*Slams table* Spencer's Cowboy AU on 15x7 is living rent-free on my head so I decided to expand on it cause it's literally so wholesome and adorable- take it as a sort of celebration of me finally ending the show? I guess?? I had yet to watch Face Off and In the End but that is technically the finale so-

Spencer only mentions what he, J.J, Rossi and Penelope's roles would be in this tiny little town, so I will go ahead and assume that the rest of the guys are fellow cowboys and cowgirls, because I am imagining the aesthetic and uh-huh, it's serving.

I am pretty sure the AU is meant to be the modern version of cowboys, who had mostly evolved to using trucks but Spencer Reid is Spencer Reid so he goes full old style and uses a horse (well, "uses" is really loose here, he mostly just walks beside it and ride with the other guys lmao think of the very few times we see him drive in canon for reference), so does Luke, because I am convinced he has a soft spot for every animal and horses are cool as shit; the rest uses cars or motos for practicably's sake but when it comes to it all of them can ride like crazy. Yes, even J.J. with her silly lil flower shop.

Emily became this sheriff-ish person shortly after Hotch stepped down to live on the camp with his son in peace, but she is mostly at Rossi's drinking everything he has and making jabs at the town's politicians and how much they take out of her- a really wasted sheriff ends up being taken back to her home in a horse as her roomies watch with concern.

And yes, Emily and Spencer are roomies on this. Everyone that is not married and/or with kids (tho I made an few exceptions-) is someone's roomie on this, actually. Because it would be CUTE and the whole thing on Spence's mind is that everyone is on the same small town and he is so right- On 13x15 Spencer is loafing around Em's apparent like is his damn house so lmao, more to who is who's roomie down below but let's just say that Aristoteles (Spence's horse) had been riding (riden?? I dunno english is dumb) by a really wasted Emily that by his actual owner. The fucking thing rolls his eyes at her.

Rossi works with Ashley Seaver, who until before he re-married Chysta was the only other occupant of his saloon/home- and even after he ties the knot still is, don't worry. I just think in canon that their bond is really sweet and I can't really see her as another cowgirl- so an fellow bartender it is.

And speaking of minor girlies- On J.J's shop, she works with Jordan Todd who takes care of everything when she is on matertiny leave (or just busy with the kids in general) and -after a bad experience with a violent robber- ex-cowgirl Elle Greenaway. Before meeting Will and stuff, JJ and Jordan were roomies but ever since she became a family woman, Jordan moved to Elle's (and they kiss because that would be cool-) a little, modest house near J.J's shop. Pretty much everytime some of the Cow-fellows got hurt or something doing their job they would work for a while at J.J's or Rossi's, but Seaver, Jordan and Elle stayed there cause they preferred that life.

And speaking of former cowboys/girls- there had been a number of them that had retired and sold their cattle and bigger lands to settle in and have a nice little family. As I mentioned before, Hotch was the Sheriff before deciding to devote his time to being with Jack most of the time, so he is enjoying that sweet retirement money on an lil house near J.J's shop so his son can grow next to his "cousins".

Kate was a similar case- after getting pregnant, she hang the rope up and started to work on the little market near her home, selling her friend's farms products.

Alex was a cowgirl for an while and actually taught Spencer some things, but after an stressed cow almost kick his fucking head off his torso she went full "nope" and started teaching at the town's one and only's college, she and James lives near Spencer and Emily's tho so occasionally they read together.

And finally Derek was something like Hotch's second on command for an while but after finding love and stuff he became something like the town's handyman, so he could spend more time with newly born Hank. He was Spencer's roomie before Emily but the night he left, Reid gave him one of his cows as an "never forget me" present so lil Hank could be raised near these critters they had loved so much and raised together for 11 years- everyone is all ".....he is literally moving next door- you can WALK to everyone's house here!" but that don't stop the not very straight hug and tears.

Yes, Gideon is dead on here too- sorry but Spencer without some kind of trauma ain't Spencer- he just fell out of his horse after it got scared by thunder. (hehe, giving lore to what Reid's deal with ridding Aristoteles is-)

Stephen is alive tho. He plays Jazz with his band on Rossi's and is overall living his best life.

Luke and Tara are roomies. He used to be Matt's but *points to the Derek and Spencer's segment* family and kids happened, so Tara moved in shortly after she left her fiance. They live on a farm on the other side of town- (the Spen&Em farm is near the congress, theirs is closer to the dessert's part of it) They mostly have sheep instead of cows tho, since Roxy here is a herding dog and Tara used to be a veterinarian before moving to town. She didn't knew she wanted to be a cowgirl in one of the Spen&Em's cows escaped and went wild on town and she didn't fucking hesitate to take Luke's rope and handle the thing- since she decided to make girlbossing with cows and sheep her whole path in life. Luke also does patrols across town to keep order and stuff, but his night duties are mostly.... trap cows that a very drunk Sheriff had accidentally let out of her own farm. Look she is trying ok? and it's really funny. During the day, since Tara looks after the farm when she is not serving cunt, he helps at Penelope's, which brings me to...

Like Reid said in the famous scene, she works in an animal shelter. PG looks after literally anything that moves- since dogs and cats to that one snake that Tara brought with her from her first job (much to everyone's horror but she loves Noddle so everyone can suck it) and while she didn't "like" Luke at first (quote "this town is not big enough for two cowboys" ignoring the fact she is friends with 3 active cowboys- cowpeople?....cowboys.) but after he brought her his dog and horse, they started to bond over it and she pretty much goes to his home every single night since his farm has the most animals (remember that Tara is a former vet-) and also because that ever since Derek got an life and Emily moved out of her little coon she had been feeling a bit lonely and there is so much that dogs and cows can help with that.

