Marry Me

Title: Marry Me

Characters: Aaron Hotchner, reader, OC male character.

Pairing: Aaron Hotchner x fem!reader, fem!reader x oc male character.

Summary: When it's finally the day of her wedding, after months of planning, why does she feel like she's making the biggest mistake of her life? Isn't every bride second guessing herself, even on her wedding day?

Warnings: None, just a bit angsty and then fluffy.

Author's note: I had the idea for this earlier this week, while I've been recovering from my hospital trip last week. I was inspired by a song, as usual, Thomas Rhett's 'Marry Me'. My muses said to write this and here it is. I have no beta, so all spelling and grammar mistakes are mine, and I just finished it, so let me know what you think.

The day of the wedding was finally here, sunny and warm. Everything was as it was supposed to be. My grandfather was preaching the wedding service and there were plenty of magnoila's everywhere. It was a small wedding, not too many people. But something didn't feel right. It had been this niggling sensation in the back of my mind for months.

My bridesmaids all told me I was crazy, that I was marrying the perfect man. On paper, Steve was perfect. He was tall, and handsome, with blonde hair and blue eyes. He was kind and sweet. Sure, you were supposed to feel sparks, but it didn't always happen, right? My friends told me I'd be crazy to say no to his proposal, so even though I had doubts, I said yes.

I said yes, even as I felt that same feeling in my stomach at my engagement party and my bridal shower. I'd sometimes look down at my ring and my stomach would turn as if I was repulsed by the large diamond ring. My mother told me I'd be crazy to not marry him. But that feeling was still there, and it was even more present this day, standing in my wedding dress, pacing back and forth.

I couldn't get Aaron out of my head. Aaron and I had been friends for forever. He was an FBI agent, tall, handsome, and funny, with brown eyes that sparkled when he teased me and when he laughed. He knew my favorite color and the way I drank my tea. He knew everything about me and I knew everything about him. I couldn't get that night he'd almost kissed me before I met Steve out of my head, that night we spent walking downtown, how he'd paused in the park under that big magnolia tree, and how he'd almost kissed me. I'd never felt such sparks before, never felt so strongly before.

The sparks had always been there, but it was always a case of wrong timing. I remember when he was dating Haley Brooks, and I'd been single, and then I'd be dating someone and he'd be single. All of my friends were dating people, and getting married.

I was pacing back and forth when my dad walked in, a box in his hands. I recognized the tie-dye shirt wrapped around it, a shirt I bought Aaron one summer as a joke gift, but one he loved. It had its place of pride amongst the suits he wore as an FBI agent. Seeing it, wrapped around whatever gift he'd got me, was like a death sentence. It was like the ending of what could be.

I bit back my tears and hesitantly let my dad walk me towards the aisle, but the closer we got the more my nerves increased, and the more I sensed I was doing the wrong thing. I kept panicking and as the opening notes started to play, I took a deep breath and held my flowers and I couldn't do it. I stood there, as everyone stared at me. My eyes met Steve's at the end of the aisle and I realized, I loved Aaron. He loved me.

I glanced down at the large and gaudy ring I wore and met my dad's eyes. He gave me a concerned look and watched as I slipped the ring off, sliding it into his hand. "Tell him I'm sorry?" I said, and he nodded. Then, as everyone gasped, I dropped the too-large bouquet I didn't even like and ran out. I knew right where he'd be, and Dad had pressed his car keys in my hands as I ran out.

I drove there, speeding and praying I wouldn't get pulled over. His car was there, in the parking lot and I ran, faster than I'd ever run before down the paths, in my wedding dress, past people who stared at me until I stopped short of the tree. There he was, standing under the tree, looking wrecked.

He turned around and his eyes met mine. He held his hands up, a shocked look on his face and I started crying, shrugging as my hands landed on my face before I ran to him, launching myself into his arms, and he held me without question. His arms were strong and warm around me as I sobbed into his chest.

"What are you doing? You should be getting married," He said, his voice warm but full of shock as he held me. "I can't, Aaron," I whispered, tears thick in my voice. He was silent for a moment, as he pulled back to look at me. "Why not?" He asked, as one of his thumbs reached up to wipe my tears away.

"Because it felt wrong from the start. Because I'm an idiot for not realizing that I wanted to get married, but that I didn't want to marry Steve. It's you, Aaron. I've been in love with you for years now, and I'm the biggest-" But then his lips descended on mine, and I whimpered as he kissed me, holding me tight as everything suddenly felt right.

Kissing Aaron was like the final puzzle piece being fit into place. Everything felt right again. My world, which had felt so off-center in the months since Steve proposed, now felt right again. I pressed close to him, my lips remaining on his, until we both pulled away to breathe heavily. "I know I'm a big dummy and I should have trusted my gut and said no to Steve, but I'm here. I ran away from my wedding and I'm here."

Aaron hadn't spoken yet, he'd just been listening to me ramble and he pressed his hand to my lips. "Hey, hey," he said, his voice soft. "You're here now. All that other stuff, we'll figure out later. You were always a little slow on the uptake, but you got it. I love you." He'd whispered and I nodded, as I cried again. "I love you too, Aaron Hotchner. I'm sorry it took us so long to get our timing right."

He didn't say anything else, he just leaned down and pressed his lips to mine, kissing me like his life depended on it. I knew I'd have a lot of people to talk to in the next few days, but right now, standing here under the shade of the magnolia tree where I'd had my almost first kiss with Aaron, his lips pressed to mine, everything was right. As long as I had him in my life, things would be okay. I can handle whatever the world throws at me as long as he's by my side.

