"Live people ignore the strange and unsual, i myself am, strange and unsual." Human connections have always been... complicated. Ella Fairview never really understood why people cried when a dog died in a movie. It wasn't real. And even if it had been... it was still just a dog. She knew she was supposed to feel something. She just never did. The only people she's ever truly understood are alcoholics. Strange comparison, right? But when feeling anything at all is rare, you begin to understand why someone would spend their whole life chasing it. Now she's the newest profiler in the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit, surrounded by people whose job is to understand the darkest corners of the human mind. After all... Secrets don't stay buried forever. I DO NOT OWN CRIMINAL MINDS OR ANY CHARACTER OF THIS FIC EXCEPT ELLA AND CLAIRE FAIRVIEW

"How many existentialists does it take to screw a lightbulb?" Spencer asked with a small laugh. Once again the room was silent. You faintly heard Agent Rossi mutter, "Don't." "2. One to change the light bulb and one to observe how it symbolizes an incandescent beacon of subjectivity in a netherworld of cosmic nothingness," he said. The room was silent still, until you laughed. His eyes looked up at yours in confusion. "Wouldn't they sit in the dark and hope that the bulb decided to light again? An existentialist would never change the bulb. He would allow the darkness to exist," you questioned. - #1 #spencerreid #1 #mgg #1 emilyprentiss

Madden is no stranger to violence at work but when things start to get bad with her husband, the stress overwhelms her. New bruises showed up everyday. When the BAU gets a case revolving around women who look liked her, she starts to get suspicious.

At Quantico's prestigious FBI Academy, Kayla-a promising behavioral sciences recruit with a knack for reading people-believes she's finally where she belongs. Between long hours of lectures, field exercises, and psychology profiles, she's determined to prove herself worthy of a place in the Bureau's elite Behavioral Analysis Unit. But everything changes after one ordinary afternoon lecture-when the BAU team themselves step into the classroom. And among them stands Unit Chief Emily Prentiss, watching Kayla a little too closely. That night, an unmarked envelope appears under Kayla's dorm door. No return address. No fingerprints. Just a single line written in perfect block letters: "Meet me. Midnight. East Wing observation room." What begins as a secret meeting quickly unravels into something far darker. The letter draws Kayla into a covert investigation that blurs the lines between trainee and target, mentor and suspect. As she is pulled deeper into the world of criminal profiling and psychological warfare, Kayla realizes that someone inside the Academy is watching her every move-someone who knows things about her past that even she's tried to forget. Now, she must uncover the truth behind The Letter-before it exposes everything she's been trying to hide.

Agent Aaron Hotchner couldn't ask for better agents than David Rossi, Derek Morgan, Emily Prentiss, and Jennifer Jereau. In fact, he prides himself on heading the best team the BAU has to offer. Still, he's not so arrogant he doesn't know when it's time to call for help, so when his team hits a brick wall with a ticking clock, he reaches out to the Intelligence Control and Analysis Program. ICAP sends him a mountain of files, all of them good candidates, but Hotch is repeatedly drawn to the same file. Genius #2036334-4383 has three doctorates and a high success rate with the Bureau, though he's never been in the field. According to his file, Genius doesn't play well with others, but Hotch doesn't see that posing much of a problem. Besides, it's a temporary arrangement. What's the worst that could happen?

"You know, baby girl is my nickname for Garcia, but you know who calls you that?" "Reid does." *For reference age regression is not a kink nor should it be seen that way and I won't tolerate rude comments about little space.

Vivian Clarke joins Agent Aaron Hotchner's elite Behavioural Analysis Unit, where she quickly becomes an invaluable asset; intelligent, perceptive, and effortlessly capable under pressure. But beneath her confidence lies a history of trauma, control and survival that she has never fully confronted. What no one at the BAU knows is that Vivian was not only assigned to the team as a profiler but placed there under quiet, classified instruction to observe and assess their unit chief, Aaron Hotchner himself. And the closer Vivian gets to understanding him, the more she risks exposing the truth behind her own assignment, a truth that could shatter the fragile trust she has built inside the BAU. When fragments of Vivian's past begin to surface an abusive relationship, hidden trauma, and a life she has spent years outrunning, the BAU realises she may not just be solving cases... She may also be running from one. And eventually, even the best profilers in the world must ask: What happens when the person studying broken minds is the one most fractured of all?

Four years after her mission, Emily decided it was time for a new beginning and moved back to the States to pursue her dream career, with her three-year-old toddler in tow. Navigating motherhood and the unpleasant feelings her new boss unwittingly stirred within her, Emily struggled to hide the enjoyment she felt from the light he brought into her life. And in a precarious situation she was too complacent to recognize, she found herself happy and content. But she would soon discover that she was never fully untethered from her past- no matter where she went or the oceans she crossed, some shadows simply never faded; their grip remained unyielding. Slowly, the wall she had built to protect herself began to crack, its segments fracturing, allowing old ghosts to creep through the gaps and reenter her world.
