Title:
A Road, Long and WindingFandom: Criminal Minds
Pairing: Aaron Hotchner/John Blackwolf
Rating: Explicit
Spoilers: Set between 3.16 Elephant's Memory and 3.18 The Crossing.
Summary: Finalizing the divorce has left Hotch adrift and dangerously unfocused. When a case brings the BAU back to New Mexico, he finds himself thinking about an old acquaintance--and maybe, taking some time to sort out all the stuff in his head.
Notes: This is a sequel to
The Same Place (
AO3.) You don't need to read that one to read this, however. Just know that Hotch had a one night stand with John Blackwolf about a year before this story takes place, and has not been in contact with him since that time.
Thank you to
kageygirl and
annundriel for betaing. Dedicated to
smittywing, who spent hours with me discussing my ideas about this story, Hotch's characterization, and exactly who John Blackwolf is. Thank you so much for indulging my passion. <3
