"Lately I been, I been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
Baby I been, I been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars"
- Counting Stars by OneRepublic

Spencer has spent all his life wandering. His team teases him for never having a date. They always slip extra paperwork in his pile because they know he doesn't do much outside of work. 

One day after a case Spencer runs into a girl in a bookshop. At first he was confused as to why she didn't speak. Then it became clear, she was selectively mute. He suddenly finds himself drawn to helping her. For once he feels normal.

A SPENCER REID LOVE STORY Spencer's POV: "There's something I have tell you all." Hotch wore an apprehensive look, but silenced, giving me the floor. "I've been...I've been seeing Vanessa Quinn..." The exchange of looks passed around the room ignited embarrassment. "We've been." I stop, taking a breath. "We met at a bookstore. We were suppose to go for dinner a few days ago, when we got back from Dallas. But she never called me back. I thought, maybe, she just changed her mind...but her phone goes straight to voicemail, and today, she's on the screen..." I look at her photo, hovering on the tv behind my team, feeling the distance between us. "I need your help to get her back."

["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)!!
