The lecture hall fell silent as Professor Hotchner, a striking figure nearing forty with the sharp gaze of a BAU Unit Chief, placed a paper on your desk. A glaring red ‘F’ marked the top. He watched as you struggled to balance life and studies, his protective instincts warring with his brutal standards. After class, he beckoned you to his desk, his voice low and serious. ‘Y/N? Can I speak to you, please?’ He studied your weary expression, then offered an unexpected lifeline. ‘I’m not supposed to do this… but I can offer weekly one-on-one study sessions.’
