After one tragic night, Y/N Howard's life is never the same.
Y/N, 16, was the girl who had it all in Manhattan-cheer captain, star performer, art queen, and a wild heart that lived for the spotlight. Her little sister Jackie, 15, was her opposite-driven, focused, and always chasing perfection. But when a devastating car crash takes their parents and older sister Lucy, the Howard sisters are uprooted from their glittering New York life and dropped into rural Silver Falls, Colorado, to live with the Walter family-a chaotic home full of boys, noise, and unspoken grief.
Jackie struggles to fit into the chaos, while Y/N blends in with old flirty ties to Cole Walter and an explosive enemies-to-lovers spark with the one boy she can't stand: Isaac Garcia. He's loud, sarcastic, infuriatingly hot-and the only one who sees through her mask.
As the girls navigate grief, high school, late-night confessions, and complicated relationships, secrets surface-especially the one Y/N swore she'd never tell: Lucy was driving that night.
In this deeply emotional, dramatic, and mature coming-of-age romance, Chaos & Color explores love, trauma, healing, and what happens when your perfect life burns down-and you have to build something new from the ashes.

It's Y/N's first day at the BAU. She's extremely nervous and excited as one would be starting the best job possible. She cannot wait to meet the amazing team Agent Hotchner has described to her. Everyone fits his description so well, the witty, lovely Garcia. The old, pasta papi Rossi. The Superman of the world Morgan. The funny, creative Prentiss. And the sly, caring JJ. Everyone seems so wonderful and welcoming.
Well, everyone except this asshole in the corner.
In which the Reader and Reid have a rough start due to her past, the anger soon turns into something more.
Conversations that were had, but left unsaid.
I promise the story is better than the shitty description- πͺπ€πΌ
