Reading fanfiction on ao3 is like being addicted to drugs.

The first time you read one you experience this immense amount of euphoria and satisfaction (because of a well-done story or your ship having a solid dynamic etc.)

The high lasts for quite some time until you want way more of that special feeling so you read more and more until eventually nothing can satisfy you anymore.

But instead of trying to quit, we embrace the madness and let it take us wherever it wants.

And I think that's beautiful.

(read under the line for a word of caution)

It came to my attention that this may be trivializing the pain that actual drug addicts go through. That was not the purpose guys. Those are obviously not the same and I apologize if it seemed like that was my intention. It wasn't.

Stay safe.

they're so real bc if i had daddy issues and my handsome older boss walked around looking like THAT, i'd be staring too

Now I feel good :)

How I love him in that red coat.

[irenehrisrio]

Ten things that make Spencer Reid 'Feel Good'

10. Having authentic Culurgionis d'Ogliastra (a kind of Sardinian dumplings always wanted to take a try since 10) in Rossi's kitchen on the 20th anniversary of BAU.

9. Convincing Emily that Star Wars is different from Star Trek and the latter one has a narrow edge over the former one while dancing with her.

8. Receiving walnut crispy cookies from Morgan's mother signed with 'For Derek's little brother' and Garcia's is 'For Derek's little sister'.

7. Not being laughed at when addressing a little speech as the bestman at JJ's wedding.

6. Being stopped by his unit chief once getting off the jet after a case was over, who pat his shoulder and said: 'You did a good job.'

5. Answering 'Of course I do' in 2.3 seconds after Gideon asked him whether he was willing to join the BAU team, at which time he was 22 yrs old.

4. Noticing that his boss smiled secretly when he told a stupid joke before the weekly meeting started and nobody else at the table got it.

3. When Henry was one year three months and eleven days old, his first word besides 'mommy' emerged as 'Spence'.

2. Coming back from hospital on his 25 yrs old birthday, estimating the possibility of his hereditary schizophrenia showing up decreases to 0.93%, after which he got home and found out a piece of Gibran's poem hand written by mom in the birthday card she sent.

1.Everyone was drunk in Rossi's house on the BAU 20th anniversary. Reid hid behind a potted plant to pretend he is a cactus. Hotch's face approached. His boss kissed him and took out a ring in peals of applause. He bit his boss after saying 'I'm normally harmless but the thorns may cause infections with alkaloid' and fell into Hotch's arms. The funny proposal was ended with the young being plastered. This year Doctor Genius was 30 years old, he has a beloved job and a loving family, accomplishing a goal called 'fulfill' established long long time ago.

When reid started rambling to Hotch in s7e7 and ge just goes, "I'm rambling, aren't I?" And hotch just goes "yes"

It's so soft and sweet. Hotch is so much nicer about it. He would have listened to whatever Reid had to say..

It just makes me happy.
