Hossi trick or treat? (Lmao hi it’s Joy)
He’s never taken a kid trick-or-treating, but he’s game for it. Rich neighbourhood, and they all know him, so nobody is going to skimp on giving his kid full sized bars. Well, not his actual kid, but close enough at this point. Close enough that they’re doing this in his neck of the wood’s, and not Hotch’s.
“They’re all still sad about my dead mom,” Jack had said, quizzed on his lack of interesting in trick-or-treating. Rossi had had to watch Hotch’s heart break in just a look over Jack’s head, the sudden weight of knowing his kid was noticing that kind of stuff settling on them both.
So here they are, in the foyer of Rossi’s mansion, preparing for the new candy-gathering grounds Rossi had suggested.
“What are you supposed to be?” Jack asks, a judgemental eye raking Rossi up and down.
“You know what a vampire is, kid,” he says. The over-emphasised widow’s peak, the white face, the fangs – this kid’s got to be pulling his leg.
“Aren’t you Italian?”
Hotch’s weak “hey, buddy” is disguising a peel of laughter. Rossi just smirks at Jack, and shifts his mouth for his very worst exaggerated Transylvanian accent.
“If the garlic doesn’t work, that just makes me harder to kill!”

and now the time has come
Summary: Peter Lewis has Hotch in his sights, and the only thing to do is for he and Jack to disappear. (The beginning of the WITSEC story we deserved.)
Pairing: None (yet? who knows? for now, hotch remains solo)
Words: 4.2k (and counting)
Notes: I want to write about Hotch in WITSEC. I want to hurt him and give him adventures and see what happens during the year or so that he's stashed away out of sight. This first story will be 3 chapters (2 are done, 1 is in progress) and then it will become a series of related one-shots. Please let me know what you think? It gets lonely out here in the void. (I will make a landing page for the series soon.)
Chapter Two (coming soon) Chapter Three (coming soon)

a feather in a hurricane
Summary: After Haley's death, Hotch knows he doesn't want to take Strauss' offer of retirement but he isn't quite ready to resume his job at the BAU either. Instead, he takes a temporary post in Alaska and decides it's a good place for he and Jack to start their new lives together.
Words: 6.3k (and counting)
Pairing: Hotch/Morgan (slow burn friends to lovers)
Warnings: see tags on ao3
Notes:
This is going to be a slow burn chaptered adventure about Hotch and Jack figuring out their new life, and about Hotch and Derek figuring out that they're in love. Because I'm me and EVERY story I write has to involve those two idiots falling in love. I'm looking forward to a nice, slow growing time for Hotch as a single parent dealing with grief and his new role in his child's life. Because what if Hotch was smart and decided that he needed to allow himself time to properly grieve for Haley instead of leaping back in to hunting killers? What if he put his relationship with Jack first? I hope you want to come along with me! Hotch in the mountains, living a slower life...I'm so excited.

snow day
Summary: The first snow of the year in Chicago falls on Hotch's birthday, and he's tired of being lonely so he goes out and enjoys it.
Pairings: none (future hotchgan)
Words: 3.1k
Warnings: nothing really, it's soft. some mentions of chronic pain and loneliness.
Notes: Comfortember Day 2: Sweater Weather & HOTCH'S BIRTHDAY! Epic combination baby. A few months in to WITSEC and he's tired of being sad and lonely. This might be the nicest fic I have ever written for his birthday guys. WHO AM I? I have another birthday fic planned for posting later this month that is even NICER...I think I'm broken. LOL

Two months. It was the longest Hotch had gone without work in his adult life. To say he was losing his mind was an understatement. He spent a lot of time on the balcony fiddling with his plants, the first of them having been a small potted boxwood from his handler, Tim. They weren’t exactly friends, but Tim knew a thing or two about how this went and how idle hands lead to breaking rules, so a plant it was. Keeping Hotch busy would make Tim’s life easier. Giving him something to care for, something he could look at and watch grow. It had been unseasonably warm in September and October, but now that November was turning the page things had begun to frost and his plants needed to be moved inside. He’d started with the one, and now he had what amounted to a small army of green things with leaves and flowers and dirt to play in. He’d never figured himself for a gardener, but then, he’d never figured himself for a man who would have to be on the run either.
His chair, though, he kept that outside even once most of his plants were inside. It was just him and his arborvitae that he planned to decorate for Christmas. There was a little basket he kept beside the back sliding glass door full of big, warm blankets so he could still sit out on the balcony and read with his morning coffee or his afternoon tea. It was the little things, Tim said that to him too. Tim was proving to be a good ally at the very least, he’d seen enough of this to know how it went and how it would destroy a person if they didn’t find ways to adapt and maybe, given enough time, even thrive.

