Thanksgiving Dinner and being Thankful for the blessings of family and all that one has. A special day, a wonderful meal and time spent together.

All Erin wanted was to take a nice, picture.

Strauss denies Rossi's request for a day off. He wants to know why and in true Rossi fashion, let's Strauss know of his displeasure. What should have been done, with the simple stroke of a pen, is not and Dave sees red. Erin is not impressed. It is not meant to be serious, just a glimpse into the regular life of our OTP. Complicated, they name is David Rossi and Erin Strauss.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Strauss has been promoted but when the BAU has an incident with a Sheriff, she makes sure she sets them straight about their transgressions. They are not happy and let her know how they feel. Why is Strauss so mad? What exactly did they do? Where did this all occur? How was the situation resolved? Who comes out on top in the end?

Erin's Strauss' son comes home, unexpectedly. He hears his mother being attacked. He rushes to her defense and sees a man he doesn't recognize. Michael won't just stand around and let his mother be raped. He goes after the guy and David Rossi, never sees it coming. I rated this a "T" because I do mention the word rape. But it should probably be rated a lot lower.

Instead of Derek Morgan being the one who realizes Strauss is drinking on the job, it is her lover, David Rossi. When personal and professional mix, will their relationship survive? What lies ahead for Section Chief Strauss? Will she lose everything she has ever wanted? One mistake, that is all it takes to put her job and her relationship in jeopardy.

He had been there so many times for her in the past. This time, it was her turn.

David Rossi's happy and this is why!

What motivates Erin Strauss and a look at her thoughts about Aaron Hotchner and the team (even though it doesn't specifically mention most of them) over the years. Inspired by their time on a certain bench. This also looks at David Rossi's influence on her professional life over the years and how close they are now personally.

Oh goodness, Erin Strauss and David Rossi have procreated and now their children have a story to tell. This is listed under Rossi and Strauss but they are barely in this story, but since it is there progeny, there fore it is there fault, I wanted you to know who to blame for this yarn.

How does Rossi deal with the pain of Losing Strauss

A conversation between Strauss and Cruz

Another look at the events that might have taken place just after the part of the conversation we see between Strauss and Rossi in About Face. I always thought from the way Erin made it personal when she told Rossi that she didn't understand why he was coming back and from the way she blatantly checked him out before she left Hotch's office after reintroducing them that more happen

All David Rossi wanted to do was surprise the woman he loves… This story alludes to his relationship with another Criminal Minds Denizen but that person is not actually in the fic.

A lingering question. A desire for an answer. Words that need to be said. Words that need to be heard.

Rossi's ready to take another trip down the Aisle. Is Erin ready also? He has plans and now he just has to get her on-board. Everything David Rossi does is on a small scale. Why would his wedding be an exception. He clues his prospective fiancee in on his plans and as usual, Erin Strauss, tells him exactly how she feels...

Rossi find Strauss before she dies. He's been loving that woman so long, he doesn't know how to stop loving her, even for death. Erin knows her life is ending but she can't leave this world without telling David how she feels one more time. You might need a tissue, or a box as Strauss and Rossi get a few quiet moments together as they say a final goodbye. Character Death warning.

Erin's thoughts about her Meeting with David Rossi in the episode entitled About Face. Rossi is not actually in this but I hope he decides to tell his side of the story. If you watch the episode, Strauss tries to act unaffected by Rossi in her office, but the next day when she takes his to Hotch's office, she let's her eyes linger on him as she is walking out.

This started out as a Halloween story. It took longer so posting now. Rossi had big plan for the next day, All Saints Day so that will be when part two takes place. This doesn't follow the Halloween episode as I started it before I saw it but it alludes to Morgan's reaction to the Holiday in the Episode where Rossi was introduced to team. This is the Story of Halloween Rossi style.

There was a reason Erin Strauss favored her son. He was a living reminder of the man she loved and lost. She loves her daughters also, but their father never held as special a place in her heart. She'd been blessed to get a second change with him, but there was a time when her son and memories were all she would ever have of David Rossi.

The real scoop on how Penelope Garcia became a part of the BAU. Garcia is mentioned in this story but she is not in it. This story is a look into the past of Strauss and Rossi. What does this have to do with Penelope? Read and find out. It is as complete as it is going to get but marked in-progress as I believe you never say never. If the characters want to say more one day...

Strauss has something to tell Rossi. It is just a short Drabble.

A talk between David and Erin the night before the wedding reveals hidden secrets and past misunderstandings. I marked this story as incomplete as maybe one day the characters will decide to visit this universe again. This story does talk about child abuse. I hope you enjoy.
