“I’m not asking him for help, Lydia,” Stiles sneered, trying valiantly to not look as she cleaned out the gash running across his bicep. “We’re mortal enemies. I refuse.”
Lydia sighed and pressed the cotton ball unnecessarily hard where a bullet had grazed him. “You’re not enemies, Stiles. You’re the only one who thinks that.”
Stiles threw his good arm up in the air. “He tried to blow me up!”

♥♥♥
In the weeks that followed, Spencer brought the BAU to you. Of course, not everyone could make it. Kate Callahan was off raising her children. Penelope Garcia was the target of several hitmen (whereas Frank was probably the target of a single hitman. Massive difference. Trust me.) And Derek Morgan remained at Quantico with Garcia- so you really weren’t sure what to expect. The agents you had the strongest feelings about were out of commission. The last time you’d met his team it did not uh, how would you put it? End well? So you were- justifiably- a touch guarded.
That changed. Eventually.
It started with Adam.
At that point in the investigation, local law enforcement had only shown your friend cruelty, distrust, and skepticism. Honestly? You were about to start biting people about it. (Yeah, maybe it would have gotten you arrested, but at that point, you did not care. At the very least, biting would make you feel productive.) You were well and truly prepared for Spencer’s law enforcement team to behave in a similar manner to the local cops- and to be honest, you probably should have been. Most Feds would carry that same suspicion and distrust, and if they didn’t they were probably faking it to try and get a confession.
The BAU, however, are not most Feds. For several reasons. Either way, you were well and truly prepared to maul the next person who treated your friend like garbage, fed or otherwise. There was never a need.
The BAU showed Adam basic decency. They didn’t talk down to him or dismiss him as a demeaning stereotype- and yes, that was the barest of bare minimum, but it was still something. While they regarded him with mild suspicion for the first like, two minutes, it only took the team that same two minutes to come to the conclusion that Adam was innocent. After that, the BAU was just as dedicated to clearing Adam’s name as you were.
“Adam had an incredibly emotional response when we mentioned Frank,” Hotchner explained to the local detectives, “He’s genuinely devastated by what happened. He couldn’t have done this. Even if he did attack Frank, it wouldn’t have been a clinical hit.”
“Emotions tend to make things messy- we would have seen something much more personal, with more violence and more remorse,” Rossi added.
The detectives did not listen. The detectives did not care.
“I’d say a gunshot wound is pretty messy,” one laughed.
“Yeah,” another jumped in, “Try telling the vic’ that things aren’t messy.”
You bit your tongue to keep from screaming, but you didn’t stay entirely silent. If the detectives weren’t going to give a shit on their own, then you were going to make them.
“Have you actually?” you asked, crossing your arms, “Have you spoken to the victim?”
“Eh, someone else got around to it,” the first detective asked, looking at his partner with the special kind of uncertainty that came with getting called out.
“Did you read the report, then?”
“Well, I’m on the case, aren’t I?”
“Answer the question, detective.”
In the telling silence that followed, Rossi had to turn away to hide his (failed) attempt to suppress a grin. Hotchner looked proud, despite not knowing you very well. Spencer looked like he might grab you by the waist and kiss you until you were out of breath. He didn’t, though, for lots of reasons- his boss was there, he hadn’t asked you if you’d like to be kissed, there was more serious stuff to focus on, and like… you already looked fucking pissed.
The detectives just looked embarrassed.
“I- uh. I’ve skimmed it,” the first detective stuttered out.
“Yeah, cool, not good enough,” you nabbed the case file from a nearby desk and pressed it into the officer’s hands, “Consider reading the report. You’ll find that the victim disagrees with you.”
Both detectives stared at the file as if they were seeing it for the first time- as if they were seeing a file for the first time. You sighed.
“Detective, if I may ask, how much overtime have you put in on this case?” the man in front of you blanched at your question. You would’ve laughed if you weren’t so fucking angry, “Cool. I thought so.”
“Ough,” Rossi winced with faux sympathy, “Overtime? And you haven’t even read the case file?”
“Hey, we’ve been very busy these last few weeks!”
The second officer nodded, “Just last week, we had five break-ins in the downtown area.”
“Alright, I’ll accept that,” you turned to leave before doubling back, “But before I go, I need to ask- do you care about the wellbeing of the break-in vics the way you care about this case? Do you care about all victims so dearly? Or do you treasure their testimony the way you “treasure” the testimony in this case?”
“What? What are you saying, what do you-”
“I’m gonna go out on a limb and assume it’s the latter.”
“What? Okay, what the hell do you know about police work-!”
“They’re an expert criminologist,” Spencer said, seething slightly.
“Dr. Reid is right. I know a thing or two about crime- and if I’m just gonna put it this way. I’ve seen the data. I’ve heard testimony from victims and offenders. I know the local and nationwide statistics for unreported crimes. You’re concerned about the victim hearing that his case isn’t messy? Look me in the eye and tell me that you’ve never told a victim that their situation- their serious situation- was a waste of police time.”
The officers couldn’t look at your face, much less your eyes. You had done what you needed to do.
“You wanna solve crimes? You wanna be the hero? Then take a goddamned ethics class, read your fucking case files, care for your community, and do your fucking job.”
The detectives tried in vain to defend themselves. They were unsuccessful- especially in the face of the three FBI agents that immediately backed you up.
