I wasn't like everyone else. When I was growing up, I didn't have any friends. My best friends were books. I read more than half the school library within the four years I attended high school, which I graduated from when I was 14. At the age of 22, I have an IQ of 182 and I can read 11,000 words a minute, I was "too smart" to be popular. My parents were murdered when I was a little girl, I was scarred for life, literally-the killer drug me out of the closet and carved his intials into my shoulder. The BAU solved my case. I knew I had a place there. That's where I met Spencer Reid.

when former marine recon soldier and fbi agent brielle callahan transfers to the behavioral analysis unit, she expects the most difficult thing to be learning to think like a profiler. she doesn't expect dr. spencer reid, all long limbs, sweater vests, and an unsettling ability to pierce right through her armor. she's never walked into a room she couldn't handle, but she's starting to think the most dangerous thing about the bau isn't the unsubs. *ੈ✩‧₊˚༺☆༻*ੈ✩‧₊˚*ੈ✩‧₊˚༺☆༻*ੈ✩‧₊˚*ੈ✩‧₊˚༺☆༻*ੈ✩‧₊˚ "you should go home, reid." "yeah, probably," he agrees, and doesn't move.

Evelyn Carson has always understood people better than they understand themselves. At twenty-three, she becomes one of the youngest behavioral analysts ever recruited to the BAU, stepping into the high-pressure world of serial crime profiling with a mind that sees patterns others miss-and emotions she doesn't always know how to handle. Thrown into a team of experienced profilers in the world of Criminal Minds, Evelyn quickly proves her ability to read microexpressions, behavioural inconsistencies, and emotional patterns with unsettling accuracy. Families trust her. Victims respond to her. And criminals begin to make sense in ways they never have before. But intelligence doesn't protect her from herself. Struggling with emotional regulation, overwhelmed by the weight of every case, and unable to fully separate work from feeling, Evelyn finds herself slowly becoming entangled in the very darkness she studies. As she builds connections within the team-especially with Spencer Reid, who recognises her mind, and Jennifer Jareau, who begins to quietly care for her-Evelyn is forced to learn that understanding others is not the same as surviving yourself. In a world built on broken people and fractured minds, she may be the most observant profiler they've ever had... but she is also the one most in need of saving.

Maybe it was just bad timing. Maybe it was a more downplayed version of Romeo and Juliet; bad fate. After all, he had lost his first love, Maeve, right before his eyes. How does one get over something like that? I had been in an abusive relationship two years prior. I never got over that.

Dr. Spencer Reid spent most of his life believing happiness was something that happened to other people. Then he met Courtney Burkely. What starts as a chance meeting during a case slowly becomes the kind of love Spencer never thought he'd have - messy, passionate, heartbreaking, and real. Through long nights, dangerous cases, missed milestones, prison walls, newborn cries at 3 a.m., and the chaos of building a family while working for the BAU, Spencer and Courtney fight for a life together in a world constantly trying to pull them apart. But love was never the hard part. Staying present is. As Spencer struggles to balance saving strangers with being there for the people waiting for him at home, Courtney begins to wonder how many sacrifices a family can survive before it starts breaking apart. Still, through every painful moment and every beautiful one, they keep finding their way back to each other. A story about healing, family, and giving Spencer Reid the life he always deserved. ♡ Friends to lovers ♡ Marriage & family ♡ Hurt/comfort ♡ Emotional slow burn ♡ Pregnancy & parenthood ♡ BAU family moments ♡ Angst with happy ending ♡ Spencer Reid being the world's most emotional dad

~Written in 2023 before my break, sorry ahead of time if it's bad 😅~ Athena Winslow, an FBI Agent for the Behavioral Analysis Unit, suddenly runs into a problem she thought had long been gone. The man who killed her parents recently started up again, but in the most creepy fashion... Once again, Athena is faced with the part of her life she kept hidden from those around her, even her own found family. But when this man starts targeting her again, it's a race against time to find him before Athena can become the next victim and the team learns just how much of her they really knew (I changed the cover of the book for a different face claim to Athena as a heads up to everyone who saw this previously)

Sequel to "Cognitive Dissonance" The past doesn't stay buried. It waits. Three years after everything they survived, Special Agent Beverly Allen has built a life she fought hard for-one defined by control, strength, and the man who stood beside her through it all. Spencer Reid. But when a new series of murders begins to surface across multiple states, the BAU quickly realizes something terrifying- The pattern isn't new. It's familiar. Too familiar. Someone is recreating the crimes of Beverly's past... but not copying them. Perfecting them. As the case grows darker, lines between past and present blur, forcing Beverly to face the one person she never thought she'd see again-and the truth she's spent years trying to outrun. Because this time... It isn't just about catching a killer. It's about proving she was never one of them. With everything on the line-her career, her future, and the love she never thought she deserved-Beverly must decide who she really is before someone else decides for her. And Spencer? He's not letting her face it alone. But some patterns don't break easily. And some love stories are tested in the darkest ways. "The deadliest patterns are the ones that repeat."
