The Nights We Stay Awake (TemperancexReader)

"My favourite place in the world? My favourite question... it's right next to you."

No one has ever really understood how their friendship came to be, but Y/n and Temperance have always spent every free moment together. Even when Y/n is away on cases, they stay connected through phone calls and texts. Despite Temperance's usual aversion to texting and phone conversations, she always responds.

Their bond is a mystery, even to them, but the love and friendship they share surpasses any fairy tale. In a world filled with cruelty and chaos, they find solace lying under star-filled skies, even if it means a more expensive coffee in the morning.

NOTE: I only own the characters I've created myself; the rest are owned by FOX and CBS. Some backstories have been altered to fit the narrative, so please bear with it.

TW: If you're familiar with "Bones" and "Criminal Minds," you know the kind of content to expect. This story includes both angst (a lot of it) and fluff, along with the highs and lows of their journey.
