Summary
Emily Prentiss never expected to question her heart so late in life. She always thought she was straight, and that her bond with JJ was nothing more than friendship. But after their fallout and Will’s death, she realizes there’s a depth between them she can’t ignore. JJ loved Will, she chose him, and Emily respects that. His absence doesn’t change the past, but it forces Emily to face truths she has long avoided.
As Emily untangles her feelings for JJ, she crosses paths with Dr. Maja Keller; first a fleeting encounter, then an unexpected friendship, and finally something undeniable. For the first time, Emily learns what it means to be seen, pursued, and cherished with the same loyalty she has always given others. Amid grief, longing, and the weight of old choices, she discovers a love she never thought possible, and one she can no longer deny.

Summary
It was freedom Jennifer Jareau felt when she received her athletic scholarship to Georgetown University. But when an injury takes her out mid-season and results in a spiral that sees her losing that scholarship, she's forced to re-write her carefully constructed life plan. Perhaps it's fate's sense of humor that finds her at Glass River Ranch at the same time as a mysterious brunette, who has an attitude and a penchant for expensive liquor.

Summary
Michael is okay. Kids are resilient and even with Henry off to college, he’s got no shortage of male role models to choose from. Luke is his favourite, which JJ is pretty sure is only because Luke is Aunty Penelope’s favourite and Michael worships the ground she walks on. So, Michael has Luke and Penelope, Henry has Spence, and JJ has all of them and none of them. Most days it feels like she’s on her own.
“That’s not totally true though,” Dr. Ochoa says. “You have Emily.”

Summary
JJ had always used work and routines to help process her grief.
JJ had also disobeyed Emily’s direct orders, and she realised that maybe she’d came back to work too soon after Will’s death.
Emily hadn’t meant for her joke to go sideways. JJ hadn’t meant to snap when her feelings did a one eighty. Love was messy. It was messier when you’ve been yearning for each other subconsciously (or not) for twenty years.
Angry jemily (or Emily) love confession, set during 18x05.

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.”

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?
