   Summary

   A collection of post-episode stories tracing the quiet evolution of Aaron Hotchner and Emily Prentiss — two agents bound by duty, undone by something softer.

   This series stitches together the moments the show left unsaid, "proving" that Hotchniss was real.

   Love wasn’t supposed to be there. But it was.