“Dr. (L/N) is right. The number of unreported crimes will astound you,” Rossi said, smirking like the little shit that we all know he is.
“This is especially prevalent with sexual assault cases, theft and scams, and other crimes where the victim may feel a sense of embarrassment- or crimes where the victim feels like their case won’t be taken seriously,” Spencer added in a very Spencer-like way.
“And everything you need to know about this crime is in the file. If you’d read it, you’d know that the victim is very insistent that your guy didn’t do it, and one could say that, oh, I don’t know, he’s a strong eyewitness. He is the victim and all,” Rossi continued, getting their asses.
They struggled to respond, “Well- I- We-”
“And even if you discount the eyewitness testimony, there’s still the matter of alibis and ballistics. Security cameras have placed Adam away from the community center at the time of the shooting. The ballistics aren’t a match to any weapon that Adam has ever come into contact with. Even if they were a match, he hasn’t handled a weapon since his release from prison as a condition of his parole. But if you had checked the file, you’d know that,” Hotch added, also smirking like a little shit, but with a slight edge to it- that edge, kids, is called “pissed off authority figure.”
“Hey, it-”
“It just sounds like poor police work to me,” Spencer had the biggest smirk of all- the smirk of a little shit who’s proud of his team and of his hot co-professor, “Had you actually done any of your research, you would realize that the suspect you have in custody is being held on police bias and circumstantial evidence. Any good lawyer can get this case thrown out, and then where will you be?”
His smirk turned to a full grin when you shot him a small smile of your own.
The detectives continued to sputter out responses. For once, the second one spoke, “Now, we may not be fancy FBI agents, but this precinct has a solid track record of convictions-”
“Were those convictions based on circumstance and bias?” Neither detective answered Spencer’s question. He continued, “Even if this precinct had a perfect track record, that wouldn’t make it invulnerable to mistakes- and even if it did, you would still have the responsibility of approaching each case like professionals to ensure the wellbeing of victims, suspects, and families.”
“I couldn’t have said it better myself,” you slid forward, putting a hand on Spencer’s arm, “Now if you’ll excuse us, we’re going to go speak with the victim. His name is Frank, by the way.”
And just like that, you pulled Dr. Spencer Reid away- and he did not resist in the slightest. In fact, he held the door open for you as you exited the precinct. Rossi was pretty sure he saw the kid get behind the wheel.
As the detectives scurried away with their tails between their legs, the older agent let out a long whistle.
“Well, I think it’s safe to say that our young Dr. Reid is officially smitten.”
“He was smitten the last time we were here,” Hotch said, pulling another copy of the case file from seemingly nowhere- one of his many unit chief powers.
“Yeah, yeah, but this time it’s bad. Garcia’s gonna be mad that she didn’t get to see it.”
Hotch nodded, solemnly.
“Y’know, I think the three of them combined could probably take down the whole FBI.”
“You’re right,” Hotch snapped the file closed with a tiny little proud-dad-type smile, “We’re awfully lucky that they’re focused on something else at the moment.”
-
Missy got your guard to drop further.
Initially, she was hesitant to have the Feds drop in on Frank’s case- you both were. You were used to local law enforcement treating her like shit. You didn’t stand for it- every time a cop or lawyer so much as dared to look at her wrong, you bared your teeth like a damn dog and threatened to bite where it would hurt. Y’know. Lawsuits. Missy wasn’t exactly a pushover, either. She was one of the strongest people you knew, and you were well aware that she could hold her own. If Missy wanted to be scary, she could be fucking terrifying.
Still, it was a little exhausting to fight all these battles against people in positions of authority who were so convinced that their series of events was correct, and anyone who went against it was nothing more than a lying ex-con. Having the BAU in your pockets certainly helped with that.
“I already told you what happened. I’ll tell you a thousand more times if I have to, but the story isn’t going to change,” Missy groaned, voice muffled as she buried her face in her hands.
“Okay, then. We’ll go over your testimony again. A few more times, if you don’t mind,” One of the local detectives smirked, ignoring the death glare you sent her way.
“Fine. Frank was walking me to the community center. I was taking a class on resume writing. It was cloudy, not raining, but cold. We came around the side of the building when a man in a leather jacket walked around the corner.”
“And what did this man do?”
“He- he shot Frank. He tried to kill my-” she took a shaky breath. You put a hand on her arm, aiming for gentle comfort and reassurance. Missy nodded, letting you know you’d hit your target.
“Did you see his face?” The officer continued.
“No. He was wearing one of those bike helmets that block off the person’s eyes- but I swear, it wasn’t Adam. This guy was too bulky. Adam’s made of wires, he needs to eat more.”
“You seem to have a lot of affection for Adam,” the detective leaned forward, “Now, we know you’ve claimed to be in a relationship with Frank- but could you describe your relationship with Adam for us?”
“I already said it! I took a couple classes with him! He’s a friend, that’s all.”
“Mhmm. That’s all. And in your previous line of work- the one that earned you a prison sentence of twelve months and a little over minimum wage- you had a lot of ‘friends,’ yes?”
“Excuse me?” your fingers bit into the table that separated you from the cop. You had half a mind to jump over the thing and throttle the smug detective sitting before you.
