Summary
The look between them is one the team would immediately recognise: the certainty, the determination, the acceptance in the face of defeat. It is the look of two people who will set themselves alight, knowing they are going to burn anyway.
A story about love and loss, strength and survival, sacrifices and selflessness. Season 7 AU.

Summary
He is all over her in a heartbeat, crowding her up against the large window and kissing her like she is going to disappear any second. Given their respective pasts in hiding, it is not an impossibility. But they’re not thinking of Scratch or Doyle anymore. No, after a decade of foreplay, there’s only this.
Or, Hotch and Emily reunite in the aftermath of Scratch.

Summary
Why is she here again? What was she doing?
"Turn that... thing down, it's... really loud," she manages to get out, the words tumbling awkwardly, her tongue tripping over itself.
Kid doesn't look away from the TV but raises a single hand in acknowledgment. A wave? A swat? A dismissal? Hard to say.
"Jesus, mom. One sec. Top ten situation here."
She's someone's mom? What happened to her? She forgot her own son?

emily loses her memory for a bit and the dynamics she’s been building with the hotchners are so fam-like that the only explanation her brain can come up with is that hotch is actually her husband and jack is her son.

Summary
Temperature’s dropping faster than her patience, and the wind’s already slapping at her cheeks like a snowman with a serious attitude problem. She glances outside—snow’s coming down hard.
The sheriff catches her eye, frowning. "It ain't letting up."
She fiddles with the turtleneck.
Hotch watches, frowning. His gaze lands squarely on her coat. He gestures at the storm outside.
“Look, it’s ten below. You’re gonna want to leave your pride on the porch and hug me like your prom date, got it?”
She steps forward, squaring her shoulders. "I'm the highest-ranking law enforcement officer for three hundred miles in any direction. Don't tell me what to do."
Hotch’s face doesn't change much, just a slight lift of his brow. "Not trying to insult you, ma'am, just making sure there's only one girl frozen to death out there today."
Emily clenches her jaw, steps out the door.
Okay.
Alright.

Summary
It's not like the team doesn't know. They all know. Anyone with two eyes and half a brain picks up on it in five minutes or less. She stopped caring about their side-glances a long time ago. They show up, do the job, sidestep the elephant in the room like professionals, and let everything else rot in the spaces between.
And it's fine. Really.
Honestly, it could be worse. Most people with soulmates get stuck dealing with physical distance, and that issue. Hotch is always right there—within arm's reach, in every briefing, on every flight back from a case, in every shared silence when words aren't enough.
