'𝘤𝘢𝘯'𝘵 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧, 𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘭𝘪𝘦.' Spencer prides himself on his ability to detect lies, to spot the tiniest inconsistencies in a person's story - it's the one thing he's always been able to rely on. Which is why he feels such a disdain for the BAU's newest member. Unlike the rest of the team, he isn't fooled by her veneer of normalcy.

He just needs to prove it, and her 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 will come crashing down. [ A Spencer Reid x Reader ]

Philophobia by beesbitchh

After a year undercover in the Church of The Morning Dove, SSA Dr. Adeline Buckley finds herself becoming the newest member of the BAU's A team when an old friend puts in the request. With nothing left but a baby and a few more scars to show for her commitment, the BAU seemed like the perfect fresh start. The chance to work with the man who made her leave medicine to become an FBI agent in the first place was just too tempting. It would've been a perfect fit if she didn't stop for coffee on her first day, then she wouldn't of met him. It's not everyday someone orders the exact same complicated drink as you, and it's not everyday he's exactly what you wanted from life. What could go wrong? Surely nothing could go wrong. "Sorry I'm late, there was this girl at the coffee shop today, I think I might have a chance. I'm buying her coffee tomorrow." The familiar voice and story caught my attention as I turned around to see the man from the coffee shop. "Dr. Spencer Reid, this is Dr. Adeline Buckley."

The Probability Of Us (A Spencer Reid fanfiction) by Elle_A_

For Agent Julie Wright, the newest profiler in the FBI's Behavioural Analysis Unit, control is everything. Even though she is an expert in reading the silent confessions of others, she is fiercely protective of her own secrets, especially the anxiety that threatens to unravel her carefully constructed composure. In the world of the BAU, where every weakness is a liability, Julie knows she needs to keep herself composed. Then there's Dr Spencer Reid. He's a riddle she can't quite solve, a brilliant mind who seems to see past the facade she shows the world. Their connection is quiet, unspoken, a subtle shift in the high-stakes environment they work in. It's a complication Julie hadn't accounted for and perhaps a vulnerability she cannot afford. When a series of cases forces her to confront the darkness she's trained to analyse, the lines between her professional and personal life blur. In a job that demands she understand the minds of monsters, Julie finds that the most dangerous unknown is the truth of what she's willing to risk, and who she's willing to become. (Warning, written with a lot of help from AI, parts written by AI. I've spent many hours rewriting and ensuring it's a good story. If you dislike AI-generated stories, just be aware that some parts might still sound a bit AI generated.)
