Seattle: A Series

Chapter 14: Duty

(A/N): Um…so, lots of angst today. Maybe you saw this coming, maybe you didn’t, but I would probably recommend you have tissues ready(?). It slowly starts to get better from here. 

Series Summary: From the moment they are assigned to each other as partners at their first placements at the FBI’s Seattle field office, Special Agents Y/n L/n and Aaron Hotchner are clearly the perfect match for each other: driven, intelligent, courageous, and both working towards the ultimate goal of becoming profilers. While learning the ropes of the Bureau, they become everything to each other: a rock, a confidant, the person they trust their life with, best friends, and maybe even something more.

Series Warnings: Angst, Fluff, Mentions of Normal Criminal Minds Things, Mentions of Sexism, Season 5 and 9 Spoilers, Mentions of Infidility/Cheating, Mentions of Divorce, Mentions of Death.

“It is, as always,” I responded. “And is life still good at BAU? You’re not regretting going back, are you?”

“Oh, you know I could never stay away,” he joked. “It’s still good.”
