These days, who doesn’t have a few daddy issues?
As a trust-fund darling with no love in her life but more money than she could ever spend, Luna Walgrins considers herself well-adjusted, mentally healthy, law-abiding, and peace-loving. Aside from her somewhat niche career choice as a forensic pathologist, she is practically the model of a modern-day heiress.
She thought her life would go on like that until she met the BAU.
How to put it? This bunch is so busy their feet barely touch the ground, so broke they’re downright proud of it, and trading their lives for paychecks that are never enough. They do everything in a case except the killing, and every last one of them thinks they’re doing the most important job in the world. Especially that white, privileged, textbook team leader. Just looking at him puts her in a foul mood.
Luna: Thanks, but no thanks. I work nine to five, have weekends and paid leave, and I’m rich.
Later.
A cleaner, a ripper, an arsonist, a rich-person killer... One case after another. The more she learns, the more she looks forward to it, longs for it, and gets in too deep.
Luna can only admit through her tears that she might, in fact, have a bit of a daddy issue.
