Summary
And Emily felt certain that JJ had never mastered the art of losing everything with nothing but resigned quiet dignity.
“For what it’s worth, it seemed really good.”
Sometimes, she wondered if it was all she knew how to do.

Summary
Jennifer Jareau is three weeks into the BAU when a serial killer case drags her back to rural Pennsylvania — and straight into the childhood she's spent a decade burying.
Emily Prentiss is fifty-two, freshly back from London, and filling in as Section Chief. They meet at a bar on a Friday night. What they don't expect is Monday morning and a profile that hits too close to home that irrevocably changes everything.
There's monsters we hunt and the ones we grew up with. About the difference between surviving something and healing from it. About what happens when the puzzle comes together and the picture it makes is your own face.

Summary
In a moment of panic, Emily volunteers her best friend and roommate JJ to pretend to date her for one deeply chaotic Christmas break with her overbearing mother. It should have been simple - hold hands, smile for pictures, don’t let JJ find out about her very real crush.
Unfortunately for Emily, it wouldn't be that easy. It doesn’t take long at all for the line between fake and real to start blurring, her feelings for JJ growing stronger every day, getting closer and closer to revealing themselves.

Summary
The desire wasn't sudden, but pinned against a pool table, something gave way.
After decades of pretending it isn't there, hunger becomes a revelation. One night turns into honesty, girl's night with a game show, and a quiet reckoning of everything they didn't get to have.
The team has watched from the sidelines for years, but now they get front-row seats.
Behind closed doors, they learn what being taken apart feels like, how something so close to sin can be the nearest thing to heaven that either of them may ever know.

Summary
In the wake of Will’s death, JJ has everyone in her corner… except her oldest friend. Despite their THC-laced Cheetos night and the impassioned confession “it gives me you,” Emily is more distant than ever.
Meanwhile, Emily is holding everyone at arm’s length… especially the woman she loves. Two decades of suppressed feelings take a backseat to dismantling BAUgate for good and giving JJ space to grieve.
In our take on Season 18 of Criminal Minds Evolution (that will lack so much plot at times because we want these two idiots to finally be together), will JJ and Emily find their way home to each other? Or are they destined to dance around and around, never being brave enough to admit their feelings or act on them?

Summary
They keep walking. JJ thinks of Paris. That one night—late November, raining, everything soaked to the bone. JJ had forgotten the key to their rented apartment. Emily, without hesitation, had pulled a bobby pin from JJ’s hair and knelt down at the lock like she’d been waiting for this moment all of her life. She looked up at her, eyes bright, and said, “Told you I was built for a life of crime.”
JJ had laughed so hard she choked on the rain.
God, she’d forgotten how good it feels to laugh with Emily. It’s like warming your hands on a stove you thought was broken.
She says, “I have tea at home. And Henry was asking for you. You could—”
Emily cuts in gently, a small smile playing on her lips. “You know I will, Jayj.”

or: Emily and JJ after 18x03, slowly figuring out what they mean to each other.

Summary
“Room for two?” Emily’s voice was quiet but sure.
The clerk nodded, sliding a heavy key across the worn wood.
“304.”
Emily smiled her thanks, then turned back to JJ, her lips parted and eyes wide.
JJ reached out for her hand this time as they walked towards the elevator.
When Emily pressed the button, JJ interlaced their fingers - slow, deliberate.