Summary: Hotch & Jack's arrival in Chicago and the beginning of their WITSEC journey.
Pairings: none (future hotchgan)
Words: 1.6k
Warnings: none
AO3: high & dry
Notes: For Comfortember Day One: Safe. I am going to do as many of the prompts for this month as I can and I plan to set them all within the Chicago Times universe. A whole month of retired softies! I can't promise all fluff, some will be sad (like this one), but it's going to be as much comfort as I can possibly bestow on them. I am going to try and keep each story short and simple, divulging little bits and details in each instead of a huge word dump. Pray for me. LOL

Chicago. He’d been plenty of times, mostly for cases but a few times for pleasure. The city looked different looming on the horizon from the backseat of a vehicle with dark tinted windows. He was nodding off in a Dramamine fog, Jack had been asleep for hours. It was a ten hour drive without stops, and the US Marshals in charge of their trip were making it a point to stop as few times as possible. Once to fuel up at a station that they deemed safe enough to let their appointees out for bathroom breaks and snacks and once at a designated time check in. Hotch didn’t handle riding in the backseat well and they’d drugged him up nicely after the fueling stop, enough that he didn’t feel awake enough to be sick but not tired enough to sleep either.
His mind was racing, even with the drugs dulling his responses. Did he make the right call? (Did he even have a choice?) Were they really safe? He had so little faith in this system anymore. At one point it was all he believed in, and now it had been so eroded that it was barely recognizable.

What is something that Hotch, Derek, Jack and Hank like to indulge in when it comes to a) food and b) activities?
The idea of them indulging as a family is just so special.
For food and activities, I think it's a big family style meal with the Morgan family. Like casseroles or a big pot roast or ham, something that takes all day to slow cook and the whole family brings a side dish and they play cards or board games. The biggest indulgence they have is time with their family. Small things with big heart.
Although I do think they enjoy a hot summer day at a White Sox (baseball) game or a bundled up snowy Bears (football) game. Hot dogs and other stadium food, buying the kids souvenirs, completely 100% into the whole thing. Hanging out at Soldier Field with his family would be so special to Derek, doing things with his boys that his dad did with him.
I am SO SAPPY. But I just think they're the most domestic fools on the planet when the BAU is done with them.

Hi, I’d like to order a 32 please: A kiss while someone watches 😙
Coming right up! How about 2500 words of heart trouble that leads up to a heart-racing finish with a LOT of someones watching? Chicago retirement universe, football, sappy soft old men. This is unedited and scrappy, so please forgive glaring errors and halfway correct medical nonsense - I used to work in a coumadin clinic and with a cardiologist so I have some (probably outdated and definitely sketchy at this point) knowledge and that's about where we sit here. Forgive me for errors, I tried to remember things without trying to dive too far into research just to get them to kiss. We're in the CM universe, this is probably still closer to accurate than most of the show was. LOL (I'll put this on AO3 tomorrow. I have to go clean my house and get ready for a football game filled weekend of my own now.)
Warning ⚠️: heart problems & procedures, mention of death/implied abusive household (hotch's father)

Hotch hadn’t been to work in months. Summer vacation provided a clever cover for his ailing health, he thought. Usually he would pick up a summer course or two, just to keep busy, but it wasn’t required and this year he didn’t even consider it. His heart had begun to act funny sometime around spring break – nothing he hadn’t experienced before. Since Foyet, he’d had random periods of erratic heartbeats. Too fast, sometimes alarmingly so, but always over quickly. A few scary minutes accompanied by a seasick feeling and then back to normal. He would think about it for an hour after, sitting and waiting for the next one, for the Big One.
