At the Jeffersonian Institute, truth is written in fractures, ligaments and words left behind. When brilliant but razor-tongued Italian forensic psycholinguist Dr. Alessandra Ferrero joins forces with FBI psychologist Lance Sweets, their methods clash as violently as their personalities. She trusts data. He trusts people. Between dissected skeletons and half-finished profiles, what begins as intellectual warfare slowly unravels into something far more dangerous: understanding. And maybe, something like love. ----------------------- "I'm Dr. Lance Sweets," he said, offering a charming smile. "I'm the FBI's psychologist. I'll be your partner on the psych-linguistic profiles for the 'Casanova Killer' case." Alex looked him up and down, her eyes lingering just a second too long on his youthful face. "You look like you're waiting for your puberty to finish, tesoro. Are you sure you're a doctor and not a very lost intern?" Sweets' smile didn't waver, but his eyebrows shot up. "I've been told I have a youthful energy. And you must be the 'Cynical Roman' Booth warned me about." "And you're the 'Shrink' who thinks he can read minds," she countered, stepping into his personal space. "Don't try it with me, Dr. Sweets. My mind is a very dark place, and you'll likely get lost without a map."

At twenty-two, Natalia Elizabeth Booth is an exception even by FBI standards. Recently recruited as a forensic psychologist, she works alongside the Bureau's Behavioral Analysis Unit, bringing sharp insight, quiet composure, and an unsettling ability to recognize fear the moment it surfaces. To most, her last name barely registers. To Special Agent Seeley Booth, it means everything. Natalia is his younger sister-brilliant, stubborn, and far too familiar with the damage violence leaves behind. Seeley has spent years believing he could keep her safe by staying one step ahead of the world's worst people. Watching her step into that same world tests every instinct he has. Natalia's expertise isn't theoretical. Her childhood was shaped by abuse she rarely speaks about, experiences that taught her how control hides behind charm and how trauma reshapes the mind. She doesn't excuse violent behavior-but she understands it, and that understanding makes her invaluable. Working closely with Dr. Lance Sweets, the FBI's behavioral psychologist, Natalia finds an unexpected equal. Their collaboration is rooted in shared discipline and professional respect, but there's an ease between them that's harder to ignore. Sweets sees the patterns Natalia tracks-and the weight she carries beneath her calm exterior. What begins as thoughtful conversation and quiet support slowly becomes something more, complicated by work, boundaries, and the risk of caring too deeply. As cases grow more personal and the emotional toll mounts, Natalia is forced to navigate the delicate balance between independence and connection-between being Seeley Booth's sister and her own person, between guarding her past and allowing someone to truly know her. In Washington, D.C., where truth is rarely simple and justice comes at a cost, Natalia Booth must decide whether strength means standing alone-or trusting the people who stand beside her. Some scars stay hidden. Some bonds make survival possible.

all rights to Harry Potter belong to JK Rowling. I do not own the majority of these characters. Evelyn Malfoy is the oldest daughter of the Malfoy family. She was a student of Beauxbatons but was expelled and began attending Hogwarts with Fred Weasley as classmate, whom she'd avoided as her family hated his and she felt a need to do so aswell. The two both disliked one another and teased the other and somehow, slowly but surely, grew to be friends and through the years began to be more. The two (and George of course) go through the plot lines of Harry Potter while having their own story together.

FBI profiler Harper Sloan is used to chasing darkness - long hours, brutal cases, and the constant weight of knowing the minds of monsters better than her own. But when a series of violent crimes unexpectedly end up Seattle at the same time she's visiting her brother, Harper finds herself forced to walk the line between the horrors she hunts and the family she's nearly lost to time. Her older brother, Mark Sloan - renowned plastic surgeon, legendary flirt, and fiercely protective big brother - isn't thrilled to see his sister tangled in another high-risk investigation. Especially not when it's happening right in the city he calls home. Alongside former childhood friend and neurosurgeon Derek Shepherd, Mark is determined to give Harper something she's never had: space to rest, people to lean on, and a reason to stay. As Harper balances high-stakes BAU cases with the chaotic rhythm of life inside Seattle Grace Mercy West, she begins to rediscover what it means to be more than a profiler - to be a sister, a friend, and maybe even something more. But the closer her work gets to Seattle's heart, the more the lines blur between healing wounds and confronting old ones. Because monsters don't just live in the field - sometimes, they hide in the places we thought were safe. {Spencer Reid x Lexie Grey} {Aaron Hotchner x Original Character}

in theory, the average number of dates it takes to fall in love is twelve. twelve dinners, twelve walks on the beach, twelve kisses goodnight (if you're the type to kiss on the first date). twelve chances for you to fall in love. but take dating out of the equation, and what do you get? twelve separate instances whereby two individuals spend time with each other. the outcome? falling in love anyway. because it's not the circumstance, it's the people. in this case, it's two people who were never meant to fall for each other. but did anyway. ᴄʀɪᴍɪɴᴀʟ ᴍɪɴᴅꜱ [ ɴᴏ ꜱᴇᴛ ꜱᴇᴀꜱᴏɴ ] 𝘼𝘼𝙍𝙊𝙉 𝙃𝙊𝙏𝘾𝙃𝙉𝙀𝙍 𝙭 𝙤𝙘 𝙜𝙤𝙡𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙡𝙤𝙪𝙙-𝙨 ©2020
