" Otillia Cobb slouched in her chair waiting for her 6'o'clock appointment. She had already read through all the magazines and was close to leaving the office, before a tall and slender man in a long, black coat, and a brown, leather bag, slung across his chest, and a silver watch on his left wrist walked into the office. She watched him walk to the front desk, and she moved to a closer chair to hear his voice. 'Uh, Reid, for 4:45 with a Dr. Vidaurri?' He enunciated every word of his, that made him sound very smart, maybe even a little nerdy. To her, he was cute. 'I've got you, have a seat, and he'll be out in a moment.' The receptionist said, clacking on her keyboard. 'Thanks,' he muttered and sat down, in a random chair by the table with all of the magazines. Glancing at the clock, Tillie stood up and sat down next to the man. 'You new here or something?' " Otillia, Tillie, Cobb hid herself behind a mask of who she used to be. She hid her dark and destroying issues and illnesses behind flowers and fake happiness and contentment. Her problems were her own, and no one else needed to know or be burdened with them. Dr. Spencer Reid didn't hide, but he did deflect and ignore. His job kept him distracted enough from his own problems. But when his higher ups decide he needs help, he meets a girl. He meets her at 𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒑𝒚. Disclaimer I don't own Criminal Minds, only my own characters and plot lines.

"He tends to ramble a lot," she says leaning in closer. "I don't mind it," I reply. "Actually, I think it's kind of cute." Jaella Fox, an FBI agent with seductive skills is called to the BAU to help with a murder case. She meets a man with hazel eyes and an IQ of 187. Will all of her past secrets be revealed? Will they come back to haunt her? Not set in any particular season.

Spencer Reid has always felt alone. He's grown accustomed to it, so it doesn't really bother him. But when someone he recognizes from his past starts working at the BAU, he finds himself inexplicably drawn to her. The closer he gets, the more secrets he uncovers. What he does with them? That's his choice. [ based on late season 3, early season 4 spencer reid ] cover by: @amygraymikae

Y/N has worked at the BAU for almost a year now and things were going great at work. Until the stress blackouts started whenever she was home. Alex, her boyfriend who lives with her, always explained that during these blackouts, she was incredibly clumsy and always hurting herself. That always explained the marks that would appear after them. The team, especially her best friends Spencer Reid and Emily Prentiss, worried for her but she always assured them everything was fine because it was. Did they believe her? Did she believe Alex? Did she even believe herself? One thing was certain, her one-year anniversary at the BAU was not going to be a pleasant one.

Judgment. You hate it. It's all you can feel from everyone on this case. You've been with the BAU for many years now and have never felt less a part of the team then this case. You've never been open about your sex life or what you're into, but when your team gets assigned to a case of a killer targeting members of the BDSM community, it becomes unavoidable. Between the local police and the BAU's comments of ignorance and some hate, you can't help but get mad. Now that everyone knows your secret, they all treat you differently, except for one. Spencer Reid. . . AN: this is dom!reader and sub!spencer btw... even though i don't think he's a sub at all, i love playing with the idea he is . . all characters, except for Y/N, Gabi, and the local police, do NOT belong to me. they belong to Criminal Minds and CBS.
