Summary
"The best and most beautiful things in the world... they have to be felt with the heart."
I joined the FBI to get to the BAU. CAC was just the step in between.
Then Spencer Reid walked in-PhDs, cardigans, and so stupidly attractive it completely derailed my ability to speak like a functioning adult.
We were supposed to work one case together. Now I'm pretending I don't notice how brilliant he is.
This is fine. Totally fine. I'm being very normal about it.
Set during Season 2, Episode 2 ("P911"), this is a slow(ish) friends-to-lovers rewrite where Evelyn Gilroy takes Amanda's place and tries very hard not to fall in love with Spencer Reid.

Summary
“What’s there to talk about?” Dean scoffed. “Tempest here lied to us the whole time we knew him! And then ran as soon as it came out!”
“What would you have done?” Tempest cut in. “If I had stayed.”
Dean turned to look him in the eye. “Shot you.”
“And obviously I didn’t want that.” Tempest folded his arms.
Sam squinted. “Okay, can you get out of the police officer’s skin? It feels weird.” Dean had to agree.
Tempest sighed. “Fine.” He didn’t walk away or anything before he started to shed his skin. Dean slapped a hand across his eyes and then turned around. When all the squishy sounds stopped, he opened his eyes, now face to face with Spencer Reid.

This is the story of how two colleagues became so much more — without rushing, without pressure, just real healing and real connection.

Summary
Hearts, like cases, cannot always be solved at first glance.
When Dr. Spencer Reid first crossed paths with Aurora Antonelli, they were seated across an interrogation table—he was a rookie profiler, and she was one of the suspects.
Years later, when they met again, the tables had turned. Spencer was left spiraling, as Aurora held his fate in her hands, deciding whether he was fit to return to the field after being shot.
Now, on their third encounter, everything is on the line: a serial killer is targeting psychiatrists, Aurora is believed to be the next victim, and Spencer is the one assigned to keep her safe.
In the shadows of danger, they must learn to work together, let go of past judgments, and face the truth—that love can strike in the most unlikely places, and sometimes the people we least expect are the ones who stay.
