Mercedes "MJ" Johnson grew up unseen - the only white girl in a tough Chicago neighborhood, trapped in a violent home and carrying bruises no one asked about. But Derek Morgan saw her. Protected her. Fed her when her own house was empty. He was her best friend, her shelter, and the first boy to ever make her feel safe.

Years later, they reunite at the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit. She's not the broken girl he once knew - she's quiet, brilliant, and tougher than she lets on. But Derek still looks at her like she's something worth protecting, and MJ still feels safest in his orbit.

Their bond runs deep - forged in childhood, sharpened by time. But what once was innocent has turned into something slower, heavier, and harder to ignore. With every case, every look, every late-night conversation, their connection deepens into something they never dared to name.

Because love like theirs doesn't burn fast - it lingers, waits, and grows quietly in the spaces between survival and healing.

After High Series # 1: Do You Swear? by beeyotch

(After High Series # 1) Saffron Rose Borromeo appears to have it all-top grades, family connections, and a guaranteed future in law. But appearances can be deceiving. Maximiliano Jose Delgado is her academic equal and complete opposite. Brilliant, intense, and fiercely independent, he seems to see right through her polished facade-and he clearly doesn't like what he sees. From their first day at the SCA- College of Law, they're locked in a rivalry that goes beyond textbooks and test scores. It's personal. It's consuming. And neither understands why the other brings out such strong reactions. But when good intentions collide with wounded pride, their carefully constructed worlds begin to crumble. Some secrets destroy trust. Some lies are meant to help. And sometimes, the person you're trying to save is the last person who wants your rescue.

Inside, everything narrowed. Pressure. Gauze. Hands. Bleeding. IVs. BP still low. He was fighting to stay conscious, and Aspen crouched down close enough for him to hear her over the noise. "You're going to be fine. Just stay with me, Agent." He blinked. "Hotchner. Aaron Hotchner." She nodded, already halfway through a mental checklist. "Nice to meet you, Agent Hotchner. Try not to die before we get your name in the chart." or Dr. Aspen Wynter is a trauma surgeon and Agent Aaron Hotchner happens to be involved in many traumas.

The Quiet between Us (OC x David Rossi) by -StarryNightSky-

She helps children find their voices. He's spent years silencing his heart. When a case brings FBI profiler David Rossi and speech therapist Ellie Hart together, it isn't sparks that fly, it's silence. A gentle, aching kind of stillness neither of them has felt in years. She's 28. He's in his late 50s. She quotes books. He writes them. She's light. He's lived in shadow. But something in the quiet between them feels like belonging. This isn't a whirlwind. It's a slow, soul-deep burn. A story about timing, trust, healing... and the kind of love that changes everything without saying a word. 'Sometimes the loudest thing between two people... is the quiet.'
