aaron at the end of “house on fire” (04x19) telling penelope (calling her penelope, too, by the way) that he knows she sees the good in people and he would never want her to change that
listen i’m just saying i know that he’s asking her to see the good in him too and she does she so does aaron
soft soft soft things that aaron hotchner has done for others (both canon and headcanon) because he CARES ABOUT PEOPLE, okay??? he does, he really does,,, he's not a heartless guy at all
upon finding spencer passed out at his desk at the office, in the same clothes he wore yesterday and unfinished case files before him, aaron goes and buys him a coffee and a cookie from spencer's favourite coffee shop, putting them next to him and gently shaking him awake with a soft smile
penelope broke down once, like full on ugly crying i can't breathe breakdown, in front of him after a terrible case, and he surprised her by wrapping his strong arms around her and pulling her in close, resting his chin on her head and whispering "oh, penelope... what are we gonna do with you?" which made her laugh and sniffle into his chest and
one day he came home to find his very pregnant wife on the floor against the fridge sobbing, and so he rushed to her side to check if she was alright only to realise she had no idea why she was crying (hormones!), so he sat with her and told her a funny story with accents and faces and also spoke to jack about their future (it cheered her up almost immediately, he always knew how to make her laugh)
he has a spare drawer in his apartment that he fills with sweets, specifically jack and jessica's favourite ones (for jack when he's done something well and when jessica needs some comfort)
he never fails to make sure derek (or anyone, really) knows he can talk to him about anything (if derek ever needs to talk about his childhood trauma, he knows aaron is always there for him)
he literally pays for jessica's apartment so that she can live with and care for her dad?? and you're telling me he doesn't care for people?? (this is actually canon)
he definitely plays the xbox with jack bc it makes them both happy and it's quality father-son bonding time
you see the way he hugged spencer after the whole hankel thing??? YOU SEE THE WAY HE HELD HIM SO TIGHTLY?? my mans loves people and he loves his team, okay?? he cares for them so so much and would do anything for them
he said "i want you to make a deal with me. you're gonna go weeks, months even, feeling fine. and then you're gonna have a bad day. just let me know when you do," to emily,,, he's so caring pls
he definitely invites dave around his apartment often, or goes to his mansion with jack, so that the older man isn't alone
he helps jj with the kids, offering to take care of them so that she can finally have a day off with will (and sometimes spencer or penelope comes around to his apartment to help out)
when he sees books that his team would like, he buys it and leaves it on their desks (true crime for emily, fantasy/supernatural for jj, sports or home improvement tips for derek, cook books for dave, educational books for spencer, arts and crafts/sewing/animal books for penelope), he never tells them he's the one doing it but they all know
he also buys gaming books for jack, specifically those minecraft books where it teaches you about redstone or explores the end/nether, and he knows jessica sometimes enjoys a romance novel or likes reading about new recipes so he gets her books relating to that
when the bau begins to cut funds and takes away their office coffee he doesn't tell the team, instead using his own money to keep it in stock (dave eventually finds out and splits it with him, and then spencer finds out and demands that he pay for all of it because he's the one who uses it the most)
he also makes sure to stock up with most of jessica's favourite foods so that she can help herself whenever she's over
when spencer gets happy at the site of the ice cream van after a case one time, aaron goes and buys the whole team their favourite ice cream and doesn't say anything, just hands them out and eats his own in silence
when one of the members gets more affected by a case than the others, he gives them less work over the next week (or however long it takes them to recover), this includes less case files, in which he either does or asks another member to do (only when he already has too much to do), and he occasionally allows them to come in later/leave earlier
basically this man is an absolute softie and you can't tell me otherwise
Look at the way Dave literally pulls Hotch into the hug. He grabs the small of his back and just throws him into his body. I’ve never seen Hotch hug ANYONE like that.

He was the elder child in an abusive household and honestly it really does seem like the majority of us in that situation wind up raising our younger siblings, in my experience.
As an adult, he has an obsession with control and gets uncomfortable and angry when his authority is undermined, which could very well be a result of deriving his only sense of stability and safety in childhood from his authority and control over his brother.
Hotch is a character defined by his authority. Having power makes him feel safe and secure, which is evidenced by Foyet psychologically torturing him by taking away his authority over Haley & Jack, his house, his team, and even his own body/physical safety (he only lived because Foyet drove him to the hospital—he was completely at his mercy). I don’t know that Foyet did all of this on purpose, because I don’t think he’s that smart or whatever, but it was a clear narrative choice to show Hotch’s degradation and suffering by taking away his authority over everything in his life and reducing him to this screaming, sobbing, powerless mess in Derek’s arms. Who is he without a team to answer to him?