“What?” Missy growled, “You think just because I used to hook I fuck all my friends now? I’ve taken a few classes with Doc (L/N), I haven’t fucked them!”
You nodded in solemn agreement. The detective shrugged this off, ignoring everything that came out of Missy’s mouth. When she spoke again, her voice rang with the faux pity of someone who held themselves leagues above Missy.
“You know, I can see why you were looking at writing up a resume- your old line of work is so degrading. You know you’re never the same, afterwards. You can never wash off the shame. You’ll always be a little broken. A little-”
“Okay, that’s enough-” you stood up, slamming your hands down on the table.
“Hey, fuck you, man-” Missy leaned forward, “Don’t tell me what hooking did to me. You don’t know me. You don’t fucking know.”
“And now you’re lashing out. Poor thing-”
“Detective Foy. A word,” Tara Lewis, a newer BAU agent who you hadn’t really had the pleasure of meeting materialized in the doorway like a perfectly timed ghost, ready to right some wrongs and keep you from committing a murder. Her request for a word was perfectly intimidating, disclosing the not-so-secret secret that the request itself was not actually a request.
“I’m sorry, Agent, I’m in the middle of an interrogation-”
“It’s not an interrogation. You’re questioning a witness. Agent Jareau will handle things from here. Now, a word?”
You and Missy watched as the detective slunk out of the room with her tail between her legs. Moments later, JJ joined you, but she didn’t bother to start a line of questioning. Instead, the three of you watched in giddy silence as Tara Lewis destroyed Detective Foy where she stood. You couldn’t hear her through the glass, but you could vaguely read the words, “You are a police officer meant to serve and protect the people in your community, and uphold the law. You should educate yourself on the law, and on what it means to serve and protect.” On her lips.
You could’ve been off on that translation, but either way, it was sick as fuck. By the time Tara was finished, you and Missy were barely holding back your laughter. You probably would’ve held it in if JJ hadn’t turned around with a pleased grin on her face.
“Ok, well, I’ve known Agent Lewis for about three minutes, and already I adore her,” you cackled.
“Oh, she’s excellent,” Missy said, eyes sparkling with mirth.
“Well, we certainly like her,” Jennifer grinned, clearly proud of her teammate and happy to see that someone outside the BAU had taken notice.
A few moments later, Tara re-entered the room with a tired sigh on her lips. It didn’t take her long to realize that you were all staring right at her.
“What? What is it?”
“Oh, it’s nothing, we just think, as a group,” you looked around like you were the leader of the world’s weirdest (and maybe coolest?) group project, “That you are, objectively, excellent.”
“Yep. Not bad for a Fed.”
Again, you nodded in agreement, “I concur.”
Tara raised an eyebrow, slightly confused, “Thank you?”
Missy gave Tara a thumbs up. You followed her lead. Not really knowing what else to do in this situation, and figuring there was no harm in joining the madness, Tara returned the thumbs up.
“Well, like we said, we’ll take over the questioning from here,” JJ took a seat as she spoke. Tara joined her at the table.
“So, after Frank was shot, did you see where the attacker went?”
“No. I was kind of focused on my partner bleeding on the ground.”
“That’s fair- but try to think back. Did you see anything in your peripheral vision? Did you hear anything?”
Missy paused for a moment, and when she spoke again, she still sounded lost in thought, “I heard a bike. It makes sense with the helmet- I think it might’ve been a Yamaha?”
“Wait, you can tell which brand a bike is by the sound?” you asked, not disbelieving Missy, but distracted by the new knowledge that a person could do such a thing.
“If you let me think about it, I could probably give you the make and model.”
“Holy shit, really?” your eyes were wide. Your expression betrayed just how bewildered and impressed you were by vehicle knowledge. It might’ve been basic knowledge, but fuck it, the author can’t drive.
“Oh, absolutely- different bikes make different sounds. Cars are similar,” Tara nodded her agreement.
“You can tell cars apart by their sounds!?”
“Yeah? Can’t you?” Missy turned to face you, slightly bemused.
“I can tell that they’re old? Or like, electric, I guess?”
“Okay, when this is all over, I’m giving you a lesson.”
“I’d like to get in on that,” Tara added.
“Excellent!” Missy smiled, “Now everyone shut up and let me think.”
-
The way the BAU treated Frank dragged your guard down further. They were gentle, but not dehumanizing or infantilizing. They just treated him like a human person, and you found that neat, and more importantly, Frank found that neat.
Also, the BAU laughed at Frank’s anecdotes and jokes. I will be fully honest. That was more of a relief to you, especially because a decent chunk of those anecdotes and jokes were about you murdering the shit out of Spencer Reid using nothing but your words.
It really started on that very first day, when you and Spencer had gone to visit Frank. He could see it from his hospital bed- Spencer’s hand on your shoulder, the way Spencer was very clearly trying to comfort you from some unknown upset, and that was it.
Frank said, “Wow. Those two have sure come a long way from Doc telling him to go die in a ditch.”
And JJ, who had been questioning him, choked on her coffee and wheezed out a, “What?”
And that was pretty much it. Frank explained that Spencer had pissed you off, you’d hit him with the “die in a ditch” thing, and he looked so sad that you literally forgave him the next day. (He left out the bit about the stabbing, because stabbing doesn’t just kill people, it kills moods.)
