"I'm searching for something that I can't reach." ↬ Lily Stilinski's biggest problems in life used to be easily defined: figuring out how to get her friends to be civil towards one another, not missing the delivery time for her next collectable and finding out how to convince people that - yes, she does have a collection of fantasy weapons - but no, she isn't a nerd. At least, those were her worries before her idiot brother decided that it would be a great idea to go searching the woods at night for a dead body. Now she finds herself anxious about almost everything; not only have none of her old problems disappeared (her friends still hate each other, she hasn't even had time to order anything new and now, she's finding herself trying to convince her dad that - no, that's not blood on my special edition Batarang - when really it is and she has no idea how to get it out) but now she has new, even worse ones. Like deciding whether or not she can trust Derek Hale, trying to help her best friend not rage out and kill people and keeping herself and everyone else alive when all she wants to do is crawl under her bed and hide. With her friends and family in tow and a surprisingly useful hobby, Lily Stilinski thinks she just might make it out relatively okay - too bad she can't say the same for her collection. ↬ season one&two unedited complete

When Elsie moved to Hemlock Grove, she didn't plan on getting involved with Roman Godfrey and the horrifying mysteries that come with him. *I do not own any of the Hemlock Grove characters, plot, as well as some dialogue. I only own my own characters.*

Spencer wraps the blanket tighter around us causing me to melt into him further. He sweeps my wet hair over my shoulder while I stare out towards the golden sunset. He plants a kiss on my temple before nuzzling his face into my neck. "Thank you," He whispers. I run my fingers through his soft curls, "For what?" "For showing me life doesn't always have to be so serious," He sighs. "I don't know what I did before you," He mutters, almost like it wasn't for me to hear.

Y/n and Dr. Spencer Reid have been friends the moment she joined the team, but their interest in one another begins to change. Will this blossoming romance thrive in the midst of mania?
