You bring something special to the BAU team, specializing in spirits and people's energies. You use your abilities to help others get justice for the crimes of vicious criminals. Along the way, you make new friends, developed a new crush, and battle inner demons you never knew were there all the while keeping a smile on your face. (I am rewriting Criminal Minds, all fifteen seasons, as if the reader was a part of the Behavioral Analysis Unit. This is a Spencer Reid x Reader fanfiction)

Deception: the action of deceiving someone. An action that Derek Morgan never thought his old estranged best friend from high school would ever be capable of- until she showed up at the FBI with more secrets than hair pins in her hair. When her two worlds collide, will Darling Dawson be able to keep the biggest secret of all about her true feelings for her high school friend who left her for the FBI? A tale of friendship, secrets of more than one kind, unknown romance and enough tropes to make a biscuit blush. ------ What's this? I'm back with yet another criminal minds fic even though I haven't finished the others? Typical. Hope you guys enjoy this one, trying to make it a little different than the others but still with the same flare. We've got the usual cast of the criminal minds gang that I used in the other books, plus a few more familiar faces ;) Not set in any particular CM timeline or season, just taking bits and bobs to make it my own like usual. Trigger warnings will (hopefully) be at the start of each chapter but just a heads up here that it is a CM based book so it follows the kind of themes in that show. Hope you enjoy welcoming Darling Dawson and her witty southern charm to the world of Criminal minds.
