Hi becca! Hope you’re doing so so good, my fav Hotch fic writer <3
I was thinking about a spare key to Aaron getting to know reader more seriously as in her meeting Jack and Jack deciding she’s either going to be his dad’s girlfriend or his girlfriend. Maybe fluff with a bit of fun? I adore the idea of Jack keeping Aaron away from her because she’s his and not his dad’s. Thank you very much! I love your yap posts
Hi anon! THANK YOUUU!!!! I'm doing great so far. My semester just started back up today.

TALK LATER, KISS NOW ༄ s. reid x reader
summary: you’re finally about to sleep with your boyfriend spencer, but for some reason, he can’t seem to stop talking. you shut him up the best way you know how. genre: fluff, smut-adjacent word count: 0.6k tags/warnings: glasses!reid, giggly makeout in bed, yapper!spencer, undressing each other, (implied?) dry humping lol, spencer is kinda giving inexperienced vibes, fade-to-black smut, no use of y/n. 18+ MDNI prompt: here
main event post ༄ whisper week masterlist
You don’t mean to laugh into Spencer’s mouth, but his glasses fog when he exhales and suddenly, you just can’t help it.
“Sorry,” he says, already breathless, pushing them up his nose with the inside of his wrist. “It’s just—there’s a temperature differential and the humidity, it—”
“Spencer.” You tug him back down to you by his tie. “Just kiss me.”
He does, eager and sweet, all soft lips and careful hands. The edge of his frames taps your cheekbone and you grin against him. He pulls back a millimeter.
“Should I—um, glasses off or… I mean, I can see you better when wearing them, which is frankly a very compelling argument for keeping them on, but they’re kind of in the way and at risk of smudging and also—”
Hii I was wondering if you can do a Spencer Reid x reader one shot where reader gets in a argument with one of the bau members (you can choose which) and so reader storms off but as she does she says “Spencer let’s go” and then he gets up and follows her! I hope that made sense I love you!!
౨ৎ⋆˚࿔ IN WHICH spencer is the epitome of a puppy boyfriend
you were absolutely fuming.
standing in the middle of the bullpen, for everyone to see, with your arms crossed defiantly as you talked back to your unit chief. not a very smart decision, you thought, because after years working at the bureau within the BAU, you knew one thing.
do not mess with aaron hotchner.
over time, hotch had become more than just your supervisor. you’d grown fond of his cold puns and rare smiles, that only you knew how to get out of him. words would probably not be enough to describe the relationship you two shared. but he was protective of you, his young protegee with a viper tongue and an outstanding ability to make anyone around feel small - except him, of course.
and you, well… you respected him, with his stoic behaviour and self destructive tendencies when it came to work.
but right now, none of that mattered. your brain was practically boiling and it showed, in the way your knuckles tightened around your profiler badge, and a shade of crimson tinted your face.
usually, spencer liked that color. not that red was his favourite, really, but because when your cheeks blushed, it was his work. the first time you’d kissed, a soft, stolen brush of your lips against his in the file room, the burgundy shirt you wore almost matched the color of your cheeks.
and he loved that.
however, he loathed the situation you were putting yourself into right now. like the feeling of nails on a chalkboard, your voice, usually so sweet and honey-like, made him wince.
“i cannot believe you would let me go in there without a warning !” you shouted, throwing your hands up in the air in frustration, as if you weren’t making fool out of yourself already. “we’re a team. okay ? a team. what kind of unit chief lets their agent do that ?”
hotch didn’t move, didn’t blink. practically unimpressed, his dark eyes looked at you in a way that made you feel small. you felt yourself visibly shrinking back into the little girl whose biggest fear was disappointment, and hated every second of it.
but that didn’t stop you from keeping the show going.
you couldn’t stop the words from coming out. like knives that had been sharpened for years, it felt good to finally attack and use them. but when silence met you in return, you were quick to change your mind.
hotch wasn’t going to crumble down like you did, he was better than that. he’d probably just raise a brow and ask “are you done ?” in a dismissive tone, and you couldn’t handle that. it would be too embarrassing.
so, you turned around and found your boyfriend’s gaze, like an anchor in your surging sea of anger. spencer was an extension of you, your other half. and you couldn’t drag him down like this. embarrassing yourself was enough.
