Maeve鈥檚 storyline but right!
I have always though the Maeve plot line didn鈥檛 made sense and recently I read a fic (spencer reid x reader) where reader was a serial killer of serial rword and I thought how much better that could鈥檝e been.
Maeve鈥檚 plot line was weak in many ways. My biggest pet peeve is that it was that aggressive from the start and Spencer did nothing, which I don鈥檛 find in character. That meaning her stalker (Diane).
Let鈥檚 assume his first consult with Maeve was pretty normal, how could he imagine she had a stalker? But in order to keep talking to her they went through using letters first. And maybe Spencer thought it was romantic and interesting, but pseudonyms? That鈥檚 a bit much.
Spencer knew all along about her stalker, he tells Hotch that much after she goes missing. So you are telling me Spencer found out this girl he likes isn鈥檛 leaving her house, she is hot using her phone and is using letters to communicate with pseudonyms to protect herself and didn鈥檛 do something? I agree he might鈥檝e been respecting her wishes, but by this time Spencer has been working with the FBI 9 years, he is not naive as he was, he is a social protector, it just doesn鈥檛 makes sense he let it go that far.
Again, from the beginning is crucial here because I don鈥檛 think he would鈥檝e let it slide just like that. If it had grown progressively while they were together, yes maybe their attachment would鈥檝e clouded his reasoning, but by the time they started talking Diane had made Maeve quit her job and broke up with her fianc茅 so??? It just doesn鈥檛 make sense for HIS character. I believe that at leasttt he would鈥檝e investigated by himself.
But non of that happened so the plot just doesn鈥檛 cut it. Instead, if it would鈥檝e been a serial killer? That鈥檚 interesting.
Point 1. A serial killer who kills men that are serial rapist is in many ways human. It鈥檚 imposible to not like as audience. And Spencer is often the one who empathizes with the criminals (lol beautiful baby 馃ズ).
Point 2. Her story could鈥檝e been a great episode, we could鈥檝e seen how smart she was (something from Meave鈥檚 character) but at the same time how traumatized she was, her story, how evil are the men she kills. She could鈥檝e been the same age as Spence, he could鈥檝e done the interview, connect, blah, blah, blah.
Point 3. I think they could鈥檝e find a way were they didn鈥檛 have anything to really hold the case, victims (of the men) not pressing charges and friends who offer alibis for her. So she makes a deal with Spencer because she is also tired and she knows she cannot stop. A letter once a month because she likes his big brain.
Point 4. She is arrested but gets her letter and Spencer gets his, where she is smart and interesting and whatever. Out of nowhere they are writing themselves not just once a month. And they talk every sunday. (Again part of Maeve storyline, everything was there!!!!) (Also I think she could鈥檝e been an assistant for a geneticist and help him with his migraines)
Point 5. And everything is good and they form a bond but Spencer would never admit he likes her and maybe even feels something more, because he is a good guy. But in this time he starts to read every philosopher that has written about good and bad (also talk it with Blake!! best part of the Maeve plot).
Point 6. After this we are only missing her dying and I wish I remember the name of the fic but something similar could happen. In the fic she scapes prison with help and goes to find Spencer because she knows of a human trafficking organization and she wants to liberate them, so she kinda kidnaps Spencer and they go there. Because she wanted to do it, deep down Spencer knows this a suicidal mission for her.
Point 7. They get there, she gets kill by local police but she saves women and children and got to spend her last day or two with Spencer, the only person that made her wished everything she did never happened and maybe she could鈥檝e have a great life.
And ta-da! we traumatized Spencer with an interesting plot that makes sense (at least for me). And far more complex I think, something that maybe even MGG would鈥檝e like. But who knows, is this against copaganda???

sally jackson is literally the only person ever. she's so amazing. she's perfect. she's so kind it makes people cry. she listens to nirvana. she's beautiful. she fought a bull. she can cook. she's everyone's mother. she's a writer. she sings sad songs and applies them to her life and cries. she killed her abusive ex husband and sold him to get money for an apartment. she used to work at a candy store and bring percy samples of his favourite flavours. she shot a monster with a police gun in the middle of a war. she started making food blue because she's petty and she knew it would piss gabe off. she's an icon. she's the moment. no. 1 milf. no one's doing it like her.