And obviously you all already know this, because you watch the show, but I’m just proposing that this is rooted in his childhood. Growing up, he was surrounded by uncertainty and violence, and the only thing he could be sure of was that his little brother needed him. Now, he’s surrounded by uncertainty and violence, and the into thing he can be sure of is that his team needs him. Right?
Also, the way he interacted with Sean in season one (chastising him for his bad decisions, trying to get him to take a white collar job, etc.) came off as very parental, like he had this deep sense of responsibility for Sean’s success. It seemed more dad than big brother, almost
Not to mention the episode where he talks about abusive fathers was just a few eps off of the Sean one, so it seems like they were hinting at a Hotch backstory reveal
The show should've explained better why being in control is so important to Hotch, as well as why Foyet managed to get to him by exploiting his authority
I offer you my 2,300+ worded thoughts on the matter with episodes included. There's going to be lots and lots of talk about abuse so you're going to want to steer clear of that if that's something you're not cool with but for those of you interested... I give you all the proof I could think of:
Natural Born Killer.
In the eighth episode of the first season, “Natural Born Killer”, we meet Vincent Perrotta. His father was abusive but from the outside looking in, no one knew a thing. Perrotta started drinking at fourteen and committed petty crimes, as well as assault, for pleasure. Going as far as to kill his own father not too long after. But Perrotta is a monster and a psychopath so it’s clear we’re not supposed to sympathize which makes his interaction with Hotch so peculiar.
Hotch is our “Captain America”. A true neutral with an infinity for doing what’s right so it’s inconceivable to compare him to Perrotta and yet Hotch gives us some rather conflicting lines to dissect.
Before Gideon hands the interview over to Hotch, he spends a moment talking with the others out in the bullpen. The whole time he’s leaned back and he’s watching Morgan and Hotch. Now, at this point, we don’t know about the sexual abuse Derek Morgan faced at the hands of Carl Buford but there’s something about the way that Gideon spends the entirety of the conversation only looking at the two of them. Waiting for them to put together what he clearly already has and when Hotch does…
Hotch jumps straight into Perrotta’s profile, asking: “You grew up in a house that looked normal and happy, didn’t you Vincent?”, “But your father beat you every chance he got”
Perrotta excuses it with a shrug, “he smacked me around some, didn’t everybody’s old man?”
Abuse is a complicated thing and, often, abused children just don’t know what their parents are doing to them is abuse. It can be a subtle and outright thing but there’s an element of normalcy to it. The parent’s abuse is as habitual, as minimal as biting your nails to the child. Adults often can’t identify their parent’s past abuse.
With Hotch you learn that his lack of expression is often as telling as his expressions and as Hotch looks back at Perrotta, there’s something so sad about his eyes. His voice goes from loud, assertive to his whispered answer to Perrotta’s question. “No.” As if, well, maybe that’s a question he’d raised once too.
Perrotta doesn’t care about that though and he taunts “well, maybe if yours had you would have learned to fight”. But is it not more telling that Hotch didn’t make a sound? Perrotta got in several hits and the only sound Hotch made was when the wind was literally punched out of him. Not even when Gideon called to him and at that point, Perrotta did not the garrote around Hotch’s throat. That’s another thing mentioned before in the profile and something Hotch mentions to Perrotta directly. You learn to take the beatings, smile even. So, it’s just a little odd how little Hotch responded…
But that’s all nothing, you can take that how you want
Which leads us to the fateful, not everyone comment.
"You were just responding to what you learned, Vincent. When you grow up in an environment like that, an extremely abusive and violent household... it's not surprising that some people grow up to become killers"
That can’t mean NOTHING, there’s so much there but there’s something about Hotch’s subtle wording. The way he’s unconsciously slipped himself in there (a very real thing that people do) and he hasn’t even realized it. Doesn’t even know he’s done it until Perrotta pushes and he pauses, asks what Perrotta means. And the subtly of it, the way he doesn’t even mean to that says more than anything else.
“And some people grow up to catch them.”
It’s a super-specific comment to make. He can’t possibly be talking about Derek because he doesn’t even know about Carl Buford yet not to mention saying that about him would be incredibly rude if he were talking about Reid (and again, he doesn’t know about Reid’s childhood yet). So… that really only leaves him because JJ, Garcia, and Elle were not abused.
