How I go to sleep after watching five Criminal Minds episodes in a row in which people were brutally murdered because all I was focused on was how handsome Hotch looked in his FBI vest and what it would be like to kiss him so I have new footage for my daydreams:

Meeting You Flipped the World Upside Down - Or Maybe Just Mine

This is it guys, I’m really proud in general of myself for finishing this and I hope you all enjoyed it as well. When I started this fic I honestly planned for a major character death or something dramatic like that. Never in my wildest dreams did I see this ending. I’m not mad though, I’ve had a rough time lately and this really summed up a lot of my feelings. There are people who will never truly leave your life and that's okay. You just shouldn’t let the thought of them hold you back. This has been my favorite thing to write ever and I want to thank everyone who has supported this and made me feel so good about my writing. I did leave this open ended if I ever did want to continue it but I think I want to write something a bit lighter next. I really hope you all enjoyed this as much as I have and remember to stay safe and drink some water today - Mya

Summary: Reader has been a rut, stuck in a never ending cycle of college worries and job interviews. Never did she think that SSA Aaron Hotchner, or Agent as she likes to call him, would walk into her favorite late night diner and flip her world upside down. And he for sure didn’t expect to fall in love so quickly with the soon to be college grad. They navigate finding love and working together to rediscover what that means for each of them.

Epilogue

Aaron Hotchner did flip your world upside down. Maybe just not in the way you expected. But in the way you needed. You watched your children chase their father around the backyard. It was nearly below freezing but they were going strong. You made hot chocolate for their impending arrival inside. In the meantime you curled up on the couch with a warm blanket and watched the fire burn. The Christmas tree was lit nicely in the corner of the living room, an abundance of presents spilling out. 

You pulled out your phone and scrolled through some old pictures. Baby pictures of your three children. Your wedding, it was a fall wedding. More than you could have ever dreamed of. You also looked at your college graduation pictures. Emily, JJ, and Penelope had surprised you and showed up to commencement. Screaming when you walked across the stage. You should call them soon. Finally, you found the picture you were looking for, you and Aaron at one of Dave’s dinners. It was a candid that Morgan took when you weren’t paying attention. Aaron has his arm around you while you’re talking to JJ about god knows what. It’s your favorite picture, beyond a shadow of a doubt. He looked at you like you were the only person in the room, you chose to remember nights that those. He changed you for the better, it was only fair you acknowledged that. 

Your thoughts were interrupted when your husband and kids ran inside from the cold. 

“There’s hot chocolate on the stove waiting for you monsters!” You yelled to them as they rushed to change into warmer clothes. 

When they had all settled and had their mugs of hot chocolate, your husband joined you on the couch. Soon followed by your children, two girls and one boy. They quickly turned on a pixar movie and snuggled up to you underneath several blankets. There was nothing you would change about your life. This was exactly where you were meant to be. 

By the time the credits rolled to Monsters University all three of them had fallen asleep. You carefully tucked in your youngest daughter, Greer. She was about to turn 2 in the spring. Your surprise baby. You couldn’t have been happier when you found out. Sure the stress of raising three kids got to you sometimes but they reminded you of all the good in the world. 

Next was Cheyenne, named after where you met your husband, Noah. You were travelling around the west and made a pit stop in Cheyenne and met the man you were meant to spend forever with. You couldn’t think of a better name for your first daughter, Noah couldn’t have agreed more. She embodied everything good about your husband, his compassion for sure. She was smarter than you by a long shot at just 8 years old. 

Finally you came to your oldests room. He had been a welcome surprise just a few months after your wedding. Your not so little boy mirrored you in a way you never thought possible. It scared you at first, everything about being a parent is scary sure, but nobody prepares you for raising your twin. He had your hair and eyes, Noah’s nose, but everything about him was you. His ambition never failed to wow you, he pushed himself to lengths you truly couldn’t believe sometimes. He however, did inherit some of your bad genes though. Sometimes he didn’t know when to stop, when to slow down and enjoy the present. You got better at that with age, you want him to achieve everything he puts his mind to but you need him to see when it’s happening. Not when it’s happened. 

You reached down and pushed some of his hair from his face so you could kiss his forehead. 

“Goodnight my sweet boy,” you whispered and he snuggled further into his blankets. You smiled softly and walked out quietly. He was already 12, sometimes you couldn't believe that you made it this far. You grew as you moved farther away, you knew that your life belonged out here. Sometimes it’s hard to trust fate but how could you justify meeting Noah and creating your dream life in your new favorite spot in America without believing at least a little bit in fate. 

