Working as the FBI interagency liaison officer is no easy job. It doesn't really help when the other agency is...less than amenable to receiving assistance. (this is my first try at a reader insert so i apologize if it's a bit wonky 😔) edit (3/27/21): thank you all for so much love on this story!!! i'm sorry for such a stagger between chapters, but i'm working on a few things to make my writing better :)

After a drunken game of Truth or Dare with the team, you reveal your feelings towards your colleague Spencer Reid. The thing is, he is terrified of falling in love. Will you be able to keep your "friends with benefits" dynamic? Or will you allow yourselves to get lost in each other? *SMUT* "Nothing felt more right than this moment, you and Spencer were built for each other and you didn't even know it, like puzzle pieces manufactured in different factories." - sparklyyslut highest rankings: #1 - criminalminds #1 - matthewgraygubler #1 - spencer #1 - drspencerreid #1 - reid #1 - drreid #1 - coworkers #1 - kink

"I've never felt so vulnerable before and I'm just afraid that I'll lose the people I care about." "You've never told me that before," he whispered. "That's because I didn't have you before." Andy Delvaux has always tried to forget her past, but her past has never forgotten her...

he told me he loved me, for 2 years I believed him. the bruises covered with dark sunglasses, and the make up covering the cuts. I can't handle it. I can't hide them anymore, The next day, always like every other day. The flowers to make up for the bruises I would have to hide at work, again. im sick of this. I wake up two extra hours early to try and make them less noticeable. But i have run out of concealer and color corrector. I guess ill have to wear sunglasses then. I look down at my wrists and see the red and bruising around them. Long sleeves will have to work today.