“P911”
In season two, episode two “P911” the team is hunting down a man trying to sell a young boy, Peter, on the black market. Kevin Rose is an underage boy “selling” himself on the internet while his abusive father has been in prison. I’ll let you just guess who it is that leads the team on finding out more about Kevin.
Your guess is more than likely right-- Morgan and Hotch. Now, we know about Morgan but come on. Nothing to say about it being Hotch who makes the emotional appeal?
The camera even follows his gaze, he’s crouched down (to appear non-threatening because he’s so close) and we watch his eyes take in the scars on Kevin’s chest. You can also note that while Gideon remarks that Kevin’s father was “always drunk, you never knew why he was hurting you, why he was so angry” both Kevin and Hotch look away from him.
AND FUCKING TRY AND TELL ME THE “some grow up to catch them” LINE WAS NOTHING TRY BECAUSE GUESS WHAT GIDEON SAYS? NO, NO GUESS--
Gideon: “At night you’d cry yourself to sleep hoping someone would come and save you”
And it’s HOTCH, HOTCH IS THE ONE TO SAY: “You have the chance to be the one who saves someone, Kevin. You can be the one who answers him, the one who stops his pain.”
PARALLELS PEOPLE THE PARALLELS
“Profiler, Profiled”
I bet you weren’t expecting this one, huh? But there’s something about people who faced trauma that makes it so perceptible to other traumatized people-- they sniff it out like coke to a drug hound. And, just guess, who it is that spends the majority of his time fighting with Morgan? Who knows (like I said about the bloodhound) immediately there is something Morgan’s hiding.
Hotch is angry, he’s upset that Morgan would hide anything. Mumbling about there being “larger implications” and how the team can’t have secrets. With the knowledge of exactly what that secret is it makes Gideon’s eye roll a little telling. Because it’s like they both know but neither will say. Driven home by Gideon turning the attention to Hotch, asking “would you want us profiling you?”
And again Hotch is the one to leap onto the abuse. The one to put the pieces together. Hotch’s anger makes no sense. He says he’s angry that Derek’s keeping a secret but the team has many, way too many. Over the years the team unwraps all kinds of secrets, he’s never angry then. So, it’s not about the implication of a secret at all. It’s what the secret is, like misplaced anger. Anger with himself may be leftover from his own abuse. But still…
Hotch lets Morgan escape. Knows exactly who and what Carl Buford is but all he tells the team is that “he won’t even speak about him”. He always knows how to find the abuse… like I said, a bloodhound.
George Foyet
I know you’re going to find this so fucking surprising but guess who also was abused? George Foyet was beaten by his biological father and his mother didn’t save him so he hates women (bleh, men are disgusting what’s knew).
Now, blah, blah, blah Hannah, I know you’re not about to say Foyet and Hotch are a lot alike-- no of course not. Don’t be silly. What I’m going to say is that they’re foil characters? They accent one another in an opposites sort of way. Foyet is a manipulative narcissist who doesn’t work well with others. Hotch is a guilt-ridden team leader who can’t let The Reaper’s case go. There are meant to be comparisons drawn between them. A good villain does that. George Foyet shows us that Hotch is not at all this removed, cool guy that we’ve previously assumed him to be. He cries in an alley because he blames himself when The Reaper kills a busload of people.
We see he has a rather compulsive nature. He never let The Reaper case go and has very personal ties in this case. Not even after Foyet attacks him, if anything it’s worse. He brings the case file home.
But it’s certainly interesting to see yet another “villain” with that same tragic abusive father and submissive mother come into play with Hotch. We’re nearing a point where it’s getting hard to call it coincidence (and according to David Rossi, there simply is not such thing).
Haunted.
In the second episode of the fifth season, “Haunted”, Hotch voice’s over a Dickinson quote: “One need not be a chamber to be haunted, One need not be a house; The brain has corridors surpassing. Material place.” These quotes are often cheesy, if not a little cliché, but given the premise of this episode is in exploring the ways in which a man’s traumatic childhood has left him now grappling for a truth he can not define… well, maybe we can say the writers were onto something here.
Darrin Call, debatably the Unsub of “Haunted”, was abused by an alcoholic father. We see several signs of it throughout the episode-- Darrin’s delayed speech & severe neglect that leaves Darrin in dirty, hole-riddled clothing. If what we see is not enough, the reports that the team is given on Darrin explicitly state that he was extremely physically abused. It is this abuse that leads to the PTSD that he’s diagnosed with.
