It's the small moments, those every day ones, that define us more than we'd ever like to admit. Like how you react to having a cup of coffee spilled on you or whether or not you help the lost kid look for their mom even though you're running late to work...because of said coffee-spilling-incident. 

And then there are the big moments. Like running home to your apartment in tears to your best friend because your boyfriend really was sleeping with Slutty Crystal-it's unfair of me to call her a slut like it's defining quality, but I didn't think of the nickname-and then finding your roommate and best friend in bed with said cheating boyfriend. 

A normal person would react by just crashing at a motel for a night or two and developing a game plan. Me? I opted for flying to Quantico, calling in a favor from Strauss, and kind of getting an internship at the BAU. So the 'request is pending', big deal, if I keep acting like something is going to happen it'll work out...probably. 

Well it almost didn't. In fact, it wasn't until I uncovered a murder cult that involved a regular unsub. It was a moment that gave me everything I wanted...FBI departments fighting over me was great and yes the recognition was nice-but I brought peace to so many people, and that's what I wanted. And you know how I felt? Still incomplete. 

Here I am sitting with practically every opportunity in the world and all I want is the BAU. I'm cracked, right? Hotch doesn't even want me there and Dr. Spencer Reid decider to hate me after day one. Whatever, he can hate me all he wants...who cares that he's hot? Who cares that he's hot enough to punch me in the face? Yeah, he can never know that...because he'd probably do it.

Anyways, no one tells you how to deal with almost being sacrificed. And no one tells you what to do when your enemy coworker starts being nice...like really nice.

The Story of Us by Jbic02
40 parts Complete Mature
What if the Spencer Reid that the team knew wasn't the real Spencer Reid? What if there was a Spencer that nobody would even imagine when they looked at him, a Spencer that only came out around one girl? Spencer Reid was a child prodigy who had been bullied his whole life, but what would you expect when you started high school at 8 and graduate at 12. When he got to Caltech he hoped that everything would be better and he had no idea how right he was. His first day of school he met her. The most beautiful girl he had ever seen. The most beautiful girl anyone had ever seen. They quickly become friends and she unlocks a side of him he never would have guessed existed. A side that scared him but exhilarated him all at once and the best part is that she's just as smart as him, maybe even smarter. Spencer can't believe his luck...until it all fell apart. 6 years later he is going on his second year of working for the BAU and had almost forgotten his old friend. Or at least he had convinced himself he had until she waltzes in as the newest member of the BAU on his 24 birthday. Now, Spencer has no idea how to handle seeing the person he had once cared about more than anything who had abandoned him. How will he react? Why did she leave? What exactly happened between the two? And the Story of Us looks a lot like a tragedy now- Taylor Swift This story will begin in Season one and will feature some plot line and cases from the show. It is a slow burn Spencer Reid fic that will be part of a series. This story also will contain some Smut so read at your own discretion.

The first time Hotch sees you - young, brazen and violent - it's at an old trailer and he's there with Gideon to question you about your father's whereabouts. Someone who the BAU have pegged as their unsub. The second time he sees you - they're back to question the family of an unsub's victim. And you're different: elegant, eloquent and all sharp edges now well-rounded and polished. And married to a billionaire. The third time it's inside the interrogation room, after they find the corpse of a second man looking eerily similar to your missing husband. --- (Elevator pitch: reader may be a serial killer and Hotch is certain you murdered your husband. Chaos and situationships occurr) ---- (this is a slow build - yes they yearn! enemies to fuck buddies to enemies to lovers! - and implied sexual content) so much murder! so much yearning! #147 in enemies to lovers 😌😌 I do not own Criminal minds, the characters and the story!*
