Ineffable - S.REID
(adj) ❝too great or extreme to be expressed or described in words.❞ CLARA DAVIA didn't have much of a view of fate, of people joined by strings that pulled them together no matter what occurred in their lives. SPENCER REID hadn't an opinion either and logically he couldn't form one. Yet after a impromptu and random meeting, he wanted nothing more than to have the nameless woman be pulled towards him so they could meet again. On the morning of a normal work day, that very wish came true. And how could he not instantly be beguiled by the woman he had yearned to see for years? But she couldn't and shouldn't feel the same, they were just friends. Close friends who told eachother everything and lingered in subtle touches for moments too long. Their pauses and gazes were filled with stories themselves. approx 89k words ~ friends to lovers SPENCER REID X OC [4 APR-14 SEP]Complete
The Story of Us
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.Complete

Deviltown (Criminal Minds Dark!fic)
"Deviltown is colder in the summer time." Opal Hale is from a small town in the UK. With not much to occupy her she studied hard and graduated from school at 15 and university at 18. She is incredibly intelligent for her age and moves to the USA. Gets a job with the BAU in Quantico. Enemies to Lovers trope. SLOW BURN. Extreme violence, rape, non-con, murder, character death, kidnapping, age-gap, MATURE THEMES. Excerpt: "Just wondered how you get anything done with those dainty fingers," she shrugged and that wiped the smirk right off of his face, which in turn bought one to hers. Reid scowled for a moment, brows pinched together before he lent forward even more, face inches from Opal's - who just then realised that she'd been gradually inching closer to him during the conversation. His next words came out quietly but unbelievably clear. "I can show you, if you want." DISCLAIMER: I own Opal Hale, as well as the plot I've created, I do not own any of the Criminal Minds characters. This is purely fanfiction.Complete
