"You're not supposed to earn love, Cait."
"Well, neither are you, Aaron."
°•°•°
After Haley's death, Aaron believed he was never supposed to find love again. Finding and losing Beth seemed to only prove that theory.
Caitlin had given up on the idea of love before it ever had a chance to prove itself to her. Her long list of situationships that never became more proved that theory.
But when Cait's best friend joins the BAU, and an opportune meeting takes place during an inter-unit case, they both feel the foundations of their own beliefs shift.
Cait starts to think that maybe just because she came from a broken family, doesn't mean that she can't find her own whole one. And Aaron starts to think that maybe, just maybe, there might be something left in him to give to someone else.

Crying Lighting (Hotch x Reader)// ✔
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.

And you're different: elegant, eloquent and all sharp edges now well-rounded and polished. And married to a billionaire.

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. 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.

I Loved You Blindly [Complete]
'Accidents happen'. That's what people say. Yet, some accidents take away from us more than others. Ethan had it all. Everything was lined up in front of him. Popularity, looks, friends, a hot girlfriend and a promised future in football. In one incident that resulted in a horrible accident, he lost it all. The best friend, the girlfriend, the planned future and his sight. Fighting through darkness and depression, he built high walls that kept everyone out. Skye suffered loss too, but she kept strong for the sake of her little brother, Matt. With her aunt and brother, leaving home and moving to a new place seemed like the perfect solution. A new start that they all needed. Skye's plan was to blend in and keep to herself. Well, not the easiest task when it was obvious as daylight that you were the new girl at school. Especially when she, literally, bumped into Ethan. For Ethan who has been isolating himself and absolutely independent that he pushed everyone away, and Skye being stubborn and not in-the-least shy on saying what she thought openly, fighting and bickering was unpreventable. Skye saw through the walls that Ethan has built around himself. Drawn to him, slowly, their friendship started to turn into something else.

Say It (Hotch x Reader)// ✔
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!*Complete

Shadows & Sunlight
Rain Jones has mastered the art of pretending. A smile here, a laugh there-little tricks to keep people from looking too closely. But Jack Hotchner looks. And then, so does his father. Aaron Hotchner doesn't believe in coincidences. Not when Jack keeps mentioning how Rain "doesn't feel good" or how she "cries when she thinks no one's watching." Not when she flinches at sudden movements or when she brushes off injuries with too-easy excuses. He's spent his career reading people, and now, he can't unsee the truth written all over Rain's face. So he asks. Gently, carefully. And when she hesitates-when her breath hitches, when her fingers tighten around the hem of her sleeve-he knows. She's in danger. And he won't let her face it alone. When her past comes crashing back, when threats turn into action, the BAU will stand beside her. But it's Hotch who stands in front of her, a silent promise in his eyes: She's his to protect now.
