CRIMINAL MINDS FANFICTION

✧・゚: *✧・゚:*

"I'm coiled up like a venomous serpent,
tangled in your trance and I'm certain
you have got your hooks in me...
And just like the rain, 
you cast the dust into nothing" 
- "Rain" by Sleep Token

✧・゚: *✧・゚:*

Haunted by the ghost of trauma after working for the ViCAP unit, the reader is transferred to a new unit in the FBI with hopes of moving forward and never looking back. However, the reader refuses to confront her trauma, leaving her in a whirlwind of pain that she can never seem to get rid of. After meeting a certain genius in the BAU, the reader starts to realize she has feelings for him. Dr. Spencer Reid seems to wash every painful memory away, but the reader won't let herself get close to anyone in fear of the past repeating itself.

 Will the reader be able to stumble through the storm of pain, grief, and guilt to finally heal so that she can focus on building her own happy ending? Or will she continue building walls around herself in hopes of staying safe, yet keeping everyone she loves out?

"IT DOESN'T MATTER, AVA, I HAD TO WATCH" Spencer yelled and brushed his fingers through his hair. "Spence, I..." "FUCK, AVA, DO YOU... DO YOU KNOW HOW IT FEELS TO SIT IN A CAR WITH MORGAN WHILE HE'S... BRAGGING ABOUT KISSING YOU? KISSING MY GIRLFRIEND?" Ava opened her mouth and closed her eyes. 'Fuck you, Morgan' she thought. "AND HE WON'T STOP, AVA, BECAUSE HE IS MORGAN AND KEEN ON YOU, SO FUCK YEAH, I WILL HAVE TO LISTEN TO THIS MANY FUCKING TIMES" Spencer shouted and walked through the room. "It's not MY fault, Spencer" Ava said quietly, but he didn't listen. "'I kissed Ava, daaaaamn, pretty boy, her lips are sooo soft, I want to kiss her again'" Reid angrily imitated Morgan and stopped walking, standing in front of her. Ava saw the pain and the anger in his eyes as well as the love he felt, but didn't speak out. "But I just want to kiss YOU" she whispered and saw Spencers eyes turn a shade darker as he walked over, grabbed her face and gave her a deep and hard kiss, pressing her against the wall. She moaned in the kiss and pulled him closer, her hands on his waist, surprised by the hunger that he filled this kiss with. ------ Spencer and Ava had started their official something two month ago and he couldn't be happier to have the most beautiful girlfriend. He is hopelessly in love with Ava, who has a dark secret: A stalker, who has connections to the FBI. Spencer doesn't know much about him and while they slowly settle in a secret life of a normal couple, Ava is trying everything to free herself from him and with the help of Hotch she is setting a trap to finally catch the stalker.

A SPENCER REID LOVE STORY Spencer's POV: "There's something I have tell you all." Hotch wore an apprehensive look, but silenced, giving me the floor. "I've been...I've been seeing Vanessa Quinn..." The exchange of looks passed around the room ignited embarrassment. "We've been." I stop, taking a breath. "We met at a bookstore. We were suppose to go for dinner a few days ago, when we got back from Dallas. But she never called me back. I thought, maybe, she just changed her mind...but her phone goes straight to voicemail, and today, she's on the screen..." I look at her photo, hovering on the tv behind my team, feeling the distance between us. "I need your help to get her back."

He grabbed my arm at the last second and pulled me back, pressing my body tightly against his. "You like living on the edge, don't you?" He asked with a teasing smile, he was so close I could feel his breath on my mouth. "Only when I know you're there to catch me if I fall," I smiled back at him, biting my lip. His smile disappeared and a frown was put in its place, "we should talk." "About why you're being an ass to me?" I asked, feeling bold. I saw the shock register on his face before he could hide it. "I wasn't aware that I was," he said and cleared his throat. My heart was beating out of my chest and I could smell him so clearly, pine and a hint of lavender, mixed with the scotch from his breath. I knew he hadn't been drinking a lot, but I had, so I took my chance, the urge to kiss him taking over. Though his lips were pretty, it was the feel of them that sent my mind into a sensual state of intoxication. His lips gently pressed against mine made my legs shake. His hands held me tight by the waist and mine was lost in his hair. In that kiss was the sweetness of passion, a million loving thoughts condensed into one moment. The hint of a promise. A promise of realness, a promise to love him forever. - This is the sequel to BLAKE. This is a Criminal Minds story. I do not own Criminal Minds.
