Jumping at the rare opportunity, you leave Maryland and move to Washington DC, where you meet Dr. Spencer Reid, a peer resident whose apartment is just below yours. As you settle in, your lives seem to coincidently intertwine. Will you ever finally open up to Spencer about what really brought you to DC? Or will your haunting past return to do the talking for you? {spencer x reader insert} - Based on season 7/8 - ------------------------- Author's note: Hi :) this is my first ever fanfic!
