Far from where we live / I have not learned to forgive

Pairing: Spencer Reid x fem reader Category: angst / multi-chapter / case / second chance Word count: 2,1k CW: language, canon typical violence pt 1

“I was remediated in the academy also... what was my issue? Marksmanship, physical training, obstacle course, Hogan's Alley, you know, pretty much everything that wasn't technically book related. They ultimately had to make exceptions to allow me into the field.”

Called to Texas on a case, Spencer is confronted with a ghost.

Present, Austin, TX

As soon as Spencer Reid steps off the jet at Austin-Bergstrom, he is hit with an overwhelming sense of foreboding.

Maybe it’s the oppressive July heat. Maybe it’s the fact that he’s never liked Texas. Maybe it’s the grisly nature of the case Penelope has just briefed the team on, during the flight.

Maybe it’s intuition, but of course, intuition is just your brain picking up on subtle signs without consciously processing them. He wonders what signs he’s receiving right now.

Derek elbows him, indicating the simmering tarmac with his chin. “Reid, keep it moving, buddy. Cars are waiting to take us downtown.”

* * *

The APD headquarters on 8th street are a brutalist eyesore, but Spencer’s relieved all the same to walk into the airconditioned lobby.

Detective Nguyen, a strikingly handsome man with a permanent worry line etched between his brows, hands him a security pass. “This’ll get you through the gates down here, and into the Homicide offices up on the sixth floor.” He pushes the button for the elevator, now addressing Hotch: “I’m so glad you and your team could come. We’ve honestly never seen anything like this.”

Spencer catches a glimpse of himself in the elevator mirror, crowded behind JJ, Emily, and a couple of uniformed officers. He looks tired, the skin under his eyes faintly purple. He runs a hand over his face.

The elevator pings for the sixth floor, and Hotch and Nguyen take the lead heading right, down a hallway with coffee-stained carpet and fading official portraits of APD detectives long gone. Nguyen motions them into a conference room set up with already-overcrowded whiteboards, stacks of paper littering the dinged-up tables at the center of the room.

On the far side of the space, wall-to-ceiling windows afford a view of a busy elevated highway and a Shell station, baking in the heat. In front of these stands a woman, pinning crime scene photos to the divider between the windows, clearly having run out of other available space.

“Everyone,” Detective Nguyen says, as the woman turns around, “This is Detective Valdez, my partner and co-lead on the case.”

The woman turns around, and Spencer feels like he takes a punch to the gut before even fully processing what he’s seeing.

You.

He sees you realize, at the same exact moment he does. You falter midway through extending your hand to Hotch, then visibly pull yourself together.

“Agent Hotchner. Jim and I are so grateful you and your team could make it.” Letting go of Hotch’s hand, you gesture around the room. “If you want to make yourselves comfortable, I can answer any questions you may have left over from the briefing.”

Spencer feels lightheaded. He feels – furious. Ten years, and you want to move right into the Q&A?

Irrationally, he thinks he should’ve stayed on the jet like his gut was telling him to. Irrationally, the first thing he says to you, after ten years, is: “Your name’s not Valdez.”

* * *

You are working what may be the most high-profile case of your career when Spencer fucking Reid comes in and shifts reality into a different fucking dimension.

But you are a professional. You are an APD homicide detective with 8 years seniority and an eighty-one per cent clearance rate and hard-earned thick fucking skin. So you allow yourself to miss one single beat before shaking his boss’s hand and getting back to business.

“Your name’s not Valdez.”

You are very, very careful to keep your face neutral even as it feels like the bottom has dropped out of your stomach.

You face Spencer, head-on, like you always face things: “It’s my married name.”

Watch as his jaw twitches, almost imperceptibly, but not to you.

One of his teammates, a good-looking man with a glint in his eye, quirks his eyebrow. “You two know each other?”

With a sinking feeling, you answer: “We were at the Academy together. Briefly.”

As his teammates find their way to chairs in various states of disrepair, you hear Spencer add: “Very briefly. She never graduated.”

The venom in his voice is evident, and you steel yourself.

* * *

You hadn’t known.

Had studiously avoided keeping up with Spencer’s career. Figured he’d either rise up fast through the ranks of the Bureau, or end up with a Fox Mulder-style basement office, chasing specters and cults and aliens. You were sure he’d be spectacular at either, but you hadn’t wanted to know.

It would’ve been too painful, when you first came back to Texas with your tail between your legs, having to ask for your job back with the Border Patrol, the job you’d come to despise. Too painful to keep tabs on Spencer, as he was living your dreams of working for the FBI.

Too painful not to block it all out, yet you could still feel his thumb brushing your cheekbone, his hand in your wet hair, his lips on yours with disturbing accuracy.

You take a deep breath, down the dregs of your terrible coffee despite the late hour, and rub your browbone with the heel of your palm. The sixth-floor breakroom is covered in out-of-date flyers and still smells vaguely of the gallon jar of pickle juice Castillo dropped in here two weeks ago, but at the moment it’s your haven.

Then, as if sensing you taking two minutes to collect your thoughts for the first time since early afternoon, Spencer walks in.

* * *

“Detective Valdez.”

It is hard for him to say. He can’t wrap his mind around it, and though he’s carefully avoided thinking of you for the better part of the last decade, it still seems wrong for you to be different than when he knew you.

He watches you move your hand from your brow, the fine band of white gold on your ring finger making something in his stomach twist, before you sigh: “Doctor Reid.”

Away from the questioning eyes of his teammates, he allows himself to linger on you for more than a few seconds. You look older, harder, your face thinner. Something sad has settled in your eyes that wasn’t there ten years ago.

He thinks of his own scars, needle marks, Maeve, and wonders what it was for you.

