["The second his lips touched yours, the roar of bad memories and gruesome crime scenes that always filled the silence in your mind dulled down to a whisper. The darkness of the world faded into an afterthought, barely a blip in the back of your mind. The demons stopped clawing at your throat and settled down to hibernate for the night. For the first time in years, you felt like you could breathe. No amount of booze in the world could have compared to that feeling. You had found a new distraction, a new way to forget, and he was highly addictive."] * Following a particularly grueling case and an unexpected night together, the reader and Spencer Reid become friends-with-benefits: no expectations, no strings attached, nothing more than just using each other for sex. But as the reader and Spencer grow closer despite their best efforts, ghosts from the reader's past begin overtaking her present, threatening the delicate thing between them. And though their arrangement is just meant to distract them both from the horrors of their day-to-day lives, the reader comes to find that some horrors just refuse to be ignored. Some ghosts just refuse to stay dead. _ Beautiful cover by Cynthia (or clarade on ao3)!!

They're party attendees, marijuana smokers, teenagers who were sure to make the best out of High School.

She wants to, but with the mixture of school and family issues, she questions it all. The trip to figuring her life out before College starts the day she steps into school. - boyband Spencer Reid Spencer Reid x fem reader started: 2/10/2021 finished: 4/18/2021

It's Y/N's first day at the BAU. She's extremely nervous and excited as one would be starting the best job possible. She cannot wait to meet the amazing team Agent Hotchner has described to her. Everyone fits his description so well, the witty, lovely Garcia. The old, pasta papi Rossi. The Superman of the world Morgan. The funny, creative Prentiss. And the sly, caring JJ. Everyone seems so wonderful and welcoming. Well, everyone except this asshole in the corner. In which the Reader and Reid have a rough start due to her past, the anger soon turns into something more. Conversations that were had, but left unsaid. I promise the story is better than the shitty description- 😪🤚🏼

"You teach the arts, I teach physics." "What, like it's hard?" ________________________ In which Y/N is an arts professor who can't stand know-it-all Dr. Reid. >COMPLETED 07/04/2020

You believe in fate. The universe is in control of everything; it's all pre-destined. Actually, you've spent all of the time getting your doctorate writing about it. And it proves to be true when you run into Spencer Reid at a coffee shop one day. [based loosely on season 13 spencer reid ] cover by: @amygraymikae
