Garcia and Prentiss welcoming Seaver to the BAU with a girl's night out like Prentiss was welcomed in 'Open Season', except without being called in prematurely on a case.

Prentiss, - Of things I'd rather keep in silence, I must sing.

She was back in D.C. and Emily Prentiss sang in the shower, loudly

This is amazing! I love it! Looking forward to more! Love Emily's song titles! So creative and most seem quite true to her. I love the idea of her turning to song in her loneliness.

Elle Greenaway, sometimes I think that we’re on the wrong side

[Fill: PG] Happy

[anonymous]

Elle sits in her car with her new partner, James. She is okay with being around him. He doesn’t dwell on the fact that she is a woman; he actually enjoys it because she is tough enough to not let the sexist comments get to her. They are family, so Elle does not hesitate to say what is on her mind

Ooooh, this is an interesting fill, I enjoyed it. Thanks for posting!

This is fantastic! I think that's something a lot of them struggle with - the impact they're making. and I think for Elle, having moved on for the reasons she did, would feel this especially.

Jessica Brooks, aftermath of Haley’s death

[FILL] Reason 1/1

[anonymous]

Aaron was a battered mess, and she came so close to adding another injury to his face; it was all she could do, standing in the hospital hallway to stop herself launching herself at him and attacking him, scratching at his face and tearing at his flesh and screaming at him that it was his fault.

But she stopped herself, because even through the anger, and the resentment, and the grief that was manifesting like two hands punched through her chest and trying to pull apart her ribcage, she knew it wasn’t his fault. Wheels had been set in motion that were beyond Aaron’s control, things he could have changed and things that his actions made no difference to.

And even, she reasoned to herself as she sat on her sofa with a sleeping Jack curled in her lap, if it was Aaron’s fault in any way, he didn’t deserve it. Haley had been his world, his love, even through a divorce that Jessica was sure might have actually saved their relationship in the end

This so much. Hotch and Haley were in love to the end, and I don't doubt that Jessica knew this, and that's why she didn't go off on Hotch, because she knew how destroying her sister's death was for him.

I never saw her as the ebil in-law calling out Aaron's ebilness - in Machismo she got Aaron to take time off to spend with her sister and nephew.

Thank you for writing.

...and I like this observation: "wondering if it was healthy for Jack to see people hiding their pain, "

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Elle Greenaway, I wish I could buy back the woman you stole

Fill: Vigilance (FRT)

[anonymous]

She doesn't leave the apartment

This is wonderful, I love the almost stilted flow of the narrative.

You know, I never really liked Elle as a character on CM but I find I love reading her in fic! This is amazing and I love how you completely immersed yourself in her headspace to write this! Great job!