Revelations - Season One

Summary: FBI agent Leila Kade faces a profound life change after giving birth to a baby girl, supported by her loving husband. Despite the challenges of motherhood, Leila returns to her role as a dedicated agent a few months later, ready to confront gruesome and haunting cases with her BAU team.

Pairing: BAU!Fem!OC x Male!OC , EVENTUAL Aaron Hotchner x BAU!Fem!OC (Like much later)

Warnings: This story contains mature themes such as sexual content, strong language, violence, mentions of alcohol and drugs, blood, gore, and death. All the usual Criminal Minds stuff. And there is NO CHEATING.

Note 1: I imagine Leila Kade as South Asian but I have decided to let you, the reader, imagine her appearance, hence the reason why I have not given her a face claim. However, her race does not affect the story, whatsoever. You, as the reader, are free to imagine her however you want. If you don't see her as South Asian, then that's fine. It won't affect the storyline. I also imagine the OC!Male as South Asian, but again, it won't affect the storyline.

Note 2: The team will consist of the main cast (Emily, Derek, JJ, Spencer, Penelope, Aaron, and Rossi) but will also include Elle Greenaway and Jason Gideon because they were some of my favorite characters and I wanted to include them with the rest of the team. Basically, Elle and Gideon never leave when Emily and Rossi join.

Note 3: There will be multiple time skips throughout this series. For example, the first chapter will begin on the first season and episode of the show but then there will be a time skip to later episodes (because there are obviously way too many episodes to write this series on and I wanted to include specific episodes that would help the plot of this story). This means that this series will be a slow burn romance but I believe it to be better this way. This will also stray from the actual show a lot, so don't expect it to follow the plot precisely.

Series Masterlist

•• Chapter One: Extreme Aggressor

•• Chapter Two: Compulsion

•• Chapter Three: The Fox

•• Chapter Four: Derailed

•• Chapter Five: The Tribe

•• Chapter Six: Local

•• Chapter Seven: A Real Rain

•• Chapter Eight: Machismo

•• Chapter Nine: Charm and Harm

•• Chapter Ten: The Fisher King - Part 1

Hey besties.

So thanks to an influx of new followers and from different fandoms and interesting requests I’ve been getting I figured it was needed to repost this.

Things I WILL NOT write for:

-Non con or even CNC

-Age gaps. (Realistic ones are fine. But i refuse to do 18 year old super genius yn who graduated Harvard already and 40+ year old character falls in love with them).

-Basically YN under the age of 30. I’m in my mid 30’s and most people in the industries that my fics involve would be in that age rage, or late 20’s at best if you’re looking under, go elsewhere.

-Underage yn’s. If you want a fic where yn is the chlld this is NOT the place.

-stories involving losing virginities. While i may write someones first experience with the the same sex, or a specific style, i do not write virgin characters

-pregnant y/n’s. It’s very rare I will accept requests involving pregnancy

-Male yn’s. Nothing against it but as a female, esp when it comes to smut I’m uncomfortable writing it.

-Same goes for medical conditions. There are certain that I am familiar with or are easier to research or I have close friends who can give insight to, otherwise i feel like I’m not doing it justice and also dont want to offend. Dm or send an ask if you have specific questions.

WHO I Write For:

(just because there is someone on my masterlist does not mean i still write for them. i only write this list.)

Law and Order(SVU/OC/ OG)

-Rita Calhoun, Casey Novak, Elizabeth Donnelly, Alex Cabot, Grace Muncy, Tonie Churlish, Melinda Warner, Pippa Cox, Sonya Paxton, Amanda Rollins, Peter Stone, Mike Dodds, Joe Velasco, Sonny Carisi, Rafael Barba, Terry Bruno.

-Ayanna Bell, Samantha Maroun

-Calex, Barhoun, Calvak, Novelly, Benhoun.

Criminal Minds:

Emily Prentiss, Derek Morgan, Alex Blake, Tara Lewis, Aaron Hotchner

House of Cards:

Heather Dunbar, Jackie Sharp

-Duckie (heather x jackie)

Homeland:

Elizabeth Keane

Grey’s Anatomy/Private Practice:

-Addison Montgomery, Amelia Shepherd, Charlotte King

NCIS:

Abigail Borin, Anthony Dinozzo

Chicago PD:

Hailey Upton, Kim Burgess, Erin Lindsay, Kevin Atwater

EST|20+|She/Her

Hello! My name is Bonnibel, I'm looking for an array of things right now. However, before delving into anything roleplay based I want to talk about the kind of people I'm looking for! I'm looking for LONG-TERM roleplayers, possibly open for multi-musing and having different roleplays. I'm looking only for 20+ roleplayers who are comfortable with NSFW subjects! Preferably writing Semi-lit to Adv-Lit

I'm looking for people who are happy to make moodboards, spotify playlist, headcanons, and worldbuild with me; this can be a make or break for me! I'm partial to writing female characters, I love to double; when it comes to doubling or oc x oc I am more than happy to play male characters! And finally I am NOT comfortable with MxM but can attempt FxF though I might not be perfect with it as I mostly just do FxM!

Getting into what I'm into I'll write the following fandoms I'm looking for and what characters I'm looking to have against my oc! Bolded characters are my preferred, and bolded fandoms is what I'm looking for the most

(P.S. I'm VERY picky with cc x cc, but certain fandoms I'm more than happy to just ask)

–

I can write: Aaron Hotchner, Derek Morgan, Jennifer Jareau, Emily Prentiss, Matthew Simmons

Peaky Blinders: Michael Gray

I can write: Thomas Shelby, Arthur Shelby, Ada Shelby, May Carleton

I can write: Ryohei Arisu, Suguru Niragi, Kuina, Daikichi Karube, Ann, Takeru "Hatter" Danma,

Harry Potter: The Weasley Twins

I can write: Just ask LMAO, again the list is much too long

RWBY OG SERIES: Qrow Branwen or Lie Ren

I can write: Anyone just ask!

