"How many existentialists does it take to screw a lightbulb?" Spencer asked with a small laugh. Once again the room was silent. You faintly heard Agent Rossi mutter, "Don't." "2. One to change the light bulb and one to observe how it symbolizes an incandescent beacon of subjectivity in a netherworld of cosmic nothingness," he said. The room was silent still, until you laughed. His eyes looked up at yours in confusion. "Wouldn't they sit in the dark and hope that the bulb decided to light again? An existentialist would never change the bulb. He would allow the darkness to exist," you questioned. - #1 #spencerreid #1 #mgg #1 emilyprentiss

Proxy: the agency, function, or power of a person authorized to act as the deputy or substitute for another. °•°•° SSA Koraline Thompson wanted to join the BAU the second she read one of David Rossi's books. So when she's handed the golden opportunity to fill in for Agent Morgan during his six month recovery, she takes it without hesitation. What she didn't expect was to befriend the gorgeous genius with comforting brown eyes and an entire encyclopaedia in his head. Dr Spencer Reid had been in the BAU for almost twelve years. He'd seen his fair share of agents join and leave the team, but none were as stunning as Morgan's proxy. Between her perfectly proportioned face, her sense of humour, and tolerance of his ramblings, he inferred that he'd be in trouble. As per usual, his hypothesis was right. The only thing standing between them is Kory's rule: no dating coworkers. Between that, FBI rules, and the shadows of their pasts, a relationship is simply off the table. Or it should have been. If only he wasn't able to read her so easily. And if only she wasn't one of the few people actually interested in every word he had to say. This would be a long six months. ||Spencer Reid Fan-Fic - Criminal Minds|| ||Seasons 11-15|| ||mostly original content with important canon events/trauma|| ||Content warnings inside|| ||Complete - 280,000 words|| ||Book 1/3 of the Thompson/Vasquez Universe|| Notable rankings: #1 in criminalminds #1 in spencerreid #1 in crimesolving #1 in friendstolovers #2 in ocstory #5 in pining #7 in crimefiction

When Spencer Reid approaches the reader about the BDSM lifestyle, you're surprised at first. You promise that it'll just be introducing him and it's just because you're the best person to introduce him to the world of BDSM, and that's what it was for a while. You were enjoying yourselves. But when you start developing feelings, you don't know how to confront it. When the reader goes to the team, eyebrows are lifted and advice is given. Inspired by Every Me and Every You, but Spencer is submissive and the reader is dominant.

"Oh shit, I'm so sorry, please let me help you with that" a lanky man with curly hair and a cut jaw said, who now joined her on the floor, helping collect exam papers that littered the tiled hallway. "Please do not worry about it, I'm always in my own little world, never really paying attention." She held out her hand and introduced herself. "I'm Dr. Zena Barbarage, I'm one of the professors in the science department here." "Dr. Spencer Reid with the FBI, I'm guest lecturing later and thought I would get here early to set up. And I'm so sorry, but I don't shake hands- it's a germ thing." The woman laughed and simply bumped his elbow with hers. In which the token genius of the BAU falls in love with an environmental science professor. *All credit goes to the creators of criminal minds. the only character I own is Zena Barbarage, Cyrus Barbarage, and Delilah Parker*
