One popular theme is teamwork. Fanfics often focus on how Spencer and Morgan work together seamlessly to solve cases. Their different skillsets - Spencer's academic knowledge and Morgan's practical experience - combine to crack the toughest of cases.
Spencer would likely stay calm and start analyzing the situation immediately. He'd be looking for any clues about the kidnapper's identity, motives, and location. His vast knowledge would come in handy as he tries to piece together what's going on.
The relationship in the fanfic could also show a mentorship aspect. Morgan, being more experienced in the field, might guide Spencer not only in the work - related matters but also in dealing with the emotional toll of the job. For example, in some fanfics, Morgan helps Spencer understand how to handle the stress of seeing the dark side of humanity on a daily basis.
Spencer Reid, the brilliant mind in Criminal Minds, could meet a forensic scientist in the story. They start off as colleagues, sharing their insights on cases. Slowly, Reid finds himself drawn to her intelligence and kindness. One day, after a particularly tough case, he finally musters the courage to ask her out for coffee. Their relationship blossoms as they discuss books, their shared love for knowledge, and of course, the intricacies of criminal profiling.
One popular Spencer kidnapped fanfiction might involve a complex plot where an old enemy targets him for his intelligence. They manage to kidnap him and the team has to use all their skills to find him. In this type of fanfiction, there could be a lot of psychological drama as Spencer tries to outwit his captors while being held in a confined space.
One common theme is the team's reaction to Spencer being hurt. It often shows how they come together to support him, like Morgan being overly protective or JJ showing her motherly side. Another theme is Spencer's own internal struggle. He's such a complex character, so when he's hurt, it can be about how he deals with pain, both physically and mentally.
Case - based themes are also very popular. Writers create their own unsubs and investigations for the BAU team to solve. It's like creating a new episode. And of course, there are themes about the psychological trauma that the agents might face due to their jobs.
Criminal Minds is fiction. The stories and characters are crafted by the writers to engage and thrill the audience. It doesn't represent actual nonfictional criminal cases.
A great love plot could be Reid falling in love with a victim - turned - advocate. After they meet during a case where she was a victim, Reid is impressed by her strength and determination to turn her experience into something positive. They keep in touch, and Reid helps her with some research for her advocacy work. This shared interest and her admiration for Reid's intelligence lead to a romantic relationship.
