Elaine Briar met a boy.
He took her into the forest.
It was supposed to be a romantic first date; a time to enjoy nature and get to know each other better.
But they soon realize they're not alone.
It's been said that you can't really know someone until you experience a trauma together-that's when true character reveals itself-that's when a person's essence rises to the surface, for better or for worse.
Is Owen really the smooth-talking, gentle dream she met in the coffee shop, or does something more sinister lurk beneath his handsome, irresistible exterior?
Elaine is going to find out what she's made of. And Owen is going to help her do that, one way or another.
Survival is the only thing that matters...

Echoes of Crimson Elegance | spencer reid x oc
Profiling criminals had not always been Evelyn's dream. The path she had envisioned since early childhood consisted of intellectual discussions of controversial artistic theories and late, caffeinated nights spent procrastinating on overdue art pieces and papers. And then her mother died. At least one part of her dream had come to fruition-she was completely dependent on coffee. When accepted into the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit, Evelyn finds she may not be as well-suited for the position as she believed to be, especially when a certain prodigal genius makes it his life's mission to see her fail. **This is a work of fiction-I do not own Criminal Minds or the characters within it.**
