Hey there, dear reader,

Once again, I'm writing a story just to get it out of my head, and I thought it would be more fun to share it with all of you, especially since my last attempt went so well. Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this. It means a lot to know that something I'm writing for myself can be enjoyed by others too.

Also there aren't enough with her out here. If you do know of another one, please do share it with the rest of the class.

Mixing two of the best crime shows can't go wrong, right? This story brings together "Criminal Minds" and "Bones." However, I don't recommend reading this if you haven't passed season five of each series—or at least season three of "Bones" and season five of "Criminal Minds."

This story will be told from multiple points of view, including both main characters and others, to create a broader picture. You know, the kind of story where they're pining for each other and think no one notices.

Here are some of my other "Criminal Minds" and "Bones" stories:
4:47 - Brennan and Booth
The Bones Beneath Us - Temperance Brennan x Y/n Sweets
My Baby's Got a Gun - Emily Prentiss x Y/n Darling
Lieutenant and SSA - Emily Prentiss x Y/n Prentiss
One Last Case - Emily Prentiss x Y/n Bailey
Against the Clock - Jennifer Jareau x Y/n Addams
Never Letting You Go - Penelope Garcia x Y/n Sloan
Honey of the Rose - Penelope Garcia x Fairmont
Imagine Another Life - Mixed (one-shots)
Ship Imagines - Mixed couples (one-shots)

I also have many more stories from "Grey's Anatomy," the MCU, and some DC universes in progress, along with 'season two' of some of the aforementioned stories and various one-shots for both ships and x reader.

Trigger Warning: If you're familiar with these series, you know what kind of content to expect. I will note warnings within chapters only when intense scenes of violence or other sensitive content occur to the main characters or those in the POV. This story will include a mix of angst, fluff, and drama, focusing on the long journey of friendship and more before they realise their feelings for each other are worth it.

I've added some original characters, some of whom are important, while others exist to enhance the narrative. You'll notice the difference.

Main Characters:
Y/n Garcia - Care Bear
Temperance "Tempe" Brennan - Bones
Penelope "Penny, Pen" Garcia - Baby Girl
Angela "Angie, Ange" Montenegro - Angel
Seeley Booth - Action Man
Emily "Em" Prentiss - Hotshot
Derek "Der" Morgan - Hot Stuff
Zachery "Zach" Addy - Zack the Brainiac
Spencer "Spence" Reid - Pretty Boy, Brainiac
Jennifer "JJ" Jareau - Blondie
Aaron "Hotch" Hotchner - Boss
Lance Sweets - Smiley
Jack Hodgins - Bug Boy
David "Dave" Rossi - Italian Stallion
Camille "Cam" Saroyan - Boss Lady

Honourable Mentions (Guest Stars):
