Author has written 4 stories for Criminal Minds.

Welcome to SSAShowerThoughts. This is an account dedicated to the magnificant and sometimes scary story ideas that come to mind when I am in the shower (trust me, there are a lot.)

This is not my first fanfiction account and after the 4/5 years of being here, I have come to realise it probably won't be my last. I have a few inactive ones that I closed and cannot see myself reopening and an active one with some incomplete stories that I am slowly plodding my way through. For those interested, my active account is OnceUponAnatomyMinds which holds a few Grey's Anatomy, Once Upon a Time and Criminal Minds stories.

I have two very demanding jobs which is usually the reason behind my slow updates but I also suffer from depression and anxiety which can take hold of my muse for a while and I have no control over this I am afraid. I try my best to write through my bad days due to writing being my only escape but most of what comes out of those days is garbage.

Some topics that I write about can hit very close to home and be somewhat triggering but I write with passion and experience and always put a warning before hand. I like to use my writing as an escape or to even put characters into situations that I am or have been through which is why some can be very overpowering.

I would like to use this account to mainly focus on my Criminal Minds stories as the show is one of the reasons I first started writing and has given me so much (including my best friend who I met on this site back in 2013) but I may throw in other fandoms if I get the inspiration.

My favourite characater is Jennifer 'JJ' Jaraeu and all of my stories will most likely be about her (it is very rare I write based on another character) but I always include the entire team and give them all a chance to speak out and make an impact during the story. An agent is never left behind. I mainly ship JJ with Morgan or Emily but I do also write JJ and Hotch stories as well, so these are the main three ships I focus on.

A little about me to keep you going (if you somehow got through all of the above.) My name is Leah. I live in the UK and a small town nobody has every heard of. I am 19 years old and currently working in retail and hospitality trying to figure out if I have the mental energy to go back to University or not. I have a younger sister who is ten years younger than me and is a pain in the ass but also my best friend. I love TV shows so if you have TV suggestions don't hesitate to throw them at me because I love myself a good binge. My favourite singer is Lily Kershaw and my favourite band is Panic! at the Disco but I also love U2. I am a LESBIAN and love myself for it (and women ofc.) I ramble a lot and I am going to shut up now!

Thank you for taking the time to vist my profile and I hope you enjoy your stay at SSAShowerThoughts. Never hesitate to PM me or leave me a message in a review as I am always here to talk about anything.

Stay dark and twisty profilers.

Aaron Hotchner was a very respectable man. There were people in the bureau who would have killed to be in his position. He was the lawyer with a 98% success rate who scored a profiling job running the most pristine and desirable unit in the FBI; he was the man young recruits would write on their resume that they wanted to be like when they graduated the academy. Well, he was.
