everything has changed | aaron hotchner x reader
swiftmas ♱ heyyy.... so this is super late😬. I am now on break so hopefully the future ones will be on time💋
summary ♱ working at a daycare has its perks, a big one being a certain single dad.
warnings ♱ awkward flirting, my lack of understanding how daycares are run, ooc aaron probably cause I haven't watched this show in forever
swiftmas ♱ navigation ♱ follow my library account @baysfics to see when I post!
loud. if you had to use one word to describe your job it would be loud. you of course loved your work, but being completely overwhelmed has become a normal thing.
the end of the day was always the hardest. trying to gather all of the kids items, putting shoes on, getting through checkout, and cleaning up afterwards.
one little boy in particular however made your job a bit easier. Jack Hotchner, an adorable three year old, was polite, well behaved, and sweet. his father, aaron hotchner, was serious but seemed nice.
all you new about him was he worked a lot, and rarely was the one to pick jack up. 90% of the time it was his aunt to come pick him up.
but today was different. when your coworker said jacks parent was here for pickup you help his little winter coat on and backpack and walked with him to the front desk for checkout.
there stood arron, dressed in his usual black suit. his jet black hair was shiny and put together like always. his blank almost cold expression shifted to a much happier one when he saw jack running towards him.
the little boy hugged his father's legs in greeting, receiving a hug in return. you smile as you walk up to aaron and pass him the drawing jack made in class today.
"jack wanted to make sure u gave this to you," aaron smiles softly and takes it, looking over the two little stick figures playing in the snow, representing them.
he glances back up at you, nodding once at you, "thank you. youre jacks main teacher, correct?"
his voice sounding so clear is surprising to you. the most you heard from him was a quiet goodmorning or bye. you would see him mutter words to jack, but they were only for jack to here. the fact he talked to you at all was completely out of the norm.
you feel your cheeks heat up, suddenly realizing now that you have to speak directly to him how handsome he really is.
you smile softly and nod, "yes, I am." you realize too late how awkward you sound.
he nods, reaching out his hand to shake yours, "jack talks about you a lot. you seem to be his favorite here."
your heart swells at that, knowing jack was your favorite too. your heart also skips a beat at the feeling of shaking his hand. his skin is rough, yet his touch is gentle.
"thats so sweet. he brings you up a ton too." your hand drops back to your side and you fiddle with your jeans, suddenly feeling very flustered, a butterfly party happening in your tummy.
he smiles, a bit brighter now. he picks up his son, who is growing more and more tired by the second. he glances away before meeting your eyes again. "I uh, I appreciate all you do for my son. I work a lot out of state so, knowing my son has a good place to go is uh, comforting."
your smile widens, and you chuckle softly, "it my pleasure. he's a great kid."
you both continue to hold eye contact, your breathing calming a bit. he has kind eyes. tired ones, yes, but kind. he finally breaks the little bit of silence by clearing his throat, glancing down.
"well uh, we should be heading out. thank you again." before you can speak again he walks out, son in his arms.
even after he has disappeared from your eye site, you continue to stand and tare at where he was. you almost feel giddy, like a teenager who just met their new crush. you snap out of your daze when you realize you still need to help with checkout. you quickly get back to it, but can't help but thinking that everything has changed.

you belong with me || steve harrington x reader
swiftmas ♱ second fic for my swiftmas!!! important note is that I'm not following the shows canon, so that's why the timeliness is off. I hope you enjoy this fic. im not the biggest fan of how it turned out, but i still am okay with it lol! if you'd like to see the December 1st fic you can click the first link below!! also SO SORRY this is late!!
summary ♱ you love Steve, but he must be stupid if he doesn't realize you two are meant to be together.
warnings/contains ♱ bit of jealousy, friends to lovers, breakup.
swiftmas ♱ navigation ♱ follow my library account @baysfics !!
it was a tuesday night, you sat in your room on your bed, listening to AC/DC. your pajamas were loose and comfortable as you wrote in your diary.
you suddenly hear a tap, tap, tap coming from your window. you furrow your brows, standing up to investigate. any vit of panic settles down when you see it's just your best friend, steve. but as soo. as panic left you worry took its place. why did steve come here so late while it was snowing?!
he gives a bashful smile as he continues to knock on your cold window. he was thankfully wearing a big jacket, covered with melting snow. you quickly rush over and open the window. he ungracfully climbs through and lands on your floor, getting everything around him wet in the process.
you scoff, shaking your head. "are you insane? like actually? what are you doing here so late?" you grab a random dirty tee you had laying on your floor to wipe some of the water now on your windowsill and floor.
he closes the window and takes off his wet coat. he sighs, tossing it on the ground and flopping onto your bed. "just felt like it."
you sigh, shaking your head. you toss the shirt next to his jacket and sit next to him. you can't help but feel your cheeks warm at his appearance. he's all messy hair, flushed cheeks and pretty smiles. you hate your heart for fluttering.
