Steam has many connotations in this story.  Some plot, a lot of smut.  Hotch is angry, JJ is the only one who can reach him but gets more than she bargained for.  Yes inspired in part by recent events and only wish that things had turned out differently for CBS/TG.  I don't want to debate it or point fingers, just want to say I will miss my favorite character but plan to keep Hotch and JJ living happily ever after and keep having lots of sex in my AU fanfic land.  This story is mostly Hotch/JJ but the other characters make guest appearances.

“JJ, I’m not gonna let you sleep on the sofa while I’m comfortable in a bed,” Hotch frowns at her, and JJ can’t help but feel a surge of affection towards him for being so utterly oblivious.

“Oh yeah, I’m not sleeping on the sofa either,” she almost laughs at the confusion on his face. “We’re both adults, Hotch. We’ve known each other for almost a decade. We’ve slept next to each other on the jet hundreds of times. I’m fairly sure we’ll survive sharing a bed for two nights.”

(In which JJ and Hotch end up sharing a bed while away at a conference, and Emily wins a bet.)

No one would ever believe he'd agree to this. But, when Hailey suggests an annual day of freedom from their marital vows he does.

Now, nearly eight years later, one day a year is no longer enough for either of them. JJ/Hotch. Rating M.

Entry to the Smut-off challenge on facebook. Pairing: JJ/Hotch. Scenario: Pair goes to an adult store only to come home to try out their purchases. I put a little spin on this: JJ and Hotch both inadvertantly end up at the same adult store when their two best friends bring them along for the ride. Smut ensues soon after. Rated NC-17. 

VERY loosely based on the psychodrama episode in season 2, mild spoilers for that I suppose. Hotch/JJ centric but not really shipping. First chapter slightly rushed as setup then story pace slows down. More summary inside.  First published 5/29/11.

It's time for annual reviews at the BAU.  Hotch/JJ, mostly PWP, a little plot but I wouldn't call it substantial.  More of putting them in a room together with blinds drawn and letting the sparks fly.  Small spoiler for season finale.  No beta's used, feedback welcome but please keep criticism constructive.  Definitely for adults only - rated NC-17, proceed with caution.  This will be a two shot, may be my first and last fic of this nature, we'll see.  Also my first time posting to this site, so apologies in advance for any posting errors.
