━ 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐃𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐬, Hotchniss
"Her hug was almost unconscious; weak, tender, and cold. Like in her dreams, Emily was too afraid to touch him, to embrace him as she had always wished she could- afraid of him dissolving slowly with her hands still lingering in the air and her desperate fingers trying to grasp any remnants of his fading image, reaching for any particles of him she saw flying away. She knew that feeling well. Countless nightmares camouflaged as mellow dreams had taught her that. But now, he hadn't evaporated from her sight; he wasn't fading away, and she couldn't understand how." Aaron Hotchner was forced to fake his death and leave his pregnant wife and child, how would Emily react to him showing up at the BAU almost one year later?
𝐌𝐢𝐦𝐢, (would you ever light up with somebody like me?)
Four years after her mission, Emily decided it was time for a new beginning and moved back to the States to pursue her dream career, with her three-year-old toddler in tow. Navigating motherhood and the unpleasant feelings her new boss unwittingly stirred within her, Emily struggled to hide the enjoyment she felt from the light he brought into her life. And in a precarious situation she was too complacent to recognize, she found herself happy and content. But she would soon discover that she was never fully untethered from her past- no matter where she went or the oceans she crossed, some shadows simply never faded; their grip remained unyielding. Slowly, the wall she had built to protect herself began to crack, its segments fracturing, allowing old ghosts to creep through the gaps and reenter her world.
