"They warned me not to fall for someone on the team.
But I didn't fall.
I plunged."
When Raia Farand transfers to the BAU, she's hiding more than just a traumatic past-she's hiding the truth about who she really is.
She doesn't expect to find a home in the chaos. She doesn't expect to bond with Emily Prentiss over late-night conversations and guarded glances. She especially doesn't expect Spencer Reid-the brilliant, broken genius-to see straight through her defenses.
But danger doesn't end with the cases. When a familiar name resurfaces-Ian Doyle-Raia's past begins to unravel alongside Emily's.
And the closer she gets to the truth, the closer she comes to losing everything... including herself.
In this slow-burn Criminal Minds reimagining, secrets bleed, grief lingers, and falling in love might be the most dangerous choice of all.

In the Margins (Criminal Minds: Reid x OC x Hotch)
(A Love Story based on Criminal Minds) She finds meaning in what others leave behind. But some stories demand to be rewritten. Dr. Josephine "Jo" Prescott was never meant to be in the spotlight. A trauma linguist and one of the top graphologists in the country, she's spent her life in the spaces between - interpreting silence, decoding intent, and studying the way grief stains language. When the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit brings her in to consult on a ritual murder, Jo expects to offer insight and walk away. She doesn't expect to stay. And she certainly doesn't expect to matter. But some names refuse to fade. And some ghosts write back. As Jo becomes entangled in the team's darkest cases - and in the quiet pull between Spencer Reid's incandescent mind and Aaron Hotchner's steady gravity - old wounds resurface, including the disappearance of her sister, Lila, a case Jo's never stopped trying to solve. When a killer begins leaving letters only Jo can decipher, she must confront everything she's buried: her guilt, her grief, and her fear of being truly seen. Told through fragments, case files, and the emotional echoes that live in the margins, this is the story of a woman who spent her life reading everyone else's stories - until she finally writes her own.Complete
Say It (Hotch x Reader)// ✔
As an FBI agent in the Dallas field office, your unit calls for collaboration with the BAU. Years later, a decision is made for you, catapulting you suddenly into that same team - this time as a trainee. Amongst the flurry of cases, new teammates, and the struggle to keep up with the load of work, you start to carve out a new life. And if the man who'd grabbed your attention back then, SSA Aaron Hotchner, happens to slowly become your friend - you welcome it with open arms. Developing feelings for him - less so. This is a slow burn, and title from Maggie Rogers' song :) (Sorry I don't know how to write something that is not about yearning or pining) Image from tumblr user @0420-1102 I do not own Criminal minds, the characters or the story!*Complete

HOUSE OF CARDS | Spencer Reid
'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. There's something off about her; a lack of warmth in her smiles, a lack of light behind her eyes... She's hiding something, he knows she is. He just needs to prove it, and her 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 will come crashing down. [ A Spencer Reid x Reader ]
Written in Blood
Legacy. Olivia Marino is no stranger to legacy: she carries hers as a weight on her shoulder, too heavy to shed, too defining to run. As one of the youngest agents to join the BAU, she's determined to prove she belongs-on her own merit. With a sharp mind, fierce dedication, and walls built high enough to keep anyone at arm's length, Liv is a force to be reckoned with. Dr. Spencer Reid knows a thing or two about walls. Brilliant, awkward, and haunted by his own demons, Reid is drawn to Liv in ways he can't explain. But as their friendship deepens, so does the tension simmering beneath the surface. As cases grow darker and lines blur, Liv and Reid find themselves caught between what's safe and what's right. But in a world where the mind can be the deadliest weapon, trust isn't easily earned... and even harder to keep. Some things are worth the risk. But how do you protect someone when the biggest threat is the darkness they carry within?
Haunted by the Memory || Criminal Minds
"My kindness is a choice." ---- One little girl shouldn't be dropped in the middle of CIA plots and deceptions. Children of any age were too young to understand the patriotic duty to protect their nation at any cost necessary. Except, here she was, defying orders and making sure they regret ever clawing their way into her life. She liked it that way. She didn't expect to run into Doctor Spencer Reid. ---- The BAU has a bad habit of sticking their noses in places it shouldn't be. When there's an opening to investigate an incident that left a hole in Spencer's life, the team is all-hands on deck. He let that little girl slip from his grasp once, but he'd never let it happen again. But the answers the team uncovers may be too much to bear. OR Parental! Spencer Reid with a genius adopted kid who likes to disappear on him.