“spencer,“ you called out, your voice still coming out a bit too loud from the outburst. “let’s go”
he perked up, automatically turning around you and trying to ignore the fact that all eyes were on him now.
right then, he was up and following you as you pushed the door of the bullpen open. you shut it a little too forcefully behind the two of you, a last statement that would hopefully hit hotch in some sort of way.
“hey, love,” spencer exhaled, out of breath as he ran after you.
you didn’t say anything, too overwhelmed to get anything out at this point. the empty hallways of the building were cold, and you slowed down to allow him to catch up with you.
with a warm, comforting hand against the small of your back, he walked along in silence. because no matter what happened, spencer would follow you.
anytime, and anywhere.
subtle diamond rings - aaron hotchner
summary: when your coworkers discover the ring on your finger, they are immediately driven to ssa hotchner's office to ask him who your husband is. wc: 0.9k+
A hand on your forehead, deep in thought. Eyebrows furrowed, trying to make out something you had written down in a rush two days ago. Your co-workers, jaws dropped and eyes wide. A ring on your left hand, with the biggest diamond they had every seen. You hadn’t noticed your mistake yet, and they unanimously decided to give you one last moment of peace before chaos would ensue.
Sighing, you brought both your hands down to grip the corners of the paper you were trying to read from, but your attention was attracted to the light catching on your diamond ring. You smiled fondly at the ring on your finger before your eyes widened. Inhaling deeply, you let go of the document in front of you, trying to delicately slide the ring off your finger. Before you could slip it into a safe pocket of your purse, a voice was heard across from you.
“Subtle.”
Your head snapped up at the sound of Derek’s voice. “Good thing no one saw you take that ring off, am I right?” Emily added, dragging her chair closer to Derek. “That would be a disaster.” Added Spencer, leaning on the back of Derek’s chair. You swallowed thickly, at a complete loss for words, your fist gently closing around the beautiful ring. “I… Please don’t tell anyone.” You found yourself begging, but Derek only grinned. “Don’t tell anyone what?”
You froze.
There was no possibility you could ever lie to the person that voice belonged to, so you supposed if you said nothing, you’d be safe. Penelope Garcia walked in front of your desk, looking at you with arms crossed over her chest. You cleared your throat nervously, blinking slowly at the blonde. “I-uh.”
“Put it on, show it to her.”
“Put what on?”
You opened your palm, letting Penelope see the jewellery in your hand. “You’re engaged!?” You opened your mouth, not wanting to betray them any further, but it seemed that your face had revealed enough. “Married?” Spencer whispered, his mouth agape, shocked that you’d hidden a committed relationship for the course of an engagement too.
“Let’s go ask Hotch who it is!” Decided Penelope, prompting Emily and Derek to stand up in unison. “Wait, why Hotch?” “He’s the supervisory special agent. They usually know those details about their agents.” Explained Spencer. “Oh.” Emily and Derek both shot you the same look, squinting their eyes at you suspiciously. “Right, let’s go ask!” You announced, pushing yourself off your chair as you slid your ring back on.
You watched as Penelope, Derek and Spencer walked ahead of you, but Emily stayed back, her hand curling around your wrist. “Hotch?” She whispered. You blankly stared at her, guilt painting your face. “Let’s go ask Hotch.” You repeated.
You pushed past the agents lingering in Hotch’s doorway, moving to sit on the leather couch in his office. Derek and Spencer’s heads moved to watch in astonishment as you slumped on your boss’ sofa, chewing on your bottom lip worriedly. “You know, I’m really starting to believe my suspicion is correct.” Noted Derek, before turning back to SSA Hotchner. “What suspicion?” Questioned Penelope.
“What are the five of you doing in here?” Hotch sighed, and you turned your gaze to stare at your lap, distracting yourself from everyone’s stares. “We want to know who y/n’s husband is.” Penelope declared, pointing at you. Hotch slowly turned his attention to you, and you swallowed thickly, shrugging your shoulders. “I forgot to take my ring off this morning.”
As though Hotch forgot he hadn’t been discovered yet, a fond smile made its way onto his face, causing your eyes to widen. “It is him.” Whispered Spencer with horror. “Him like Hotch?” Penelope looked around frantically, watching as you cringed softly, eyes still locked on your boss, sharing a look too intimate for him to only be your boss.
Your husband.
