There are moments in life that you work so hard for, things your younger self couldn't even imagine you doing... and when those moments arrive, what do you do with them? After joining the Victim Services Branch of the FBI in Quantico, it's been a dream to interact with the BAU and assist a case of theirs. Your lifestyle of late nights and overworking yourself keep you single despite this loneliness you refuse to acknowledge. But when you're constantly reminded of how quickly life can shatter around your feet, leaving you bare and bleeding as you try to put the pieces back together as neatly as you can... only for life to never be the same again, you start to feel it a little more.
When the call finally comes, your work pulls you into a case the BAU is tackling, and while it caught you a little off guard, you walk away from the case with something more. Spencer has never shown vulnerability until you came around, and then things changed. From innocent comments to passionate nights, your world shifts as your two souls collide into one.
*Disclaimer/Trigger Warning: this story is a work of fiction building off of information gathered from the series Criminal Minds and my own experiences within social service work. This story will contain mature topics such as addiction, mental health, suicide (past tense), trauma, detailed intimacy (idk if I'm qualified to deem this smut, so you be the judge), intercourse, and other topics readers may feel uncomfortable with.
Y/N Y/L/N is someone who has never felt true welcomeness. She's been unwelcome since she was a child, even in her own family.
When she moves to Virginia and starts her new job with the BAU, she starts to learn what being welcome is really like. Especially when she meets Dr. Spencer Reid, who she immediately has a longing for. It's so intense, they begin a BDSM relationship, one that surpasses all expectations.
It's just sex, of course. Well, that's what they all say. It's what she said. Until she finds herself with one-sided feelings for him, tangled up into the mix of their strictly-sex relationship.
And what happens when Y/N realizes maybe she's not made to live her life without storm? That it's only meant to diminish while around Spencer, not disappear...
