Summary
"Hotch said he called in reinforcements from overseas," Reid supplies.
JJ lets out a thin laugh unaware of where her thoughts immediately drifted to until the words tumble out of her mouth. “What, like Interpol or something?”
“Exactly like Interpol.”
At first, JJ thinks she’s having some kind of stroke. Or that, in fact, her alarm never went off, and she is still in bed, having a bittersweet dream about one of Penelope’s many plans and schemes. It’s more likely than the person behind her really being who JJ desperately wants, needs, her to be.
"Holy wow," Penelope whispers, grabbing JJ's wrist so tight she must suppress a wince.
Only then does she turn around, feels her heart leaping into her throat because Emily Prentiss is standing in the entry of the bullpen. She’s really here. In America. At the BAU. Less than twenty feet away from where JJ is struggling to not leap into her arms.

Here's to the second part of "luck of the irish"

Summary
What happened in Paris was meant to stay there. It was a glimpse into another life, one that only ever brought them pain.
Fifteen years later, Emily is being left behind. Lives are built, and she isn't a part of them. The mask she wears has slipped, her mortality is catching up to her, and it's easier to turn her back than to stand there and watch it.
JJ is still married. She shouldn't be. Her marriage has become a contract that she's too tired to leave.
With Emily pressing buttons, and JJ already halfway out the door, love, need, and anger rear their heads.
What follows is a series of terrible decisions, a vicious spiral they can't seem to escape, and a future neither of them dared to dream of.

Summary
Its not a love that begins with fire,
It begins with restraint.
Glances that last too long and hands that almost touch but don't. Twenty years of tension folded neatly into suits and buried in case files.
They don't fall in love, they realize that they have been standing in it all along. Grief is what cracks it open.
A year after JJ lost Will she has hollowed out and begun rebuilding herself into something quieter, steadier, she tries to put herself back out there in a world full of desire. She dresses for it, sits across from men who look at her like she's a prize. Their words fill the space, but leave her unheard, untouched.
But she already knows what it feels like to be seen.
Emily never tried to impress her. Never needed to perform. Emily watches JJ date other people and it causes something inside of her to coil.
Something deeper. More dangerous.
Or: After a year of loss, JJ searches for connection in the wrong places, only to realize the person she had been looking for was right in front of her all along.