“Hotch is him!?” She shrieked, attracting the attention of JJ, who had been looking for the team, trying to call them up to the conference room. “Hey, what’s going on?” She asked softly, poking her head into the office. “These two traitors are married.” JJ laughed softly, but when no one broke character, she began looking around in confusion. “Wait, seriously?”
“Yes, agent l/n and I are married. Or, agent Hotchner, should I say?" At the squeals that came from your coworkers at the confirmation, he playfully rolled his eyes. "We have been before Prentiss joined this team. Have been in a relationship since before Reid joined. We got engaged somewhere in between.” Penelope screamed at your husband’s confession, her jaw dropping to the floor. “It seems silly to slip up now.” You mumbled, spinning the ring around on your finger. JJ gasped again, moving past her coworkers to get a closer look at the ring on your finger.
“This must have cost a fortune.” She spoke in a gossipy tone, smiling wildly when she looked up at you. “Well, it was less of a fortune back then than it would be now. Inflation. Now everyone get out of my office.”
“Oh! We have a case, by the way.” Your coworkers dispersed into the hallway outside and Hotch travelled across the room, shutting his door closed for a moment alone with you. “I’m sorry, I forgot.” You apologised, bringing up your hands up to rest on Aaron’s abdomen. He tilted his head to the side with a smile, leaning down to press a gentle kiss to your lips. “Don’t be sorry. I’m happy you get to wear it now.” “I forgot to take it off after dinner.” You reiterated.
“Well, if I remember correctly, we were quite busy after dinner last night.” You felt your cheeks go hot, and reached over to open the door of Hotch’s office. “Sweetheart?” You looked back at your husband, eyebrows raised expectantly.
“Happy anniversary.”

You're pretty sure that showering with Bucky Barnes qualifies as an objectively terrible idea—one that even your most chaotic decisions would respectfully step aside for.
Because this? This is not a rational choice. Not when your hand is currently gliding over his insanely unfair chest, slick with soap and hot water, steam curling around you both like a heavy, illicit fog. Not when the Bluetooth speaker on the bathroom sink is still playing R&B like the two of you aren't committing a federal offense under the team compound's roof. And definitely not when your palm wraps around him, fingers squeezing, slow and deliberate, and Bucky's head thunks back against the tile with a groan that does dangerous things to your already-frayed nervous system.
This is the staff quarters' shower. You're the manager. He's... him. Super soldier. Congressional headache. Thunderbolt-in-chief. And yet, here you are—naked, wet, and trying not to combust as his hips buck into your hand like your touch is the only thing tethering him to Earth.
"Jesus, baby…" he grits out, voice low and rough like he hasn't slept in a week and now you're the one ruining him. The thrill of it, the secrecy, the proximity, the fact that Yelena could burst in at any second, makes your pulse skip. You bite down on a groan, nipping the skin just below his ear like it might save you from collapsing entirely.
"Gotta be quiet, Barnes," you murmur, because someone has to be responsible here and it sure as hell isn't going to be him. "Wouldn't want the team to know their super soldier is being... what's the word? Inappropriate?"

warnings: smut, pinv, public-ish, under the blanker action!
********
The soft hum of the jet was the only sound filling the cabin, everyone else blissfully asleep in their seats. The lights were dimmed, casting long shadows along the aisle. You sat perched on Aaron's lap, straddling him beneath a heavy blanket that draped innocently over both of you. From the outside, no one would suspect a thing.
Hotch's hands gripped your hips firmly, guiding your slow, careful movements. You faced away from him, your back arched just enough for him to admire the subtle roll of your hips as you sank down on his cock again and again. Reverse cowgirl under the cover of darkness.
"Just like that, sweetheart," he whispered, voice low and strained in your ear. "Nice and slow. Quiet for me."
You bit your lip to suppress a moan, feeling him stretch you open with each lazy thrust. The thrill of being surrounded by your sleeping teammates made your pulse quicken. Your breath hitched as his fingers slid around, sneaking beneath your panties to circle your clit with slow, deliberate strokes.
"A-ahh... Aaron," you whimpered softly, the sound barely audible over the quiet drone of the engines.
"Shh," he cooed, voice warm and commanding. "Don't wake them, honey. You can take it, can't you?"
Your head nodded quickly, teeth sinking into your bottom lip to muffle the high-pitched noises threatening to spill out. His thumb pressed firmer, swirling tight circles around your swollen nub, sending jolts of pleasure through your core. You clenched around him involuntarily, earning a soft, broken grunt from behind you.