From then on, Frank was the premium source of gossip on you and Spencer. Of course, Missy got in on it, too.
When they told Rossi about the time you’d called Reid a “shit-licking asshole fed,” the agent laughed so hard that he literally couldn’t speak for a solid minute. Was he a big fan of the anti-fed talk? Not particularly. But you had gone at it with such gusto, and with such anger, that he couldn’t help but cackle.
You knew none of this, but you knew that everyone involved seemed happier after the BAU took the case. That was good enough for you.
-
Your guard fell because of Spencer.
Wasn’t that always the way this was going to go?
While the BAU took care of your friends, Spencer took care of you. He made sure you got home safe. He kept you in the loop about everything case-relevant. He made sure you remembered to eat, which was kind of hypocritical of him, but oh well. He offered to drive you to and from the hospital, which was a fun kind of hell, because the man obeyed every traffic law ever made, but you got to bully him for it, so it all evened out in the end. He distracted you from the nightmare you were living through by offering fun facts. He made the nightmare better just by being him.
And he was the one to get Adam out.
He didn’t announce this victory to you. He just showed up one day, at the hospital, following behind Adam as the newly freed man burst into Frank’s room.
“Frank! Hey, are you good man? I’m sorry I wasn’t here sooner, I would’ve been, but you know how it is with cops.”
“Shit, dude,” Frank beamed, “All things considered, I’m not too bad.”
“Holy shit, Adam?” you let out a hospital-appropriate screech.
“Oh my god,” Missy stood from her place at Frank’s bedside to give him a hug. For a moment, she held him so tightly that it looked like Adam legitimately couldn’t breathe.
The moment she saw Spencer lingering in the background, she switched from one wire-shaped man to the next. Spencer hugged her back politely, and then, in an instant, she was onto you.
“You sons of bitches did it! You actually did it!”
“Did we?” you asked Spencer, lowering your voice as Missy, Frank, and Adam enjoyed their reunion.
“We did,” Spencer confirmed, stepping closer to you until you were side to side, whispering to each other to avoid disturbing your friends, “We found bank statements proving that this was a targeted hit, unrelated to Adam. We’ve only been able to find the unsub’s side so far, but it won’t take us long to find whoever contracted him.”
“Shit- that’s both really good and mildly fucking terrifying.”
“I know,” Spencer answered almost too quickly, but he covered it up just as fast, “But it means that Adam is a free man. It’s almost over, (Y/N).”
You let out a small exhale, trying to maintain some semblance of calm, “Almost. Thank you, Spence. For all of this, for everything-”
“You don’t need to thank me. It wasn’t just the new evidence.”
“Oh?”
“Yeah, there was this local criminology professor, maybe you’ve heard of them. They were incredibly insistent that law enforcement look deeper into the case, and because of them, the conviction vanished.”
A smile slipped onto your face as you turned to face him, “Was that a joke, Spence? You’re doing ha-ha funny jokes now?”
“I’m saying you did a good thing, here, (Y/N). Look,” he nodded towards the hospital bed, where your friends were talking, beaming, clinging to each other’s hands like they’d been shot, traumatized, and separated for months- which was an accurate summary, actually.
At your side, you let your hand slip into Spencer’s, weaving your fingers between his slender ones. You felt his grip tighten, his palm pressed tightly to yours. His hands were warm.
“We did a good thing,” you whispered.
You pulled him closer by the hand. You weren’t harsh or forceful, but Spencer still stumbled into you with what can only be described as a somewhat lovestruck grin on his face.
And then his phone rang.
You watched his face fall as he answered it. His fingers drifted away from yours. You could almost hear Hotchner’s voice on the other end. The call only lasted a few moments, but it changed everything. The air in the room grew heavy. The room fell silent.
“We found the unsub. My team is confronting him now, I-” he paused.
“They want you to go with them.”
“I have to.”
A shaky breath escaped your lungs, and you were kinda pissed at it- how dare that shaky breath reveal how you actually felt? How dare it break free from your body, alerting Spencer that your world had just spun out sideways for the millionth time that week.
You were gonna square up with that fucking breath.
But first, without saying another word, you nodded towards the door. Spencer nodded back. Like that, he was gone. You watched him go. You stared at the empty doorway after he’d left. The room remained silent.
I mean, it did until it didn’t- your friends couldn’t watch that and say nothing. I don’t think anybody could.
“Holy shit, you’re just gonna let him leave without saying goodbye?” Adam asked, looking between you and the door so quickly that you were almost surprised that his head didn’t fly off.
“He’s down bad,” Frank whispered, nodding in agreement, “Go get him.”
“I- he’s gonna be back in five minutes,” you tried to reason. It didn’t work.
“He could be back never! He might die!” Missy ran forward, gripping your shoulders.
“He’s got a bulletproof vest-”
“THERE IS SO MUCH THOSE THINGS DON’T COVER!!” Missy progressed to shaking you, slightly, “Go get him! Hurry, before it’s too late!”
“I really don’t know what you want me to say here.”
“Tell him you’re also down bad!” Frank exclaimed, no longer whispering.
“Down bad-? What the fuck does that even mean,” you said, your voice growing quieter and quieter as you left the room and headed down the hallway.
“... Y’know, they taught me what ‘down bad’ means.”
“Same.”
