Summary
(title is derived from an e.e. cummings poem )
JJ’s world shifted the moment two thin lines appeared on the pregnancy test. Ever since then? Chaos.
In between swollen ankles and ridiculously early mornings spent at the foot of the toilet, Will left. He left quietly, without a fuss. No big argument. No explanation. He was there one week, then gone the next. He changed his number and left JJ a lousy, half-assed note. JJ didn’t have time to process it, too busy folding onesies and tending to a crying infant.
So, when Emily Prentiss decided to give her a hand, it seemed foolish to decline. Not when she hadn’t slept in days. Not when her apartment was littered with toys and bottles scattered across the kitchen.
JJ didn’t even realize when her eyes started softening when she looked at Emily. She didn’t realize when her heart made that jump around Emily. But seeing Emily Prentiss—usually sharp and composed —rock her baby with hands so gentle it made JJ hold her breath…it did things to her.
It did things to Emily too.

Summary
Emily doesn’t stay long that night. Just long enough to rinse a few dishes, trade bedtime jokes with Michael about brushing his teeth “like a dragon,” and sit with JJ on the porch for a brief glass of wine. The conversation drifts easily—work, the boys, memories from past cases—and when Emily gets up to leave, she squeezes JJ’s shoulder with a gentleness that lingers.
And somehow, that one evening turns into another.- Language:

Summary
When Mabel Elmsworth arrives in England’s drawing rooms and rose gardens, she expects boredom, polite conversation, and the usual parade of eligible men. What she doesn’t expect is Honoria Marable — a girl who seems to vanish into corners, who speaks in silences more than words, and who looks at the floor as though it might speak back.
Honoria follows the rules. Mabel doesn’t care much for them. But something begins to stir between them — small, slow, quiet.
A very slow burn sapphic romance set in the world of The Buccaneers (2023) — where what’s not said matters more than what is.

Summary
In the wake of Will’s death, JJ has everyone in her corner… except her oldest friend. Despite their THC-laced Cheetos night and the impassioned confession “it gives me you,” Emily is more distant than ever.
Meanwhile, Emily is holding everyone at arm’s length… especially the woman she loves. Two decades of suppressed feelings take a backseat to dismantling BAUgate for good and giving JJ space to grieve.
In our take on Season 18 of Criminal Minds Evolution (that will lack so much plot at times because we want these two idiots to finally be together), will JJ and Emily find their way home to each other? Or are they destined to dance around and around, never being brave enough to admit their feelings or act on them?