"I thought you were spending the night with nancy?" you liked nancy, you really did. but she didn't come off as the right girl for steve. he needed someone who fully understood him. his personality, his story, his everything. someone like you.
his smile wavers at the mention of his girlfriend. he shrugs, letting out a forced chuckle. "yea well, I pissed her off again so that didn't happen."
you furrow your brows. it seems like she's always upset with him. "what did you do now?"
he adverts his eyes down, shrugging. "you tell me... but it's fine. we'll move past it, we always do."
"a relationship shouldn't feel like a constant battle, you know." you hate seeing how stressed steve had become. their relationship clearly wasn't working.
"yea, whatever. can i sleep here tonight?" he huffs out a bit of air, his voice low. he looks back at you, effortlessly giving the best puppy dog eyes.
you nod, tossing your diary on your bedside table and pulling back the covers. he wordlessly climbs in, laying his head comfortably against your pillow. you lay down next to him, keeping a good distance still. you turn off your lamp, the room devoid of any light except from the moon.
steve closes his eyes, squirming around until he was comfortable. you turn your head to stare at him. his pouty lips, his long eye lashes, his perfect nose. you can hear his soft breath and feel his warmth. you can't help thinking this is how ought to be. always.
——
you and steve arrive at school together, but he soon gets swept away by nancy, who had apparently needed only one night to once again forgive him. she looked pretty and put together as always. her white button up, her red short skirt, her white stocking and heeled mary janes. seeing her made you notice your lackluster outfit. a tee shirt, jeans and sneakers.
you barely saw steve until it was time to leave, since he was your ride. you got to his car before him, so you leaned against it waiting for him. finally you saw him walking up to the car, a almost confused expression on his face. he doesn't look at you as he gets in the car and turns it on. you get into the passenger seat. you place your hand on his shoulder.
"hey, are you feeling okay?" you furrow your brows. he stares at the wheel, nodding absent-mindedly.
"me and nancy broke up." your eyes widened, looking down.
"shit, I'm sorry... are you okay?" he nods again, turning to look at you. you were surprised at the lack of sadness in his eyes, only seeing realization.
"she never liked my jokes, or my music, or my anything... but you do." you notice him getting closer. your heart rate picks up, feeling your cheeks heat up.
"steve..." he finally makes the big move, pressing his soft lips against yours. you gasp softly but respond by kissing him back, gently cupping his cheeks.
you didn't know what this would mean for your relationship long term, but you hoped he finally understands he belongs with you.

back to december | james potter x reader
swiftmas ♱ third fic for swiftmas!!! I'll be honest, getting these written on time (or close to on time I should say😬) has been harder than I thought but also fun!! I hope you all enjoy this one. the link to the others is below!!
summary ♱ James can be overwhelming with his love, and in a want for freedom, you gave away the best thing you had.
warnings ♱ angst, reader is mean lowkey, cursing, rushed ending.
swiftmas ♱ navigation ♱ follow my library account @baysfics to see when I post!
james is a lover. he can't help but be.
his love is big. loud, unashamed, energetic, and sometimes overwhelming.
of course, you knew this going into the relationship. and that's the frustrating part, you knew this. yet still let it bother you.
unlike most of your past partners, james' love didn't have a off button. he's constant kisses, hugs, sweet words, holding hands, pda, everything.
having never experienced that, you understandably became overestimated. but instead of voicing that, you lashed out.
that day is still burned in the back of both of your minds.
——
you sat in your dorm, james cuddled up at your side as always. your transfiguration homework laid on your lap.
homework was piling up, your dorm was a mess, you hadn't had time to shower, your head hurt, the room was too bright, and james wouldn't stop talking or rubbing your hand.
you finally let out a loud sigh, turning your head towards him with a glare. "do you ever shut the fuck up, james? do you not see me trying to do homework?"
his pretty doe eyes widened. his pouty lips fell open slightly in a sad gasp. he adverts his gaze, cheeks flushing.
