The partner piece to Imperceptible Movements, where Emily and Aaron are just too painfully obvious.
And the one time that they werenāt.
Read on AO3.

Derek
There were some benefits to profiling that Derek has used to his advantage over the course of his career. His experience in criminal psychology translated to simpler psychoanalysis - assessing whether or not his sisters were in a foul mood based on how many times they sighed in one family dinner, choosing his line at the coffee shop based on how disgruntled the cashier was acting that morning, picking his moments to swing by Penelopeās desk with their favorite Thai food when a case hits her closer to home than she would ever admit.
However, there were times where he wished he could stop his initial reflex of dissecting a personās behavior, instinctually aware of the motivations behind their actions - especially when said person is his partner.
Even more when his said partner is dating their boss. Ā

the accent too????š„¹
thomas: āhello my dearš„°ā
the way I would die on the spot if he said that to me
hotch, sighing: i should warn you, i'm not good at keepint secrets from emily. she's been known to use physical torture
rossi: you mean she tickles you?
hotch: as i said, physical torture
the way they always just missed each other
maybe if one time they hadn't, they'd have seen it
Charlie Lastra really said āStephens, if youāre the villain in someone elseās love story, then Iām the devilā and āif youāre the āwrong kind of woman,ā then Iām the wrong kind of manā and you expected me to not fall for that shit?
delusional post for s18:
to give the cm writers a chance to finally right their wrongs, emily dates a 6ā2 prosecutor with huge hands and has a son from a previous marriage and is partial to designer ties and recently acquired reading glasses š
maybe he sometimes texts her in the morning or at night when he knows sheās working a case or smth and canāt take a phone call idk
pick up what iām putting down, writers. pick. it. up. āļø
THE WAY THIS ENTIRE SONG JUST SCREAMS HOTCHNISS

She wasnāt looking forward to attending her motherās huge Christmas party at all, didnāt want to converse with all these people she didnāt know, but seemed to know an awful lot about her. This giant building her mother referred to as ātheir homeā wasnāt home to her. To her, it had always felt like she didnāt belong. Politics, a world she was born into, a game she still learned to perfect, something she tremendously hated. She didnāt want to have to deal with any of it tonight, but seeing as she came āhomeā for the holidays, she didnāt really have a choice.
She forced laughter at the bad jokes her motherās friends made, the stories they told her the most boring things she's ever heard and she faked smiles when her mother introduced her to yet another person she had no interest in getting to know.
All of it seemed to never have been relevant, though, as she locked eyes with him.
