For some reason desktop Tumblr is not showing me messages, but @unionjackpillow asked for 75 for the Spotify wrapped ask game, and song 75 for me is The Other Side from The Greatest Show soundtrack. So, since the song is about trying to convince someone to take a job, have pre-canon "are they maybe" Hotchgan as Aaron offers Derek a job:

--

“We have guns,” Aaron offers, leaning forward in the rickety but comfortable chair he’d rolled over to Derek’s desk for the duration of their joint case. And it is an offer. Aaron has known Derek for two days and three hours exactly, and he’s told Jason they’ll be getting in the car to drive back to Quantico with Derek Morgan or not at all.

Derek laughs, leans back until his own rolling chair is leaning at a precarious angle, and folds his hands behind his head. Aaron watches the chair’s front wheels lift off the ground. Derek flirts with danger, Aaron knows. Derek likes it best when danger flirts right back.

“This may come as a surprise to you, Hotch,” Derek replies, still grinning, “but here at the fast and furious they also give us guns. Sort of comes with the name,” he adds, winking. He doesn’t blow Aaron a kiss, but Derek isn’t the sort of flirt to give away the whole game with one bad move.

@unionjackpillow prompted "working out together but getting distracted by the other because of reasons," so this is a very tiny ficlet about why Nike is to blame for Hotchgan. If you do not believe this, please image search "male runners 2008" and be converted.

It’s Nike’s fault that Derek and Aaron start having sex.

no two ways about it

Summary: Hotch and Emily are old, grouchy and bitching over drinks while they wait for Derek. (Set in the retirement in Chicago universe.)

Pairing: Hotch/Morgan

Warnings: alcohol consumption, lots of swearing

Words:

Notes: I just wanted to have Hotch and Emily sit and bitch for a while after he's packed up all of his things from his office. And be salty with them, let them be mean to each other for a while with love. This pointless and plotless. Enjoy.

“You seriously downplayed the amount of paperwork involved in your job,” Emily groaned, sucking down the last drops of her bourbon. There was time to mix later, she figured, but for now...for starters...it was straight up. It was the first of the afternoon and she was in the mood to get shitfaced. Or...reasonably buzzed, anyway. She did have to get back to work at some point.

Hotch cocked an eyebrow at her assertion.

“In what way?” he asked quietly, just turning his glass between his thumb and forefinger. Around and around. She'd downed one in its entirety, save for what she'd spilled when she knocked into the table with her knee, and he hadn't even set his to his parched lips yet. “I think that my complete lack of a social life should have been a pretty good indicator.”

“Oh please!” She shouted, raising her glass to indicate to anyone who would listen that she was ready for another. And to keep them coming. In London she could just have asked them to leave her the bottle...damn she missed London. “You made it look so easy.”

There were two heavy boxes of books and memorabilia between them, file boxes they'd barely managed to lug inside the little speakeasy. They would make Derek carry them back out. Boxes that contained the life he'd lived within the walls of the BAU, his awards and medals, his books, Jack's handprints when he'd been small enough to happily endure fingerpaints and construction paper. She guessed that now his tastes ran more toward video games and bikini posters, though with Hotch for a father...maybe not the latter. She wasn't sure he would even know where to begin with those things...that kid needed Derek's influence in his life.

“My marriage fell apart because of the hours I worked, if you recall.”

“No, your marriage fell apart because you wouldn't leave the BAU for a job that didn't require you to travel so often. You know what? Let's be real here...your marriage fell apart because you chose Derek Morgan over your wife.”

On Deaf Ears [Hotchgan]

Pairing: deaf!Aaron Hotchner x Derek Morgan

Characters: Aaron Hotchner, Derek Morgan, Jack Hotchner, The BAU Team (in brief snippets)

Summary: After the SUV explosion Hotch's life changes drastically, but Derek can help bring back the pieces he misses so dearly

Warnings: A little angst, hurt-comfort, crying, medication

A/N: Ahhh my first Hotchgan one shot!!! I'm actually really excited to post this one because I think it turned out pretty good and it's a sweet way to end Hotch App Week! Thanks so much to everyone who participated, you made this event what it is! And another thanks to @whump-town for beta reading and @masterwords for the screencap