As your friends continued to discuss, you were already halfway down the hallway, walking as fast as you could given the hospital setting. Spencer was nowhere to be seen and you really didn’t have time to look. You really had one choice. The elevators.
You reached them just in time to watch that lanky noodle motherfucker step inside.
Giving up on decorum, you raced through the hospital corridor, yelling out apologies at every human person you passed- fortunately there weren’t too many, so it wasn’t like you caused a massive disturbance. Most people just thought you were having your rom-com finale moment. Maybe some part of you was trying to, but honestly, you weren’t really thinking about it. You were mostly just thinking, “Shit, shit, shit, I have to get in that elevator.”
And you did! You made it! You stumbled through the doors and came to a stop in the middle of that tiny box. Spencer reached out to steady you, his expression letting you in on his amused confusion. You smiled up at him, trying not to pant- and then you came to a realization.
You had no fucking clue what the hell you were going to say.
To be fair, what the fuck is a person supposed to say in that situation? “Heyyyy, my friends think I’m in love with you, so now I’m here, wanna talk about that before you head into a dangerous situation involving a hitman and many guns?”
Or perhaps, “Hey! You’re a good person even though I keep insisting you aren’t one, so I want you to know that you’re a good person before I send you off to get murdered!”
Or maybe, “You’re hot, I’m hot, wanna spend the next thirty seconds doing terrible things to this elevator that will get us forcibly removed from this hospital?”
Or even, “Hi, you just did a really nice thing for my friends, and I really appreciate it, and even though I don’t express it, I do care about you a lot, so maybe don’t die in the next few hours. For me. Please.”
In the end, you just settled for, “Hi.”
“Hi,” Spencer replied, not taking his hands from your shoulders even though you were more than steady, “Is everything okay?”
“Okay? Yeah, yeah, everything is, um. Everything’s fine. I just-” you froze again, because seriously, what the fuck could you say right then and there? What could you say that would let him know everything you wanted him to know?
“Are you sure?” he looked at you, held you with such delicate concern. You kind of wanted to partake in elevator ruining activities with Spencer until the two of you got kicked out of the hospital together.
“Yeah- yeah! Everything’s- I’m okay, it’s just,” you raised your hand, letting it hover between the two of you for a moment before you placed it over one of his, “Come out of this alive. Make sure everyone else does, too, but… come out of this okay, okay?”
Spencer hesitated. And then he wrapped his hand around yours and brought it to his lips, kissing your knuckles ever so briefly.
“I will. I promise.”
The elevator bell dinged. You’d reached the parking lot. Spencer let go of your hand with a different kind of hesitation.
“I’ll see you soon,” he offered, “Okay?”
“Okay.”
Spencer disappeared into the parking lot, dashing out of sight and into danger. You stood there, watching until the elevator doors slid shut and that infernal box pulled you back up again. The humming metal lights above and the clanking metal around you harmonized into the perfect soundscape for your empty mind.
Spencer was heading into danger, as he always did. You were returning to serve your community, as you always did. Spencer might not come back, and you would always remain, and you realized that when the case was over, he would go back to Quantico with the BAU, and you probably wouldn’t see him ever again.
And it broke your heart a little bit. Maybe more than a little bit. A little bit, perhaps.
You were a long way from, “Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, go die,” indeed.

Okay so... buckle up!
It's the late 1920s! New York City!
Emily Prentiss is a burned out socialite living below her means by day - and a hitman under the name of Mr. Reynolds for the Irish Mob by night. (No, she's also not quite sure how that happened)
One of the men she frequently works with/for - Ian Doyle - has a new hit for her: Raphael. Raphael is one of the best bookies out there, and almost the entire New York underworld uses him to do their taxes, sort their winnings, and cut the loses - but Doyle suspects him of being overly loyal to the Italians, so he wants him taken care off.
Hopefully in a way that won't tie back to him - instead he would rather look forward to a gang war, an opportunity to become an even bigger fish in this pond called NYC.
Spencer Reid is a nervous looking librarian working below his intelligence level - and Raphael, the shifty and rather successful bookie. He was found by Rossi - head of one of the big Italian families controlling the East Coast - and trained by the former bookie Jason Gideon to become one of the best. And he is. His side-business pays for his mother's care - and for Rossi's silence.
(back in the day, if you wanted information you played chess against Jason Gideon in Central Park and he'd do your books for you and trade some information - Gideon still plays chess in the park, but these days it's mostly for his own amusement)
David Rossi came from Sicily to Long Island to New York City - and he brought his family's power and influence with him. Under the cover of Emma's trattoria Rossi knows how to find people, exploit them, and make them work for him. He also knows all about good food and company, and the loyalty only a family can offer.
That's how he met Aaron Hotchner after all. Hotchner used to be the only good cop on the Upper East Side and then he started investigating the Russians. One hit on Hotchner's wife by a hired French gun, and Aaron Hotchner was a widower - one well placed tip about the whereabouts of said Frenchman from Rossi and Hotchner was a murderer. Luckily, Rossi cares about family, and so he offered Hotchner a deal: become his insider in the NYPD and Rossi could make the evidence of his crimes go away.
Hotch was just desperate enough to accept it.
