Summary
"Watch your step, okay?" Emily calls up, squinting against the glare of the snow as Hotch moves across the roof, patting the reindeer decoration he's just arranged with what she could only call misplaced pride.
"I've climbed trickier spots in worse weather."
"Yes, yes, former superhero agent man, we all know," she fires back, hands cupped around her mouth, her boots crunching against the snow. "Doesn't mean you need to fall and break your neck for a Christmas decoration."

Summary
"I want you out of my office. And I don't want to see you for the next two days."
And unfortunately, it still takes two to tango.
"If you're trying to make a statement with this suspension, ma'am, might as well make it a week. Really let me know you mean business."
That earns him a double-take and—oh, look at that—an ant-sized frown Emily didn't quite manage to keep in check. Add a throat clear for good measure, because this train wreck needs a little handholding to stay on track. Wait a minute—is he actually trying to provoke her? Is he out of his goddamn mind? Seriously, did someone spike his water or what? The corners of her mouth twitch into something close to a smile, but her tone stays razor-sharp. "Two weeks," she offers—decides. Yeah, no, fuck him. And this. "Another word, and we make it permanent."

Summary
"They met on a Thursday that would have otherwise been boring and unremarkable—just another Thursday, just another day."
What if they met in the summer of '94? What if they fell in love and fell apart by the end of August? What if Aaron left Emily with more than just the memory of their romance?
What if, eleven years later, she walks into the BAU with her transfer letter and the same dark, pleading eyes that he fell in love with years ago, hiding a secret that will change his life forever?

Summary
This doesn't line up with his profile—not even in the same universe.
Foyet doesn't want to kill Hotch. Foyet wants to destroy him. That part's clear.
But what he jotted down under Haley's name in his address book? Makes zero sense. Not a single ounce of clarity. They've got Haley and Jack in the hospital, and sure, there's a relief in knowing they're safe, but he can't shake the feeling that something's wrong. It's like a gut punch that keeps twisting.
I'll let you pick.

Or the one where Foyet hands Hotch a choice, and somehow it’s even worse.
