This is part two of my something lost and something gained Emily x Haley x Aaron series. Once again I spent too much time on Emily and Haley but Hotch does appear, and some shenanigans ensue! Hope you enjoy this silly birthday fluff with some Emily having conflicting feelings, Aaron trying to make it up to her and Haley being her sweet self.

& that’s a wrap on hotchniss nano!

What began as a tongue-in-cheek response to a guest comment about a fic being too short resulted in a whopping 88 ficlets from veteran Hotchniss writers as well as newcomers who have never written for the pairing before. (The event even marked one writer's return to writing fanfiction after nine years!)

Thank you to . . .

@eyesontheskyline・@sequinsmile-x・@duchessas・@em-prentiss・@ssaemilyhotchner・@cloudlessly-light・@leavemurph・@starrybouquet・LadyAthanasia・MistyPeaches71・@topazangle・@fostershyperfixator

. . . for embracing the challenge of short-form writing and for making something beautiful out of these prompts and others!

Not all ficlets were cross-posted to tumblr by their authors, so I encourage you to check out the full collection on AO3, where I hope you'll also consider leaving kudos and/or a comment.

And finally, if you’re still working on a few prompt fills, no worries! November may be over, but the collection will remain open through the end of the year. 🖤

NEED A HOTCHNISS FIC INSPIRED BY THIS EDIT ASAP!!!!!!

[dilf-din]

The most important thing you can do in this life is write hyper-specific fanfiction for you and six other people. Don’t believe anything else you read.

[leavemurph]

Real

[doctoralhashimi]

actually first of all before i put more effort into this, is there any appetite for a hotchniss ficlet event

think: prompts if you want 'em (and if you really want the challenge, you can adhere to the old fandom definitions of drabble, double drabble, etc, which are increments of exactly 100 words) but otherwise a reason for you to breathe new life into abandoned snippets and orphaned WIPs or explore AUs you don't really want to otherwise commit to. maybe work and/or life is kicking your ass and you want to write but are having trouble getting back into the swing of things so you need the leeway to just experiment for experiment's sake. maybe you just want to work on dialogue, or do a deep dive into description, or expand a single scene of canon. idk! whatever you want it to be! but all under 1000 words

what i want has never been this hard

chapter 1/1

summary:

"Our... dynamic. It's been at its most functional these last few, mm." She falters, hunting for the right, un-inflammatory terminology. "I've observed... notable fluctuations in your behavior. Specifically in contexts pertaining to... how do I phrase this?"

His pen stills.

"I'm not jealous."

"Yes, you are."

"I'm... a little bothered."

"Then you should... stop."

[leavemurph]

haven’t seen you in a lifetime

chapters 1/2

Summary:

It has to stop. She needs to let Hotch be, to exist in his own orbit without her London-timezone weakness texting through the witching hour about the specific, ruinous memory of his hands. It was the one thing she swore she wouldn't do, leave only to remain tethered by a ghost limb of a relationship. Yet here she is. And he allows it.

She'd kept Hotch in her hotel room sheets until well past noon, a lazy debate about the scruff on his jaw happened between them. She likes the rasp of it between her thighs. Leave it, she'd whispered into his neck, and he'd listened.

The rapid-fire tap of his thumbs on his phone screen is a language she knows too well.

"Who's it?" She asks anyway.

"Just telling Haley I'm on my way."

One eye squints against a sudden, hollow twist in her gut. "Beth with her?"

All Hotch gives her is a look, yes. An itchy, uncomfortable growl escapes her.

-

from the start, it was the three of them, emily and the hotchners. then came the part where she died. or, you know, didn’t. faked it, because that’s what fate demanded.

they grieved her like the dead don’t come back. then she did. she walked into the life she left and found no room to stay.

Summary:

He has to make sure Emily's steak is actually rare, bleeding, mooing, because God forbid it arrive even flirting with medium. So he checks. Twice.

Then it's the cutlery. Has to be gleaming. Reflective enough that he could see the slow erosion of his will to live in it. And the plate needs to vanish the second she's done with it, only for him to realize she barely touched it. Half the steak left there. Which means the rat-dodging, shirt-sweating, subway-holding journey to the overpriced French place was entirely for show.

Bricks and Mortar (G) by @sequinsmile-x chapter 1/1 tags: house hunting, established relationship, domestic fluff

Now that it was real and within her grasp, she often got lost in the fantasy of it. She’d often lie in bed at night, pressed up against Aaron, her fingers brushing through his hair as he snored against her collarbone and she’d think about it. She’d imagine what their life would look like in a few years, she’d try to picture the faces of the children she so desperately wanted, and for the first time in her life, dreaming about it all didn’t hurt.  She just wished she knew what their home would look like for all of it. 

he knelt to the ground (G) by @leavemurph chapter 1/1: tags: drunk texting, idiots in love, open ending

There was never anything. Not even the vague shape of a thing. Not a drunken maybe. Not a middle school note with boxes to tick. No implied subtext scribbled in the margins. Just a long, unclaimed maybe. A slow-cooked almost. And now he's sealing it off. Quietly. Signing away rights to a thing that technically never existed. It's deranged, honestly, how sad that makes him.

what's in a name (T) by @ssaemilyhotchner chapter 1/1 tags: panic attacks, emotional hurt/comfort, mutual pining, post-ep: s12e01

“Shit, Emily, what time is it for you?”  “It doesn’t matter,” but she hears him curse again and she knows he’s done the math. She can picture him clearly, slipping his guilt back on like a shroud.   “What was I supposed to do?” she asks, heading it off. “Not take your call? Leave you to spiral on your own? I can’t do that, Aaron. ‘I’m having a bad day.’ Remember? Our deal didn’t stop when—” When our relationship did. When I said goodbye.

Out of the Blue (G) by @hotchnissonly chapter 1/1 tags: emily and jack, reunions, jealous beth clemmons

The voice was unmistakable—warm, and bright, and familiar in a way that was completely and utterly impossible. Because that voice belonged to a little boy with a mop of golden hair and a laugh that could shatter the darkest mood. It did not belong here, in a lobby in central London at four in the morning. That voice belonged in Virginia. That voice was in Virginia. Except it wasn’t. Because it was here and it was wrapped in her arms, solid and real and clinging to her like he’d never let go.
