Hello everybody; ModernDayBard here with the final installment in 'Demons'. Thank you all so much for your support of this story! This is by far my longest project to date, and I couldn't have finished it without your support and encouragement. You guys are awesome!
Because I am required to say it: I do not own Criminal Minds or any cannon characters/events; just those of my own creation.


David Rossi's expansive back yard was had been turned into a party area for the night—the ground covered to make a dance floor, the trees covered in strings of fairy lights, and tables of drink and food scattered around the area. The people gradually filed in as they made their way from the church, talking in excited voices about the ceremony they'd just witnessed.

Rossi, who'd arrived first, smiled proudly that the plan had come together. There'd been some expected protests from the happy couple, but his insistence had won out for this part of the evening, at least. He was soon joined by most of the BAU team—Reid, Prentiss, Morgan, Hotch, JJ, and Garcia—along with their families. A few, less familiar faces came next, including an older couple that'd been introduced as Colonel and Mrs. Meyers.

The next clump consisted of most of the Madison family—sans Joseph—along with Jason Johnson, his wife Brianna, their 16-month-old boy, Joshua, Brandon Johnson, and his wife of three months, Marianne.

The last to arrive were the guests of honor, and a cheer went up as they made their way, hand-in-hand into the yard and the crowd of well-wishers. Rossi smiled proudly from where he stood, waiting for a break in the mob, and he found himself wishing all cases he had worked could have such a happy ending, even if it was almost two decades later. He raised the glass in his hands in silent toast to the new couple, Mr. and Mrs. Madison.

Congratulations, both of you.


So, yeah. I'd originally pictured the ceremony itself happening in the yard as well, like it did for JJ, then I remembered that was a surprise, and Amanda probably wouldn't have been comfortable having the ceremony itself at Rossi's place, but I could see him insisting on hosting the reception, so that's my reasoning there.
Anyway, thank you all once again for coming with me on this journey, and I hope you enjoyed it! As always, if you saw something you liked, or something you think I can fix/improve on for next time, don't hesitate to leave a review and let me know!


So, I suppose this announcement has actually been a long time coming. My approach to fanfiction as always been to, when it was possible, completely finish a story before I even begin to post it, and while I post t, write the next set of stories. More than a year ago, when I began posting this story and Watch What Happens, I tried to do exactly that, but both those stories died, and this past fall was far too busy to even think of starting another one. I tried a different story over winter break, but that story has stalled, and again, spring ate too much into my writing time.
That brings us to now. I find myself here, at the end of two stories, with nothing left to post but the final chapter of In Days to Come. After that, nothing. For a long time. See, I want to be a professional writer, and since I just graduated from college, this summer is when I'm going to be trying to get some kind of a job and write enough things that I and start shopping my work around.
This means that, after I post these three chapters, I will be taking an extended hiatus from fanfiction, unless inspiration for a one-shot strikes. It may. It has in the past. I don't intend to leave forever, as I do have other fic ideas rattling around in my skull still, but it will likely be a long, long time.
Thank you so much for everyone who as followed any of my stories, and put up with some less-than-stellar writing up front. And thanks for those following this story, the response has been incredible, and so far beyond anything I could've hoped for when I came to this site.

Hopefully, I'll see you around!
