She hates him. She wants him. She can't have him.
Linda Blake is the BAU's newest profiler - brilliant, sharp, and carrying more scars than anyone knows. She doesn't trust easily, and she definitely doesn't trust her new Unit Chief.
Aaron Hotchner is cold, demanding, and impossibly controlled. He questions everything she does, pushes her to her limits, and refuses to let her hide behind her masks. They clash constantly. They drive each other insane.
But somewhere between the arguments and the stolen glances, the hatred blurs into something else-something neither of them can admit, something that could destroy everything they've both worked for.
Because a relationship between them is impossible. It would compromise their careers, their team, their carefully constructed lives. So they keep it secret. They hide it from the people who know them best. They tell themselves it's nothing - even as it becomes everything.
The Mockingbird is a slow-burn, semi-enemies-to-lovers story about two people who can't stand each other - until they can't stay away.

And If I Fall, Let Me Part II: After The Rain - A. Hotchner x OC & Jemily
"We need someone who can talk to these people. Someone who is authorized to speak to diplomats." He had a general idea of what the older men would say next. Looking up with raised eyebrows, Hotch waited. A smirk spread over Dave's face. "Why don't you just call your girlfriend?" he asked, taking another sip of his cappuccino. Rolling his eyes, Hotch exhaled slowly. He had guessed correctly. "She is not my girlfriend," he gave back weakly. The tables have turned, and now it's up to Alexandria Evans to assist the BAU on an active case. What happens when they fly out to New York together? Emotions crash, nerves are tense and Unsubs hopefully get caught. This is part 2 of the series „And If I Fall, Let Me." - reading the first part „At Your Service" is advisable!

Classified light- a criminal minds fan fiction
Layers of secrets, untold pain, hidden glances- Two stranger, two different people. Could someone so cold let someone with such light in? ---- "I'm sorry I didn't know there was a dress code. My old unit and team didn't really do that" Cameron lied awkwardly to the stern, unreadable man who stood with only a slightly raised eyebrow on his face in front of her. Cameron Johnson didn't have an 'old unit' or a team. In fact, Cameron Johnson wasn't an agent at all. She had no idea what the BAU was, no idea what being an agent was, no idea of any of this 'new job' of hers. Cameron Johnson' wasn't even her real name. ----------- Another one?! Hiya! Here's the start of something I've been working on in the background of finishing off 'Cruel- an enemies to lover criminal minds fic.' I hope you like this one, it's got secrets, twists and turns, plenty of yearning and a sweet, clueless protagonist who has no idea what's going on but a closet full of secrets she intends to keep hidden for her safety. (This doesn't really follow the shows timeline or a specific timeline, just a lil mix up of my fave parts to make its sort of it's own thing I guess??) TW at the top of chapters, if I miss putting one or something does trigger you and you think I should warn others or take it out please just let me know but general TW for quite dark themes like the show :)
