Summary
Emily Prentiss doesn’t fall in love the way people expect.
She notices. She files things away. She tells herself stories that make sense: about partnership, about loyalty, about why Jennifer Jareau matters more to her than anyone else. It takes years before the truth becomes unavoidable, and by then, JJ’s life has already grown in directions Emily has no right to disrupt.
So Emily stays exactly where she belongs: close enough to see everything, far enough to never ask for more.
OR
An Emily POV of her relationship with JJ, told against the backdrop of cases, years, and a career built on understanding human behavior. A slow-burning examination of love discovered too late, and chosen anyway, even when it can’t be returned.
