Knockin' On Heaven's Door
Two months after surviving Tobias Hankel, Dr. Spencer Reid struggles to forget every detail of his documented trauma and has a gut instinct that leads him to believe he's forgetting undocumented trauma as well. Having undergone a mandatory psychiatric evaluation in order to return to work immediately after being rescued, Spencer is diagnosed with a slew of mental health conditions, as well as a late diagnosis of ASD and ADHD. He's trying to adjust to his new ADHD and anxiety medications that allow him to seemingly function better than ever before. Sure, the meds make it easier for him to throw himself right back into his work despite the trauma and the anxiety meds are messing with his ability to remember key elements of his trauma at all... but is that such a bad thing? He's the best he's ever been. He's found the perfect balance in pill bottles. His concept of time and reality may falter, his ability to eat or sleep is nonexistent these days, but that's just a side effect that he can live with if it's what allows him to feel like a profiler rather than a helpless victim. The doctors had reassured him that he would adjust eventually and that although he was being prescribed narcotics, there was little to no recreational or abuse potential. That dependency and addiction weren't something he needed to worry about. Nothing worse than temporary side effects. He did, however, think it odd that he enjoyed what he presumed to be the most intense and notable side effects. He was fine. Everything was fine.

Uncharted Profiles 18+
When Y/N steps into the BAU as the newest recruit, she expects long nights, tough cases, and the pressure of proving herself. What she doesn't expect is Dr. Spencer Reid-the team's resident genius with a razor-sharp memory and an even sharper tongue. From day one, Spencer makes it clear he doesn't think she belongs. He's snarky, dismissive, and far too good at pointing out her mistakes. To him, she's an unwelcome distraction in a world where there's no room for error. To her, he's insufferable and brilliant, yes, but also infuriating. But as the cases grow darker and the danger more real, Y/N and Spencer are forced to rely on each other. Between late-night stakeouts, heated arguments, and the quiet moments that slip through the cracks, the line between rivalry and something far more complicated begins to blur. He's the last person she thought she'd fall for. She's the one person he never saw coming. And sometimes, the hardest mystery to solve is the one written in your own heart.Complete

Checkmate {Spencer Reid}
I promise my writing gets better as the chapters go on, much love-S The BAU gets a new team member as everyone is introduced to Fiona Summers, and Spencer automatically falls for her. Not wanting to get hurt again he shuts her out, but warms up to her when he finds out they may not be too different after all. But things quickly take a turn as he discovers they definitely have one thing in common. An addiction. "It's quiet for a couple minutes as Spencer tries to find his way to the bed in the dark. He eventually comes under the covers and I can see his side profile as the room is slightly lit up from the moonlight coming through the windows. He's beautiful. But he's a real dick. I decided to turn away from him on my side. It's quiet and the air is filled with tension, I hate this. I want to be friends with him, not mortal enemies. I take a deep breathe and put myself out there. "Why are you being like this Spencer?" My voice is so quiet I don't even know if he heard me, it's quiet for a couple minutes and I give up, deciding to try to go to sleep. "I don't know." His voice cuts through the air, "I don't know why I'm being like this Fiona. I usually have all the answers, but when it comes to you, I'm an idiot."Complete

Quiet as a Mouse || Abused Spencer Reid
Spencer Reid was fine. It didn't matter that his coworkers were starting to notice things about him., things he's been trying to hide in plain sight for years. And yeah, perhaps his boyfriend (who they hadn't even known about) gets a bit angry sometimes, but that's only natural if you have to deal with someone like him for a long period of time. And he's the first person who's stuck around. So Spencer is fine. Absolutely, unconditionally fine. Only the stray bruises, staring into space and flinching at every unpredictable movement or sound are there to say otherwise. Warnings: graphic physical / psychological abuse in most chapters, non-graphic sexual abuse, slight gun violence in chapter 7 related to a case, PTSD symptoms and flashbacks, graphic depictions of injuries, an alphabet of manipulation tactics and the such, implied / referenced minor eating disorder (he doesn't have the best eating habits), plus negative self-talk from our poor Pretty Boy. This ended up being a lot more psychologically disturbing than I imagined, so please please proceed with caution. If you're not in the right headspace right now, be careful if you still choose to read this. Fun fact, I was listening to the full album of Everywhere at the End of Time for the most part while writing this. That might have contributed to the style lol BOOK TWO OUT ON JUNE 18!!! If you enjoyed this, please consider reading that, too :)Complete
