    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, and have her whole. She's never come around to figure out how to deal with what happened to her and the many ways in which 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, mild to severe deviation from canon, as well as an alternate exploration of Emily's trauma and its many consequences. Updates sporadically.

    Summary

    Emily Prentiss and three pregnancies: at fifteen, thirty-three, and forty.

    (Demonology, Lauren arc and Hotchniss vibes.)

    “I think. . . a person should be wanted,” she says. “Loved, and. . .” She closes her eyes, wraps her arms around her waist and looks away, looking for the words. “Not – a consequence, you know? A punishment for making a bad choice. A person should mean more than that to their mom.” Her voice cracks on the last word, and without any warning, there are tears rolling down her cheeks, dripping onto her folded arms as she drops her chin to her chest. “I don’t want a baby,” she whispers.

    “We’ll figure out a way,” Matthew says, resolute.

    “He said I can’t come back to church.”

    “Fuck him, Emily. He’s wrong.”