Supernatural: Sam Winchester

I can write: Dean Winchester, John Winchester, Castiel, Cain

Shadow and Bone: Matthias Helvar or Nikolai Lantsov

I can write: Alina Starkov, Kaz Brekker, General Kirigan, Genya Safin, Inej Ghafa, Tolya Yul-bataar

I can play: Johnny Slaughter, Ana Flores, Connie Taylor, Julie Crawford

APEX LEGENDS: Octavio Silva

I can play: Just ask, I most likely can play them

Overwatch: Ramattra, Genji, Reinhardt

I can play: Just ask, I most likely can play them

It takes two: This is a very specific ask that I just want to roleplay as them during the game and post game!

Dad Reader (Reader x OC! Fem Character, gen BAU x reader) Part Two

A/N: I teared up a little bit writing this. Please read the warnings on this chapter! And I couldn’t wait until Thursday to post this so I thought I’d do it earlier lol!

Warnings: Cancer, illness, Chemotherapy, Radiation therapy, this is heavy towards the end with stuff like that, sadness, a character is not well at all. There will be another ‘keep reading’ for when the warnings and stuff hits just so people know!

Word Count: 2140

You broke out in a grin as you sat in your car. Seeing the time, you plugged in the seat belt, turned on the ignition and set off back to the BAU.

By the time you arrived, your cheeks hurt from all the smiling you had been doing and your chest still felt warm. You were a dad.

"Someone's lunch date went well," Morgan said teasingly. You couldn't contain it any longer. You had just walked into the room and you already felt like you were going to burst.

"Sophia has a kid, I'm the dad," You said, grin somehow widening even further, "I'm a dad to a six month old baby boy called Elias," Everyone paused, looking up at you with wide eyes before the congratulations started. Penelope was rambling about all the knitting she was going to do for your son, Spencer telling you facts about babies, JJ giving you a 'good luck' face about having to deal with a six month old, Emily talking about how she can barely deal with her Plant Baby Meredith, and Derek giving you a smirk about doing the deed. When Rossi and Hotch came down and you gave them the news, Rossi patted your cheek with a smile, much like a father would, and Hotch gave you a rare smile and congratulated you.

“So any other ground breaking news?” Morgan teased.

“I’m moving in with her, Elias, and her mum,” You said casually with a shrug, “She explained that the only reason why she didn’t tell me was that she knew that I wouldn’t go to the academy to stay with her,”

“Wow, so yeah, there was other ground breaking news,” Emily added.

“Yeah, I guess so,” You said with a shrug.

“Don’t you have an apartment?” JJ asked.

“Yeah but it’s all quiet and lonely most of the time, besides I want to be close to them,” You said with a nod, “Catch up on what I’ve missed, you know?”

“You’re a good kid,” Rossi said, you let out a small laugh, not knowing how to reply to that.

“When are you moving in?” Spencer asked.

“I’m not sure yet,” You answered honestly, “I’m going round for dinner tonight, so I guess we’ll talk about it then,”

“We’ll all be more than happy to help you with the moving process,” Hotch reassured.

“Thanks,”

You all parted ways to your separate desk or office (or bat cave in Penelope’s case), seeing the elevator ding - Hotch had a meeting with Strauss. So you all got back to work, luckily before the elevator doors have even opened.

“Right, we are going to come over tonight, the whole gang,” Garcia said, approaching your desk, you furrowed your eyebrows.

“I can’t I’m having dinner at Sophia’s house,” You said.

“No, no, we’re coming over before then to help you get ready and keep you sane,” She explained, you smiled as you rolled your eyes fondly but didn’t protest.

“I will probably need you to keep me sane, thinking about it now,”

“See? See? I’m fabulous,” Garcia said, “Everyone should listen to me,”

“That they should, Babygirl,” Derek grinned.

“Oh you,” Garcia smiled back.

“If you’re all coming round, you should know that dinner at her’s starts at seven,”

“I can’t go, Henry’s sick,” JJ said apologetically.

“Jess can’t look after Jack tonight so I can’t go either,” Hotch added.

“And I would,” Rossi said, “But I’ve been divorced three times, so what do I know about women?”

“What not to do,” You joked. “I’m joking, I love you really Rossi,” Rossi rolled his eyes before he and Hotch left to go to their respective offices and look over some potential cases Strauss wanted them to look at.

“I can come,” Spencer chimed in with a smile, Derek agreed, as did Emily.

“Great,” You smiled, “Should we all go straight to mine then?” When everyone nodded and the plans were settled, you all got back to work.

The rest of the shift past in the blink of an eye and the next thing anyone knew, you were all tumbling in two cars and heading over to your apartment.

“You really are a guy, aren’t you?” Emily joked as she walked into your apartment.

“I wasn’t expecting guests, okay?” You laughed, picking up clothes that you had slung across the place, as well as a bowl of cereal you had had for dinner the night before (you were feeling lazy) and the coffee mug from this morning. You bunged it all in the kitchen and shut the door behind you. “Otherwise, I would have cleaned up,”

The five of you walked into your room (you had rushed in before them to hide anything you didn’t want them seeing like dirty laundry) and got started immediately. Derek pulled out a shirt and it took all your might not to snicker.

