"That though the radiance which was once so bright be now forever taken from my sight. Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass, glory in the flower. We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind." plot by: @blackbriefs [criminal minds / au] started: 06/06/19 finished: to be added

Spencer Reid and Maddy Schofield meet when Maddy joined the BAU. They are both geniuses, Spencer with an IQ of 187 and Maddy's at 188, just a point over. They instantly have a connection and eventually end up with a relationship. They've both been through their fair share of hardships in life. It gets even harder when Maddy and Spencer get kidnapped when her dad escapes from jail, out for blood. Will the relationship survive? Will they survive? I give credit to the creators and producers of Criminal Minds and CBS for some of the characters and scenes.