(this was ten years ago, by now Rossi has to admit, that they're actually friends)
One of their favorite meet-ups? The speakeasy managed by Derek Morgan, former PI, current bootlegger. It's neutral ground, no gang or mob violence allowed if you want some piss-warm whiskey and a glass of beer, so all kinds of people end up in the former hair saloon.
When Derek Morgan was young he wanted to become a cop - and then his dad got shanked and nobody cared because he's black and suddenly... so he became a PI instead. Then the recession hit his mom's small business and suddenly his family had to get creative to make some money. But his aunt had always had a knack for homemade liquor and one thing led to another...
That's also how he got his bartender: the delicate Jennifer "JJ" Jearau. Five years ago, JJ left her small town in Pennsylvania to marry Lieutenant William LaMontaigne only to reach New York and find him murdered. Going back to the hell that was small town Pennsylvania wasn't an option, so she hired a PI - and when her trusted PI turned bootlegger, she became the woman behind the bar.
They were pretty sure a mob hit had killed her betrothed anyway - and Derek knew one day soon Will's killer would walk through his doors and JJ would get her justice.
Garcia married into the Puerto Rican part of New York quite on accident, but soon found her calling in trading information and favors - nobody would ever suspect the bubbly librarian of anything uncouth, especially since Garcia worked mostly on her own. She had no aspirations to become some big fish, mostly she wanted to be left alone and comfortable, with a measure of good friends by her side.
That's probably also why she introduced Emily Prentiss to her colleague Spencer. Both were miserably lonely people, and hey, maybe they could be miserably lonely together.
(what she kick started was a beautiful friendship and also one of the biggest misunderstandings in the history of the New York mafia - you see, neither Emily nor Spencer realized that the other had some secrets of their own)
Rambles enough? I do have some plot ideas (there's enough set up for like three plots just in this backstory) and other characters to include. (Elle is definitely a member of a gang, and unlike Garcia she does want to become a big fish) (Jordan Todd is a liar, so when she needs help she finds the best liar in town: JJ) (Seaver knows things and Rossi would rather keep her silent) But so far this is all I have for an AU I will probably never write :D
AND THANK YOU SO MUCH IRIS!! <3 <3 <3
[send me a "👀" and I'll ramble about an AU that i will probably never write]

Qualifying Rounds
After 851 submissions and 346 total schools, submissions are now officially closed. The bracket rounds will consist of 256 schools. All schools that got two or more submissions are guaranteed a place in the bracket rounds. Schools that got only one submission will have to go through qualifying rounds to get to the brackets. There are 214 schools with only one nomination, and 125 available spots in the bracket. Following the qualifiers, schools will be seeded according to the number of submissions they received.
Qualifiers will consist of 43 polls, with each poll containing five possible schools. The polls were created using a randomizer. The two schools with the most votes will immediately advance to the bracket round. The school with the third most votes has a good chance of advancing as well, but not guaranteed. There are 38 spots available for the 43 third place winners. Thus, I'll be eliminating the 4 third place winners with the least number of votes (numbers as opposed to percentages).
(I know this all seems very convoluted, but I am an English major trying to do math, this is about as well as it was ever going to go.)
I'll be posting six polls a day (except for the last day where I'll be spicing it up by posting seven!) Below the cut you can see which polls will be posted each day.

ENG
I write fanfiction because no one ships the ships I ship. 😂
Please, remember to behave yourself and unload your pent up anger somewhere else and with somebody else, better if it's a therapist. Remember: don't like don't interact. It's as easy as that. Thank you and I wish you well (I mean it). ❤
When I’m not writing I’m either plotting or beta reading for someone else (Ita/Eng).
In my stories, Originals or Fan Fictions, most of the time I deal with delicate issues and/or ship that no one, other than myself, ships; my ships can be considered problematic for many, so, I’m letting you know in advance.
I’ll admit that I write sporadic fluff too, just to practice on more things, but it’s the thought that counts, right? Jokes aside, fluff can be just as important as any other content! 🙌🏻
I must say that I also tend to write stories without ships or romantic relationships.
***
ITA
Scrivo fanfiction perché nessuno shippa le ship che shippo. 😂
Per favore, ricordate di rispettare gli spazi altrui e non insultate solo perché contrariati o non d'accordo con qualcosa. Se avete parecchia rabbia da sfogare, vi consiglio di rivolgervi a uno specialista del settore, non qui, dove le persone vogliono solo avere il loro angolino felice su internet. Se non vi piace qualcosa, passate oltre: è gratis. Grazie per l'attenzione e vi auguro tante belle cose, in generale (dico davvero). ❤
Quando non sto scrivendo sto plottando o betando.
Nelle mie storie, Originali oppure Fan Fiction, la maggior parte delle volte affronto tematiche delicate e/o ship che non shippa nessuno oltre al sottoscritto; possono essere ship e tematiche problematiche per molti, quindi ci tengo ad avvisarvi.
Scrivo fluff sporadico, lo ammetto, giusto per tenermi in allenamento su più cose, ma è il pensiero che conta, no? Ovviamente, sto scherzando.
Il fluff può essere importante tanto quanto qualsiasi altro contenuto.
Devo dire che mi capita anche di scrivere storie senza ship o relazioni romantiche.

🥭 and 🍈for the fruit asks? 👀
So this didn't show up in my inbox until now 🤦🏼♀️
I already did 🥭 here!