“What about this?”

“I can’t wear that,” You argued.

Derek held up the shirt with furrowed brows, “Why not?”

“I don’t want to look like a male escort, no offence to your taste in shirts,” You said, Morgan huffed a laugh and Spencer grinned and Emily and Penelope cackled, “I didn’t even know I had that shirt, but it is going in the trash,” You plucked the shirt from Derek’s hand, putting it in the small trash can you had in your bedroom.

“What about this?” Penelope asked, holding out a navy blue shirt, “That way you can wear jeans - smart casual,”

“Smart casual confuses me,” You admitted, Spencer made a noise of agreement. “I feel like I need a dictionary for terms like that - or someone to just pick my outfits...”

Emily snorted as she took a sip of her wine. “I don’t even have any wine in the apartment, how did you get that?”

“I carry it in my purse,” She said with a shrug, “I call it preparation,”

You snorted, “I call it alcoholism,” She threw a shirt at you.

“Oi!”

“Children enough,” Penelope said before handing over the outfit she picked out for you. “Go get dressed and then you need to leave,”

“But I’ve got ages until I need to be there,”

“That may be, but you also need to get her and her mother some flowers,” Penelope said, “Which puts an extra forty-five minutes,”

“Forty-five minutes?” You ask, “How far out am I driving for these flowers?”

“There’s one about ten minutes down the road - I’ll send you the directions - but you’re also extremely indecisive,” She defended.

You dramatically gasped, “I am not!” You argued before turning to Spencer, “What socks do you think I should wear?” Penelope threw her arms into the air.

You settled with lilies, chrysanthemums, and tulips for the flowers, all a variety of pinks, yellows, and peaches. Penelope was correct as it turned out, you were, in fact, extremely indecisive. She was also right in that it did indeed take you an extra forty-five minutes to get to their house. You hopped out of the car happily, grabbing the flowers from the passenger seat and rang the doorbell. Excitement buzzed off you.

“(Y/N)!” Sophia’s mum, Anne, greeted with a large smile when she opened the door. She immediately pulled you into a hug. “Come in, come in,” She ushered. You let out a chuckle as you did as you were told, you took your shoes off at the door, not wanting to ruin their carpet.

“Oh! These are for you,” You said, holding out the flowers you had brought on the way, “I would have gotten you a better house warming gift, Mrs Mason, but it was all a little last minute,”

“Oh nonsense, (Y/N),” Anne said with a smile, “These are beautiful, and please call me Anne, Mrs Mason makes me feel old,”

“Mum? Is that (Y/N)?” Sophia called down from her room, “Tell him I’ll be down in just a minute, I just need to change Elias!”

“Do you want any help?” You asked back, hearing Sophia decline your request, you turned back to Anne with a small shrug.

Before you knew it, you were all gathered around a small square table, with Elias in a high chair in between you and Sophia and Anne opposite him. You forgot how good Anne’s cooking was, you moaned slightly when you tasted her food.

“You alright there?” Sophia asked with a smirk.

“I can appreciate good cooking thank you very much,” You said with a small smile, “Besides, I’ve been cooking for myself over the last like ten months - it’s mostly been take out and ready made meals,” Anne let out a small gasp.

“When was the last time you had a home cooked meal?”

“Oh, no, don’t worry,” You rushed out quickly, “Rossi, from my team, has us over every Saturday we aren’t on a case for a homemade meal and Hotch has us round on a Thursday evening as well,” ‘Good,’ Sophia thought to herself, ‘He has people who look after him,’

“Good,” Anne nodded, “At least you’re eating okay two out of seven nights,”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, my Chinese take out order has vegetables in it,” You said, “Therefore: Health.”

Anne and Sophia both laughed, Elias babbling on with them. “I don’t think that’s how it works you know,” Sophia commented.

“I disagree,”

After you finished dinner, Anne looked at Sophia sternly. Anne stood up, taking everyone’s plates into the kitchen, refusing your offer to help.

Anne walked back into the room, “Elias and I are just going to sort out desert,” She said, “Aren’t we Elias?” Elias babbled as Anne carefully lifted him out of his highchair. You smiled softly at your son as he and Anne left the room.

Sophia internally groaned at herself, she had waited for the right time at the cafe and there wasn’t one. ‘That’s because there will never be a good time to tell him,’ Sophia thought to herself. She decided to just blurt it now and get it over with. That’s clearly what her mum wanted to do.

“I’m ill,” Sophia said, deciding now was as good a time as any, “Really ill,”

“What?” You ask, your smile faltering. “H-How ill? What’s wrong?”

“Cancer, lymphoma,”

“Well, you can get chemotherapy, radiation therapy, there are ways around this,” You said desperately, reaching your hand out, wrapping it around hers. You blinked back the tears when you saw the sadness in her eyes.

“They’ve tried chemo,” She whispered, “It didn’t help. They’ve started me on chemo and radiation therapy, but they aren’t too hopeful. If that doesn’t work - and it’s looking like it won’t - there’s nothing else they can do,”

“But there must be-”

“No, there isn’t,” Sophia said softly, cutting you off, “And it’s okay,”

“No,” You said shaking your head, ignoring the tears that slipped down your cheeks. “No, we could- We could get some money and find a specialist, the doctors you’re with clearly don’t know a thing,”

“The doctors I’m with are the specialists, (Y/N),” Sophia replied.

“You’ll get through this,” You said, adamantly as you wiped the tears from your cheeks, seeing the doubt on Sophia’s face you continued, “You will. You’re strong and- and stubborn, if anyone can prove them wrong it’s you! You’ll get through this, I know you will,”

“I’ll try my best for you, Elias, and my mum, (Y/N), I will,” Sophia said quietly.