"Fuck, baby," he breathed. "You're so tight... feel so good."
The blanket shifted slightly as you adjusted your rhythm, grinding down on him, his cock buried to the hilt. The friction against your clit made your thighs tremble. Your breath grew more ragged, your hands gripping his knees beneath you for balance.
"Mmmph... A-Aaron... s-so close," you whispered, your voice a shaky whine.
He leaned forward, his lips brushing the shell of your ear. "Come for me, sweetheart. Nice and quiet. Be my good girl."
Your stomach tightened, heat blooming low in your belly as you finally tipped over the edge. Your body trembled, spasming softly as waves of pleasure rolled through you. Your orgasm pulsed around him, your face buried into your arm to muffle your soft, choked moans.
Aaron's hands gripped your hips tighter, his own release following shortly after, deep inside you with a low, guttural groan. His chest pressed flush against your back, and you felt his low rasp of breath, heavy and broken, right against your ear.
Around you, the rest of the team remained blissfully unaware, their soft snores filling the quiet cabin. You felt his lips press a gentle kiss between your shoulder blades.
"Good girl," he whispered, voice still thick with satisfaction. "So perfect."

While the cool marble sink feels good against your fingers, it does very little to ease the room's apparently incessant spinning. The vanilla scent circulating in the air only adds to the nauseating feeling. Your reflection in the bathroom mirror is concerning, bordering on crazy, and you cannot, try as you might, remember how you got here. Well... This bar? Yes. This situation? Nope.
Insubordination -A.H
Aaron Hotchner x coworker!reader
The second you step through the door, you feel every head in the room turn.
Late. Unapologetically. And very obviously not wearing a bra under your white button-up.
Your nipples are stiff from the chilled air, outlined like punctuation marks under the thin cotton. Subtle was never your strong suit. Neither was following orders. Which, unfortunately, happens to be Aaron Hotchner’s kink and his trigger.
Your heels click through the silence as you make your way to the only open seat—directly across from him. You don’t apologize. You just drop into the chair, toss your hair over your shoulder, and casually fold your arms under your chest.
Which, of course, only pushes them up more.
“Glad you could join us,” he mutters, without lifting his gaze. “Though I’d suggest reviewing Bureau expectations regarding punctuality.”
You smile sweetly. “I’ll study extra hard.”
Someone behind you coughs to cover a laugh. His eyes flicker up—just for a second—and land squarely on your smirk. His jaw tenses.
You are so going to pay for this later.
9:47 AM – Meeting Adjourned
Hotch closes the folder with a decisive snap.
“That’s all,” he says curtly, standing. “The unsub profile will be distributed by noon. And in the future—” his eyes scan the room, lingering only briefly on you “—let’s remember how important discipline and professionalism are in this line of work.”
There it is. That sharp, clipped delivery. The verbal equivalent of a warning shot. You stay seated, watching as agents file out, mumbling their goodbyes and tapping their watches. Hotch busies himself at the head of the table, back turned, stacking files like he hasn’t just been half-hard for the past forty minutes.
You rise slowly, heels clicking softly as you cross the room behind him.
Then—pinch.
Right on the sensitive spot at his side, just above the waistband of his slacks.
He jumps. Actually jumps.
Spins on instinct, dropping the file in his hand as he glares down at you. “Jesus Christ,” he hisses under his breath. “What the hell was that?”
You tilt your head, all innocence and venom. “Sorry. Just checking if that stick was still up your ass.”

The room is dark.
You never let Dean turn on the overheads, there are no windows in the bunker, and you angle yourself to stay away from the hallway light—leaking under the door—so it’s as dark as you can possibly make it.
It’s still not enough.
Your eyes aren’t your friend, and they adjust. You can still hear your skin slapping against Dean’s as he guides you up and down his cock, and his groans of your name whenever you squeeze around him or scratch at his chest. You can feel him, everywhere, and it’s the best, cruelest thing in the world.

“Okay, I’m done talking about this.” You stood abruptly from the kitchen table, both hands raised in surrender—not the calm kind. The kind that came after a long, thankless day and a disappointment too many.
Aaron stayed seated for a second, then pushed back his chair and followed you out of the kitchen. But you didn’t look back as you walked away, your socked feet padding softly against the hardwood.
"No," he said, following you into the hallway. "We need to talk about this."