You softly closed your little boy's door and ran your hand over the nameplate crested in the center of the door, Aaron, written in hues of blue. 

As you cuddled with your husband while he slowly fell asleep, you reached for your phone and scrolled through an album made just for you and Aaron. Noah may be your future, but Supervisory Special Agent Aaron Hotchner was the love of your life and you forever had a part of him. 

You pulled up his contact for the first time in 18 years and sent him the photo from that dinner at Dave’s a lifetime ago. You wrote a short message, 

I forgive you Agent - Y/N

The last thing you expected was a response, especially so quickly. It was a picture that you had posted on social media a few weeks prior, celebrating your 13th wedding anniversary. 

I’m happy you found better. What are their names? - Agent

My youngest is Greer, then Cheyenne. - Y/N

You wait a few minutes to respond, you know he read the message prior.

He’s named after the love of my life Aaron - Y/N

He called you then. You moved quickly and quietly from your bed and down into your living room. Answering before the line went dead. 

“You were the love of my life too Y/N. I just didn’t know it.”

There you sat, where just hours ago you were wrapped in blankets with your family, you were now transported to your life with Aaron. Staring into the fire with tears in your eyes. 

“It wouldn’t have mattered, Aaron, sometimes finding the love of your life doesn't mean spending the rest of your life with them. It means loving them for the rest of your life, even if that means watching them love someone else.” 

You could hear him sigh on the other end of the line, “I never stopped loving you. I won’t ever stop loving you Y/N.” 

“I will always love you too Aaron. I think I’m happier now than I ever was with you though. JJ told me you got remarried Agent. Congratulations. I’m sure she's perfect for you.”

“Yeah, pretty much. Her name is Beth, Jack loves her too.”

“I miss him. I’m happy he has someone again. You deserve to be happy Aaron. I forgave you days after. Hell hours even. But I knew that we both needed someone who understood us better. We both deserved that.” 

Just then you heard a door creak and the sound of feet pattering towards you, “mama,” Aaron’s voice squeaked out. 

“Right here, baby. What's wrong?”

“I heard you talking and wanted to talk with you too.” You laughed a little before putting your phone on speaker and introducing your son to Aaron. 

“Well alright, but I think you might need to know his name before you talk to him.” Aaron caught your drift, introducing himself through the phone. 

“Hi Aaron, I’ve heard all about you. My name is Aaron too and there is nothing I want more than to talk to you.”

Your little boy perked up at the idea that this man had the same name as him, Aaron was a good sport and talked to him for about 20 minutes before your boy was yawning between every word. 

“Say goodnight to Aaron buddy,” he murmured out a small goodnight and was helped back into bed. 

“He reminds me of you, I’m sure you know that already.”

“Everyone calls him my clone. Maybe it’s wishful thinking but sometimes I look into his eyes and swear I see you looking back at me Aaron. He’s how I imagined our children would turn out. Perfect in every single way.”

“Your husband is very lucky to have you Y/N. I’ll envy him until the end of time.”

You sensed this was the end of the conversation, you subconsciously wanted to never stop talking to him. That part of you that would always yearn for his comfort when you were breaking down in the bathroom or when you were so over the moon about something at work. You wanted to share those moments with him first. I guess some part of you always would. 

“I love you Aaron.”

“I love you too Y/N, goodnight”

“Goodnight Agent.”

Meeting You Flipped the World Upside Down - Or Maybe Just Mine

Here is Chapter 10, since this is short I’m going to post the epilogue right after this for y’all. Not everyone gets their happy ending. I know some of the hate other creators have gotten for leaving a story “unfinished” but I think this just proves that making the right decision for you shouldn’t weigh down on you. You deserve everything you earn and nobody should be able to strip you of that. 

Summary: Reader has been a rut, stuck in a never ending cycle of college worries and job interviews. Never did she think that SSA Aaron Hotchner, or Agent as she likes to call him, would walk into her favorite late night diner and flip her world upside down. And he for sure didn’t expect to fall in love so quickly with the soon to be college grad. They navigate finding love and working together to rediscover what that means for each of them.

Cruel Jokes

You lived in a repetitive cycle again. Trapped in an endless spin on despair, you poured all of your emotions into your finals before driving back to Virginia for the holidays. All you wanted was some relaxation before your last semester. Your parents didn’t push when it came to Aaron, they knew that you broke up. Nothing more. It wasn’t something you were willing to come to terms with yet. 

