"I don't need your help and I never will" Cole Bouchard tries to reassure herself that everything is fine. Her haunted past cannot find her here in Washington DC. Besides that, she's got a new job at the BAU as a statistician. They aren't ever going to send her anywhere farther than the coffee machine in the breakroom. The only problem she encounters, one which was unforeseeable, is the genius who keeps correcting her math.

"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.

Spencer Reid and Amelie Scott have spent the past five years navigating the complicated world of co-parenting their daughter, Baya. They were once in love, but their relationship unraveled after Baya's birth, leaving them as partners in raising their daughter, but little else. But when old sparks begin to flare and a shared love for their daughter draws them closer, Spencer and Mel are faced with the question: can love truly be rekindled, or is it forever lost in the ashes of their past? As Spencer and Mel continue to walk the delicate line of being parents and maybe something more, they're forced to confront the pain of their breakup, the cracks in their relationship, and the feelings they've kept buried for years. Can they rebuild the trust they once had? And, most importantly, can they put aside their fears to give love another chance-for Baya's sake, and maybe for their own?

Josette "Josie" Summers works in the FBI's forensics unit, but her dream is to be part of the Behavioral Analysis Unit. She frequently crosses paths with Dr. Spencer Reid, a genius agent with a heart as complex as his intellect. After an intense day of examining a crime scene together, Josie confides in Spencer about her aspiration to join the BAU. When Spencer learns that a potential position might be opening up, he offers to mentor her, teaching her everything he knows about profiling. As they spend more time together, studying late into the night and uncovering the darkest secrets of the human mind, their professional relationship deepens into something more. Amid the pressure of the job and the weight of their shared ambition, Josie and Spencer find themselves drawn to each other in unexpected ways. As they navigate the highs and lows of their careers and emotions, they must decide if they're ready to take a chance on love-or if their futures in the BAU are enough to carry them forward.

Truth was, it didn't take her admitting that she loved him for him to realize he felt the same. Nor did it take the few months of dating. No, from the moment she stepped through the doors and introduced herself to them, he was completely and utterly in love. | seasons 2 - 3 | | tw: a lot of murder and blood [and smut ;)]- I'll put more specific warnings in the chapters |
