Summary
The BAU team has a new obsession—and it’s not the latest case. It’s getting Hotch and Reid together, obviously. They'd be perfect: the grumpy one and the sunshine one, the stern profiler and the excitable genius. Classic slow-burn.
Problem is, nothing seems to work. Not Rossi’s “accidental” wine nights. Not Morgan’s bro-level pushing. Not even Penelope’s PowerPoint of “Spencer + Aaron = OTP.”
But when a mission goes wrong and Hotch lets something slip, the truth finally comes out.
Spoiler alert: the team was very late to the party.Series

Summary
"There were several things in Aaron Hotchner's life that had never made sense to him. He didn't understand why nearly everyone in his family (minus his son Jack) couldn't quite fathom why he felt drawn to the BAU. He didn't get how so many people in the world had such depraved mindsets. And he wasn't entirely sure why he still hadn't drug-tested his team's tech analyst, Penelope Garcia. (He was also confused about her relationship with Derek Morgan, but he wasn't going to touch that with a ten foot pole.)
But what baffled Hotch the most was how someone who was as intelligent as Spencer Reid could be so inherently oblivious."

Written for the prompt: I've seen a lot of oblivious!Hotch fic, but how about Reid being oblivious of his own feelings for Hotch? Hotch is aware, and reciprocates. Fluffy journey of realization maybe? Bonus for Garcia being helpful.

Summary
"Hotch wasn't entirely sure how he'd ended up in this predicament.
Actually, that wasn't entirely true. He was pretty sure his entire team had been in on it, and if he really wanted to place blame on someone, he could likely trace everything back to either Rossi or Garcia. And if he had to bet, his money would be on Garcia because only she could manipulate everyone without them realizing she'd done it."

In which Reid may or may not be faking he's drunk, Hotch can't seem to make smart choices anymore, and both men are hopelessly oblivious idiots.

Summary
“We are so sorry, Miss.” Hotch speaks then, voice pleasant and gentle in a way his work persona usually isn't. “We must have missed the name cards at the entrance. You see, my husband here is a bit skittish around crowds and we didn't expect this many people to be here. I wanted to allow him a moment to adjust in peace before we start to give our instructions.” His boss slides an arm around his waist, drawing him close in a way that seems so intimate and easy to any outsider, and also happens to be an absolute contrast to the inner turmoil Spencer is facing. “But you're getting used to it. Aren't you, sweetheart?”
If Spencer had been any less prepared to keep up an act, he might have audibly squeaked at that.
Sweetheart. Sweetheart.
Sweetheart.