As sad and disheartening as Darrin Call’s life is, overall it’s the sort of episode that is forgotten over time. When it’s placed right after the episode that viewers have to watch Hotch say goodbye to Haley and Jack then, who is Darrin Call when compared to the agony of watching Hotch show genuine weakness? After watching Hotch lay in a hospital bed, tears in his eyes wondering if his son will remember him? His fears become our own and after watching George Foyet disarm and mutilate the one guy we’ve been led to believe for five seasons is infallibly, unflinchingly never going to break… well, Darrin Call has it bad but our focus is elsewhere.
It’s on Hotch, right?
The guy who is coming back to the job after only a month (and a day) off to recover. Who Morgan worries might have PTSD but he knows they can’t easily measure because Hotch wrote the questionnaire, he knows all the right answers. Who we see has had new locks installed since the attack and has Foyet’s file sitting open on a table for easy access. Who hears Darrin Call’s life (worked the same job without promotion for years before getting fired, no wife, no kids, a hermit) and bluntly asks why Darrin hasn’t just killed himself.
And let’s just take a moment to break down that comment. Hotch, who in the episode previously lost his wife and child, wants to know why a man who is steadily starting to sound a lot like him hasn’t just killed himself.
And I don’t say “sounds a lot like him” lightly.
Darrin Call has PTSD. Hotch, more than likely, has PTSD
Here are some signs just from that episode: hostility (he yelled at Garcia over something very small), self-destructive behavior (he ran into Darrin Call’s father’s house without a vest, back-up, or telling the other’s what he was doing), and guilt (blamed himself for missing the eye twitching Darrin exhibited because of his years of antipsychotic use)
Darrin Call was abused… this marks the second HEAVILY implied time that Hotch has been compared to another man abused by his father
Vincent Perrotta was the first with that hard to forget the exchange
George Foyet and his notably exactly the same past as Perrotta
“Haunted” feels like it’s supposed to prove to the audience that Hotch is losing it. He distances himself from Morgan, leaving every room that Morgan is in. He doesn’t pick up Garcia’s calls after Darrin Call attacks his therapist. The only glimpse we see of the old Hotch is with Emily, pulled to the side, but his guilt burns and he even brushes her off. Shaking his head and turning his back to her because somehow he should have seen something no one else did.
Throw in Reid’s comment about Call “victims are often drawn to the scene of their first trauma” and we’re painfully reminded of Hotch’s apartment. A place you’d think he’d want to escape but didn’t. The man was stabbed nine times in his own apartment and stayed in that same place. Almost sounds like that statement could be applied to Hotch too.
A dash of Hotch’s own comment about where Call would go to in his confusion and he says “to what he knows”, even the importance of how that orphanage is “where he became Darrin Call”. Where does Hotch go? What does Hotch know? The job.
So… we tally now three total Unsubs that Hotch has this direct relationship with. Three Unsubs with abusive fathers and mothers who couldn’t protect them. Hmm… coincidence?
Brothers Hotchner
Supervisor Special Agent Hotchner is a master of hiding, that is undeniable. It’s hard to see anything behind those furrowed brows and impersonal suits and that’s likely for a reason. However, anyone with a little sibling can tell you that no one on this Earth can and will annoy the ever-loving shit out of you like a sibling.
But that’s not really important. Sean and Hotch don’t talk about their parents. At all. Ever.
Hotch says that when Sean was in the first grade he got sent off to boarding school. “I was the screw-up making bad choices”. Interesting enough of a statement to make but you throw in the rough ages of Sean and Hotch at that time and it’s a little more than just “interesting”. You have Hotch at roughly 14-15 getting into trouble just like Morgan did at that same age (coincidence???).
(now you can certainly look at Hotch’s parentification vs. Sean’s immaturity doubled with substance abuse problems but we’d be stretching. “The Tribe” touches on the parentification but Sean just calls it “the big brother” thing and tells Hotch that he’s not Sean’s father and it’s fine it’s whatever. Hotch is a bit pushy. That’s not new. Substance abuse can just be a problem, it doesn’t have to be bc they were abused but again… a little coincidental)
So... was Aaron Hotchner abused as a child? I certainly think so
Ah, thank you so much!! I hope these don't suck... I was trying for ten, because you didn't ask for any of the other things, but let's see how many I can actually come up with...
