a good cat never goes far - criminalmindsgonewrong

a beautiful piece written from the perspective of sergio. truly devastating! i had to call my friend sobbing and when i explained to her it was over fan fiction, specifically from the perspective of a cat, i was definitely judged. however, i made her read it and it struck her down too. one shot.

illicit affairs - criminalmindsgonewrong

my favourite taylor song, so I went into this with high expectations and was not disappointed. this has inspired many fics of my own. over 100k. incomplete.

phantasmagoria - criminalmindsgonewrong

this is a really beautiful and well written piece. the writing is truly so wonderful that it evokes so much emotion!!! beautiful and yet so simple of a concept. one shot.

coffee at midnight - criminalmindsgonewrong

when it’s a taylor title you know it’s going to be good. this story has all the angst and hints of trauma you want in a fanfic, but it’s dressed in such a fun and lighthearted idea. over 50k. completed.

impact - criminalmindsgonewrong

i remember waiting weekly for this one’s release! a gripping story! i don’t want to spoil this one. the team themselves are written so well in this, and whilst i love anything and everything to be hotchniss i will always enjoy a fic that develops the team interacting with hotchniss themselves! completed. over 30k.

hotchners future au - criminalmindsgonewrong

this is actually a series. very well written. emily and aaron are parents and with properly flushed out children, one of the best depictions of the hotchners as parents i’ve read. gripping with hardships and the daily struggle that comes with children, hints of humour. the team and hotchniss romance still very prevalent. seven works.

if you can’t tell criminalmindsgonewrong is my favourite fanfiction author! she’s so smart and knows the characters so well! specifically what she writes is exactly what i want to read, hurt/comfort, emily and hotch with children etc, if you love a good mix of well written fluff and trauma this is definitely the author for you! (if you’re a jemily stan i think she’s written one or two for you guys too!!)

burning chrysalis - wildingflowers

one of my favourite hotchniss fanfictions. it is very dark, but probably one of the most plausible, canon aligned, introductions of this specific trauma and very well written. hotch comforting emily through a trauma and eventually we see their story develop. almost 100k. incomplete. i do check this fic often for a random resurrection.

falling in love with a girl - sienna27

boy. can you say slow burn? i found this fic whilst it was being slowly transferred from fanfic.net to ao3, so this fic did help me discover ff.net, but at what cost? i read all of it, the ending is very unexpected. there may or may not be a sequel. very well written. the characters are slightly different, nothing too drastic, but moments you realise they’re altered to what, perhaps, you’d expect, this definitely is subjective though! over 450k. complete.

slipping through my fingers - sequinsmile

for your perfect momily fix. i love sequinsmile writing. it’s not overcomplicated, but still very compelling, and gripping. three chapters. incomplete.

sequinsmile has written over 450 hotchniss fics and she’s still going. there’s definitely way more that i’ve loved. i have even subscribed to her for post notifications, so if you want a hotchniss fic she probably, definitely, has something that you would enjoy no matter how niche your interests. her writing is similar in all her fics, brilliant and interesting whilst not trying to be too drastic, everything’s believable and realistic. i would highly recommend.

twin flame - ssa3milypr3ntiss

guys this is a demily fic. because i don’t find them that implausible, i even believe season two was considering them. an amazing au surrounding emily and derek as childhood friends, emily’s mother is the complete opposite of elizabeth is terms of status, and derek helps her through this. this idea has inspired some of my own favourite fics that i’ve written, usually making it hotchniss though. just under 10k. incomplete.

mad to think crim post season six could have just been the audience knowing Emily was out there alive whilst half the team thought she was dead…. Like what was there plan

Were they going to solve Doyle?

Make it out like Emily didn’t want to come back?

i have always been a hotchniss shipper, and i always will be.

BUT….

i have just seen an edit, and i dont know why its never clicked this way before, but i was slightly more convinced of canon gay emily

now don’t get me wrong! I love canon gay emily i truly have watched, and enjoyed, enough jemily, temily, penemily edits to be convinced that our girl likes to taste the rainbow! even when she was up in spokane with the ranger and her cameo in the spin off are a lil fruity

and we all know emily was written (or was planned to be a lesbian originally) which after watching this edit made me wonder when exactly this idea was squashed

i remember once reading they were going to have a scene of her waking up with a woman as the reveal (but i can’t remember if this was a fan idea or actually the plan)

but now I want to know if paget played emily with her sexuality in mind for a while … the scene in the edit from 2x12 seems like she’s actively against going with this detective (although one could argue this is purely from a post lauren/doyle perspective)

plus the scenes with the ranger and her scenes with derek in the early season could be re-read obviously (as people have done, especially with the ranger)

now sadly in 2x16 emily says her date was with a man, so the fantasy is slightly lost, but she could’ve been lying. we know she was raised with her cold/ strict upbringing. im sure emily knew from an early age her sexuality would be rejected by her family, and maybe like our girl frankie dart she liked to keep it all separate!

with the 2x16 deleted scenes in mind too i would’ve loved if they explored the demily romantic relationship, but with emily as a closeted lesbian

(side note, but those scenes and a few more early demily scenes have definitely lead me happily down that rabbit hole)

anyway imagine it….

derek doesn’t believe he’s good enough for emily, as he told reid, he finally shoots his shot and she turns him down

he’s hurt, she’s embarrassed and it’s basically awkward as fuck and the team aren’t sure why

eventually derek goes to emilys house to clear the air and she opens the door wide eyed and clearly scared of something, pretending she’s fine (this is still emily prentiss)

clattering heard from within her apartment and dereks like… oh, do you have company?

suddenly, a woman comes from the kitchen calling out to emily (probably calling her babe for the whole cliche)

emily is panicked derek goes wide eyed and the woman notices he’s there saying hello as emilys in full internal panic and then derek being the great guy he is exhales and introduces himself

fully accepting this significant fact about his friend without even blinking

…now he’s in on the secret

(we could even have a break up the team don’t know it was a girlfriend not a boyfriend then some jemily yearning)

(or instead of emilys apartment and some random girlfriend it could be the ranger in spokane in emilys hotel room)
