Shadows & Scars
Amelia "Mia" DeLuca has lived her life in silence. Abandoned as a child, scarred by the people meant to love her, and hardened by years of survival, she's built walls so high that no one has ever scaled them-no one except Emily Prentiss. Together, they shared secrets in ivy-covered halls at Yale, and later, they bled for a classified task force that nearly cost them everything. Now, years later, Mia steps into the Behavioural Analysis Unit. With her fluent Italian, razor-sharp instincts, and an icy facade, she fits seamlessly into the team of profilers who live in shadows. To everyone else, she is unreadable..untouchable. Everyone except him. Unit Chief Aaron Hotchner has mastered control. After loss and betrayal, he has no room left for vulnerability. But something in Mia calls to him: the darkness she hides, the scars she won't show, the fire that breaks through when she slips into Italian. Against every instinct, Hotch finds himself drawn to her. As cases push the BAU to its limits and Mia's past threatens to resurface, two guarded souls will have to choose: keep hiding behind their shadows and scars... or risk everything for the one person who sees them clearly. A story of secrets, trust, and a love that refuses to stay buried.

You're a genius alongside Spencer Reid. It was your one year anniversary with the BAU when you got a case in your home town. A little town in no where Connecticut. What happens when you're up one late night, who joins you outside? ~~~~~ I make a lot of spelling errors so just deal with it. Some parts are based off Gilmore Girls. If you haven't seen it it's fine. My logic doesn't always make sense so don't think to hard about it. Also posted on AO3Complete