“Who else knows?”

“Just my mum,”

You looked at her exasperated, “How are you both acting like everything’s fine?”

“False ignorance, maybe,” Sophia said with a shrug, “I told mum I want her to act normal. I already feel crappy as it is, I don’t want people treating me like I’m going to break any second,”

Before you could answer, Anne walked back in, “Would anyone like dessert?”

“N-no thank you,” You said, standing up. “I er, I need to go. Thank you for having me, Anne. Your cooking was lovely as always,”

“You don’t need to go, sweetheart,” Anna said softly.

“I’ll start packing my stuff and I’ll be all moved in within the month,” You said, grabbing your coat. You were on autopilot, spouting out information of the first things that popped into your head that you had discussed with the pair. “I, erm, I’ll text you, Sophia. See you later,”

And with that you left, shutting the door quietly behind you. Trying to wait until you got home to break down.

“Mum, he hates me,” Sophia whispered, turning to her mother. Anne rushed over to her daughter, shaking her head as she pulled her into a tight hug.

“No, no, not at all,” Anne reassured, “He’s in shock, he doesn’t know how to handle it just yet. We’ve known about it a lot longer than he has. We’ve had longer to process it,”

Falling For the Section Chief - Masterlist

Nicholas Holmes(Oc) x Jennifer Jareau

Summary: Aaron Hotchner and David Rossi are long-time friends of their Section Chief Nicholas. They know he's been hurt more times than one in relationships and gave up on love completely. But recently the two have noticed a change in his behavior- a newfound pep in his step... love. The problem is... Nicholas is hard to profile so they don't know where his behavior came from. What they also don't know is that on his first day, when he walked through the doors of the BAU, the first person he meets is a beautiful blonde that changed his mind about love entirely.

Warning(s): Smut (somewhere after chapter three), language, teeth rotting fluff, (overall nothing too bad)

omg speaking of male ocs/reader . i just wanted to share about this One trope that got me CRAZYYY is secret relationships... the one's where aaron and oc are like pretty much dating but are trying to keep it a total secret from the rest of the team because #professionalism.... but they keep making little slip ups bc they're just so in love 😭😭 i think its just SOOO CUTE 😭😭😭

N THIS ONE SCENARIO THATS STUCK IN MY HEAD is like oc ended up sleeping over at aaron's place then in the morning his phone rings. but male oc doesn't realise that it's AARON'S phone (and not his) so he answers half asleep. but then on the other end of the line is another team member who's like "oh sorry- thought it was... i must have dailed the wrong number- wait... 🤨🤨" then male ocs like HORRIFIED and aaron soon wakes up to the sound and he's also SHOCKED but he tries to put on his #serious professional gruff voice and coming up with some excuse like they drank last night and then dozed on the couch or smth 😭😭 then subsequently aaron n reader have to keep defending themselves by saying it was just a #bro activity and that's they're just Bros n nothing more

my god... just thinking about how cute aaron is when he's flustered 😭😭😭 like how he has the 🥺 eyes but tries to cover it up with a 🤨😐🙄 "i don't know what you're talking about . can we talk about work now". LIKE the episodes when the team teased aaron when he was going out w beth My GODDDD HES SOOOO ADORABLE WHEN HES IN LOVE 😭😭😭😭 like his boyish grin n the way his face crinkles... i cannot deal with this

- 🤲

yesssss i LOOOVEEEE secret relationships sooo much, especially when it's like cute lil gestures during work or getting each other coffee n kissing when no ones around or cuddling at work bc they have to share a room and no one's gonna know <33 (unless one of the team happens to burst into the room bc they think aaron or the oc is in trouble somehow 🤭🤭🤭 and sees them snuggled up on the bed all cute 🤭🤭🤭 as they're holding their gun bc they think they were gonna find an unsub with them or them missing but noooo they're just wrapped up allllll cute in each other's arms 🤭🤭🤭)

OUGH I LOOOOOOVE THAT SCENARIO!!!!! heheh i love the idea of penny calling and being like "hey sir i- wait a moment i thought i called- no i know i did bc he's on speed dial so that means- oh my GOD you and boss man are CANOODLING" and oc/reader is just like "nonono i accidently slept here!!" n she's like "WHY WERE YOU THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE 🤭🤭" and aaron wakes up n takes the phone and is like "he came over to help me with jack and we drank a lil now we're asleep on the couch" and idk if she'd do this fr but maybe penny can track the phone real quick and she's like "then why does it say you're in the bedroom rn 😏" LMAOOO and bless them they're just trying sooooo hard to brush it off!!!

"we're just brooooos man bros gotta cuddle the homes sometimes!!!" 😭😭 it'd be lowkey so funny if oc is just like "don't you think aaron deserves a cuddle or two, guys? it ain't gay i swear man he's just in need of some love from the homies yknow. hey morgan maybe you should snuggle him next-" "absolutely not" "-i'm sure he'd love that! he just needs some loving, man" LMAOOO

and yesssss they'd tease his sooooo much <333 he'd get all flustered bless him and it'd be adorable and he'd be wanting to tell everyone they ARE together bc he wants to show oc off sooo much and give him work smooches and just be like "yeah this is MY BOYFRIEND!!!!" bc he's soooooo cute and in love but for now he just gets used to the teasing from the team (dave and penny mostly, but sometimes emily and spencer catch him off guard) hehe <3 it'd be like that scene where rossi looks at him once and just KNOWS he got a date with beth or something hehe and he goes "attaboy 😏" after he confirms he has!!! OUGH i neeeed him to smile like that at the thought of dating me SO MUCH and for rossi to be proud AHHHHH

