I Will Wash Your Hair At Night (And Dry It Off With Care) by casanovaxyz for circussbeetle
Fandoms: Criminal Minds (US TV)
17 Aug 2025
Tags
Summary
Hotch narrows his eyes in a way that makes it obvious he’s trying to profile him. “You’ve been in here for a while,” He states dryly, as if Spencer didn’t know that already. “I thought I’d check up on you.”
He hums in response, aware that he’s most likely being rude and dismissive, but he's not in the mood to deal with whatever game Hotch is trying to play with him right now. “Thank you, but I’m fine. I was just finishing up.”
“Right…” Hotch draws out slowly, eyes narrowing further in the reflection of the mirror, clearly unconvinced.
Spencer thinks that now would be a great time to enforce that ‘No Profiling Each Other’ rule that he's always seemed so keen about.
(OR: A rough case leads to Spencer having an OCD episode, something that Hotch is not willing to let him go through alone.)
(OR OR: a birthday fic for the one and only Coz)

drink up (you’re wasted on me) by circussbeetle for Anddreamofsheep, 4hoots
Fandoms: Criminal Minds (US TV)

Summary
Spencer takes Hotch’s hand in his own and brings it across the space between them to rest over his knees, cradled in both of his hands like something precious. Hotch doesn’t object, silently watching Spencer’s movements with a wary tilt of his head.
“Do you always change parts of yourself to manage other’s perceptions?” The question trips past Spencer's lips before he can think better of it.
Hotch tenses, his hand clenching and unclenching in Spencer’s hold like he wants to pull away from the conversation, from Spencer. His hand stays in place.
“Doesn’t everyone?” He asks quietly, and something about his tone makes Spencer look up for the first time since he started this bizarre interrogation.
Spencer almost doesn’t want to break it to him.
“No,” he says, looking back to the hand in his lap and lacing their fingers together for a selfish moment, a breath, “not everyone.”
AKA A night out with the team quickly devolves, and Spencer’s still dizzy trying to put it back together.

Summary
He’s interrupted by the sound of stomping feet on hardwood running towards him.
“Dad Dad Dad,” Jack chants as he sprints into Aaron’s legs full speed, almost knocking him over as he wraps his arms around his Dad and looks up at him with his most perfected puppy dog eyes, “are we still getting breakfast? I want the big pancake!”
Aaron can’t stop the grin that spreads across his lips as he steadies himself, resting a hand on the top of Jack’s head and petting over his hair lovingly as Jack rests his chin on Aaron’s stomach to look up at him.
“Yeah buddy, we can go to breakfast,” he nods, helpless to deny those big brown eyes.
Aka Aaron and Jack's Father-son day and all the ups and downs that come with it.

But sometimes he gets injured along the way, and lacks a response when he tells someone. Which definitely doesn’t help the hearts of his teammates.
OR:
My baby gets injured a lot and waits last minute to tell people.

Summary
“Now, what do you remember?”
Aaron takes a deep breath, then two. He’s back in the study, unbound but immobilized against the desk. Another. Lewis’s threats sit on like steel on the back of his neck. Inhale. The door creaks horribly as it opens. Exhale. I’m about to come through that door. In. He raises the gun. Out. Kill me.

Summary
Hotch purses his lips when Reid doesn’t respond, black eyes shimmering with a loaded determination.
“This only works if you trust me.”
It’s not blackmail or intentional guilt tripping, but it almost feels like it; if he lets his fear win, if he takes the out and pulls out of the mission, not only is he putting a stake through their most solid plan, but now he’s also telling Hotch he doesn’t trust him to have his back.
And unfortunately for Reid, there’s no known universe where he doesn’t trust Hotch with his life.
“I trust you.”
AKA Hotch and Reid go undercover to catch an unsub and get a little too into the assignment
