Summary: No-powers, modern AU crossover.

A string of brutal deaths brings the FBI’s vaunted Behavioural Analysis Unit to New York City on the trail of a serial arsonist. But when the UnSub appears to target a young man named William Kaplan, it becomes clear that nothing at all is what it seems...

“The bodies were found in the living room?” Reid asked, pacing back and forth along the hallway between the kitchen and living room to gauge the space, what the UnSub would have seen, felt, smelled – correction. Smell was not an accurate indicator at this point, the cling of ash and acrid smoke overlaying everything in a thick blanket of entropy.
