Spencer Reid, IQ 187, works for the BAU, and is heart-broken after a tragic event shakes the very foundation of his being. He begins to use his lack of social skills as an excuse to do little more than throw himself into books or work. His team, fearing he may collapse into, yet another, drug-abusing situation will try anything to help the youngest of their team. They need a miracle.
Gabriela James, IQ 179, is not a miracle worker. She is a 21 year old convict, ex-foster child and mental patient. Legally, she shouldn't even be here, yet due to a rather interesting turn of events and even more interesting past, she is allowed to be on her own as long as she works for the BAU of Quantico, Virginia.
The two cross paths, but as they get closer to each other, can they find a way to make everything work out happily, or is that saved for the big screen?

Psychopathy
(A Criminal Minds Fanfic {Dr. Spencer Reid}) Book 2 in the "Psychosis" series. As long as the members of the BAU have known her, Ciara Byrne has kept a wealth of secrets- secrets that seemed to destroy her even as she held tightly onto them. After a year of working with her, most of them had learned to let it go and had given up on ever finding out those secrets. But when Ciara goes missing, letting those secrets stay hidden may not be an option anymore. Dr. Spencer Reid thought he knew Ciara. But as the investigation goes on, more holes start to appear in the plot of her life, and he starts to realize how little he actually knew her. But what he did know was that her disappearance left him realizing how much his feelings for her had grown and that he should have told her that long ago. He knew that the key to finding her before it was too late was hidden somewhere in the secrets of her past, and when the genius set his mind to something, nothing and no one could stop him. The clock is ticking. An agent's life is on the line. And if the BAU wants to have any chance of seeing Ciara again, they'll have to work hard to unearth the secrets she fought so hard to keep buried. *Rated Mature for scenes depicting sexual assault and graphic tortureComplete

Psychosis
(A Criminal Minds Fanfic {Dr. Spencer Reid}) Isabel Ashe: writer, supposed prodigy, all-around mystery. No one knows anything about Isabel, but that's because she wants to keep it that way. The FBI, however, doesn't want to keep it that way. Throughout Isabel's works, it's been shown she is an expert on forensic psychology: an expert of knowing how to get into a criminal's mind to catch them. For this reason, it is thought that she would be an excellent member of the Behavioral Analysis Unit, or the BAU. However, they have to find her first. They thought of sending the BAU to find her. After all, who better to find a potential profiler than a team of profilers? The members of the BAU didn't expect to have to find the ghost of a girl that is Isabel Ashe. However, when all other resources have been exhausted, it seems they are the only chance the FBI has left of finding her. Thanks to the technical genius of Penelope Garcia, they quickly find out who Isabel Ashe really is, and finding her becomes less of a challenge. They prepared for how they were going to tell Isabel Ashe that she was wanted by the FBI for reasons they didn't know. What they didn't prepare for was finding the girl riddled with psychosis, among other things. Yet, they decide to take a chance with her when they see she has amazing control over her psychosis. After all, who better to catch a psycho than a psycho?Complete
