Summary
NEXT CHAPTER COMING DECEMBER
Crossed glances. Quiet conversations. A fragile, one-sided connection that seems destined to unravel. Perhaps it exists only in her mind, for she yearns too much and lives too little. In her insulated world, the new philosophy professor—soft-spoken, awkward in ways that make him strangely approachable, and fiercely devoted to his students—arrives like the universe’s cruelest joke, shaking the very foundations of her carefully ordered life. A frail thread, a red twine, pulls her toward him, and perhaps, somehow, him toward her. But her heart is fragile, her judgment clouded, and her emotions far too easily shattered.
And him? He is reserved, closed off, a man who keeps his distance yet sees her—truly sees her. And that glimpse, that acknowledgment, is hope.
But hope is a dangerous thing for a girl like her.Or, AU where Spencer is a high school teacher, and a girl falls terribly in love.

Summary
Spencer Reid and Darcy Maddox were inseparable as children until a schoolyard incident drove a wedge between them. Two decades later, when a series of ritualistic killings brings the BAU to Boston, Spencer and Darcy are reunited. Only, Darcy is guarded, and it’s more than simply having grown up. Gone is the bookish track runner who looked out for him at school. In her place is a woman who holds the world at arm’s length.
Then another victim disappears, and the team is determined not to let the trail go cold. And when Darcy starts to feel she’s being targeted, the profile begins pointing at something sinister and explosive lurking in her past.
Now complete, with two bonus chapters.