Aaron was having a similar experience. He went back to his drill sergeant ways. Making the members of the BAU resent him near the holidays. Dave tried to broach the subject but was met with a hostile Aaron. He wasn’t himself anymore. 

The girls would text you occasionally trying to schedule a girls night since they knew you’d be back in town. You weren’t going to say yes but you figured it was wrong to ice them just because Aaron was an ass. No. Ass was too nice a word. You’d have to think of something more appropriate one of these days. 

The girls decided on a bar near Quantico and would end the night back at Emily’s flat for a movie and wine night. When you arrived you were met with cheers and plied with alcohol before you even sat down. 

“To Y/N being one semester from graduating!” Penelope yelled and all four of you clinked your shot glasses before downing them quickly. If Penelope was good at something, it was getting you plastered without trying. You were two shots and a martini in when you started to feel dizzy. The girls had dragged you to the dance floor, you wandered away from them and asked the bartender for some water before sitting back down at your booth. You just wanted to get the hell out of here soon or you’d be sick in the club bathroom. You weren’t sure you wanted to relive a few months ago. As if they could read your mind, the three of them hoisted you up and loaded you into a taxi and were heading to Emily’s. 

You sobered up pretty quickly from there, the girls drank wine around the TV while you nursed several bottles of water. Calm conversation turned into truth or dare at some point and you weren’t in the right mind to say no. It shouldn’t have come as a surprise when they asked about Aaron. He was their boss, of course they knew something was up. 

“Soooooo, Y/N. What happened with you and boss man? He's been more uptight than usual.” JJ was the first one to mention it. You really thought it would have been Pen or Emily.

“We broke up when I came down for Halloween. I took a job in Montana and he didn’t take it well. I didn’t want to hold myself back. There’s nothing more to it.” 

It got quiet real quick. Not for long though, you were swarmed with more questions from Penelope, apologies from JJ, and congratulations from Emily. 

“It was the right choice for me. It sucked but at least it happened when it did instead of later. I love him but I won’t do anything to jeopardize my future. If I asked him to leave the BAU I know he wouldn’t, I wasn’t going to make him choose.” That was true, it was exactly what you wanted to tell him that night before he belittled you. Made you feel like his property. The girls didn’t need to know the truth. You may hate him at the moment but you weren’t going to turn his subordinates against him. You’re sure he’d do that by himself, he didn’t need help. 

“If it’s any consultation, we’re all really happy for you Y/N.” JJ came up to you and wrapped you in a hug. You just wanted to drop dead honestly. This was the most you talked about him in a long time. The words he said to you rang in your head, how could you still love him after that? It was irrational. You must’ve started actually crying because when you opened your eyes Emily and Penelope had joined the hug. 

You awkwardly laughed and wiped your tears. “I’m sorry. I guess I haven’t really said any of that out loud since it happened. Fuck. I just wanted him to be happy for me, I wasn’t even sure I was going to take it. I was waiting for more offers closer to him. To you guys. I wanted to gauge how he felt about it. He didn’t even give me a chance to explain.” 

The girls went quiet again, you excused yourself to the bathroom to change your clothes. You looked in the mirror and wiped your remaining make-up off and made your way back into the living room. The girls were back to watching the movie and had made popcorn. You sat on the floor, leaning up against the couch, and tuned into the movie that just started playing. The world must’ve been playing a sick joke when Humphry Bogart appeared on screen. Casablanca. Ilsa made the safe choice. So were you.

👀👀👀

not me wearing my quarter-zip this morning. quarter-zip hotch is my favorite hotch

kiley!! i had a soft hotch thought and it’s been a while since i’ve popped by and said hello so i figured i’d share it with you ❤️

so i’m sitting in the silent study room in the library on campus and i’m wearing my quarter zip sweater and it made me thinking of wearing hotch’s clothes to school/class. like stealing his old sweatshirts, or styling a dress shirt with one of your outfits or even one of his famous comfy quarterzips on the cold days

and he definitely notices it but doesn’t say much about it until it becomes a very regular occurrence and it comes out in a very playful “isn’t our walk-in full of your clothes?” and you just shrug and say “yeah, it is but your stuff is more comfy,” and he just laughs a little and scoops you up in his arms saying you can steal his clothes any time you want

hi, mimi!!! ❤️❤️❤️I can't wait for quarter-zip weather here so I can wear mine.

Oh my gosh!! I love, love, love this!! He would so say something like, "you look better in it anyway." His clothes would be so comfy and smell like him.

Imagine you don't even realize it and wear a sweater or something of his to work one day, and the team catches on right away, haha.
