What are some interesting ideas for csi criminal minds crossover fanfiction?

One common theme is the combination of psychological profiling from 'Criminal Minds' and forensic evidence analysis from 'CSI'. Writers often use this to create a more comprehensive approach to solving crimes in the fanfiction. For instance, the BAU team might use their profiling skills to narrow down suspects, while the CSI team uses their evidence to confirm or refute the profiles.

One idea could be that the Scooby Gang from Buffy teams up with the BAU from Criminal Minds to solve a series of murders that seem to have a supernatural and a psychological aspect. Maybe the murders are being committed by a demon that is using human psychological weaknesses to target its victims.

One common theme is the clash and then the melding of different investigative techniques. In CSI Miami, there's a heavy focus on forensic evidence, while Criminal Minds is all about profiling. In crossovers, these two often start off as being in conflict but then end up working together well. For example, the CSI Miami team might initially be skeptical of the Criminal Minds' profiling methods until they see it work in the case.

I think Grissom from CSI and Reid from Criminal Minds. Grissom is so experienced with the forensic side of things, and Reid is a genius when it comes to profiling. Their interactions would be really cool. They could learn a lot from each other. Grissom could show Reid how to look at evidence in a more practical way, and Reid could give Grissom some insights into the psychological aspects of the cases.

Another one is 'Cross - Paths of Investigation'. This fanfiction delves deep into the relationships between the characters of the two shows. It's not just about solving cases but also how the characters interact with each other. For example, Reid from 'Criminal Minds' has some really interesting exchanges with the CSI lab techs. It's quite long but definitely worth the read for fans of both shows.

One interesting plot idea could be a serial killer who targets both the FBI agents from Criminal Minds and the SWAT team members. The two teams have to combine their skills, with the Criminal Minds team analyzing the killer's psyche and the SWAT team providing on - ground protection and tactical support. For example, the killer might be leaving cryptic messages that only the profilers can decipher, while the SWAT team has to deal with the physical threats the killer poses during their investigations.

One idea could be that the Scorpion team is called in to help the Criminal Minds team with a case involving a highly intelligent criminal who is using complex technology to carry out their crimes. For example, the Scorpion team could use their skills to decrypt the criminal's encrypted messages that the Criminal Minds team couldn't crack on their own.

There could be a fanfiction where the Teen Wolf gang travels to a city where the Criminal Minds team is based. They notice some odd killings that seem to be related to a supernatural force. The BAU starts to investigate, not realizing the true nature of what they're dealing with at first. As the two groups interact, there are misunderstandings, like when the BAU tries to profile Scott as a potential suspect because of his enhanced abilities. But eventually, they join forces. Scott shares his knowledge of the supernatural world with the BAU, and the BAU uses their profiling skills to track down the real culprit, which is a powerful supernatural being that has been using human proxies to carry out its killings.

One idea could be that the BAU team from Criminal Minds is called in to investigate a series of murders that seem to have a connection to Dexter's 'hobby'. Dexter, being the secret serial killer who targets other killers, might initially be a suspect. Then, as the story unfolds, they could end up working together to take down a bigger network of criminals that neither could handle alone.

Well, a cool plot might be that Sherlock and Reid from Criminal Minds get into a battle of wits over a case. The case could involve a super - intelligent criminal who is playing mind games with both of them. Or perhaps there's a case where the BAU's profiling skills are needed to understand the motives of a criminal that Sherlock has been chasing, but can't quite figure out the 'why' behind the crimes. And they end up learning from each other's methods.
