They always knew what the other was, but how did they end up with Emily tied up and blindfolded in the door frame? BDSM. Explicit M rating.

The Black Queen is adjusting to her new life in the FBI, but there's still a lot she doesn't know. She doesn't know how to trust people. She doesn't know it's okay to be vulnerable. Most of all, she doesn't know how much her new family loves her. Thankfully, there's an easy fix for that; it's just a shame she had to get so sick before it could happen.

Hotch gets sick, and learns a lesson that is a long time coming.

This is a story of Hotch's niece and a certain young doctor. I'm a new writer, so please be kind :) Read and review!

Did Spencer Reid really know what Hotch was planning? L.D.S.K. slight AU one-shot.

Faced with a long night of reviewing case files, Aaron Hotchner decides that just one small chocolate bar couldn't possibly to any harm...

Professor Prentiss has a thing for a student's father. Can it work out?

Hotch really doesn't like Reid any more than he likes his other team members. At least, that's what he tells himself. (Eventual Hotch/Reid; oneshot. T for mentioning of sexual harassment.)

Agent Reid encounters an unsub who turns him into a teenager again. Note Slash pairing but no sexual contact occurs while he is underage.

Seeing a look on Jack's face once too often Hotch resigns, not long after he start on a new career as a practicing attorney. In a small office that is lacking in a personal touch and a bit of color. But only for a little while, a little bird spills beans where he is to a recently fired lovely kitten.

Four year old Spencer Reid is taken away from his abusive father and placed in foster care. Just as he starts to settle in his new home, tragedy strikes. What happened and how will the little boy cope? Will he ever find the loving home he deserves?

Hotch finds himself in a taboo relationship. He's dating his best friend's adopted daughter. How long can they keep it secret? Rated M Warning: contains an "adult" relationship between an adult and a LEGAL aged teen. Contains non-sexual spanking of teens and young adult. Plus, some violence/self-harm (nothing gory or too detailed). I do not own CM, only my own original characters.

The team stay in Vegas for a night per the team's request when Prentiss and Morgan force the others to go to a bar after they have dinner together. Prentiss and Hotch get wonderfully drunk and end up in his hotel room together. Smut.

A unexpected talk about first times lead to a unbelievable revelation about the two dark-haired agents. COMPLETE.

Collections of drabble/shot stories/one shot. Mainly Reid-centric and Reid/Hotch relationship. There will eventually be one for each letter of the alphabet. I will put a rating at the beginning of each story because it's mixed. Rated M for that reason, but most are K/K

A series of stand-alone prompts. Some A/U, reader insert, fluff, drabbles, humor, drama, etc. Mostly Hotch, I will confess.

Emily rooms with Morgan and discovers he has an infuriating habit of talking in his sleep. Silliness ensues. Oneshot rated T for minor adult themes and adult language.

Aaron and Spencer search for their first house together and Aaron realizes he may have his work cut out for him when it comes to making Spencer happy. Fluff. One-shot. H/R established relationship.

A collection of deleted scenes from Hotch's childhood that didn't make it to the final cut of my other stories on this site. Here are commonplace moments that look deeper into Hotch's past. These scenes aren't in my other stories because they didn't flow with the plot very well. Rated T for mentioned child abuse (physical, emotional, and, in Scene 1 only, implied sexual)

The team plays a series of pranks on Rossi for all his meddling. Will Rossi counter with the biggest prank of all? Or will the team finally put an end to his meddling? Rated K . * I don't own Criminal Minds nor the characters*

Set after season 7. A new agent joins the B.A.U team. She's Grace Foyet, daughter of George Foyet, the Boston Reaper. How does Hotch take to her? How does the team react? And what happens when a Reaper copycat is on the loose? Can Grace ever escape the notoriety of her name?

After Aaron Hotchner came online as a Guide, his marriage to Haley hit the rocks and she finally walked out on him with their son. Bad luck that this was the same week Gideon chose to abandon the team too. Fortunately, Aaron's work environment is kinder. Though Strauss and the rest of the BAU learn that the dual loss was of greater importance than Aaron had wanted any to realise.

This story is extremely AU. Hotch still works at the BAU, but in this one Reid decided to go into another profession after a girl he had sex with in college turns out to be pregnant. Reid and Hotch meet totally by accident in Starbucks and sparks of sexual attraction immediately happen between the two. This is a M/M relationship. Haley is dead already.

Aspen Hill joined the BAU or Behavioral Analysis Unit of the FBI two years ago after passing the FBI academy with flying colors. From day one Aspen and agent Aaron Hotchner have felt more then co-workers, but they never pursued anything farther than work. It isn't until danger strikes the team that Aspen and Aaron must confront their feelings head on.

A dialogue-only AU in which Hotch texts what he thinks is Rossi's new number but is actually the slightly eccentric stranger whom Hotch knows only as "Spencer." What follows is something neither man could have ever quite expected. / Eventual slash. More-so canon divergence than an AU. More accurately labeled as a text-fic.

Grace Victoria Hotchner is very much JJ and Hotch's little girl. Dancing with diabetes wasn't planned, and getting the Sugar Plum Fairy in her dance school's 'The Nutcracker' most certainly wasn't planned, either. With sugar being diabetes' number one enemy, it didn't make sense for her to be the Sugar Plum Fairy. And with that, she named herself The Sugarless Plum.

The BAU is receiving a new agent... who is five years old? Watch and learn as the team's latest addition brings new meaning to the phrase 'little man!

Morgan grows a beard. Hotch wants one too. A fierce beard battle ensues.

Sean's point of view on growing up with Aaron Hotchner in a violent home. Encounters with his mother, father, and brother help Sean understand the real meaning of love versus the easy, superficial meaning of love. Please R&R. Warning: Involves physical and emotional abuse of children.

A love story between Spencer and Aaron*WARNING* Mpreg AND Slash It is rated M for a reason! I PROMISE that the story is WAY better than my summery! Please Review

I don't know where this came from. Yes, there's a threesome, but ultimately, it is JJ/Hotch. Based on the fact that JLH and AJ Cook are both pregnant, but ignoring Kate's pregnancy reveal on the show and the fact that they don't have the same due dates.

At 18 years old, Jack Hotchner finally finds the courage to ask his father about the day his mother died. *WINNER: BEST CHARACTERIZATION OF AARON HOTCHNER - 2015 PROFILER'S CHOICE AWARDS*

When JJ goes into labor three weeks early and Will's still in New Orleans, Hotch steps up to help a friend in need. JJ/Hotch friendship, for now. Not a Will-friendly story. Rated for language.

When Hotch gets hit with a UTI, he ends up stuck in a hospital bed. Rated M for sure.

When Jack asks his dad to take him camping how does it turn out be a camping trip that will involve the whole BAU team, Will, Henry, Jack and Jessica camping in the middle of nowhere for a whole week? A camping trip filled with fun and chaos...Rated T to be safe but mainly more humour than T rating.
