"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.

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 ]

We're all running away from something. Question is, can we escape it? Eleanor Price has a traumatic past that she's spent her life trying to hide.

But ten years later, when she's called back to her home town for an abduction case, can she keep her demons at bay? Or will all hell break loose? One would've thought that keeping your true feelings hidden was easy. Heck, she'd been doing it her whole life. But when Spencer Reid pushes through her emotionless facade, will he be the one to calm the storm? Or will he too fall victim to her torturous past?

Don't let go - Emily Prentiss x Reader
You and Emily met at the BAU when she transferred back from Interpol after Hotch had hired you a few months before. You fit right into the team when you joined, and naturally developed a great friendship with Emily when she returned too. But that friendship quickly developed into a little something more, and although you'd agreed to keep it secret from the rest of the team, it was getting harder to hide how much you cared for each other, especially when one particular case puts you right at the forefront of the team's investigation. This fanfic will revolve around y/n having mental health issues, and whilst the relationship with Emily will play a large part in the storyline, I want to keep it as realistic as possible so y/n's mental health problems will continue throughout. For the purposes of this story, Emily's return from Interpol is the only reason why she's left the BAU, the Ian Doyle storyline has not happened yet. (This story mentions various mental health topics including depression, anxiety, eating disorders (restriction and purging), self-harm and suicide. Please don't read if you think it'll trigger you, and please reach out to someone if you're struggling.) Smut warning - chapters with smut involved will have '*' in the titleComplete

𝐌𝐢𝐦𝐢, (would you ever light up with somebody like me?)
Four years after her mission, Emily decided it was time for a new beginning and moved back to the States to pursue her dream career, with her three-year-old toddler in tow. Navigating motherhood and the unpleasant feelings her new boss unwittingly stirred within her, Emily struggled to hide the enjoyment she felt from the light he brought into her life. And in a precarious situation she was too complacent to recognize, she found herself happy and content. But she would soon discover that she was never fully untethered from her past- no matter where she went or the oceans she crossed, some shadows simply never faded; their grip remained unyielding. Slowly, the wall she had built to protect herself began to crack, its segments fracturing, allowing old ghosts to creep through the gaps and reenter her world.
