JJ never imagined her carefully constructed life would be shaken by someone like Emily Prentiss. Polar opposites in every way-JJ with her blue-collar roots and steadfast sense of duty, Emily with her silver-spoon upbringing and enigmatic charm-they're thrown together in the high-stakes world of the BAU.
As they navigate the pressures of their work, unresolved pasts, and the complexities of the human heart, JJ finds herself questioning everything she thought she knew about love, identity, and belonging.
In a world where the lines between personal and professional blur, can two people so different find common ground-and maybe something more?
A slow-burn, slice-of-life romance that unfolds through cases, quiet moments, and the bonds of a chosen family.

Mean Something (Jemily)
"JJ this isn't forever, I promise I'll be back." JJ nodded letting off a small sniffle "I know Em, it just sucks." I reached over and grabbed her hand "Listen, not even oceans can keep us apart. If you need me- I'm back. Just say the word and I'll be here before you know it blackbird." -- Authors Notes: There will be mentions of mental health, self harm, infidelity, death, and overall some situations that may make certain readers uncomfortable, so please tread with caution. Your health is much more important than a view on my chapter. I'll put warnings on more intense chapters, but know some issues may be mentioned casually throughout the story. I also tried to write this as if we were witnessing JJ and Emily's relationship grow on the show, I wanted it to be realistic so sorry in advance if It's long, I'll update as much as possible. If you're enjoying the story please leave a like or a comment, it's my first time ever publishing my work and any feed back is greatly appreciated.Complete