Who’s your blorbo and what are some of your favorite headcanons/ideas about them that repeatedly show up in your fics? Free pass to rant about blorbo opinions.
Oh man, right now the strongest brainrot is definitely all about Addison Montgomery from Grey's Anatomy. (Honourable mentions go to Diana Burnwood from Hitman and FalseSymmetry from Hermitcraft)
My main headcanon for her is that she was severely depressed in S2-3 and masking INCREDIBLY well. She's lost everyone and everything in her life, she's living in a hotel, and multiple men use her, and she's just happy and smiling and friendly? Yeah right.
I think she's desperate for love. She's not just touch-starved or affection-starved, no, she's love-starved. And that is what made her cheat on Derek, it was an act of pure desperation. She's terrified of not being seen, of being discarded, because it's happened too often in her life.
She only knows one way to love, and it's with her entire soul. That means she ends up heartbroken a lot, but she just can't help it.
For less heavy headcanons: she doesn't need her doctor's income so she donates over half of it to charities like Planned Parenthood, she'd love to ride a motorcycle but she's seen too many horrific crash victims that she doesn't dare to, her favourite food is cherry pie, and her guilty pleasures are trashy romance novels and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

one of the things i really appreciate about the mafia trilogy is the extent to which charisma & friendliness & love coexist with brutality & cruelty. i mention this constantly in the context of sal being a particularly well written villain but it applies across all the games. paulie being goofy and genuinely affectionate and clearly caring deeply about sam & tommy (especially in "a trip to the country" for example), but also beating the absolute shit out of people on collection duty to the point of serious permanent damage. joe being an incredibly close and loving friend to vito (not to mention henry, marty, etc) but frequently escalating violence without regret (the greasers arguably, accidentally killing leon, chapter 13) and seeming entirely unfazed about the drugs and about the idea shaking down struggling workers. henry showing clear affection toward vito & joe (sparing leo, saving joe from luca, keeping quiet in the hotel) but outside of that being incredibly coldhearted–the "only deadbeats do drugs" spiel, the gloating over killing pen, chapter 3 in general, not giving a shit about the rules by 1951. lou marcano, despite being a huge piece of shit, being locally famous and evidently incredibly charismatic. salieri's whole "benevolent boss" thing, no matter how bullshit it is. mike bruski being relatively friendly to vito at the junkyard only for joe to then describe him beating the shit out of a guy for spilling beer on his betting slip. luigi being a sweet, charming old man who used to be a feared hitman. hell, even vito beating up that guy at the docks at the beginning of ch3 because he wouldn't pay derek's bullshit barber fees, despite overall being motivated as a person largely by love (which he seems unable to express other than as "i will hurt people/be hurt for your sake"). obviously there are some total assholes like luca and clemente but they're presented as exceptions.
because that is, from what i've read at least, largely accurate to real life. of course you got some all around awful company but from what i've heard it seems like a lot of figures like luciano and lansky and capone did actually love their loved ones, and were charming and genuinely pleasant to hang out with if you were on their good side. and in order to work people over i guess you have to be. but in generally, people aren't card carrying supervillains. and it's nice seeing that they leaned into how normal and friendly these guys could come across when they weren't actively doing gangster things. it makes them scarier imo.
#mafia definitive edition#mafia 2#mafia 3#mafia 1#never known anyone involved in organized crime personally (that i know of) but met some real assholes who came across friendly if they had#no reason to treat you like dirt. it was freaky finding out how awful they were to some people

Also, these gems are still on tumblr for your enjoyment. 🧡💙🧡 here, here, here, and especially this one. Oooh, this one too.
the lunch table configuration | 16.6K | Explicit
When Isaac makes Derek switch lunch tables, the last thing Derek expected was to fall for Stiles.
between the click of the light and the start of the dream | 105.1K | Explicit
It's Stiles' senior year, and he's trying to concentrate on normal things - like the lacrosse championship, spring break, prom, graduation (and definitely not Derek) - when he starts having nightmares and waking up in the middle of nowhere. Oh yeah, and he's being haunted by a hag. Great.
The Hollow Moon | 180K
It’s the summer after Stiles’ first year of college, and he’s working a crappy job and dealing with nightmares and anxiety - but he’s okay, he swears. He makes it through most days without too much trouble. Then, a certain werewolf comes back into town. Which Stiles doesn’t care about, nope, not at all.
Blind Date With A Book | 30.3K
Stiles thought the Blind Date With a Book trend was a great way to drum up business for his small bookshop. He definitely thought it was a great idea after the hot guy kept returning and buying more blind dates with books.
Derek didn’t know how he kept getting set up on blind dates by his family, or why he kept going on them. The highlight of his night was when the date was over and he could go to the little bookshop in town and buy something to read for the rest of the night. He wanted to read, not date.
This Started As Only Make Believe | 44.1K | Explicit
Derek is trying (and failing) to juggle his career, coach lacrosse, and raise his 5 year old werewolf daughter. When he adds his bitter ex-wife and his daughter's slight attachment to him, Derek knows he doesn't have any time for a life of his own - and definitely no time for the super cute daycare teacher.
Past The Breakers | 40.7K
Stiles and Scott get summer jobs at the exclusive Seawolf Beach Resort, and the last thing Stiles expects is to start taking surf lessons from the hot lifeguard.