Matt is the only active cowboy with family- But that is because he is more on the rescuer side- like a firefighter, the cow on the name is just the aesthetic lmao- so his horary is way more flexible since he doesn't has to actually watch for a herd or an alcoholic roomie.

An overall, despite the constant storms and other incidents, because the general population is really fucking dumb, despite the occasional tragedy and how many times that fucking cow leaves the farm and makes everyone's lives harder- at the end of the day, Cowboy Spencer just sits on the grass, a horse that is more of an assigned driver that an actual horse by his side, a stressed Sheriff with a killer hangover that is begging him to help her fill the taxes and a book on his lap as he is trying to explain the depth of the Odessey to his cow Mildret, and everything is good.

#criminal minds #there is so much shit to tag here omfg is pretty much EVERYONE #spencer reid #emily prentiss #penelope garcia #jennifer jareau #luke alvez #tara lewis #david rossi #those are the ones that have the most detail lmao

criminal minds sexuality and gender identities <3

if you don’t agree or say something about canon, kindly shush. These are my headcanons so what I think, not what the show portrayed.

Jason Gideon : okay so I know we see him written like a straight man, but in my heart Jason is gay. He just doesn’t let it define him, him and Rossi deffo had a thing at the start of the BAU and it took him awhile to come to accept himself as fully gay. Could also see him as a trans man, but not as much as I see him as a gay man.

David Rossi : omnisexual. I will take no criticism on this, he doesn’t care how you identify if he is attracted to you. He is attracted to you. As stated above, him and Gideon also definitely did it.

Aaron Hotchner : Hotch loved Hayley, I hate their relationship later on in the show. But you cannot say he didn’t love her. However, he had so much tension with Blackwolf in the S1 episode ‘The Tribe’. So, I don’t see him as fully straight. Until I find a label that better suits him either Unlabelled or Queer.

Derek Morgan : unlabelled or bisexual but due to Buford he is more reluctant to engage in a mlm relationship, I think he has accepted his sexuality but will probably be more reluctant to start a physical relationship with a man unless he fully trusts that man.

Emily Prentiss : lesbian.

Elle Greenaway : lesbian or bisexual, but with a female preference.

Jennifer Jareau : hear me out on this one, in the bar scene where she is having a drink with Will and she was building up to telling him something, I was so ready for her to come out as lesbian. There were small hints, and honestly I could see her as a lesbian. However, that didn’t happen and instead we had Will and JJ and I admit they have grown on me so. Before the relationship between Will and JJ was developed or even hinted, lesbian however I can see her as a bisexual woman.

Spencer Reid : bisexual possibly trans man, if not trans, agender or non binary at the least. Could also see him as a purely gay trans man, and would love that but he does work well with a woman as well. So if it is the bisexual, more with a preference for men. His tension with Ethan is undeniable.

Penelope Garcia : pansexual trans woman. Penny is my little queer baby, I can imagine her realising young that she was trans and her family being like super supportive.

Luke Alvez : gay. Luke is a gay man, that doesn’t understand what’s so important about who you are attracted too. He was a bit scared to come out, as I imagine him in a religious home but his family were supportive. His abuela, was just like “I know.” But I imagine him realising high school, but not coming out too his full family until about 18 years old.

Dr Alex Blake : bisexual.

Dr Tara Lewis : lesbian. No explanation needed.

Kate Callahan : unlabelled. If she likes you, or is attracted to you she just is. She’s never fully looked into all the different labels so, she just says she is attracted to who she is attracted to.

Ashley Seaver : lesbian, however she also labels herself as demisexual (she needs to have a bond before she can find you sexually attractive and want to sleep with you).

Jordan Todd : lesbian. Always thought she had tension with Emily, but she definitely isn’t straight.

Fan Expo Vancouver article

Hello guys, check it out this article from online magazine "WE Vancouver" with "Continuum" stars Erik Knudsen and Rachel Nichols.

Fan Expo Vancouver Wrap-up: Continuum stars look to the future

By Sabrina Furminger

May 01, 2013

Fans of time-travel procedural Continuum are currently pondering a new future-related question: just what’s going to happen in season two?

The new season of the popular locally shot series premiered on Showcase on April 21—one day afterContinuum fans crowded into a Vancouver Convention Centre ballroom to preview the second season and hobnob with the cast.

Continuum revolves around Kiera Cameron (portrayed by Rachel Nichols), a police officer from 2077 who accidentally travels back in time to 2012 Vancouver while in pursuit of a gang of terrorists (Continuumnewbies can watch the first season online).

Given Continuum’s conceit, its actors have probably spent more time than most contemplating the future. “I hope I don’t end up in 2077 eating something called Soy-Moo and having no running water,” said Nichols during a rapid-fire interview with WE in the Fan Expo press suite.

Beside her: co-star Erik Knudsen, who portrays present-day tech genius Alec Sadler (the 2077 version of Alec Sadler is portrayed by William B. Davis, best known for his long-running role as the enigmatic Cigarette-Smoking Man on The X-Files).

“I think [Continuum] is very on topic with political issues that are happening right now,” said Knudsen. “We’re advancing very fast and people are worried about our future, and Continuum addresses those issues and those topics.”

For Nichols, the fact that Kiera comes from a completely imagined reality presents a unique set of acting challenges. “I know nothing about 2077. Kiera knows everything about 2077. She knows nothing about the present day, and that’s where I’m from, so it’s a weird juxtaposition of her knowledge and my knowledge and blending it together and making it seem authentic,” said Nichols, who previously recurred as Special Agent Ashley Seaver on top-rated American crime drama Criminal Minds.

