Title: Somebody’s Watching, Somebody’s Waiting

Fandom: Criminal Minds

Pairing: Jennifer Jareau/Maggie Lowe

Disclaimer: Criminal Minds is property of CBS and I don’t own anything.

Rating: PG

Summary/Spoilers: This is a retelling of the episode ‘Somebody’s Watching’. The BAU team is on the hunt for a killer stalking an actress. Meanwhile Jennifer Jareau begins dating the actress’s best friend, unaware she’s the stalker they’re searching for. Yeah that’s right I just revealed the ending of the episode, but it’s not possible to write this story without revealing it anyway. Numerous story revelations are revealed.

A/N: This episode not only had two women I really like (A.J. Cook and Katheryn Winnick) together, but the first portrayal of gay characters on Criminal Minds, with Katheryn being one of them. It had so many things going for it, but instead it was disappointing. A.J. and Katheryn’s screen time was minimal, they never appeared onscreen together, and the gay portrayals were terrible. Ironically Maggie Lowe is probably still the best portrayed gay character on the series. So I decided to write this episode the way it should’ve gone. Oh and that “lesbian” crushing on Gideon earlier in the episode because he reminded her of her dad? That scene alone warrants her getting erased from the story.

A/N 2: For anyone not familiar with the episode, here it is if you want a refresher. Though I should warn you, there's no gay kissing in the episode. Instead we get a cringe worthy forced love story. I recommend skipping the gallery scene and starting at about 3:45 min because that scene isn't apart of this story. Also do not go past the scene when the LA detective is being wheeled into the ambulance. Trust me you do not want to go past that point. Or if you're just curious how our two stars look like, here's A.J. Cook (Jennifer Jareau) and Katheryn Winnick (Maggie Lowe).
