'For a really long time that's all I had. Little moments with a girl who saw me as a friend, and a lot of people told me I was crazy to wait this long for a date with a girl who I worked with, but I think even then that I knew that I was waiting for my wife.' -Jim Halpert, The Office.

"The best and most beautiful things in the world... they have to be felt with the heart." I joined the FBI to get to the BAU. CAC was just the step in between. Then Spencer Reid walked in-PhDs, cardigans, and so stupidly attractive it completely derailed my ability to speak like a functioning adult. We were supposed to work one case together. Now I'm pretending I don't notice how brilliant he is. This is fine. Totally fine. I'm being very normal about it. Set during Season 2, Episode 2 ("P911"), this is a slow(ish) friends-to-lovers rewrite where Evelyn Gilroy takes Amanda's place and tries very hard not to fall in love with Spencer Reid.

Bella Snow was the light in Spencer Reid's dark world. Spencer Reid was the beauty Bella Snow tried so desperately to find in this cruel world. Together they held each other up, attempting to hold together the crumbling Earth. To be in love is to hurt. To be in love is to sacrifice. To be in love is to let go. "You are my heart, my life, my one and only thought." -Arthur Conan Doyle ~BOOK 2~ ~SEASONS 6-10~ *I do not own the Criminal Minds universe, characters, or storylines. I do own the characters and storylines I created myself*

Ella never thought she'd be the one to catch feelings-especially not for her best friend and colleague, Dr. Spencer Reid. They're the perfect team, working seamlessly together on cases that would haunt anyone else. But somewhere between late-night stakeouts and quiet moments in the office, Ella's feelings for Spencer have taken root, leaving her stuck between what she feels and what she knows they're "supposed" to be: just friends. As the lines blur, Ella finds herself torn between keeping her friendship safe and risking it all to tell Spencer the truth.

"Since when are you a doctor? Last I remember, you were no better than a tabloid journalist." Tatum Katz had a rough start with the BAU. Her papparazzi-adjacent photographer being a suspect in one of their cases wasn't exactly a great first impression. Especially when she was arrested alongside him for trespassing on Lila Archer's property. But Jason Gideon saw potential in Tate even if the rest of his team didn't think she deserved it. So, he helped her out of her predicament as a celebrity reporter and got her into her dream profession: political journalism. Then, when the BAU was looking for a new communications liaison after losing JJ, he recommended her for the position. But being thrown back in with the chastened members of the BAU isn't the smooth ride she was hoping for.

ೃ⁀➷ 𝙋𝙊𝙄𝙎𝙊𝙉𝙀𝘿 𝘿𝙀𝙑𝙊𝙏𝙄𝙊𝙉 They say Prince Aerion Brightflame always revealed his anger through violence and raised voices, while Aelena Targaryen hid her cruelty behind grace and beauty. She wore innocence like a mask, a serpent beneath silk. Aerion saw the danger and loved her anyway. He let the snake bite, and once the venom spread, there was no escaping what had been written. He never would have believed that a clever woman with soft eyes would be his doom.

Rhae stands where the world feared to tread. Aerion kneels only to her, loving her with teeth and fire, willing to slaughter anyone who dares stand between them.

Alsyanne Stark is sent south to marry Aerion "The Monstrous" Targaryen, a prince feared for his fire and cruelty. Their union begins with hatred, each glance and word a battle of wills, but sparks burn in the darkness between them. As desire and defiance collide, love becomes as dangerous as the flames he cannot control. *Original Female Character/Aerion Targaryen *if you have any ideas/advice feel free to send me a message !

In the frozen North, Juelle Frostmere has always found solace in the freedom her noble birth allows her - hunting, sparring, and the quiet companionship of Cregan, her father's only bastard son and lifelong friend. But when Aerion Targaryen, heir to the dragon blood, arrives at her name day, everything she knows about loyalty, love, and power is challenged. In a world where fire meets ice, can hearts endure the flames? This is a fanfiction set in the world of Westeros, featuring completely fictional houses and characters created for this story. Any resemblance to established lore is coincidental.

Princess Rhaelyra Velaryon was never meant for a quiet life. Silver-haired, sharp-minded, and born of old Valyrian blood, she was promised young to Prince Aerion Targaryen - Brightflame, a man the realm fears almost as much as it reveres. To most, Aerion is unstable. Dangerous. Too proud of the dragon he believes lives inside him. But with Rhaelyra... he is something else entirely. Devoted. Possessive. Obsessed. She is the only one he listens to, the only one he cannot bear to lose - his queen, his anchor, and in his eyes, something dangerously close to divine. As they travel to the Ashford tourney, politics sharpen, rivalries rise, and watchful eyes follow their every move. Knights gather, alliances shift, and whispers about the Targaryen prince and his silver queen grow louder by the day. Yet beneath the spectacle lies a deeper tension - one neither crown nor marriage can fully contain. Because loving a dragon is never simple. And being loved like one can be even more dangerous.
