Summary
After a case leaves an eight-year-old girl temporarily in their care, Aaron Hotchner and Spencer Reid don’t intend to become anything more than safe adults in a chaotic situation.
But Ellie latches onto them with the kind of trust neither of them is prepared for—and neither of them knows how to give back halfway.
What starts as temporary supervision turns into shared mornings, shared silence, and a quiet understanding neither man is willing to name out loud.
When Ellie finally has to leave, they expect things to go back to normal.
Instead, they realize they never really had a normal to return to.
And some things don’t end just because the case is closed.
(Basically, long story short: A child profiles them into realizing they love each other and practically single-handedly brings them together)
