Author's Notes - One strange idea. A few weird mental images. Too little sleep. A a lot of blank notebooks. That's what drove me to write this story. :D

Whoa--cool! After your other comment I decided to check out crossbigbang since I love writing crossovers, and the first one I saw was this! Criminal Minds is my favorite TV show (as you could probably tell XD) and I've seen Inception so this looks awesome!

Only question though—is it R just because of the violence and torture bits? Because I can handle that, but I wanted to see if there was going to be...anything happening between the characters like pairings or something? ^^; I just wanted to make sure because I've read stories where suddenly two characters do something that I totally wasn't expecting and it can be a little scarring. I've learned to always be wary, since R usually denotes sexual scenes to me. If a victim they're evaluating suffered from rape or something then I can handle that and skip over if needed. I just wanted to make sure.

Thanks!

Aye, the R rating is just from violence and torture. There are no pairings other than friendship, and any sexual violence is vaguely implied, at best. I really hope you like the story!

Oh, and I don't know if this interests you at all, but I did a Criminal Minds story for au_bigbang with vampires and werewolves that may or may not be of interest to you. :)
