{Reid x OC} When the BAU needed a new member to assist their team, SSA Giselle Hernandez was a no brainer. With her 170 IQ, Yale education, multilingualism, and extensive training and experience in the Human Trafficking Force, she would make a great addition to the team. Although being a little cold and closed off at times, the team took well to her- ESPECIALLY Dr. Spencer Reid. However, breaking her down to a human level would prove to be much more difficult than expected.

In which her coworkers finally force her to speak to the cute boy that gives her heart eyes every morning when he grabs his coffee, and things turn out better than expected. [based on season seven of Criminal Minds] || book one of one || started: july 22nd 2016 ended: july 27th 2016

Spencer wraps the blanket tighter around us causing me to melt into him further. He sweeps my wet hair over my shoulder while I stare out towards the golden sunset. He plants a kiss on my temple before nuzzling his face into my neck. "Thank you," He whispers. I run my fingers through his soft curls, "For what?" "For showing me life doesn't always have to be so serious," He sighs. "I don't know what I did before you," He mutters, almost like it wasn't for me to hear.

Melinda was never supposed to end up at the BAU. But when her past forces her into the world of serial killers and criminal profiling, she quickly becomes more than just the new recruit-she becomes family. Fierce, funny, and absolutely impossible to ignore, she's a hurricane the team didn't know they needed. Then there's Spencer Reid. Genius. Awkward. Brilliant. Guarded. Until Melinda. What starts as gentle banter turns into unspoken glances, forehead kisses, chaos during briefings, and a relationship that unravels slowly-until it hits like a train. From shared trauma to stolen motel moments and one truly unforgettable "we'll be back in thirty minutes" declaration, Spencer and Melinda rewrite every rule the BAU has ever known about love. In a world built on profiling monsters, sometimes the most unexpected connection is the one that saves you