This Might Be Irony | 38.3K
Stiles and Derek have been close friends since the Hale siblings moved in next door after their parents’ death. But Derek’s in the popular group, he’s a star baseball player, and he dates popular Pep Squad captain Jennifer Blake. Stiles doesn’t have any of that, just his skateboard and a hopeless crush on Derek (oh yeah, and his Vote Lydia Martin Prom Queen button). As prom and the baseball state championship grow closer, Stiles and Derek start rekindling their friendship.
And it all begins with two white boards.
heart as black as night | 97.7K | Explicit
It's 1924, and Derek Hale is a bootlegger and runs one of the many speakeasies in New York with the help of his Pack. They don't know, however, that he's also a hitman for his Uncle Peter, a shady Omega with mafia ties to whom Derek owes a huge debt.
Stiles Stilinski is about to graduate from high school and start working at the docks when he stumbles into the Sour Wolf, a speakeasy with lively music, a glamorous jazz singer, and a certain dark, handsome, and moody bartender that Stiles can't stop thinking about.
my heart’s been offline | 58.8K
31/M/New York. Rich, lays in bed all day, likes to read (aka Derek Hale, son of an Oscar winning actress, brother of one obnoxious reality star and one rebellious fashion designer, hates the paparazzi so much he’s a recluse)
26/M/California. Boring office job, likes to read (aka Stiles Stilinski, co-owner of a 100 acre organic farm with his dad and two best friends, writer of obits for a newspaper, has absolutely no life)
Or, where Derek and Stiles meet online, and Stiles has no clue Derek’s part of a famous family.
I Ran (So Far) | 33.7K
In which Stiles’ summer starts off so badly he starts running, gets pelted by paint balls, and decides he is, in fact, going crazy if he willingly wants to hang out with Derek Hale.
But The World Won’t Stop Turning | 19.9K
Derek glances at Stiles, who is watching him with a curious expression.
“Oh shit,” Stiles exclaims as comprehension dawns on him. “Everything makes sense now. Derek, I know what the witch did, she cursed you with – “
But before Stiles is able to finish his sentence, everything fades away and Derek is surrounded by darkness.
I'll Be Seeing You | 81.4K | Explicit
In the summer of 1941, with the country on the brink of war, diner waiter Stiles meets Derek Hale, an army soldier just passing through Beacon Hills.
Babcia Knows Best | 11.8K
Stiles takes his grandmother to bingo every Thursday. Now there’s a new guy calling out the numbers, and his grandmother has decided to set them up.
Wild Horses | 78.9K | Explicit
Derek's a drifter with no home, no destination, and no will to live. Stiles works on his family's failing cattle and horse ranch while all his friends are going off to college. When Derek falls asleep in a random barn, exhausted and half-starved, he doesn't expect to wake up on the other end of the sheriff's shotgun. And Stiles sure as hell doesn't expect his dad to invite the drifter in for breakfast.
no aphrodisiac like loneliness | 19.7K | Explicit
Stiles is 27 now, with a master’s degree and a career and a house and a serious boyfriend and a life in San Francisco that doesn’t include Derek. But then Stiles unexpectedly shows back up in Beacon Hills, and Derek would recognize that scent anywhere.

How does derek escape the argents? How does he meet stiles? In spideypool sterek au!💖💖
OOUHHHH… definitely derek just waiting for the right moment.. i like to think that how he ‘escaped’ is a little mystery—the only thing they (chris and allison) have is just a grainy cctv footage of the lab in ruins and in flames and in the middle stands derek.. shifted and eyes red and blazing thru the footage.. and then letting out a big alpha roar and then a long powerful howl.. whewww….
in my mind stiles is a highschool chem professor and derek is still some hitman and derek knew of stiles bc some of his students probably pay him to scare some perverts LOL .. maybe stiles finding out abt the perverts and wanting to talk to them (and not being able to cause derek did it already) and just. derek finding him.. stalking him… little cute chem teacher by day and grins wolfishly when he sees stiles come inside his apartment and out swinging is spiderman…. Whew ‼️

Hello 🙋🏻♀️. You recommended the All for the Game series to me before, which I haven’t started yet 😅 but I WILL! But I found an awesome one and thought I should tell you about cause it’s brilliant and I keep picturing the characters as sterek… it’s called The Hitman’s Guide by Alice Winters. It’s about a scary/smart/hilarious hitman (Stiles) and a grouchy/sweet PI (Derek).
Greetings and Salutations! o/
LOL No worries on AftG, I think you have to be in the right mood for it the first time you read it XD It’s kinda heavy >.>
Oooooh~ I’ve never heard of it, but sounds intriguing, and anything with Sterek vibes is definitely something to add to my (ever growing) list of books to read :D I’ll see if I can get it on my e-reader and mayhaps shall give it a gander in the next ten years (I have to be realistic on the reading thing, because I legit have been telling my friend I’d read a book for close to 8 years now and I own it, I just... haven’t started it yet |D lol)
But thank you for the rec! Will defo download it to the e-reader if it’s available on my program! :D <3<3<3<3<3

Stiles had always been able to remember things he should, he knew things he shouldn't either.
It would take his mother dying for him to remember who he had been in a previous life, willing his flames to live to save the life of another. The added new family is only a bonus.
