After being kidnapped and tortured, you suffer from extreme nightmares. To which the only cure is Dr. Spencer Reid. Completed

AU-ish. Avery Hotchner is Aaron Hotchner's 18 year old genius niece. When her parents (Hotch's brother and sister in law) are killed, Avery decides to leave college and take Hotch's long-standing offer to be a part of the BAU. Taking the job means gaining new family members- the rest of the team. Slowly, Avery learns to trust and love again - and she might even perhaps fall in love with the team's very own Spencer Reid, the resident 23-year-old boy wonder. (yes I realize Spencer wouldn't be 23 in this, as it is loosely based around season five, although hardly anything from the actual show applies, besides the lives of the characters. Emily Prentiss is in this, and no I do not plan on "killing" her or having her leave. Like I said, loosely.) Disclaimer: All characters belong to Criminal Minds save Avery Hotchner.

You've spent most of your adult life convincing yourself that love is not meant for you. Your job and social awkwardness made it hard to find- and the right guy just never shows up. But when you revisit your college and it's memories, you meet someone who just might be worth it. {Spencer Reid x Reader} Based on Season 13 Reid. It's pronounced (eh- thee- ree- ul) by the way.
