Summary
He took a shaky breath. Just looking at the vials reminded him of that shed. The smell of fish guts, burning wood and dirt. It was enough to make him throw up. But he knew once he did it, he wouldn't remember any of that. He wouldn't feel a thing but an all-encompassing sensation like he was wrapped in a warm, heavy blanket. He needed that feeling. He imagined that was how well-adjusted children felt, when their mentally stable parents tucked them tightly into bed.
He just didn't want to be afraid anymore.
OR
Dilaudid is Spencer's only solace, the only peace from the memories of the horrors he went through in that shed. However, his habit is getting increasingly harder to hide from the rest of the team, and one person in particular: Derek Morgan. When Spencer misses a plane for a new case, Morgan covers for him with the team instantly. But he won't let Spencer's dirty little secret go. He's determined to help—and to discover what Spencer has been hiding since the day they rescued him.

Summary
Once, as a kid, his mother had told him about tragic geniuses. The great writers and all their neuroses and miseries, all the brilliant thinkers who drank themselves to death or cut their own lives short to avoid bearing the weight of their minds. He always knew the statistics - the predisposition of those with high IQs to drug addiction, the increased rates of mental illnesses in Mensa members, the loneliness associated with higher intelligence.
His brain had always been his greatest weapon, especially when he turned it on himself. An obsessive mind is an addictive one, and Spencer Reid was nothing if not obsessed.

Summary
“The first night back in my apartment, I spent two hours in the shower just scrubbing the dirt and blood from underneath my fingernails,” she started.
“By the end of it, my fingers started bleeding, and I couldn’t tell if it was my blood or dogs’ blood. Or yours.” she stared at him apologetically, her tone broken with shame. Her eyes bore into him, taking in every detail of his willowy frame, as if it were the first — or last — time she saw him.
“You really scared us there, Spence,” she choked. “You scared me.”OR
Nobody's asked JJ how she's been after Hankel.

Summary
"NO!" Spencer shouts, his voice cracking as he cuts Derek off, "Derek, you—you need to leave, you need to—to go, I can't—" His mouth waters as his senses pick back up on the tantalizing smell of blood, and he whimpers, "I can't— I won't hurt you, just—just go, just go before I—"
Derek pushes forward, presses down on Spencer side again, his hand stained crimson. "Spencer, what!? No, I'm not—I'm not leaving you to bleed out, what the hell are you talking about?"
"Derek, please—" Spencer begs, but his pleas fall on deaf ears.
He can't do this. His restraint is splintering, cracking down the middle, and he could see it, see the cut on Derek's neck, see the crimson blood slowly trickling down his skin, and he needs it, he needs it so badly—
or: Spencer has had many secrets. This is his most terrifying one.

Summary
Spencer walked into work that day, earlier than he usually would. He isn’t one for walking into work as early as Hotch did, based off of the fact Hotch was just setting down his suitcase, but he hadn’t been sleeping well lately, so he just decided to come in earlier to try and get some more work done faster.
They had a new case in Springfield, Missouri though. It was sure to be an interesting one.

Summary
“My name is Spencer Reid. I’m twenty-five years old. Derek Morgan called me pretty boy. And I loved my mom.”
No one is around to hear it, but maybe the night sky will take it, scatter it into the stars, and shine it back down in a few decades’ time.

Summary
The aftermath of Revelations
Spencer is struggling after Tobias, his coping methods are....subpar.
He felt exposed, raw, vulnerable - everyone gave him these knowing looks when his hands shook too much to continue geographical profiles, or when he stood up and had to pause for a moment to catch himself on the table.
They looked at him confused, however, when he left the bathroom stalls looking calmer, more collected (more unaware and much, much, much higher).Or: Spencer isn't coping after being back at work - to try to avoid slipping further into drug addiction he swaps it for another.

Summary
When the words 'victim' and 'profiler' can describe the same person, what is left of who you once were within the worst paradox the BAU has ever known?
In the wake of surviving Hankel, Dr. Spencer Reid is prescribed Vyvanse and Klonopin to manage the chaos of newly diagnosed mental health conditions. The doctors weren’t wrong—but neither was he for leaning on the pills a little harder than most would understand. Vyvanse sharpens him into the most efficient profiler the BAU has ever seen. Klonopin blunts the jagged edges of trauma, keeping flashbacks just out of reach. Spencer isn’t abusing his meds—he’s surviving. Using intellect as armor against a past too brutal to face—a past explicitly detailed in a case file with his name on it, barely buried beneath the stack of the other usual case files that littered his desk, hidden in plain sight like everything else in his life these past few months.This story takes place in early 2007 and serves as a rewritten and reimagined aftermath of the events depicted in the mid-season two episodes "The Big Game" and "Revelations".

Summary
“Now, principal Strauss has been on my ass, so I’ll be *assigning* partners,” Rossi stated as he sat down at his desk. Derek groaned, and Penelope pouted as they’d usually work together. “Kevin Lynch, you’re with Penelope Garcia, Emily Prentiss, you're with Tara Lewis, Spencer Reid, you're with Derek Morgan—.”
*You’ve got to be shitting me.*
“Sir, if I may, I’d like a different partner—.” Derek raised his hand and started. Rossi had a sign and immediately raised his hand to stop him.
“And I’d like to be in *Cabo*. No exceptions, Morgan.” Rossi said as he continued giving the list. Derek turned to look at Spencer, who had his head down. A hand in his hair as he sighed.
*Maybe* he was an ass, but he would rather be partnered with *Foyet* than Spencer. At least Foyet was on his team, and Derek was captain.