Nichols is mum on spoilers, but she did reveal that a central theme for the second season is responsibility—specifically as it relates to Kiera’s role in present-day Vancouver. “Season one was very much about, ‘I’ve got to get home,’ and season two is, ‘I’m here, it doesn’t look like I’m going to go home anytime soon, and I have to realize that I need to be responsible and aware of my actions in this time because they may in fact be deleting history that I know.’” This history includes Kiera’s husband and young son.

While both Nichols and Knudsen admit to admiring the look of the future put forth by Continuum, Knudsen hopes that, in reality, any similarities with the show end at aesthetics. “I really hope that 2077 doesn’t happen the way that it does in Continuum,” said Knudsen. “That’s kind of what Continuum’s about is changing it to become a better future.”

Continuum airs Sundays at 9:00pm on Showcase.

Dutchess

pairing: Ashley Seaver x Reader

summary: Ashley comes home with a k-9 training reject.

Whenever Ashley had approached you about switching from the BAU to a domestic terrorism task force, you had been apprehensive. The BAU could be dangerous, but it wasn't putting her in the vicinity of bombs on a regular basis. However, you could see the way that it grated on her. The months that she had been with the BAU had been good for her, she needed the experience, but it wasn't a place for a new agent. And you could tell that it had brought up quite a few unpleasant memories and feelings for her. So, you had heard Ashley out and stuck with her as she went through a few rounds of specialty training before being officially reassigned.

Both of you seemed to like Ashley's reassignment. Ashley was glad to be doing different, but still important work. You were glad that she was home more often than not now and there was time for the two of you to actually live your lives together. The two of you had been in a bit of a stalemate with your relationship for the past year or so, but now things could move forward. You had always thought about expanding your family, but you hadn't expected for Ashley to just come home with a training reject puppy one day.

"Y/n, I have something to tell you about," Ashley said as she walked into the house. You could hear her taking her shoes and jacket off in the living room from the kitchen. It seemed to be taking her a little longer than usual, and you got the sudden fear she'd been injured at work. Ashley was the type to try and tough it out, so you had a valid fear. "This is Dutchess. The trainers dropped her from the program today."

"Dropped her from the program?" you asked as you turned around. Ashley was looking at you with a hopeful look on her face as she held a German Shepherd puppy in her arms. As if the dog was aware that the next few seconds were crucial for her getting to stay with Ashley, she licked Ashley's face as she wagged her tail. "Ashley, don't you think that this is something we should have discussed earlier?"

"We kind of did, when we watched that movie last month. You said that you'd love to have a dog, remember?" Ashley and the dog had matching expressions and you knew that telling them no would devastate both of them.

"Why was she dropped from the program?" you asked. If you were keeping the "reject" you wanted to know why. Hopefully it was something small and not a major behavioral issue like aggression. Although, as you looked at the puppy, you doubted it.

"Dutchess doesn't like the big men with their loud boots and louder bombs. She's kind of skittish, but I think she can grow out of it. Just look at her Y/n, I mean..." Ashley nuzzled her nose against the top of Dutchess' head and you felt your heart melt a little. "Please?"

"We have to get supplies Ash. She'll need a dog bed, puppy food, training pads, a leash, and you'll be on dog shit duty," you said, and Ashley smiled at you. You swore that you hadn't seen her so happy since you agreed to move with her away from DC. You stepped towards Ashley and held your hands out to take the puppy from her.

"I'll stop at a pet store, you just text me all the things we'll need. Spend some time with Dutchess, bond a little. I won't be more than an hour, tops!" Ashley ran out of the house like a mad woman. True to her word, she didn't take more than an hour, which was the perfect amount of time to bond with the dog. However, you got the idea that Ashley had been carrying the puppy around all day once she got home. Dutchess ran straight from your lap to Ashley, yapping happily as she tapped her little paws against the floor.

"Come on, let's get her little area set up," you said, moving off of the couch. You set a place for the food and water bowls in the dining room before showing Dutchess and giving her a little something to eat. Ashley put the bed in your bedroom, but you knew that Dutchess would end up sleeping in your bed once she was big enough to climb up on her own. You set some puppy pads by the door and went with Ashley to walk the dog before bed.

"You know, I didn't mean to spring this on you," Ashley said as the two of you laid in bed together. She had one of her FBI manuals open and was reading over it. You were laying on your side, resting with your head on Ashley's shoulder and her arm around you. "I just picked her up and couldn't put her down. I've never had a pet before, but I'm glad my first is with you."

"We'll look into some doggy day cares for her, so she doesn't get lonely when we're away with work. This is good for us Ash, better a surprise puppy than a baby," you told her. Ashley's eyebrows shot up as she looked down at you. "This way we'll know if we can take care of another living being before trying to have one of our own."

"You want to have a baby with me?" Ashley asked and you shrugged. Ashley paled as the thought settled in, but you reassured her by pressing a kiss to her cheek.

"Don't worry, that'd be a ways away and it's not a dealbreaker. For now, let's just take care of Dutchess and each other."

Worry - Ashley Seaver

Pairing: Ashely Seaver x Reader

Characters: Ashley Seaver, Derek Morgan, Aaron Hotchner, David Rossi

Warnings: N/A

Request: N/A

Word Count: 440

Author: Hannah

You had been a part of the BAU team for a while, and whilst your job could be quite harrowing at times – it was the best thing you could have imagined doing with your life.

It was never an enjoyable thing to investigate a murderer, as no person ever deserved to lose their life, but the gratitude from the people you saved and the knowing that they were safe was the important part.

The friendships within the team made it more like family.

A family that you could turn to no matter what.

Someone would always be there if you ever needed them, and with the job you all had, you needed that support system.

It was time for briefing so you walked to the conference room to see a blonde girl sat in your seat between Spencer and Derek.

“Someone is in my seat!” you announced as you walked in.

