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

"He profiles people. She profiles language. But neither of them are ready to figure each other out." Wren Calloway is a forensic linguist with a sharp tongue, a faster brain, and ADHD-fuelled chaos in her soul. She's made a career out of reading between the lines-until the BAU invites her to step into their world of darkness, danger, and unspeakable crimes. Enter Aaron Hotchner: team leader, master profiler, and emotional fortress in a suit. He doesn't do mess. He doesn't do feelings. And he definitely doesn't do distractions. But Wren? Wren is all of that and more. As the BAU faces cases that test the limits of their minds and hearts, Wren and Hotch must navigate their growing connection-one cryptic quote, one sideways glance, one soul-baring truth at a time. A slow-burn romance filled with profiling, poetic chaos, and the art of being seen. In a world full of monsters, sometimes the hardest thing to decode is yourself.

Healing from her grief, dedicating her life to her work, and finding new relationships in unexpected places has Liv in a world she has never known. Will the obstacles it brings wear her down, or will she finally find peace in the life that is always changing? (S5-6)

You never thought the worst thing this town could throw at you was getting framed for murder, and even less likely, the only person who believed your innocence was someone you hadn't spoken to in over ten years. - *Okay so I want to preface this with the full disclosure that I do not have anything against Manassas Virginia (and I also know next to nothing about it so everything in here is most likely incredibly inaccurate) I just kind of ended up bashing the town as the story went along, my loves if you're from there I'm sure you're lovely I just made it seem low key suckish for purposes of the plot.* [This story is SFW!