and just the idea of a male oc making him all smiley and goofy and happy again <33 he kinda becomes how he used to be again GODDD like he's just happy again GODDDD 😭

his SMILE DJSKDJ GODDDDDDDD I LOVE HIM I LOVE HIM I LOVE HIM I LOOOOOOOVE HIM

also i currently have like 5 male oc's written up for him (like fics planned out or ideas for it) LMAOO they're all mostly from when i was in the fandom in 2021 but i wanna go back to the ideas sooooooo much 😭 and i made a new one a few days ago for a lil one chapter fic i wanna post hehe, it's so dramatic tbh but seems to also end in smut LMAO so hopefully i can get it out sometime 💪just need to write aaron being gay without it being reid or morgan amen (even tho i LOVE hotchgan)

Blake

Summery: How Hotch somehow gets the number of the cute nurse.

Taglist: @ellyhotchner @unionjackpillow @eleanorbloom

Pairings: Aaron Hotchner/Original Male Character

Warnings: Hospital, surgery, blood, death, wounds

Disclaimers: The hospital name and the surgery stuff is made up.

Aaron Hotchner hates hospitals. He hates the thin blankets, the wires on his body, and especially the recovery time he has to do. He hates having to stay in hospital knowing that he will be mostly alone all day. Even though he hates hospitals, he can’t help but keep getting himself in hospitals which is why he is in one right now. Hotch groans as he slowly wakes up. He suddenly feels the cool breeze hit his body. He knows where he is but he’s not too happy about it.

“Easy there”

The person next to him helps Hotch sit up. Hotch looks to see the guy next to him is a nurse, a very cute nurse in fact. He has brown hair that is much lighter than his and has bright blue eyes.

“I- am ... am I in a hospital?” Hotch asks the nurse.

“Yes, you’re in Quantico Memorial Hospital, I’m the nurse who’s in charge of you. You had to go through surgery and you went into a coma”, the nurse says. Hotch looks at him and then looks around the room. Usually his team is here waiting for him to wake up.

“Your team had another case so they had to leave”, the nurse says, somehow reading his mind. His team were already in another case. How long was he asleep?

“H-how long?” Hotch asks.

“About a week, do you remember what happened?”, the nurse asks. Hotch looks back at his hands, trying to remember what happened.

“Hotch!”

Hotch drops to the ground, hitting his head hard. He looks up to see the unsub holding a metal rod and was about to swing it at him before he falls to the ground. The metal rod hits the floor along with the unsub’s body. Blood spills from his forehead as he is lies in the ground. He can see Morgan running torwards him. Hotch looks down to the side of his stomach which is bleeding. He then sees Morgan pressing his hands on Hotch’s wound.

“Hotch, look at me”, Morgan says, trying to get his attention. Hotch looks up at Morgan.

“Stay with me, man. Just stay awake for me”, Morgan says. Hotch tries to do what he says but it’s too hard. He feels dizzy from the blood loss. Hotch slowly drifts to sleep.

“Hotch!” Morgan says making it the last thing Hotch hears before everything turns black.

“I already informed your family and your team that you’re awake, they’re going to come in about a couple of hours. I’m going to check your vitals right now”, the nurse says. Hotch hums. He watches as the nurse checks his heartbeat and jots notes down on his chart.

“I-I haven’t caught your name yet”, Aaron says staring at the blue-eyed nurse. The nurse looks at him and smiles.

“It’s Blake, and I already who you are Mr. FBI”, Blake says making Hotch chuckle. He stares at the light-haired brunette, maybe hospitals aren’t so bad after all.

One week passes like a breeze, Hotch normally would be happy to finally get discharged but now he doesn’t have an excuse to talk to Blake. He looks at Blake as he signs Hotch’s discharge papers.

“You know, I’m going to miss you Mr. FBI”, Blake says as he looks up at Hotch. Hotch smiles at him. He hasn’t smiled like that in a long time. But behind that smile is disappointment knowing that he can’t see him anymore. He would honestly hurt himself on purpose if it means to meet Blake again. Blake looks up to him. Hotch swears he can read his mind.

“Give me your hand”, Blake says as he opens his pen.

“What?” Hotch says, confused.

“I said give me your hand”, Blake says. Hotch gives the nurse his hand. He looks at him as Blake writes down something on his hand.

“Here, my number. If you ever need anything or want anything then you can always call me”, Blake says with a smile. Before Hotch can say anything, Blake’s pager dings.

“I got to go, I’ll be waiting for a call”, the blue-eyes nurse says with a wink. Hotch blushes and looks at his hand. He never felt this way ever since he met Haley. Hotch thinks back at what he says. Or want anything.

“There you are! Come one, Rossi is waiting for you in the car”, Morgan says as he walks in the hospital room. Morgan looks at Hotch’s hand and smiles.

“Ooh, which one of the nurses number did you get?” Morgan asks, teasing Hotch. Hotch hides his hand in his pocket.

“It’s-it’s not like that”, Hotch says, knowing that Morgan isn’t going to believe him.

“Whatever you say bossman”, Morgan says as he and Hotch walk outside to Dave’s car.

i’m looking forward to it

aaron hotchner x male oc

summary~ in which a police chief wants a chance to get to know aaron better after a case

(possibly part 1?)

