The Probability Of Us (A Spencer Reid fanfiction)
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.
