"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.

"What's your favorite word?" he asked, making you knit your eyebrows together, blinking at him as your mind tried to come up with an answer. "I suppose it's vellichor." "Vellichor: the strange wistfulness of used bookstores," he muttered making you bite your lip. Not many people knew the word. "Good choice," he commented. "And yours?" you inquired, locking your eyes with his. "Querencia," he replied. "The place where one's strength is drawn from; where one feels at home," he began. "the place where you are your most authentic self," you finished. "That's another rare word I don't hear much, you must be a real bibliophile." "It helps that I can read 20,000 words a minute," he said under his breath.

Spencer Reid is single. A lone wolf. Private. So when things in his life take a bad turn, his friends are left in an awkward position. To save him, they need to call on his daughter - a daughter no one knew he had. A daughter who hates his very name. What will come of the events that bought them back together? Can their hopeless relationship ever been fixed? 20 years is a long time...

Dr. Elizabethian Cooper is a genius in every use of the word. She devotes her life to saving the world by stopping one serial killer at a time. Read along as she figures out that there's more to life than the Behavioral Analysis Unit.

(Takes place roughly 6 months after Spencer is released from prison but doesn't follow the plot of season 13. Spencer deserves one good thing to happen to him !) "Spencer," she whimpered my name like a prayer as my mouth pressed over her heart, teeth against her cream skin. I found solace in her embrace; the only place I felt like I truly belonged, as if the Gods had carved her body to fit perfectly into mine. The soft to the hardened lines of my form, the moon to the endless night. - Spencer Reid had all but given up on everything, until he meets Anastasia, a witch, while working on a case.

Nalani "Nali" Kale works for the NYPD as a Medical Examiner (Forensic Pathologist) and is considered one of the best. She spends up to ten hours with the bodies, and after awhile she began to talk to them, making connections. She struggles with social interactions and only converses with others in the Precinct. One day when a man named Aaron Hotchner walks through her lab doors offering her a job at the FBI in the BAU, how can she turn that down?! With Nalani's strange morals and attitude, how will profiler Spencer Reid get to know her, and maybe see she's not as eccentric as they think....