Derek laughed and turned around. “Morning loudmouth.”

“Hey! I am proud to be the loudmouth in this team, someone needs to put you in your place.”

He chuckled, standing up to pull you into a hug whilst the blonde girl was looking extremely confused.

“Am I actually in your seat?” she asked.

You nodded with a smile on your face. “That’s where I usually sit yeah, but it’s no problem. I’ll go on the other side of Reid.”

Once you were all sat down, Penelope stood up at the front with a smile on her face and Aaron joined her.

“As I’m sure you are all aware, we have a new member of the team,” he introduced as he motioned towards the blonde girl “Agent Seaver is with us temporarily as a part of her training.”

You turned and smiled at her. “I’m Y/N, and welcome to the team.”

She returned your smile.

“We also apologise for Y/N and her chair, she tends to be quite protective,” David interjected, a smirk on his face.

You turned to face him. “That is just rude.”

He laughed and then allowed Penelope to continue with briefing.

Soon enough, you were all on the jet in order to get to the case as soon as possible.

You’d taken a seat opposite Ashley.

“Is it always this nerve wracking on the jet?” she quizzed.

“You do get used to it. It is kind of a thing that you learn to block out after a while.”

“I just don’t want to mess up.”

“You won’t. You’re part of our team, and that means you’re family already,” you explained to her. “We’re all here to help you out if you need it, no need to worry.”

Reid: Are you mad at me?

Morgan: No?

Reid: Okay, it’s just that you didn’t send an emoji after that last text earlier and I got worried

Morgan: Pretty Boy, I sent you a text saying that the unsub had killed again and you needed to get over to the crime scene. Did you want me to send a heart emoji?

Reid: No, but a knife or a skull would have been fine

seaver/garcia hate makes absolutely no sense:)

okay this is a rant abt ashley seaver/penelope garcia hate bc i’m so sick of it

ashley seaver:

-cm tiktok often says that she talks about her dad a lot. did you all forget SHE WAS LITERALLY BROUGHT IN TO TALK ABOUT HER DAD. they needed her childhood experiences to spot things in the gated community. often times they would ask her about it. mind you the only episode she directly talked about her father was her first episode, when she was brought in to talk about him. so their point about her father makes absolutely no sense.

-second, SHE WAS NOT A JJ REPLACEMENT. just because she resembled jj does not mean she was there to be a replacement. they already had their issues filling jj’s spot earlier in s6 and resolved it. seaver was never meant to come in and take jj’s spot. she was only originally supposed to be there for her first episode, then she asked to stay. also, jj was the liaison at the time. seaver did not come in as a liaison, she was training to be a profiler.

-finally, her comment to reid. my god. when they talk about this it’s mostly the reid stans. everyone at some point in time made a comment like that to him. yes, it could’ve been handled better, worded better, whatever. morgan laughed at it. it’s not serious.

-seaver was definitely underdeveloped and she is not my favorite, but all the hate is so unnecessary. also, hating on rachel nichols(the actor who plays her) is disgusting she is not the same person as ashley seaver!!

penelope garcia:

-it’s literally just the fatphobia i don’t have another way to explain her hate.

#ashley seaver #penelope garcia #cm #criminal minds #literally what.#the bau #bau #they never did anything to you:)#hi thank you for listening to my rant #separate the character from the actor y'all #rachel has seen the hate before and i can't imagine how it is to see almost everyone hating on your character #<and it ultimately getting her fired for not connecting with the audience

Oh My God, You Think They’re Pretty!

Summary - Spencer Reid can be debilitated by insecurities at times. Never once did he fear they would be because of the love of his life... until now.

Spencer Reid x Reader (she/they pronouns used!)

Category - Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Angst with happy ending, Fluff

TW - Spencer having implied appearance insecurities, Spencer being heartbreakingly sad (apologies and therapy bills paid in advance <3)

Please let me know if I missed anything!

Contains - Spencer having a lot a bit of self-doubt (Yes, he cries. Yes, I am very sorry.), mention of Neville Longbottom from the Harry Potter series and the actor that plays him, Matthew Lewis, and Spencer being a sad lil' bean

Author’s Note - As always, please, please do not hesitate to leave me any helpful comments or provide any constructive criticism. All I hope to do is to improve my writing and hopefully spread some comfort to anyone who may find themselves needing it. Now, if you have been here for more than a hot second, you can imagine how thrilled I was to include two of my favorite fictionals in the same fic, even if Neville made Spencer a bit uncomfy... you'll see ;) I think I made it pretty hard with this one but enjoy <3

The agent consulting on a particularly trying case, retitled Ashley Seaver, was pretty good. She certainly didn't think so but she made for quite the helpful addition to the team. What she was also good for, however, was a couple of well-meaning jokes on the behalf of one favorite resident genius. Garcia was a top-notch perp when it came to the crime.

"...And that is the whole kit and kaboodle on each of your sixty-four suspects. Nothing really stands out, they're all pretty plain," Garcia told one such genius over the phone.

"That's pretty much the main issue we're gonna have here," Reid responded as he surveyed the files she was printing for him.

"Yeah, vanilla doesn't make your job any easier," Penny joked.

"No, it does not," Spencer confirmed.

"So, um, how's it going with the agent whose father was a... y'know?"

"How'd you know that?" An inquisitive tone came over him.

"...I might've looked into someone's hidden background."

At his disbelieving silence, Penelope felt the need to defend her actions, "What? I am not gonna let some strange, new person travel with my family and not find out who they are."

"I don't know, she seems fine," Spencer reassured, looking over to the agent of the hour who was viewing a file beside his girlfriend, Y/N.

"What is that in your voice?" Garcia asked, suddenly highly suspicious.

