Summary
“Does it feel like it’s suffocating you too?” JJ’s jaw worked uncomfortably as she spoke. Her voice sounded so brittle, like it might crack at any moment.
Emily swallowed. The haunted look in JJ’s crystalline eyes, she knew, was being reflected right back in her own.
“Yes,” she said, instead, the word like the sharp side of a blade. “Sometimes I find myself… back there. Almost like it’s safer there than it is here.”
Or, JJ and Emily try to rebuild their lives after the crash.

Summary
JJ sighed, her fondness for Emily waring with her ever-ignited irritation at the woman’s bitch mother.
“She called to check if you had three hours to come have Satan's lunch with her. I told her you were most definitely very busy. Which means –
“The devil is coming here—Shit.” Emily’s whole-body sagging in understanding.

I want to write about Jemily and how I think they would have been if the assholes in charge of Cannon weren't sexist, homophobic dicks intent on firing their actors. I'll be writing the kinks around them, not them around the kinks so, they absolutely have conversations and you will be reading about them washing their hands because my neuro-spicy everything brain has a list of things I can't stand in a fic and no one washing their hands is one of them. Slow burn but not that slow, just enough time jumps to make it seem believable cause wtf do you mean everyone isn't demi-sexual? Will not be writing about cases you can go watch the episode for but I'll probably reference relevant ones. These characters are heavily traumatised and I'll absolutely make it everyone's problem. Don't worry, I can't stand a hurt no comfort so- Trauma, trauma, kink, kink, Trauma. Smatterings of comfort. -

Summary
Emily needs the quiet. Peace, to distract her from what's lurking underneath the surface, waiting patiently for her control to slip so it can rear up to swallow her, have her whole. She's never come around to figure out how to deal with what happened to her and the many ways she had happened to others – she'd just leave, move on, always on the run.
It is her lack of attachment that makes her so effective, she thinks. The conscience she can turn on and off like a switch.
The irreparable damage Ian Doyle has done to her humanity.
The final nail Lauren Reynolds hammered into the coffin housing her soul.
A semi-retelling of the series with Emily as its focal character. Includes a grimmer take on Emily's backstory and an alternate exploration of her trauma and its consequences.
Updates sporadically.

Summary
The day after JJ's wedding, Emily Prentiss and Spencer Reid went missing.
That was three months ago.
Three months ago, The BAU arrived at the crime scene to find a pool of blood and a bloody handprint - which ended up being their only information throughout the entire investigation. The case went cold, the agents were presumed dead, and the BAU fell apart.
After ninety days of nothing, they received new information - Spencer and Emily were dropped off at the hospital.
Recovery is hard. It's even harder when the torturers are still out there. How can the BAU find the unsubs while managing two broken victims?
[UPDATING SOON, THE END OF THE SEMESTER IS HERE AND IT HAS ME BUSY!]

Summary
"Compulsory Heterosexuality had been the bane of her adolescent years. It caused immense frustration and confusion for her, amongst the other struggles of puberty and her own personal life. Her mother and her strict, traditional ways along with her lack of loving nature didn’t make it painless for her either.
She found it almost funny, how the mere thought of a woman provided more of a comfort than what a man could ever do in the flesh."
"Wildflower" By Billie Eilish heavily influenced my expectations as to what this fic will be, I'm hoping to insert references here and there as I feel like that song really captures the extended periods of longing Emily has had for JJ.
I'm planning on writing some explicit scenes later on and will change the tags and rating when that's done. I've added some tags just in case, as I'm not sure as to how detailed I will be going into Emily's mental health struggles.hope you enjoy lovelies <3

Summary
“You didn’t call. You didn’t text.” Her voice cracks and she shuts up, swallows until the shakiness in her throat disappears. Her whole body is jittery, trembling as she looks at him. Her pulse roars in her ears, drowning out the soft justifications that try to fall from his lips.
Aaron wets his dry lips. “I’m so sorry,” he whispers. He steps forward to close the distance between them. Emily looks away. Step back, she tells herself, but she can’t. She’s spent so long craving his presence, and now that he’s here her feet are frozen in place.
Scratch is finally down, but Aaron doesn't come home. Not until Emily runs into him by accident.

Summary
"Look, I..." he starts, then tries again. "You shouldn't have to sit out here. I can just grab a guest room. It's fine."
This time, Emily pauses her typing. She doesn't look at him, but her head tilts slightly. "It's okay, Aaron." Her voice is flat. "Enjoy the twenty-thousand-dollar mattress and my eight-hundred-thread-count sateen sheets. The weighted blanket is calibrated for optimal sleep cycles." She finally glances up, her eyes meeting his over the top of the iPad. "You've earned it."
He picks up his sandwich again, if only to have something to do with his hands. He takes another awkward bite.
"The deal is," she continues, her gaze dropping back to her work, "Haley gets the room when you're over. And I get the room when I... well."
He stops chewing.
"... Need the room."
