"I'm coiled up like a venomous serpent,
tangled in your trance and I'm certain
you have got your hooks in me...
And just like the rain,
you cast the dust into nothing"
- "Rain" by Sleep Token

Haunted by the ghost of trauma after working for the ViCAP unit, the reader is transferred to a new unit in the FBI with hopes of moving forward and never looking back. However, the reader refuses to confront her trauma, leaving her in a whirlwind of pain that she can never seem to get rid of. After meeting a certain genius in the BAU, the reader starts to realize she has feelings for him. Dr. Spencer Reid seems to wash every painful memory away, but the reader won't let herself get close to anyone in fear of the past repeating itself.
Will the reader be able to stumble through the storm of pain, grief, and guilt to finally heal so that she can focus on building her own happy ending? Or will she continue building walls around herself in hopes of staying safe, yet keeping everyone she loves out?
