CRIMINAL MINDS FANFICTION

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

"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

Haunted by the ghost of trauma after working for ViCAP, 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 away every painful memory and feeling when he is near, 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 that she loves out?

The Story of Us by Jbic02
40 parts Complete Mature
What if the Spencer Reid that the team knew wasn't the real Spencer Reid? What if there was a Spencer that nobody would even imagine when they looked at him, a Spencer that only came out around one girl? Spencer Reid was a child prodigy who had been bullied his whole life, but what would you expect when you started high school at 8 and graduate at 12. When he got to Caltech he hoped that everything would be better and he had no idea how right he was. His first day of school he met her. The most beautiful girl he had ever seen. The most beautiful girl anyone had ever seen. They quickly become friends and she unlocks a side of him he never would have guessed existed. A side that scared him but exhilarated him all at once and the best part is that she's just as smart as him, maybe even smarter. Spencer can't believe his luck...until it all fell apart. 6 years later he is going on his second year of working for the BAU and had almost forgotten his old friend. Or at least he had convinced himself he had until she waltzes in as the newest member of the BAU on his 24 birthday. Now, Spencer has no idea how to handle seeing the person he had once cared about more than anything who had abandoned him. How will he react? Why did she leave? What exactly happened between the two? And the Story of Us looks a lot like a tragedy now- Taylor Swift This story will begin in Season one and will feature some plot line and cases from the show. It is a slow burn Spencer Reid fic that will be part of a series. This story also will contain some Smut so read at your own discretion.

55 parts Complete Mature
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.
