   Summary

   Jason somehow became an Unofficial-Official member of the BAU because he got attached and he needed to teach them some self-preservation skills. He may be an undead crime lord, but he knows a thing or two.

   The BAU had gained a mute and hyper-competent teenage vigilante because the team got attached and they could use his perspective on their cases. Unfortunately, he couldn’t be made an official member. They made do with the best they could.

   Surely nothing bad will come from having Jason as a BAU member. Right?

    

   Sequel to When You Think the Trail is Cold (It’s Burning).
