WIP Excerpt - Aaron Hotchner x teen!reader

I thought I would share just a little snippet of a project I'm working on. It's a series about Aaron meeting a teenager on a case who ends up being involved, and there's just something so familiar about her...

Reader does use she/her pronouns.

Everyone had that one touchy subject that seemed to bring back memories of events and cases past. Everyone knew that J.J. was the one who was affected by cases involving children. 

But this time it was Hotch who felt his chest restrict with each new fact presented. With every body found the pressure of solving this case felt ten times heavier on his shoulders.

On his nightstand, the alarm clock’s neon blue numbers read 3:22 A.M. He was pacing around the hotel room, mind racing a mile a minute. The facts and theories of the case were incredibly confusing. Everytime the team got close, something drastic changed and they were at square one.

Four young, innocent girls were dead, and a fifth was going to be soon if they didn’t shape up.

Hotch glanced out the window of the third story room to see a small diner in the plaza across the street. On its left there was a tobacco store with big yellow block lettering covering the window pains with advertisements promoting vapes and discounted cartons of Mavericks. To its right there was a laundromat, with a few letters of the sign tilted from rusted out nails crumbling away instead of holding it fast. The glowing blue and pink sign on the diner read “open 24 hours”, though it flickered out every few seconds. Glancing at the clock on the wall, he sighed.

Nothing was getting done in this small room, and the diner would have coffee. He had heard before the coffee from 24 hour diners was always better. He doubted that to be true, but at least it would be caffeinated. 

He grabbed the coat off of the chair in the corner of the room, and quietly left, locking the door behind him.

It was a short walk across the street. He pushed open the door, and a bell jingled.

Soft sounds of 70’s music filled his ears. His eyes found a pastel yellow and mint green jukebox in the corner. It was your typical retro themed diner. Checkerboard flooring, blue and pink booths and tables, milkshake decals on the wall, and a long bar that a waitress was cleaning with a rag. With the typical 50’s decorations and colors, but 70’s music playing and newspapers from the 80’s on the wall, the establishment seemed to lack a general knowledge on what decade it was supposed to be emulating. Nonetheless, there was a pot of coffee sitting behind the counter, and it wasn’t like this was the strangest 3 A.m. experience he had ever had. 

Hotch looked away and sat at the counter, waiting patiently for the waitress to meander her way over to him. She finished wiping down the section of counter she had been working on and dropped the rag in a basket beneath the counter. Finally, she looked over at him.

20-24 year old girl, medium build, round face, brown eyes, umber skin, and dark black waves of hair. She shouldn’t be working alone at night, he thought. Not with a killer on the loose.

“What can I get for you?” She asked, all but rolling her eyes. Her name tag said “Marisa”. 

“Just a coffee please.” He said quietly.

“Black?”

He nodded.

As she went across the room to fill up a mug, he took a moment to revel in the peace he rarely got to feel while on a case.

The soft lighting and low music was almost comforting, in an odd way. He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

Marisa set the mug of steaming coffee in front of him. “Just brewed a new pot, so you’re lucky.”

“Thanks-”

The jingling of the door interrupted him. 

“Marisa, darling!” A feminine voice cooed. 

The waitress had a look of annoyance flash across her face before she quickly covered and plastered on a smile.

“Julie, welcome in. Go ahead and take your usual booth. I’ll get you a coffee and… I’m so sorry sweetheart, what’s your name again?”

“Y/N. I’ll have orange juice, please.” 

At the mention of her name Hotch looked over his shoulder. Y/N was dressed in a pair of plaid pajama pants and an oversized hoodie. Her shoulders were hunched and as she sat down in the both, she immediately curled into the corner, like it was supporting her. Dark circles hung under her eyes and as he watched, she put a hand up to her mouth to hide a yawn.

It was early Thursday morning. And unless there was something going on that he didn’t know about, she had school in four hours. What was she doing up?

Hi sweetie ❤️ hope you're doing well in your life journey. So i was just wondering if you will ever start writing for this👉

https://www.tumblr.com/thescribblesofreverie/713901778541871105/wip-excerpt-aaron-hotchner-x-teenreader?source=share

ABSOLUTELY NO PRESSURE AND I DON'T WANT TO MAKE YOU UNCOMFORTABLE. It might be just a prompt you wrote and i misunderstood everything but it really sounded interesting soo.... Im sorry again if i annoyed you and have a nice day💖

Hi there! I appreciate you reaching out and checking in. You're not annoying at all!

The plan is to eventually write a small series surrounding that idea. I'm thinking about 8 to 10 parts. I wanted to be well into the series at this point of the summer, but life threw a few curve balls. Work has been hectic, I'm now preparing for two moves, and I have so many other projects to work on.

All that to say that yes, I am planning on writing that series. But it may take a while. I can make no promises of when it will be released.

Again, thank you so much for your interest! I've been so overjoyed to see the interest in that particular WIP, and I hope I am able to deliver!

Who I Write For

My requests are open!

I reserve the right to refuse any request for any reason. Also, it will take time for me to get fics out, even short ones. I am a full-time college student and I work part time, so my free time is pretty nonexistent.

Criminal Minds

All family or platonic at the moment.

Aaron Hotchner

Spencer Reid

Derek Morgan

David Rossi

(JJ) Jeniffer Jaureu

Penelope Garcia

Emily Prentiss

I tend to prefer daughter or sister readers, but any relationship is fair game. I will only write female readers as of right now.

[thescribblesofreverie]

Hi lovelies!

I am working on all requests sent in this weekend, however it may take me a minute to post. I work and go to college so life is hectic and unfortunately writing can't always be a priority. I can't wait to share these fics with y'all and I hope you enjoy them!

[thescribblesofreverie]

Thank you all so much for the support on my first fix! I appreciate it all so much!

Hopefully I'll have a new fic out later this week.
