated!

The Transfer
"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.

Don't let go - Emily Prentiss x Reader
You and Emily met at the BAU when she transferred back from Interpol after Hotch had hired you a few months before. You fit right into the team when you joined, and naturally developed a great friendship with Emily when she returned too. But that friendship quickly developed into a little something more, and although you'd agreed to keep it secret from the rest of the team, it was getting harder to hide how much you cared for each other, especially when one particular case puts you right at the forefront of the team's investigation. This fanfic will revolve around y/n having mental health issues, and whilst the relationship with Emily will play a large part in the storyline, I want to keep it as realistic as possible so y/n's mental health problems will continue throughout. For the purposes of this story, Emily's return from Interpol is the only reason why she's left the BAU, the Ian Doyle storyline has not happened yet. (This story mentions various mental health topics including depression, anxiety, eating disorders (restriction and purging), self-harm and suicide. Please don't read if you think it'll trigger you, and please reach out to someone if you're struggling.) Smut warning - chapters with smut involved will have '*' in the titleComplete

❝ They both looked at each other, eyes floating over each other's faces exploring every little detail almost like they were tattooing this moment into their mind, Emily took a big breath taking in his smell in the process, cherishing it like some kind of souvenir she knew will eventually fade ❞ Aaron and Emily broke up almost a decade ago since then, Emily had finished her mission and Aaron got married and had a child, what would happen when she shows up in his office with the paperwork to join the team? Will old feelings resurface and will they be able to resist? Hotchniss story told through Taylor Swift's songs from their early days to their present starting from their childhood (Seven) to them meeting again when hotch start working for Emily's mother (cowboy like me) and to their present which is them meeting again at the BAU (the 1) all of the songs I'll be using are from folklore and evermore. feel free to give your opinion or correct about any spelling mistakes or misinformation English is not my first language and CM timeline is frustrating:)Complete