"What's what in my voice?" He clarified, brows meeting.

"Oh my god, you think she's pretty!" Penny exclaimed.

"What? I never said that!" Reid's voice must have jumped six octaves.

"Ho, ho, you totally do!" She couldn't help but laugh aloud, "P.G. out, Lover Boy!" Garcia reached to hang up the phone before the boy genius jumped to stop her.

"Garcia, Garcia, wait!" He practically yelled.

"Yes, my love?" She retreated.

"Um..." He sounded extremely anxious.

"What is it?" Garcia pressed.

"Don't- Do me a favor and don't say anything like that to, Y/N, okay?" He whispered.

"Reid," Garcia's voice changed to a degree that even Spencer's analytical mind couldn't decipher, "what are you asking me to do?"

"Just don't say anything like that to or in front of my girlfriend," He mumbled ashamedly.

"Because?" She pressured.

"Because it is not true and I love her and I think she is the most beautiful person in the world and I would never want to hurt her feelings by letting her think I thought anything different!" He exclaimed in a rush.

Penelope couldn't help the mischievous grin that broke out on her face.

"Oh, Boy Wonder, you are sweet but I don't think you have anything to worry about."

"Why do you say that?" He sounded suspicious again.

"Well, you can still think someone is pretty in a relationship,” She emphasized.

"No, you can't!" Spencer enthused, "That's cheating!"

"Oh, sweets," Garcia impassioned, "say what you will but if you think that when you watch the Harry Potter movies with Y/N, they are watching for the plot and not one particularly delicious Matthew Lewis, you must be crazier than an unsub."

Reid pouted, hurt.

"What do you mean?" He sounded defeated.

Garcia, sensing her mistake, backtracked.

"Oh, I've said too much... P.G. out, Lover Boy!" She called again and made sure to put on a spurt of speed he couldn't beat. The line disconnected.

So, it seemed, had Y/N's lover boy.

Throughout the rest of the case, he avoided her. He shied away from her at any opportunity and flinched every single time the consulting agent walked into the same room as them.

He had put so much distance between them that Y/N could not possibly just ignore it. Problem was, cases made it pretty dang easy for him to do just that.

On the jet home, Spencer had been reading a book in immense focus. When Y/N had suggested they settle back into their shared apartment with a nice Harry Potter marathon from bed, he broke away from his book to give her a betrayed look and moved seats.

Where he couldn't run away, luckily, was at their home.

"Spence, look, we gotta talk about this."

"What do you wanna talk about?" He asked, quickly losing his satchel at the door and walking away, entering the bedroom.

"I don't know what's bothering you lately but, I'm not gonna lie, you're worrying me."

"Nothing's bothering me, Y/N," the quiet of his voice was muffled almost silent as he changed his shirt in his closet.

"Spencer," Y/N stood in the doorway, blocking his exit when he looked about to make a run for it.

"What?" He asked, meeting her eyes for the first time in days.

"Tell me what's wrong, bubs?" She pleaded, "Please! I cannot help or make it better if you don't tell me."

He remained silent and lightly pushed past her in the doorway.

"What? You don't wanna be around me anymore? Am I annoying you? Bothering you? Are you ashamed of me? Don't think I'm pretty anymore? What?" Y/N fumed as he stormed over to the bed.

"No!" He yelled back.

"Then what?" Y/N screamed.

"Well, I could ask you all of those questions and I am pretty sure I know the answers. That's what's wrong!"

"Spence... what?" Y/N deflated, pausing for a moment and looking at a loss for words.

"I was talking to Garcia," Reid whispered, falling to the bed as the fight visibly drained out of him.

"Uh huh," Y/N encouraged, remaining at the foot of the bed, hesitant to touch him for fear of making his vulnerable state worse.

"Well, she kinda told me..." He hesitated, worsening Y/N's anxiety, "Do you still think I am pretty?"

"Oh my God, Spence, what is she telling you?"

"You just answered my question with another question," He sounded heartbroken.

"Spence," Y/N threw caution to the wind, sitting down on the bed beside him and grasping both his hands in hers, "of course I do."

"Are you sure?" He wouldn't meet her eye.

"Yes," Y/N emphasized as passionately as possible, "what is Penny telling you?"

"Are you ashamed of me?" He ignored her question.

"Now you're answering my questions with your own."

"Are you going to answer my question?"

"Are you going to answer mine?"

He turned away dejectedly.

"Spence, please, just tell me. Nothing can be this bad!"

"It is!" He turned back, tears flooding his eyes and breaking her heart, "It really hurt my feelings and I don't appreciate you invalidating that!"

His voice cracked and so did Y/N's disposition. They pulled him into a tight hug and he sobbed into her shoulder.

"I am so sorry, my love," They mumbled into his neck, "I want to help and I don't mean to hurt you worse but I need you to tell me how."

Pulling away, he wiped his eyes roughly with the back of his hand.

"She told me that you watch Harry Potter with me because you think Neville is pretty and I... I thought I was the only one," He frowned, tears brimming his eyes again.

"Oh, Spence," She brought a hand to his cheek, wiping a trail of tears with their thumb, "you are."

He looked away.

"Spence, does the sheer existence of broccoli make chocolate taste any worse?" Y/N changed tactics.

"Huh?" He asked, thoroughly baffled.

"Bear with me here, bubs, and answer the question."

"Well, no, of course not," He answered earnestly.

"Exactly," Y/N grinned at his sweet demeanor, "just because I think an actor or a character is pretty doesn't mean I think you any less pretty."

"Are you sure?" He mumbled.

"Of course, they're so pretty but so, very much so, are you."

He nudged his cheek closer to Y/N's hand, still resting on it. It was answer enough for her.

