two years ago, he was left with two words on a crinkled piece of paper. two words that would loom over him for days, incessantly taunt his mind for hours upon end. those two words were 'green light', and with the return of the horsemen, those words had never been more important than they were now.

WHAT A FEELING. ❝ You became the missing piece of a puzzle I've trying to solve my whole life. ❞ [ criminal minds x au ] [ spencer reid x female!oc ] [ @wintersargent, 2020 ]

❝ if you wanted to kill me, you would have done it already. but you haven't, because i think you know i'm the only person who really understands you ❞ spencer reid has always loathed the star-crossed lovers trope. i mean, he's read a lot of fiction, and it really is just a terribly repetitive romantic trope -- so, naturally, when it appears as a reality in his own life, it's very much unappreciated. and, well, star-crossed lovers has never been so literal than when spencer reid feels tied -- by fate, by their pasts, by simple sexual attraction -- to the nefarious subject of a rigorous investigation. this just might be the case of his life, and yet his mind keeps wandering away, down a deep, dark hallway to where someone calls his name. star-crossed lovers has never been so dangerous.