"I'm sorry, I didn't realize I was annoying you..." he sounded sad, like a little kid who got told off by their parents.
but you were far to overwhelmed to care. "fuck james, just- can you leave? I won't be able to get anything done if you're here all over me!"
his bright blue eyes went a bit glossy, as he stood up from your bed. "I'm sorry, I didn't realize I was all over you!"
you groan, sighsling heavily. "it's not just right now, it's always! you always want to hang out, you always want to hug and kiss and touch, touch, touch! you're just too much..."
you regretted the words as soon as they came out of your mouth. he looks down, and opens his mouth to speak but is too hurt to get anything out. he instead just rushes out of your room.
——
that was over two weeks ago. you tried through the time since to talk to him, but he would always sneak away. the glares from sirius and the disapproving stares from remus didn't help.
and you understood why he didn't want to see you. but christmas break was at the end of the week and you couldn't handle not apologizing before you both went back home.
mid afternoon you walk to james' dorm and knock. you know he's in there but the door stays closed. you sighs, feeling defeated. you knock again, not willing to give up
"james, please can I come in? I really need to talk to you," you clear your throat, trying to keep your voice steady, "listen, if I could go back in time and change what I said I would, but I can't. please can we just talk?"
after a few moments the door opens. james doesn't look in your eyes, and instead stares at the ground and fiddles with his fingers. you heart breaks at how awkward this feels.
you let out a shaky breath, smiling softly. "hey... um, can I come in?" he nods, stepping aside so you can come in.
you step in, taking a seat on his messy bed. he sits next to you, but doesn't speak.
you knew you just had to start talking or you both would just continue sitting in uncomfortable silence.
"james i- I was wrong. I was mean for no reason, and I took your love for granted. but- I can't handle being apart. I miss your tan skin, your sweet smile... you're always so good to me. I love your hugs and kisses and your everything-"
he cuts you off by planting his soft lips onto yours. he cups your cheeks and pulls you closer.
he pulls back, resting his forehead against yours, "I forgive you, but pads may need some more convincing..."

Teardrops On My Guitar | Ellie W. x reader
swiftmas ♱ this is the first day of swiftmas!!! I'm so excited and hope you are too! you can find this fic plus the other day on the link below!
summary ♱ your best friend ellie can't seem to understand that she's tearing your poor heart apart.
warnings/contains ♱ angst, no happy ending (sorry lol), NO Dina hate on this blog🙏, but reader is jealous, ellie is oblivious, RUSHED!!!
swiftmas ♱ navigation ♱ my library account is @baysfics, then on notifications to see when I post a fic!
the small chilly room was filled with smoke, guitar sounds and giggles. you sat next to ellie on her twin bed as she softly strummed her guitar. the sun had set a while ago, not that you or ellie were paying any attention. it had become common for you two to stay up until morning playing around with your guitars and eating food you'd managed to sneak. you two had done so since you first met, back when you were both just fifteen. in more recent years, a certain special plant had joined the mix.
"okay wait so... what cord was that again?" you asked, staring at her veiny hands. she continued to stare up at the ceiling, not at all hearing or paying attention to you.
you giggle softly, "earth to williams..." you wave your hand in front of her face, finally bringing her out of her trance. she blinks a few times, turning her head to look into your eyes. "huh? yea, what is it?" she speaks quietly in her normal raspy voice.
"did you even hear what I said, els?" you raise a brow, smiling softly. this wasn't the first time tonight she seemed to be completely ignoring you.
she sighs, chuckling at herself, "sorry, I'm just..." she suddenly pauses, questioning if she should say what she wants to. "you know dina, right?"
you nod, urging her to continue. she let's out a shaky breath, "do you think- I mean... what do you think of her? like... as a person?" ellie seemed almost nervous, which she never was around you.
you furrow your brows, confused as to why she would ask. you knew dina, sure, but barely. she seems like a nice girl, and is definitely beautiful. you shrug, "I mean, she seems cool I guess. I don't really talk to her. why do you ask?"
ellies pale cheeks grow red as she shrugs and rubs the back of her neck. "just you know, wondering," she glances back at you for a second, "do you think... you know, maybe me and her seem like we'd make a good, you know... match?"
your breath hitches at her words. a good match? why would she care about that?
you shrug, suddenly feeling awkward. "uh, I mean, I've never really thought about it before but I-I guess."
she chuckles, but there's no humor. "I don't know... I mean, I hope we would. there's something about her..."
breathing started to feel more difficult and you felt a sting in your eyes. you sit up, forcing a small smile. "I um... I should probably head home, it's getting pretty late."
she furrows her brows, confused as to why you're leaving so early. "oh, uh yea okay, do you want me to walk you home?"
you shake your head no, standing up and pulling on the big winter coat you had burrowed from joel. before anything else can be said you walk out, into the cold and icy outside.
what's so special about dina? sure, she's pretty and friendly, and smart and hardworking but aren't you too? you shake your head at your own thoughts. ellie is your best friend, nothing more or less. who cares who she's into?
you, apparently.
the rest of the walk home is filled with confusing thoughts and snow falling gently onto you.
