Counteracting Chaos
"The constant increase of entropy in the universe shows that time will always keep moving forward. However, by making different choices, we can navigate our way back to a better place. We can't turn around and walk back across the line, but we can make different choices as we move forward and eventually circle back to the other side." A moment of singularity, and Spencer Reid's life spirals into chaos. ***I work in the field of psychology and study the human mind for a living. Somebody said that finding a realistic way to write these two characters together was impossible. So, utilizing the DSM-5-TR and my unfettered access to all the most recent research in the field, I say, "Watch me."Complete
Taken Captive
I wrote this when I was 16 give me a break. TAKEN SERIES: BOOK ONE TW: kidnapping, manipulation, toxic/abusive relationship, violence, death, grief, self-harm, suicidal thoughts/attempts, sexual assault, non-consensual sexual content, alcoholism, stockholm syndrome, switching partners, etc. Do not read this story if you get triggered easily. If you decide to continue, that's your own choice. This story will portray a BDSM relationship, NOT counting the toxicity and genuine abuse that goes on throughout it. Do not comment anything unnecessarily judgmental, especially if you don't know what you're talking about. Thank you, enjoy. - - - - - "Don't ever do something like that again, or I will kill you, understood?

Will they get past these secrets, lies, toxicity and pain? Or will one of them give up? - - - - -Complete

Shatter
Dean gets a call about Bobby being in an accident, and breaking his leg. He's cleared from the hospital, but can't drive, and doesn't know anyone who can pick him up except his old friend Rufus, who's in another state, and Ellen, his wife, who's off with her daughter on a girls trip. And Dean of course. The problem? He has to leave Cas at the apartment, and the hospital is a five hour drive away. But Cas can be without him for a day right? -------- This story is part one of a series called "Leading Into Life". I highly suggest reading "Normality" before this. It'll probably make way more sense.Complete