"What I do wanna know, Spence," they smiled up at him, "is why this conversation even spawned."

Y/N felt his cheek warm and he blushed a deep, pretty pink.

taglist, i suppose :)

So I’m thinking more on the Afton Family dynamics. And I have some. Some thoughts.

Mostly I was wondering whether William was a good father despite everything and.... I’m not sure where to put this as ‘good’ or not.

He did love his children. While he had already killed before and was planning to kill again, losing two of them did make him snap. But that doesn’t mean he was a good father.

Every time I try to think of it, I think of this one Criminal Minds episode.

It’s Season 6: Episode 10: “What Happens At Home”. In this episode the team adds a new member because she has a unique perspective. Her father was a serial killer, and she might be able to pick out more specific behaviors in a group of men who have such overlapping traits in what the rest of them usually narrow down.

The scene I’m thinking of is when they have the suspects gathered for her to watch the family dynamics. I’m just going to copy and paste what she says. (Seaver is the daughter, Prentis is another Agent she’s with.”

Seaver: “It won't be overt. The kids probably won't be afraid of dad.”

Prentis: “They won't? These guys have explosive tempers, don't they?”

Seaver: “Definitely. Anger wasn't normal at my house. Usually when it happened, when it exploded, it was an anomaly. A surprise. If anything, my father was overly solicitous. Too nice. And if I wanted anything... Bicycles, toys, dolls... All I had to do was ask.”

Seaver: “In groups, he always held my hand. Always. Sometimes so tight, it almost cut off the circulation. But I can never remember him putting me on his lap, holding me in any way.”

Prentis: “Ashley.”

Seaver: “And... He'd always have these talks with me. He was terrified someone would take me.”

Prentis: “Because he knew what was out there.”

Seaver: “Yeah, men like him. You know, maybe this man recently bought gifts for his kids. My dad used to buy me things all the time. What kinds of gifts? Anything. Everything. I told you, there was nothing...

Seaver: “My whole life, there's only one thing I wanted that I couldn't have.”

Prentis: “Which was?”

Seaver: “A pet.”

This is what I’m imagining with the Aftons.

William being, on the surface, a loving father who would do anything for his kids. But he also keeps them away from him because he knows what he is and he doesn’t want that to effect them. That’s why he’ll show them the lab and the other animatronics, but tell them to never go in alone.

And yes, he would give them anything and everything. All they had to do was ask. But even as kids they knew something was off.

Most people knew. Even if they didn’t know. There was something just a little wrong.

Sure. He was good at hiding. But even Henry was suspicious, even if he refused to believe it. But after Sammy’s death, he did keep Charlie away.

Of course there’s also the question regarding how things changed. When two kids died.

William obviously grieved their loss in his own.... murdery way. But what about Michael? Especially because at least Evan’s death was his fault?

I don’t think he could bring himself to fully hate Michael. Which is the one reason he’s still alive.

But killing the other kids involved? Killing another child with the same name and stuffing him into the same animatronic that Michael put Evan in? There was some fury there. It’s still there.

In the present with Security Breach era stuff, William still does love his children, even as they try to stop him. They do not quite feel the same.

Aaron Hotchner x Gender Neutral Reader

a/n: this is intended to be part of the ajf universe (berry hill section), but also stands alone! berry hill is probably good to read before this one, just for a little context. this takes place a couple of weeks after berry hill, during the last few minutes of lauren, and continues through the end of season six. there will be two more parts of this section!

summary: the team reels from emily’s loss and finds footing as best they can in the new normal, until, of course, the rug is pulled out from under them again.

words: ~3k warnings: canon death, language, more slow burning

berry hill (part 1) | absence (part 3) | mean it (part 4)

masterlist | a joyful future masterlist | requests closed!

There’s nothing worse than the silence of the waiting room. JJ paces back and forth, waiting and watching for movement down the hall. Hotch has been restless as well, sitting and standing and wandering in equal measure. Seaver perches on her chair, her bare toes digging into the rough fabric of the seat. She’s quiet, staring into nothing.

Dave sits beside her, his elbows on his knees, his hands laced together. His lips never stop moving, and you’re sure he’s praying. It’s odd to see him there without Emily. Much like Derek and Penelope, they usually stick together in tragedy or stress. It’s more than strange to see him without her - almost like missing a limb you didn’t know he had.

You find your eyes tracking Aaron more often than not. There’s tension in his forehead, and his mouth is tight. Your first instinct is, of course, to soothe his hurt, but there’s so much of your own. He meets your eyes, and you pat the seat next to you.

With a heavy sigh, he sits down beside you.

Your voice is quiet, as to not disturb the stillness of the room. “When’s the last time you ate?”

He shakes his head. You reach out and slip your hand into his elbow. He covers it with his own and you lean against each other. Derek and Penelope are in a similar position across from you. She’s tucked under his arm, her hand rubbing back and forth over his chest, still spattered with Emily’s blood.

You can’t imagine what he’s feeling. If it had been Aaron…

The thought is too unbearable to consider. Aaron’s arm flexes around your hand, and you realized the thought brought your shoulders to your ears.

“Are you alright?” His voice is the barest whisper.

You nod. “Just thinking of Derek.”

He takes a deep breath. You know he understands.

‘“I was just...if it had been -”

“Don’t.” His whisper breaks over the word, and his fingers slip between yours around his arm. Your breath catches in the smallest of sobs, and you turn your head into him.

Hours and hours and hours pass. You think you fall asleep once or twice, but it’s fitful and not at all restful. Hotch is back to pacing - traveling a path from the door to the back room and back to you.

Eventually, he sits again, leaning against you once more. You can feel the exhaustion radiating from him. At a certain point, you take him under your arm. He leans his head into your shoulder and closes his eyes. You’re certain he doesn’t get any sleep, but you appreciate the effort. It’s all for you.

