Ephemeral - S.R

EPHEMERAL (adj.): lasting for a very short time; fleeting, transient, impermanent. Like a single breath in the cold or the fading glow of a match, some things are meant to burn brightly-then disappear.

For Dr. Spencer Reid, the concept of ephemerality has always been both a comfort and a curse. It explains the fleeting nature of human connection, yet reminds him of all he's lost. But when the BAU teams up with Amelia "lia" Carter, an empathetic Victim Outreach Coordinator, he begins to question whether some connections are meant to last.

Meanwhile, Victoria Hayes, the newly appointed FBI Deputy Director of Behavioral Science and Crisis Management, steps into the world of the BAU with a reputation for precision and an unwavering commitment to justice. She is pragmatic, calculating, and as immovable as stone-until she crosses paths with Aaron Hotchner. Bound by duty but divided by method, the two clash as often as they find common ground.

Some things are ephemeral. Others refuse to fade.
Maybe, just maybe, this time... they'll stay.
