    Summary

    After Halloween, she doesn’t think about that night too often. It was fun; now it’s over. They didn’t exchange phone numbers or anything of the sort.

    As a matter of fact, she doesn’t remember saying goodbye to Rio at all, or how she got home. She woke up in her own bed the next morning, and that was it.

    She doesn’t dwell on it. She doesn’t particularly like to dwell on anything.

    Until eight weeks later, when she’s sitting in her bathroom, clutching a pregnancy test.

    A positive pregnancy test.

    ------------------------------------------------------

    Rio is Death. Agatha is a regular human who finds herself unexpectedly pregnant after a one-night stand with a mysterious woman she meets in an eerie bar on Halloween.

    Summary

    “Fate etched your demise in the fabric of eternity itself,” Rio says, sweeping her arms open; spiders skitter from the dark creases of her cloak. “It was written eons before your birth. Now – the time has come to – ”

    “The end is nigh, sinner!” says a familiar voice behind her. “It is I, Lady Death! Ooga booga!”

    If Rio had eyes right now, they’d be twitching. Slowly, she turns to take in the unwelcome (if increasingly-frequent) sight: Agatha, holding a Ghostface Halloween mask over her ghostly face. Draped over her head in a paltry imitation of Rio’s cloak is a sequined black shawl – Billy’s, Rio guesses. She knows that the kid’s been trying his hand at drag recently.

    “Oh, this is so embarrassing,” Agatha says, flicking a finger in Rio’s direction. “One of us is gonna have to change.”

    ------------------------

    Just when a ghostly Agatha decides she's ready to give into Rio's centuries-long pursuit, Rio swears that she's finally done with the pursuing.

    Summary

    They’re staring at each other over the now evenly stacked forms at the table. Agatha’s mask has fully slipped and Rio is fascinated by what’s underneath it, an unruly sort of anger, a sharp passion. Agatha looks like she wants to tear Rio from limb to limb. And Rio, god help her, would probably let her.

    “Moving on to property taxes…”

    “Jesus fucking Christ,” Agatha lets out. “Don’t you have a life?”

    Rio is the best IRS agent in her field. Agatha refuses to pay her taxes. A love story for the ages.

    Summary

    Emily knew, now, that JJ wasn't really talking about the BAU. She was talking around it, using the team as a surrogate to express something else entirely. Something she and Emily hadn't touched in years. That they had barely dared to countenance even as it was happening.

    A rewrite of "it gives me you", from Emily’s perspective.
