Natalie waited for him. Ten years of unspoken love, quiet devotion, and heartbreak he never meant to cause.
Now that she's gone, he's finally listening. But love doesn't wait forever. And some echoes fade before they find their way home.
Calvin is haunted by everything he missed. The look in her eyes. The love in her silence. The years she gave him without asking for anything in return.
He wants her back not as a friend, not as a safety net, but as the woman he now realizes he's always loved.
But the girl who waited isn't the woman standing in front of him now. And love, once overlooked, doesn't come back without a cost.
----
The Echo of Her Waiting is a bittersweet, healing love story about timing, forgiveness, and the quiet power of a heart that never stopped hoping-even when it stopped waiting.

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

From childhood scrapes to teenage triumphs, they were an inseparable force, their bond so deeply woven into the fabric of their familie's lives that no one ever imagined a world where they wouldn't stand side-by-side. But beneath the easy banter and shared history, a dangerous secret festers: for years, one of them has harbored a silent, consuming unrequited love for the other-a fragile, secret vow never to confess, terrified that the truth would shatter their perfect, protective dynamic.

As one recovers from the brink of oblivion, the boundary between nightmare and reality dissolves, threatening to expose the hidden feelings and forgotten promises. What follows is a tangled web of dark secrets, complex betrayals, and devastating plot twists. As they navigate escalating external dangers and the internal battlefield of their own hearts, their past choices collide with the present.
