"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.

Deception: the action of deceiving someone. An action that Derek Morgan never thought his old estranged best friend from high school would ever be capable of- until she showed up at the FBI with more secrets than hair pins in her hair. When her two worlds collide, will Darling Dawson be able to keep the biggest secret of all about her true feelings for her high school friend who left her for the FBI? A tale of friendship, secrets of more than one kind, unknown romance and enough tropes to make a biscuit blush. ------ What's this? I'm back with yet another criminal minds fic even though I haven't finished the others? Typical. Hope you guys enjoy this one, trying to make it a little different than the others but still with the same flare. We've got the usual cast of the criminal minds gang that I used in the other books, plus a few more familiar faces ;) Not set in any particular CM timeline or season, just taking bits and bobs to make it my own like usual. Trigger warnings will (hopefully) be at the start of each chapter but just a heads up here that it is a CM based book so it follows the kind of themes in that show. Hope you enjoy welcoming Darling Dawson and her witty southern charm to the world of Criminal minds.

Layers of secrets, untold pain, hidden glances- Two stranger, two different people. Could someone so cold let someone with such light in? ---- "I'm sorry I didn't know there was a dress code. My old unit and team didn't really do that" Cameron lied awkwardly to the stern, unreadable man who stood with only a slightly raised eyebrow on his face in front of her. Cameron Johnson didn't have an 'old unit' or a team. In fact, Cameron Johnson wasn't an agent at all. She had no idea what the BAU was, no idea what being an agent was, no idea of any of this 'new job' of hers. Cameron Johnson' wasn't even her real name. ----------- Another one?! Hiya! Here's the start of something I've been working on in the background of finishing off 'Cruel- an enemies to lover criminal minds fic.' I hope you like this one, it's got secrets, twists and turns, plenty of yearning and a sweet, clueless protagonist who has no idea what's going on but a closet full of secrets she intends to keep hidden for her safety. (This doesn't really follow the shows timeline or a specific timeline, just a lil mix up of my fave parts to make its sort of it's own thing I guess??) TW at the top of chapters, if I miss putting one or something does trigger you and you think I should warn others or take it out please just let me know but general TW for quite dark themes like the show :)

Hotch this is a bad idea" Reid said following him through the prison. "It's the only option we have left, we both know this" the stern man spoke as they approached the door. "We can't just let her out and join the team- it took the FBI 2 years to track her down, what if she escapes? She's a murderer Hotch" Morgan spoke from the other side of him. "We always say that unsubs make the best profilers, she is proof of that" Hotch said as the doors slowly opened. "Hello again boys" Athena smiled from the other side of the metal desk she was chained to. Reid frowned as she winked at him. "Glad the black eye has healed; I was afraid I damaged your pretty little face forever" she said referring to the time they tried to catch her, and she beat Reid up pretty badly before escaping. Athena was the most dangerous type of unsub, she was smart and had all the skills to be a expect level profiler and she absolutely used that against the team when they were asked to track her down. A criminal minds fanfic, not based on any of the shows timeline but a mismatch of them to create its own. A psychopathic unsub is recruited to join the team after they finally caught her after 3 years of her taunting them, will she join the team? Or will the history, secrets she knows and flirtatious tension between her and her new teammates be to much for everyone to handle? Since this is a CM fanfic there will be dark themes, trigger warnings will be at the start of each chapter- enjoy :)

❝ if you wanted to kill me, you would have done it already. but you haven't, because i think you know i'm the only person who really understands you ❞ spencer reid has always loathed the star-crossed lovers trope. i mean, he's read a lot of fiction, and it really is just a terribly repetitive romantic trope -- so, naturally, when it appears as a reality in his own life, it's very much unappreciated. and, well, star-crossed lovers has never been so literal than when spencer reid feels tied -- by fate, by their pasts, by simple sexual attraction -- to the nefarious subject of a rigorous investigation. this just might be the case of his life, and yet his mind keeps wandering away, down a deep, dark hallway to where someone calls his name. star-crossed lovers has never been so dangerous.
