This story picks up in the middle of the series, not at the beginning, because I couldn't quite picture Nathaniel as one of the originals on the team..
Story Description:
Before the BAU, Nathaniel "Nate" Hayes learned to survive in silence-reading danger in a flicker of movement, finding strength beneath scars no one sees. Now, as a profiler and guardian to his siblings, he carries the weight of a fractured past with a steady hand and sharp instincts.
Thrown into the heart of darkness again, Nate confronts monsters both out in the field and inside himself. The cases are grim, the pressure relentless, but it's the quiet moments between that reveal the true fight-holding on, letting others in, and navigating the fragile balance between control and vulnerability.
Nathaniel is my original character. Everything else-the world, the storylines, the other characters-belongs to the original creators.

Starting Fresh. Spencer Reid X OC.
The BAU is filled with special souls who work hard and also members who try harder. For some it is natural and others prefer to do their work on their own. This is the story of a quiet young girl who searched for a place she might call home and then she found it but not where she thought and not where some of the team had hoped. I am aware of inconsistencies. IE Maeve and Gideon. I am not following the timeline. Just what I like and remember from the start.Complete

"Why didn't you wait for backup?" He yelled. "I didn't want him to get away." I said, walking further into the room. "You disobeyed my direct order." He said, still yelling. "Would you have rather me let him get away?" I said, getting louder. Not quite as loud as him. "You could have been shot." He said, still yelling. He took a step closer to me. "I know." "You could have been killed." He said, softer. "I know." I said, almost a whisper. "Your insubordination could have ended in death Catherine." He yelled inches away from my face. "I know." I said, getting louder. "I don't know how you could be so careless." He said, continuing to yell. "I'm sorry." "You're sorry?" He said, yelling. He put his thumb and middle finger on the bridge of his nose. "Hotch, I-" his lips came crashing onto mine.Complete
