You've always considered yourself just your average woman. Sure, tragedy has struck you like it does to everyone eventually. But you've been making the best of it.

You first met Dr. Spencer Reid at Bennington Sanitarium when he came to visit his mother, Diana Reid, who happens to be your favorite patient. As the head nurse, you probably shouldn't have favorites, but hey, you're only human.

After a long and traumatic series of events, you find yourself falling fast in love with the enigma that is Spencer Reid. 
Your relationship isn't all sunshine and rainbows. But one thing is certain, you've both decided to spend the rest of your lives with one another, no matter how short or long they may be.

With no responsibilities, there is so much life to explore together. From parties to substances, you both are ready to become new versions of yourself. How far can you both ride this crazy wave though? How far can you go until there's no way to swim back to shore?

Loud music roared through the speakers and a sparkling string of lights twinkled on the ceiling. As you turned to your right to look for JJ, you locked eyes with Reid. His hazel eyes stared longingly into yours from across the room. You quickly dropped your gaze to the floor, avoiding any type of smile or greeting. You could feel the heat of a blush rush into your cheeks. Shit. When you looked back up at Reid, trying to catch his gaze once more, you watched him furrow his brows and turn around with a confused expression painted across his face. You felt bad and wanted to follow after him, but your racing thoughts paralyzed you. You couldn't catch feelings. You couldn't risk it. You couldn't lose another person close to you, not after what had already happened the past year." "The comets Have such a space to cross, Such coldness, forgetfulness. So your gestures flake off -- Warm and human, then their pink light Bleeding and peeling Through the black amnesias of heaven." -Sylvia Plath Running from a grim and heavy past, both the reader and Spencer travel through the present towards a longing future of love, safety, and healing. The reader and Spencer learn to appreciate both the dark and the light that comes with being human as they develop feelings for each other and try to make a relationship work.

There are moments in life that you work so hard for, things your younger self couldn't even imagine you doing... and when those moments arrive, what do you do with them? After joining the Victim Services Branch of the FBI in Quantico, it's been a dream to interact with the BAU and assist a case of theirs. Your lifestyle of late nights and overworking yourself keep you single despite this loneliness you refuse to acknowledge. But when you're constantly reminded of how quickly life can shatter around your feet, leaving you bare and bleeding as you try to put the pieces back together as neatly as you can... only for life to never be the same again, you start to feel it a little more. When the call finally comes, your work pulls you into a case the BAU is tackling, and while it caught you a little off guard, you walk away from the case with something more. Spencer has never shown vulnerability until you came around, and then things changed. From innocent comments to passionate nights, your world shifts as your two souls collide into one. *Disclaimer/Trigger Warning: this story is a work of fiction building off of information gathered from the series Criminal Minds and my own experiences within social service work. This story will contain mature topics such as addiction, mental health, suicide (past tense), trauma, detailed intimacy (idk if I'm qualified to deem this smut, so you be the judge), intercourse, and other topics readers may feel uncomfortable with.