Another case easily solved and the BAU was ready to head back home. The police department had been very cooperative which doesn’t happen often when they’re working cases which was very appreciated. For Special Agent Aaron Hotchner, though, the chief was the only one he was paying attention to.

Chief James Eubank stood at a solid 6′4″, two inches taller than the agent himself. The police chief was about five years his senior give or take but you couldn’t tell. His tan skin was devoid of any wrinkles and his long hair was kept out of his face in a singular braid down his back, similar to how John Blackwolf wore his during his time working with the BAU. Wait until I tell John about this one, Aaron thought to himself and immediately felt like a school girl.

The Chief was a smart man and could definitely tell when someone else was looking at him or at least in his direction and had caught the profiler out the corner of his eye multiple times. James found it endearing and judging by the looks of Aaron’s team, they had no idea the looks their boss was sending James was anything either than work related.

How cute.

As the BAU team was getting ready to leave, James took a small breath and stepped forward, “hey, mind if I steal your boss for a moment. There’s some paperwork I forgot to give him.”

“Sure,” Emily answered for the team and sent Aaron a knowing look that made the man flush.

“I’ll only be a moment,” Aaron assured his team, knowing they were probably itching to get home. James lead Aaron back to his office and once they were completely alone, he rounded on the man.

“I’d like to get to know you better, Agent Hotchner,” James got right to the point which caught Aaron off-guard.

“What?” Aaron questioned a bit dumbly and out of character.

“I’d like to get to know you better,” James repeated, humored, “mind delaying your flight another day, agent?”

“I...” Aaron trailed off and spared a quick glance at the team through the office window. They were doing a terrible job at discreetly watching them through the window but he turned his attention back towards James and all of his buff glory, “what would I tell my team?”

“Business meeting,” James suggested, well, suggestively.

Aaron let out a wry laugh as James stepped around his desk and leaned against the front of it, standing almost directly in front of the other man, “is that a yes or a no?”

“It’s a-- well-- it’s a,” Aaron took a breath to level his head, “I would like that.”

“Good,” James grinned, “now put back on that stoic face and go tell your team you’re going to stay to consult on another completely unrelated case and we’ll go from there, agent,” he commanded and Aaron couldn’t help but follow.

Goodnight, Aaron (Aaron Hotchner x OC) Chapter 1

Summary: After an informal interview, Hotch is surprised to find himself inviting his son’s potential nanny - a complete stranger - over to his home for a visit.

AN: Thank you for the love on the prologue! My niche lil series is thriving because of it <3

The instrument Sebastian has in his bag is a venu. It is a flute made of bamboo, used in Indian music.

Sebastian is half Indian on his mother's side - his father's ethnicity isn't disclosed in this story. While I have researched and included parts of his heritage in his character and the story, I'm not going to write about being a POC or being raised a Muslim because that's not my story to tell.

If you are a POC or a Muslim, and you have any advice for me on including his ethnicity as part of the story without speaking over POC voices or perpetuating harmful stereotypes, I would greatly appreciate it.

Tagging: @sunlight-moonrise, @clean-bands-dirty-stories, @genevievedarcygranger, and @davidrossi-ismydad

Prologue // Masterlist // AO3 Link // Chapter 2

“I still think I should have been there for a second opinion.”

“It was just meeting up for a discussion about what this job might entail,” Hotch sighed as Rossi pressed the button on the elevator. The doors slid closed and a jolt hit Hotch’s stomach as they began rising towards their floor.

Rossi tapped his side twice before making the leap, “So, what was he like?”

“He seemed the most genuine, if a little…” He paused, his eyebrows moving a fraction of an inch closer before settling on - “Nonchalant for an interview. But his references check out. He looked after a set of twins for seven years, and the parents were more than pleased with him.”

“He started early. Must have been like a big brother to them.”

“It was clear they mean a lot to him; he’s still buying them birthday presents.”

---> ---> ---> ---> --->

Sebastian was dressed on the edge of smart casual to parallel Hotch’s suit: a bright patterned short-sleeved shirt plus chinos against the well-matched simple button-up and tie respectively. But it was the thick Mancunian accent that nearly tripped Hotch up when Sebastian called his name.

“Aaron Hotchner, right?”

“Yes, and you must be Sebastian. Good to meet you,” Hotch gave a polite smile and offered his hand once Sebastian had dropped his satchel and two boxes from Build-A-Bear onto his side of the booth. He gave a firm shake twice. Out of nowhere, a thought popped into Hotch’s head that his hand had gotten sweaty in the ten second interval that he had seen his interviewee.

Sebastian didn’t seem phased, smiling back as he dropped his hand, “You too.”

“Can I get you anything?”

“I’m alright, thank you.”

Both sat down in the booth of the quiet cafe Hotch had chosen to meet Sebastian at. Across the next fifteen minutes, Hotch mentally noted everything he could about the man he was interviewing behind Sebastian’s resume and references which had printed off earlier in the day.

Sebastian would always take a few seconds to process the questions. When he answered, he used his hands a lot when he spoke. Not out of nerves though. He held Aaron’s eye contact too well, alternating between both eyes and a spot in the centre of his forehead, to be anxious. As Hotch offered to show him some photos of Jack, Sebastian stood then moved next to sit beside him without hesitation. A subtle woody scent accompanied him.

“Aw yeah, little bruiser,” Sebastian said as Jack ran around the field doing the Spiderman webshooter gesture at a teammate who did the same back at him, “And good taste in superheroes too.”

And from that moment on, Sebastian talked about what Hotch wanted for Jack. He listened with constant attention as Hotch spoke. Those smiles he shared with hi,, they had no force behind them, and Hotch found himself gesturing with his hands like Sebastian – albeit on a smaller scale.

