Im Honestly Surprised Its Not A More Common Au - Tumblr Posts

ive had this thought rattling around in my brain for a thousand years but i wanted to wait until i got to diana's introduction to share it. do you ever think about how reid's life would have changed if he'd had any siblings? particularly younger ones?
how it would have changed the kind of person he became, how much worse the parentification would have been. how much more of a scumbag it would have made his father. if he had custody or if he lost them to the system or to family he barely knew (whenever i think about this sort of au i always think of the first, maybe because the latter two are just Too Real). do you ever think about it. i do.

im honestly surprised its not a more common au
“what if [character] had siblings” is a really common concept
and with reid
that changes his story significantly
regardless of the age of the sibling
i suppose maybe because like
there ARE “reid has a sibling!” aus but like a lot of those
they often exist to be reader inserts or to have an oc to ship with a canon character
so “reid has a significantly younger sibling who he has custody of” isnt as common as i thought it would be
because it doesnt fit either of those very well
am i making any sense?
i have seen some aus with this concept but im just surprised they arent more
and they never do it the way it is in my head!! /lh
criminal minds