JJ returns, and you all straighten, waiting for her to say something. She can’t speak.

Penelope says something, but you can’t hear her. You can’t hear JJ, though you know her mouth is moving. You sag forward, nearly falling out of your chair. Aaron catches you as he stands, his arms locked around you.

Spencer rushes past JJ, but she stops him. They speak, but you still can’t hear over the rushing in your ears. You find your feet and turn into Aaron, whose hand presses your head to his chest. Your whole body buzzes with something cold and unpleasant, like a shot straight to your nervous system. You’d take a bullet again, rather than feel this.

Slowly, he guides you to the chair on the other side of Penelope. You cling to her, Aaron’s jacket still around you. She’s sobbing, and you can’t feel a thing. When you look up again, JJ has her arms around Spencer, who looks much like you. Broken. Soggy. Weak.

Tired eyes track Aaron as he rounds the corner to the back hallway. JJ finds him a minute later, and you still can’t hear them.

You can’t hear anything.

+++

The funeral is wretched. When the hearse arrives, you help Aaron with his white pallbearer gloves, buttoning them around his wrists and straightening his tie. Your hands linger on his lapel. His shaky breath shudders through him under your hands, and when you look up at him, his eyes are closed.

One of his hands covers yours and you grasp his fingers.

It’s too soon.

We can’t do this again.

It’s too soon.

“There’s never enough time,” he says, almost inaudible.

You squeeze his hand and release him, smoothing out his coat and collar and the hair at his temples before letting him pass. Derek and Spencer take the first pair of handles, Dave and Anderson the second. Will and Hotch share a look before taking the final pair.

You offer your arm to JJ, who takes it, and you follow the men across the cemetery. Penelope and Ashley trail behind you, also arm-in-arm.

Ashley’s been a gift - quiet and warm and observant - through this whole ordeal. You’ve done your best to welcome her into the fold. She doesn’t need to feel like a replacement or a burden. She’s a member of your team. Maybe not a member of your family, but your teammate nevertheless.

The whole affair is far too quiet, far too solemn, to really be a celebration of Emily’s life. Hotch returns to your side once she’s laid over her grave. He gives you a rose and an arm. You take both, the wool of his coat soft against your fingers. Both he and JJ decided to leave the boys at home, but wouldn’t tell you why.

Privately, you figure it’s too much for Jack, and it would be best to keep him and Henry together. Two funerals in as many years is too much for anyone, let alone someone just six. Jess is with the boys at JJ’s house. There’s nothing that woman can’t do, and you love her for it.

Looking around, you realize everyone in attendance is a familiar face. Emily’s mother is the only one you don’t know well, but you’d know a Prentiss anywhere. She dabs at her face with a handkerchief, and a well of spite rises within you. There’s no reason for her to be here.

You’re her family. You will survive her.

+++

Derek is in shambles. You spend as much time with him as you can, but he’s more withdrawn than you’ve ever seen him. JJ and Spencer have clung together, as have you and Aaron. Dave and Derek aren’t as close, and they’re both wildly independent, so they’ve sort of drifted in Emily’s absence.

It’s your mission to keep them in one piece - sharing meals and filling empty evenings with movies and poker and company. You find yourself at Dave’s often, with Jack in your lap and Hotch and Derek on either side of you.

You have rapidly become the team’s backbone - a role you take on with energy and a certain degree of joy. Taking care of them helps you forget your own grief, and never leaves you without company.

+++

Seaver’s graduation is a spot of joy in an otherwise dreary few months. You shout and whistle at all the appropriate times, remembering all too well what it felt like on the other side. There’s a moment where you share a smile with Hotch, and it almost feels normal.

“Remember that?” You ask, tipping your chin toward Seaver. She’s beaming, holding her new credentials in her hand as she greets her family.

He nods. “Do you?”

You snort. “Oh, please. How could I forget?” The day lives rent-free in your mind. Hotch passing you your credentials, badge, and ID tag is a memory that will stay with you forever.

“Glad I made an impression.” His smirk is well-concealed, but you elbow him in the ribs for good measure.

“Shut up.”

He quirks a brow at you, and you grin.

Almost normal. Almost.

+++

Your phone wakes you, and you pick it up right away, recognizing your ringtone for Hotch. “Yeah?”

“Hey, it’s me.”

You flip your bedside lamp on and rub your eyes. You’d be lying if you said you were getting any sleep yourself, and you’re almost relieved you have some kind of company. “Hey, Aaron. What’s up?”

“I’m sorry to wake you -”

“You didn’t.”

He pauses. “Why aren’t you sleeping?”

“I could hazard a guess it’s the same reason as you.” You play with the comforter, the fabric a necessary distraction. “Is Jack still with Jessica?”

“Yeah, for the rest of the week. He’s got a school trip thing, and I didn’t want to leave him if a case came up. They’ll be back from the mountains on Sunday afternoon.”

Your lower lip disappears between your teeth. “Do you want any company? Sometimes it’s -”

“Please.” He cuts you off, and you snap your mouth shut, already throwing the covers back.

“I’ll be there soon.”

The drive is quiet, the Virginia highways barren at nearly two in the morning. You pull into the garage in your usual guest spot and climb the stairs.

Though you have a key, you knock twice before using it.

Always good form to warn an armed federal agent when you’re about to enter his home in the goddamn middle of the night.

He invited you.

Yeah, still. Would hate to get shot on a night off.

The kitchen light is on when you enter, and you lock the door behind you before checking it out. You leave your shoes at the door and drop your keys in the dish.

He's standing at the counter, fixing two cups of tea. Wordlessly, he passes one to you.