“Aaron, I get it,” you snapped, not looking back. “You’re too busy to come.” You didn’t sound like you “got it” at all.
This was supposed to be something—a major trial, and you’d asked, just once, if he could be there. You’d seen him hesitate earlier, mumbling about the BAU’s schedule and not being sure it would work out.
Between your clients snapping at you, case files mysteriously vanishing from your desk, and the scalding coffee that had spilled down your blouse in the courthouse lobby, you were at your limit. And Hotch’s hesitation—his quiet, infuriating "I’m not sure if it’ll work with work"—had been the tipping point.
“I’ll try to make it,” he offered quietly behind you. His hand settled on your shoulder.
You didn’t even hesitate. Your shoulder shifted just enough to let his hand fall away as you walked into the bathroom. The overhead light flicked on. You avoided looking at him directly, reaching up instead to remove the clips from your hair with trembling fingers.
Click. One pin. Click. Another. Each clink against the porcelain sink echoed louder than it should have.
When your eyes finally found his in the mirror, your voice was soft—but the chill in it was unmistakable.

An annoyed huff left Aaron as he pulled up to the front of the precinct. "You're kidding."
News stations, reporters, and interested civilians flocked the entrance, cameras rolling and snapping pictures the second the SUVs came into view.
You frowned, your eyes quickly scanning for an alternate route. "There isn't a back way?"
"Unfortunately not." Cutting the engine, he moved fast, swiftly unbuckling his seatbelt. You instantly followed suit, zipping up your FBI windbreaker. "Let's go."
Reporters were shouting a flurry of questions before you had properly exited the vehicle. Your unsub had been high profile; a local, popular philanthropist. A fraud nonetheless, using his 'compelling' platform to take advantage of those vulnerable. Convincing them he could help, and then using their weaknesses to a deathly advantage. Evidently, word of his arrest spread like wildfire.
Aaron waited for you at the front of the car, lingering until you were promptly at his side before catching up to the others. He quickly oversaw Dave and JJ pry the guy out, acting as a protective barrier from the crowd - before following.
That meant you were on the back end; Dave and JJ leading the way, then Aaron, and then yourself.
Your strategic, collective job was easy; get through the crowd and use the simple words no comment. It was no problem avoiding their questions, a press conference to be done at a later time to compensate. As for right now, the only concern was getting the guy inside.
After a moment, amidst the frenzy, Aaron's hand gingerly moved behind him, his fingers stretching blindly for yours.
Your heart warmed at the gesture, especially since you were feeling the crowd closing in, but hesitated. Aaron's aversion to public displays in the field rarely faltered, set on the intention of keeping it behind closed doors. You knew that, and you respected that, and you didn’t want him to compromise on it unthinkingly.
Your eyes lifted in the interest of meeting his, to confirm the exposed contact, in front of cameras, but he didn't turn his head. His hand hung waiting as he continuously moved forward, unwavering and unyielding until your fingers brushed against his.
You firmly grasped onto his hand, the warmth of his skin grounding you in the surrounding chaos. Aaron's hand squeezed yours once, twice. A silent: Stay close. Don’t let go. He even pulled you toward him, right to his back, ensuring you were securely within his proximity.
It was disorientating. The flashing of lights, strongly illuminated due to the dark of night. Intertwining, hurried voices - you could barely hear Aaron or the others state no comment. Some knew to keep a favorable distance, but one anchor did manage to bump right into you, his microphone hitting your arm. Not too harshly, but enough to be noticeable.
Aaron felt it, the abrupt jolt of your arm. His head snapped back, and the anchor earned himself a hardened glare in return, receiving a sharp, "careful."
He cowered, shrinking back and blending into his fellow over enthusiastic colleagues.
Aaron's gaze met yours, concern hidden behind his unit chief demeanor. Only you could interpret their soft, discrete meaning. You alright, sweetheart?
You offered a small nod, softening your eyes in response. Further proof that you were in fact: Fine.
His hand tightened its hold, only letting up when the team reached the front doors. He stepped aside, using his backside to hold it open. He ushered you in, his hand shifting to the small of your back momentarily and letting the doors close behind him.
As you followed JJ and Dave into holding, Aaron caught up to you rather quickly - close enough that his shoulder was bumping into yours. Hidden between your sides, his gentle fingers intertwined with yours once more.