🥀 and a ship (romantic or platonic) and i’ll write some sad headcanons
after Hardwick, they never do a custodial interview together again. Hotch only ever goes with Derek or Dave, and he will always schedule Reid's so someone else has to go with him
Reid was on the team when Adrian Bale happened. It was one of his first cases with the BAU, and he had so much faith in Gideon that when Hotch and Morgan disagreed with Gideon, Reid sided with him. It indirectly led to the death of six agents and Hotch never truly forgot that
there was only one occasion when Hotch told Reid to shut up. Obviously, there were several times when he would gently touch his arm or tell him they didn’t have the time but there was only one time he said shut up. Reid looked close to tears, Hotch felt like absolute shit, but he couldn’t take it back
after Maeve, Aaron drove Spencer home. When Spencer got out the car, Hotch said he was sorry. Spencer just looked at him and said: “Well maybe if you had been quicker, you wouldn’t have to be.” And it wasn’t fair of him, but it was easy to blame someone else. The worst part was Hotch just took it
whenever they had events or seminars or things like that, Reid would ask Hotch to do his tie for him. He could do it himself, but he preferred the way Hotch did it. This stopped after Gideon left
Reid looks to Hotch and sees what a father is meant to be. It means that in his head, Hotch is invincible and can come back from anything because come on, that’s his father figure. It means whenever Hotch does get injured, Reid can’t handle it. He has to leave
a part of Hotch resents the relationship Gideon has with Reid, and then he feels like a terrible person because Reid is like ten years younger than him, he shouldn’t be getting jealous, but he was the one that held the unit together after Boston, so it still hurts
Reid is well-aware of Hotch’s feelings, and then he ends up feeling guilty because he wants Gideon to appreciate everything Hotch has done but he doesn’t know how to say that to either of them
at Haley’s funeral, they sent Reid after Hotch when he wasn’t coming out of the bathroom because he was least likely to snap at Reid. Hotch was sat on the floor, and when Reid asked him if he could do anything, all Hotch said was “I need a parent” and he didn’t mean to, but Reid can’t be that person for Hotch so he just said “I know.”
whenever Hotch is unwell, Reid feels the need to do everything he can to make him feel better otherwise something bad will happen- a habit formed in childhood- but Hotch feels the need to act like nothing happens- also a habit formed in childhood
on the other hand, when Reid is unwell, he’ll reject any and all help because he grew up being the parent and doesn’t know how, but Hotch is an oldest sibling so it always devolves into an argument about boundaries and doubt in capabilities
Every time I remember Hotch had a bike in his office during season one and it was like to be implied he was biking to work I just-- I don't even know what to do with this information. Like good job you little environmental king but also like how was he doing that? Does he have a little backpack with his suit in it or is like full on Mike Ross to work just in his suit? How didn't he get hit? People in Virginia can't drive for shit and when you throw them in with people from Maryland and New Jersey that's dangerous.
There's no way he didn't get hit but good for him and his little bike
He probably picked up the biking to work thing in Seattle. That's literally the most Pacific Northwest thing anyone could ever do. Tried to bring it East, but it ended badly. No more bike to work.
But... does that mean he would take up the whole space with his bike in the elevator, and force others to wait downstairs for the next one, only to carry it through the bullpen all sweaty and proud of himself and hang it on the wall next to his diplomas everyday? So that everyone can see how healthy he is? I'm beginning to think he might have some issues...
"Sometimes, there are no words, no clever quotes to neatly sum up what's happened that day...''
When on a case, Hotch is always silently observing, ordering others and staying seemingly unphased, much like you would expect from your stoic boss. BUT THEN the show gives him a minute to just talk like in season 4 finale and when he does speak his mind, when we actually get to learn the way he views things that surround him, it's such a rare treasure, a chance to gain his perspective.
And of course in these rare moments he lets his poetic side show, admitting he had always been looking for a deeper meaning to this job much like Gideon had, keeping his legacy in a way. He isn't much of a talker but when he finds the timing right, his soul shows through in every word. And you know they would often exchange their insight after a tough case on the jet, except Hotch doesn't really open up in these instances. I can't be the only one who got the impression that he tends to either shut down completely, or get the last say that ends the conversation before anyone elaborates any further. Hence why it felt so special to me, he didn't share that thought with the team, he didn't expect (or even want) them to understand, he challenged us to acknowledge his point of view there, and try to comprehend what drives him at the end of the day.
And people think his strength comes from being scary here and there! But to me he's the ultimate protector, almost like he decided to take on all the darkness that surround their job, to prevent anyone from having to ''stare down the abyss'' themselves for as long as he can. He decided to be the one that intimidates, the one that shouts or the one that people fear. But am I saying he was clever by doing so?
