    Summary

    He watches you. Maybe the two beers are going to his head, despite his infamous reputation as a heavyweight — all he knows is that his eyes follow as you slip through the crowds, sending beaming grins to some people you know from the office, and—
    You don’t know, do you? You don’t know how you make people feel. How you make every person you lay eyes on feel like they’re the only one you see; like they’re one in a million. Important. You capture their attention with just one look and you keep it, too. You never go away — you burrow yourself into his brain and make a place for yourself there and—
    Their brains. That’s what he meant.
    or:
    Moments throughout your relationship with one Aaron Hotchner.

    When a fic has you both silently crying and squeezing the ever-loving shit out of your heart.
    Multiple chef kisses, I throw myself at OP's feet and openly beg for more.

    Summary

    The hairs on the back of your sweaty neck stood up. It couldn’t be, but it was. Next to you, walking on the treadmill in long, lazy strides was the object of your fixation, Dr. Octavius, sporting an ESU t-shirt and basketball shorts (of all things). You stared up at him, doe eyed, and he responded with a shiteating grin peaking through his salt and pepper beard as he gazed down at you, clearly enjoying your surprise.

    “Hey Doc,” you tried to sound cool but it came out as a wheeze as you attempted to catch your breath. “What—what are you doing down here?”

    “Attempting to actualize my New Year’s resolution, of course.”

    Summary

    “And what makes her so elusive?” his tone bored, pushing Karga to get to the point.
    “I guess you’ll just have to find out for yourself, won’t you?”

    Mando takes a job hunting down the reader, but bringing her in may be more of a challenge than he realized.

    Reading this one = hand flapping, leg kicking, high pitched noise making.

    Summary

    It's said that every soul is connected to another by a red thread, and that these two souls are destined to meet. The thread, though it may tangle or stretch, will never break. That's not your experience, lucky or unlucky enough as you are to see the strings that bind people together. A red thread is developed and grown, not born, and you've worked hard to weed out any semblance of crimson that might cling to you. You pay your bills, you keep your head down, and you find whatever lost people or items you're hired to sniff out.

    Then the Devil of Hell's Kitchen tags along on a job, and your plan falls apart.

     

    Starts prior to Into the Ring, and loosely follows the canon timeline. There is eventually smut, so enter at your peril. Reader is never physically described but uses a false name and may be treated as an OC.
