A Criminal Minds x Reader story!!

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....

Violet is the only survivor of a series of shootings in DC. The BAU is sent to talk to her, Morgan and Reid specifically. But wait. Reid and Violet have a past! Will this compromise the case at all? What about when Morgan decides to get close to her. How will Reid take this news? And what about Sebastian, Violet's four year old son?!

"don't worry about me." "i have too." "i'll be fine. i just... i have to do this... alone." "let me help you." "he'll hurt you and if... if you die, I won't be able to live with myself because... because... derek morgan i can't live without you."

You'd joined the BAU 8 months ago, but never fit into the family. You felt like an intruder watching them interact day to day. You isolated yourself, and now you needed their help more than ever. The issue was, would they even notice you missing before it was too late?