I've always appreciated how Hotch had stayed a very private person even towards us, viewers, throughout the show. It only made moments like this even more special, you can't help but absorb every piece of his mind he lets anyone have insight into.

So I listened to Nothing's Gonna Hurt You Baby because of your addition to the Hotch gifs and FUCK THAT HURT!! Although... I think I'm a big fan?? It was strangely soothing.... so thank youuu
No problem, and strangely soothing is the perfect description for this song. To me it has that "am I really supposed to be calm right now? " feeling to it. Idk, maybe it's stupid but I'm just picturing someone in total distress, all shaking, and then someone comes up to them and starts singing it but keeps their distance, and the song itself doesn't really help, it's more about the presence?
In other words yeah, the song reminds me of Hotch. What can I say, I have a lot of those!
I just love seeing him being comfortable around other people, he never really got to experience that again, not after she was gone. He never let himself rest once she wasn't there.
*nothing's gonna hurt you baby by cigarettes after sex playing in the background*
There’s just something about Hotch’s knowledge of the Bible and religion that haunts me. Why does he know it so well? Why so intimately? Why is he always so level when speaking about it? There’s never any emotion behind those lines. They’re flat. Like he’s fighting to stay neutral. Like if he doesn’t, the floodgates will open and he won’t be able to stop himself from opening up. Why is he so detached whenever he references it?
Like everything points to him growing up in an incredibly conservative, religious small town where being different was a curse and they preached the fire and brimstone. Where they never spoke about forgiveness. Where they never let people repent, or atone, or mess up because they believed in perfection. Where children were terrified of the thoughts they couldn’t control and every threat involved references to hell.
Where a child telling their priest that sometimes their dad hits them, but other times he brings them ice cream is seen to be normal because children have to respect their parents, and it must be his fault that this is happening to him.
Glad to know others noticed that too! It's the way his voice gets so monotone whenever he's referencing anything religion-related. This is legit, he acts that way when he's detaching himself from the thing he's talking about.
I grew up in a small religious town myself, and the feeling of something sinister inside you never truly leaves you, no matter how ridiculous it may seem. I could see Hotch generally believing he needs to fit in at all cost, because once you're an outcast in your hometown you will always feel like a misfit, like you don't get to belong anywhere anymore. Him being well aware of how much of a mockery this religion that's supposed to connect all the people in town truly is, how much harm it brings makes perfect sense to me. Since he was raised in such environment, he can't really detach himself from the views that remain deep rooted in him after all these years.
I like this! This adds a new layer to his character.
So I’m rewatching Route 66 (09x05) and I never noticed that the license plate numbers in the dreams Hotch had during surgery were 509 905 which is the episode Haley died and then the current episode where Haley’s back.
Also Route 66 doesn’t have any opening quote! Even the very structure of the show got messed up without Hotch being present to keep things together and in the right order.
Another fun thing to think about: Hotch got stabbed in-between episodes (and seasons), but the Reaper surprised him in his apartment at the end of 4x26, which is the 91st episode of the whole series. The very same stab wounds reopened in episode 9x05, so the 191st episode of the whole run. They are exactly 100 episodes apart, when the 100th episode is about the most important moment in Hotch’s story. So, he kind of owns this number.

Hear me out: I have no idea what this is but I’ve got three thousand words of this shit and it just keeps coming so before I throw myself into this new project, I’m gonna let you guys dip your toes in and see if you guys like and then I’m going to keep going anyways but–
Anyways, stay tuned for my rendition of Hotch’s backstory:
November 2, 1971
Virginia in the fall finds itself choking on tourists ambling about wherever they can find a high spot to rest. Stopping to watch deer jump out from the underbrush or hear receding birds shrieking their discontent at being found. The mountains draw in lots of attention but they’re hard to miss from a distance and there’s something about woods that draw the curious dangerously close. Moths to the light, there’s something about hearing the woods call out that never makes people question things as much as they should. Never thinking to back away until it’s too late.
In a 50s Crosley station wagon, Aaron Hotchner is born silently. His father’s large hand over his still, pale chest as he makes no move to draw in a breath. It’s the woods calling his unnamed body– attempting to lure the baby away from the life that awaits him. In the woods, deep where there is no warmth or chills only comfort and ease. Where he’ll never know the sting of the palm urging his little lungs to work across his face. He’ll be safe from the monsters that await him in the future he doesn’t have to have if he just comes to the woods. To their safety and their love.
