COFFEE ~ Spencer Reid [1]

authors note;

THIS IS LONG BUT I RECOMMEND READING IT. It's a heads up on everything to come in the story. Also, apologies for the aggression. Oh, well.

I do not own any of the characters or plots, I only own Arabella Carson and her plotlines and storylines.

Now, I would like to thank you all for reading, but I am going to give some trigger warnings.

"COFFEE" follows seasons one and two of Criminal Minds and involves rather dark themes such as violence, murder, sexual assault, abuse, drug use, drug addictions, torture, and other sickening themes. They might be somewhat descriptive, and I apologize in advance, I will let you know what episode each chapter revolves around and if any of the main characters go through something I will need to describe, I'll leave a trigger warning in the beginning.

Arabella herself has a rather dark humor that comes out in some of the worst times, and even though you might not agree with her timing or her jokes in general, that is the only way she knows how to cope with her job.

Please keep in mind that the topics she jokes about do not mean that she doesn't care about them or for them. Dark humor is just her way of pushing through so that she can catch the bad people.

Also, Arabella's faceclaim is Danielle Rose Russell, which some people might think is strange because of the age gap between the two actors. I would like to stress the fact that Arabella is 22 years old, and I'm starting from season 1, where Spencer is 23 turning 24.

Personally, I think we're good, but if it makes you uncomfortable, just imagine someone else. (i don't really need to know who, but if you feel the need to comment, go nuts)

I will be writing Arabella as her own character, not just Spencer's love interest, so I will be exploring her character more and writing her into scenes that might not have Spencer in them. In fact, the chapters that are based around S1E3, are mostly just Ara working with Hotch and Elle.

THIS IS GOING TO BE A SLOWBURN LOVESTORY, SO IF YOU WANT SOMETHING FAIRLY FAST PACED, THIS ISN'T IT.

At some point in time, as Ara and Spencer's relationship develops, I might write in the pregnancy trope. I don't want to hear shit about it, you all may not enjoy children but I believe that Spencer deserves the chance to be an amazing dad, so kindly fuck off with the negativity.

Sorry if that's aggressive, but I deal with enough bullshit on my other stories. I know you all might find it annoying or overrated, but I see it as a step forward in their relationship and their futures. Don't worry though, I don't plan on anything happening till the later seasons. Again, slowburn people. Slowburn.

On that note, constructive criticism is always welcome, criticism in general is just rude and you can keep your unwarranted rudeness to yourselves. If you have something mean to say and I don't find it helpful or funny, I will either start an argument or delete your comment.

This book follows the show really closely and most cases they have in the show I have written them. Unfortunately, that means you get to read long scenes about profiling and cases, but also the relationships established within the BAU.

On the topic of chapters and length, each episode is split into two chapters (a & b) of around 5000-6000 words. That is except for the special two-part episodes such as the Fisher King episodes or the Lo-Fi episodes, which will be full episode chapters.

So Fisher King 1 would be just one long ass chapter and Fisher King 2 will be another, single, long ass chapter.

Thank you all.

Lots of love,