They were just getting to talk about the logistics of wages when Hotch’s phone rang out.

“Excuse me,” Hotch stood up to take a moment of privacy, “Hotchner.”

Midway through the call, he spared a glance Sebastian’s way. The man was checking in his bag for something-

Oh. A wooden flute.

It disappeared back into the bag as quickly as it had been pulled out. Hotch turned his attention back to his phone call. That too was over rather fast and he was back to the booth.

“I’m sorry to cut this short, but I’ve been called back to work.” He shook Sebastian’s hand again once he had stood up, “I’ll be in touch. Thank you for meeting me at such short notice.”

“Not a problem. Part of this job too, isn’t it?”

---> ---> ---> ---> --->

“I think Jack would get on with him,” Hotch concluded.

“When do you find out if that’s true?”

“He’s coming to meet Jack this afternoon. If all goes well, then he can have a trial day. If that goes well, I’ll consider hiring him.”

“Thorough,” Rossi said just in time for the elevator doors to open.

Another good day followed – meaning it was mostly paperwork – but even with his time in his office mostly undisturbed, Hotch found himself packing several case files into his briefcase. At least he would have something to do instead of pressing his ear up against the wall to Jack’s room for the evening.

Jack charged out of the school gates, crashing into Hotch and flinging his arms around him. Hotch grunted as Jack’s P.E. kit smacked into back but it didn’t stop him from lifting his son off his feet. Those feet didn’t stop kicking, not even when Hotch lowered the volume of the Beatles’ tracks en route home. He listened dutifully while his father explained about the visitor that would be coming over that night.

“He might be around to help your Aunt Jessica look after you while I’m working.” Hotch said as they pulled into the garage, “But, if you don’t like him, we can find someone else, OK? He doesn’t have to stay.”

“OK,” Jack unclipped his seatbelt. Then he carried on talking about how his lunch break game of soccer had gone, all the way up to their apartment.

While Hotch checked on the slow cooker, Jack did his homework. He would occasionally pipe up to ask a question. Not because he didn’t know the answer, Hotch knew that, but because he enjoyed the conversations that would spawn from the homework. One such conversation was cut short at the sound of the doorbell. Jack carried on with his work, his head receiving a tussle from Hotch as he passed to get to the front door.

Waiting patiently in the hallway was Sebastian and Hotch greeted him, “Hello. Did you find us alright?”

“All good, got the third degree from your doorman about my ID though,” and Sebastian flashed the small card before pocketing it. The patterned shirt had been swapped for a muted red number but Sebastian had kept his satchel as part of his outfit. And it was then that Hotch noticed the various patches sewn onto it. Flags and symbols, likely from something Sebastian enjoyed but Hotch didn’t personally recognise any of them. It did, however, remind him a little of Penelope Garcia.

He had already taken one of his shoes off before Hotch could tell him that this was a shoes-on house, so Hotch decided to continue the small talk instead, “He’s very meticulous with his job.”

“Good,” and Sebastian spied Jack appearing around the corner, “Hey, you must be Jack. I’m Sebastian. Is it cool if we hang out for a bit while your dad works?”

Jack looked to between Hotch and Sebastian several times before he nodded.

“Jack, why don’t you show Sebastian your Lego?”

Hotch watched Jack lead Sebastian into his bedroom before he returned to his office, leaving the door ajar. Sebastian would have to walk past to make it out of the flat. Just a precaution.

Discarding his suit jacket on the back of his chair, Hotch lost himself in the slope of paperwork. His mind only strayed once when the toilet down the hall flushed. The conversation, too muffled by the walls to make out any words, became a comforting white noise.

The slowest and simultaneously fastest hour passed.

Hotch had just made a dent in his workload when he heard a shriek of laughter from Jack’s room. Clicking his pen, he abandoned his desk and crept around to the source of the noise. He could smell that the casserole was nearly done. As he peeked around the door frame to see, part of him wished he could blend into the background, just to catch more than a glimpse of what was happening.

Sebastian was lying on his back with his legs tucked into his chest and Jack astride his shins. Thankfully, Sebastian’s hands were around Jack’s middle as he pushed his legs up, and Jack’s arms were stretched up. Both were making sound effects that were fitting to the spacecraft Jack had constructed from random bricks and was currently flying over his head.

Hotch could watch Jack playing for so much longer. But he knew that he had to interrupt if he wanted him off to bed on time.

“And just what are you two doing?”

Both of their heads whipped around to see Hotch, now stood fully in view in the doorway. While Sebastian looked genuinely guilty, Jack just beamed at Hotch and waved his Lego model at him.

“Seb’s helping the spacecraft take off!”

“I see,” Hotch said, just as sternly but a smile creeping onto his lips betrayed him, “How about you go wash your hands, Jack? Dinner will be ready soon.”

Nodding eagerly, Jack dismounted his steed and a dishevelled Sebastian got to his feet.

“I’ll catch you later then, Jack. How do you prefer to say goodbye? High five?”

Jack opted to slap his palm against Sebastian’s then ran off to the bathroom. Both Hotch and Sebastian watched him go. When the door was safely closed, Hotch turned back to his interviewee.

“He’s crackin’,” Sebastian said, letting out an awkward laugh as he finished adjusting his hair.

He looked as pleasantly surprised as Hotch was when he offered a trial day with Jack. Trusting his gut, that’s what Hotch was doing. His gut was seldom wrong, and his gut told him that Jack getting along with Sebastian more in an hour than he had with his grandfather for years meant something was going right for them.
