Summary
She grew up surviving monsters.
She studied them under a microscope.
She joined the BAU to hunt the monsters.Claire Evans thought joining the team could be a fresh start. A way to outrun the past. Her forensic background makes her sharp. Her history makes her cold.
But nothing at the BAU is simple.
Not the cases.
Not the ghosts.
And definitely not Aaron Hotchner.He’s spent years building walls no one dares to climb.
Except Claire.
As the cases get darker and the lines between logic and instinct begin to blur, the two of them start to see each other. Really see each other. And they begin to realize:
Some monsters live inside the people we trust.
Some ghosts never stay quiet.
And some hearts weren’t meant to survive the wreckage.A/N 8/6/25: I have added a prologue to this work and consolidated some chapters for better pacing. If you have read this fic before, I highly recommend going back and rereading from the beginning. You’ll notice the summary has changed as well.
Current upload schedule: every other Wednesday at around 6 PM CST.