You follow him to the bedroom, turning lights off as you go. He slips under the covers, and pats the covers.

“Thanks for the tea,” you say, settling in beside him.

It’s become sort of routine. Since Berry Hill, sharing a bed has become far less taboo and far more common. Even when Jack’s home, you’ve set up the couch for yourself before spending the night next to Aaron. That way, you can wake up early and settle in the living room before he wakes up, or make it look like you slept on the couch even if he wakes to find you in his father’s room.

The element of surprise is always a gift - Jack is more than thrilled to find you whenever you spend the night. He doesn’t know to ask questions, and really you aren’t sure what you’d say even if he did.

Aaron would probably have the words. He’s good at that kind of stuff.

You sit together in silence, sipping out of your mugs and enjoying the quiet darkness. When you’re done, you leave it on the coaster on your bedside - well, on the bedside table.

“Can’t sleep?” You ask.

Aaron’s been finished for a while, his empty mug on his table. He’s already settled in, laying on his side toward you with his hand tucked under his cheek. “Not tonight.”

“Is it Emily?”

He nods. “Yeah, something like that.” There’s more, but he’s never been too good at articulating his feelings. You’ve learned it’s best to just keep him company and not push too hard.

You slide down, bringing the covers up to your chin. “Come here.”

He smiles in the dark and wraps you in his arms. It’s already easier to close your eyes, and you know you won’t be half as scared to confront what you find behind them. His breath fans across the top of your head, much more steady than when you arrived. “Thank you.”

“Of course. Sleep tight, Aaron.”

He tucks his face into your hair, and after a few moments, you hear his breath slow and even out. You lean back, finding his face completely relaxed.

That’s better.

With him asleep, you’re able to tune out your thoughts in favor of his heartbeat against your cheek.

+++

Jack is long asleep when it’s your turn to need company. You’re on the couch, wrapped in Aaron’s arms, sobbing into his chest. Earlier, you found a bank of recorded shows in your cable box that you were waiting to watch with Emily. The realization that you’d never be able to watch them with her knocked you out at the knees, and there was nothing you could do but sit on the floor and cry.

When you caught your breath, you called Aaron and took a cab over to the apartment. Your tears didn’t let up for a single moment on the way there, and started anew when you saw him.

You couldn’t speak, but he just led you to the couch and let you curl up against him. With his cheek against your hair, he rubs your back until you can finally breath without hiccuping.

“What was it?”

“The shows.” You sniff, and wipe your nose on your sleeve. “I was saving shows to watch with her. They didn’t stop recording. I didn’t think to -” A fresh wave starts, and you tuck your head back into his shoulder. You do your best not to wail, keeping quiet for Jack’s sake, “I didn’t think to stop recording them. I don’t even really like them, but we always watched together.”

His next words are familiar to you. “It’s all about the routine.”

Those are the same words you used after Haley died. One of his first breakdowns after her death came when he was packing Jack’s bag for the week, getting ready to drop him off at her place. When he realized there was nowhere to go, nowhere to take him, it knocked the life out of him just like your shows did tonight.

“Once you find something to fill the space,” you’d told him, “things get a lot easier to manage.”

And it was true. That was the first weekend he called you to come spend the day with Jack, and your time together patched some of the holes.

He squeezes you to him. “Do you want to find something to watch together? We can start a new show or maybe movie nights with Jack? Maybe with Will, JJ, and Henry? What do you think?”

You give him a watery smile. “Yeah, I’d like that.”

+++

Andy Swan is a trip and a half, and you find yourself liking her a little more than you thought you would. She and Aaron have a great deal of history, and you enjoy the way they give each other a hard time - pushing and pulling for control of a stressful investigation. They’re different, but highly complementary in their leadership.

It almost reminds you of your relationship with Derek - mutual respect in droves, but a supreme lack of patience, and a little more good humor than is actually necessary.

It’s only when the case is over that shit hits the fan.

You’re all in the conference room following the successful completion of the case. Doyle, of course, has been on your minds since Emily’s death, and you spend at least fifteen hours a week maintaining the not-so-sanctioned investigation into his whereabouts.

But this wasn’t about Doyle.

“I’ve been assigned to a joint task force in Pakistan for an indefinite amount of time.”

The news knocks the breath out of you, and your eyes flicker around the table. Everyone is just as shocked as you are, though you’d like to imagine the short-circuit you’re experiencing is all your own.

“What do you mean?” The question leaves your lips before you can stop it, and Hotch’s brown eyes meet yours. There’s an apology in them.

“Tomorrow, I leave for Pakistan. I’m not sure how long I will be gone. Derek will take over as Acting Unit Chief in the meantime.”

Derek’s eyebrows shoot to his hairline. “You’re kidding.”

“You carried off the job very well last year, and I have no doubt you will have the same amount of success in my absence.”

Derek looks like he wants to speak again, but refrains.

“I understand this is less than convenient. You’ll all have the declassified brief in your inboxes by the end of the day today with more information about the transition. You’re all dismissed for the day.” With a final nod, he walks out of the conference room, leaving you all slack-jawed and more than a little confused.

JJ’s eyes meet yours, and you shrug. You ask, “Has he said anything about this to you?”

“I’ve heard approximately nothing about it,” she replies, peering down the hall.

Goddamn you, Hotchner.

He’s packing up his briefcase when you pass his office. You don’t stop, sitting down at your desk. You’re surprised frost doesn’t rise from the ground at your feet.

There’s a moment where he stops at your desk on the way out of the bullpen, but you just stare at him. He opens his mouth as if to speak, then closes it. After a moment, he finally says, “Jack is with Jessica tonight.”

You have no idea what your face looks like, but it’s enough to drop his shoulders and send him on his way, defeated.