———
the old barn was filled with the sound of music and laughter. maria had been successful in bringing some holiday fun to jackson yet again with another christmas party.
you stand in one of the corners, keeping an eye on the entrance. ellie had promised she'd come to the party and drag joel along with her. you sip on some water, waiting until later in the night to drive into some beer.
you glance at the open barn doors for the hundredth time and finally see ellie- and dina?
ellie walks in wearing her normal jeans and one of joels sweaters. around her arm is dina, looking perfect as always. dina smiles at everyone and greets her friends. ellie stands at her side, looking around the room. her eyes meet yours and she smiles softly, but makes no attempt at coming closer to you.
you force a fake smile, nodding your head at her. you can feel your heart break a little more each second. the urge to leave is overwhelming, and you give in. you quietly and discreetly grab your coat and make your way through the large group of people to the doors. you manage to slip out without anyone noticing, which you cant decide is good or bad.
you can hardly see the snowy path through the thick tears in your eyes. it's clear ellie and dina have something going on. all you can hope is that dina treats her right and knows how lucky she is.

loud. if you had to use one word to describe your job it would be loud. you of course loved your work, but being completely overwhelmed has become a normal thing.
the end of the day was always the hardest. trying to gather all of the kids items, putting shoes on, getting through checkout, and cleaning up afterwards.
one little boy in particular however made your job a bit easier. Jack Hotchner, an adorable three year old, was polite, well behaved, and sweet. his father, aaron hotchner, was serious but seemed nice.
all you new about him was he worked a lot, and rarely was the one to pick jack up. 90% of the time it was his aunt to come pick him up.
but today was different. when your coworker said jacks parent was here for pickup you help his little winter coat on and backpack and walked with him to the front desk for checkout.
there stood arron, dressed in his usual black suit. his jet black hair was shiny and put together like always. his blank almost cold expression shifted to a much happier one when he saw jack running towards him.
the little boy hugged his father's legs in greeting, receiving a hug in return. you smile as you walk up to aaron and pass him the drawing jack made in class today.
"jack wanted to make sure u gave this to you," aaron smiles softly and takes it, looking over the two little stick figures playing in the snow, representing them.
he glances back up at you, nodding once at you, "thank you. youre jacks main teacher, correct?"
his voice sounding so clear is surprising to you. the most you heard from him was a quiet goodmorning or bye. you would see him mutter words to jack, but they were only for jack to here. the fact he talked to you at all was completely out of the norm.
you feel your cheeks heat up, suddenly realizing now that you have to speak directly to him how handsome he really is.
you smile softly and nod, "yes, I am." you realize too late how awkward you sound.
he nods, reaching out his hand to shake yours, "jack talks about you a lot. you seem to be his favorite here."
your heart swells at that, knowing jack was your favorite too. your heart also skips a beat at the feeling of shaking his hand. his skin is rough, yet his touch is gentle.
"thats so sweet. he brings you up a ton too." your hand drops back to your side and you fiddle with your jeans, suddenly feeling very flustered, a butterfly party happening in your tummy.
he smiles, a bit brighter now. he picks up his son, who is growing more and more tired by the second. he glances away before meeting your eyes again. "I uh, I appreciate all you do for my son. I work a lot out of state so, knowing my son has a good place to go is uh, comforting."
your smile widens, and you chuckle softly, "it my pleasure. he's a great kid."
you both continue to hold eye contact, your breathing calming a bit. he has kind eyes. tired ones, yes, but kind. he finally breaks the little bit of silence by clearing his throat, glancing down.
"well uh, we should be heading out. thank you again." before you can speak again he walks out, son in his arms.
even after he has disappeared from your eye site, you continue to stand and tare at where he was. you almost feel giddy, like a teenager who just met their new crush. you snap out of your daze when you realize you still need to help with checkout. you quickly get back to it, but can't help but thinking that everything has changed.
