And it proves to be true when you run into Spencer Reid at a coffee shop one day. [based loosely on season 13 spencer reid ] cover by: @amygraymikae

"Hm," Rossi says. "You two must've been good friends." "Best friends," you say, grinning at Spencer. "Yeah," Spencer replies.

Ashley Hotchner is Aaron Hotchner's niece, and she is going to the local college by her uncle's house. Aaron thought it would be cheaper to pay if she just lived with him, and she gladly accepted. When an unsub targets the two of them, Aaron seeks help and hiding in the BAU for Ashley, more concerned for her safety than his. She meets the team and during several stressful hours, someone from the BAU team is catching her eye. Boy-Wonder: Doctor Spencer Reid

An answer to the age old Criminal Minds question - who is flying the plane? And the story of a pilot and a profiler. || "She knows it's dangerous to care about them. Their job puts them directly in harm's way. As pilots, it's their duty to bring the team to that harm. Emotional connections will eventually end in disaster. Us and them. Pilots and profilers. Ships passing in the night in the same sky. But with Reid, it's different." Spencer Reid x Reader
