AUTHOR'S NOTE

this story is heavily inspired by these songs:
mad woman - taylor swift

possible content warnings:
swearing, anxiety, depression, violence, descriptions of blood, implied sex, sexual innuendos, death, assault

any chapters with triggering content will be labeled as such at the top, if there isn't a warning, please let me know so i can add it

no smut (i'm asexual and i'm uncomfortable writing it)

i do not own the background plot featured in this story. the plot of criminal minds belongs to the writers and the companies that produced them, as do the characters that they've created. i only own wren, her story, and her relationships with other characters.

while this story does follow the timelines within seasons 5 and 6, there will be references made to media that was created after. there is no set year that this story takes place in.

cover credits go to the lovely drukarri <333