“Doctor Reid,” you say again, and that feels wrong too. It’s a knife to the gut, thinking of the way you used to call him kid and then just Reid or Spence and then, on a few memorable occasions he has committed to a far and buried corner of his heart, sweetheart.

“We have to,” you continue, and somehow he’s surprised you are still speaking, your eyes closed now: “We have to put whatever happened in the past behind us. I know you might still be pissed at me, and you have every right to be, but know that I tried to make amends many times when you wouldn’t take my calls.”

You open your eyes to fix him with a stare, and Spencer swallows. “This case is everything to me, and I can’t see another girl killed, and so whatever happened in the past needs to stay there, okay?”

And in spite of everything, Spencer could never say no to you, so he nods dumbly and says: “Okay, Detective Valdez.”

* * * * * 10 years ago, MCB Quantico, VA

Spencer Reid will get through this just fine.

Or at least that’s what he has to keep repeating to himself, against the tightening feeling in his chest.

“Kid!” Supervisory Agent Lemoore yells into his megaphone, across the expanse of wet grass. “You’re not done. Give me ten more.”

Spencer groans and drops to the ground, his arms struggling to cooperate. By the time he’s finally finishing his push-ups, he feels sick.

Not for the first time this week, he wonders what the hell possessed him to apply to the Academy. He could’ve been in pre-med right now. He could’ve had his pick of scholarships, of placements. He could’ve been back in Vegas, betting the house. Anywhere but here.

Lemoore’s voice booms over the field again: “Alright. To finish for today, you’re going to do a shakeout run along the trail through the woods. It’s three miles. I expect you all to report to the mess hall at 6 PM sharp.”

He brings down the megaphone, but his voice can still be heard by half of Spencer’s class as he orders: “Dallas, stick with the kid. He looks like he’s about to keel over.”

Staring at the ground, Spencer’s face burns. He feels like he’s back in high school, being humiliated by kids older and stronger than him. I should never have come here.

Then you nudge his arm, and he looks up, and immediately forgets all about it.

* * *

“Reid, right? Come on.” You nudge him again, slightly worried that Lemoore was right and that this guy is about to be sick all over his brand-new sneakers.

Finally, he shakes his head, seemingly trying to focus. “Yes. Sorry, let’s go.”

You fall into a jog, heading towards the edge of the woods, where most of your cohort has already disappeared. Keeping your pace slow, you wait for your new classmate to fall into step with you.

There are almost a hundred and twenty recruits in your class, ranging from fresh college grads to people in their mid-thirties, veterans, ex-police, civilians. Your roommate’s a 34-year-old former in-house lawyer for Delta who decided six months ago that she was tired of negotiating aircraft financing contracts.

You think this kid’s probably the youngest amongst all of you. He looks like he should be in high school.

He’s breathing heavily, so you slow down a little more, rounding the first bend in the trail. “Hey, Reid. How old are you?”

“I’m 21,” he gasps, with a defensive undertone. His voice is a little squeaky, and you find it endearing.

“Relax.” You grin over your shoulder at him. “I don’t mean anything by it. Just curious. I’m 23.”

He colors a little, at that. “Sorry. I’m just not sure how I feel about getting stuck with that kid nickname for the next twenty weeks.”

“Lemoore just doesn’t want to admit he can’t remember anyone’s name.” You smile at him, as he seems to be rallying a little bit, getting into the rhythm of the run. “I mean, I got stuck with Dallas, and I’m not even from there. I’m from San Marcos. They’re like, a full three hours apart.”

He looks surprised, then laughs, and it looks good on him. “Shit, sorry, I just assumed that was really your name. What is it?”

You tell him, and then speed up the pace a little bit, challenging him to keep up with a laugh.

* * *

At 6 PM sharp, as instructed, Spencer is in the mess hall. As he steps into the dining room with his tray, a slight panic overtakes him, because this too feels reminiscent of high school: not having anyone to sit with.

The first two nights he’d sat with Ethan. But then, this morning, Ethan hadn’t shown up to their introductory class on investigative techniques. He’d had to call him during a ten-minute break only to learn that Ethan had decided to drop out.

“I’m sorry, man.” Ethan had sighed down the line, sounding like he’d rather have hung up. “It’s just not for me. I made a big mistake even coming down here. I’m gonna try to get my place at UCB back.”

Just like that. Leaving Spencer here in Quantico alone. In over his head.

He’s just realizing he’s been standing rooted to the spot too long, with his tray, and that he’s going to look weird, when he hears his name called: “Reid! Over here!”

And there you are, waving him over to a busy table at the far end of the room.

He walks over and sits down, trying to suppress a relieved smile: “Dallas.”

You grin back. “Kid.”

A burly guy next to you looks up, a forkful of mashed potatoes halfway to his mouth, and frowns: “What is this, a spaghetti western?”

You shove him lightly, then gesture across the table. “Booster, this is Reid. Reid, Booster.” You grin over at the man, who looms at least a full head above anyone else at the table. “Well, really his name’s Kozlowski, but you can’t expect Lemoore to remember that.”

Indicating the woman next to Spencer, you continue: “And this is Singh, my dorm neighbor. He remembers her name, because it’s short, but also because I suspect he’s slightly scared of her.”

The woman turns to Spencer and gives him a smile and a little wave with her fork. “You can just call me Savi.”

“Oh my God, kid,” you say, and your eyes are so warm, your smile so bright, he almost has to look away. “Tell her what you told me earlier about the unsolved cruise ship disappearances.”

And just like that, something starts to uncoil in Spencer’s stomach, and he feels like things might be okay.

my move has been so stressful that I must rant.

I mean please read if y’all have some advice

I highlighted all my issues.

To preface this, I moved bc I got a job in my dream city. But rent is so expensive there, I got an apartment in a city near it.

I chose an older apartment complex bc the apartment itself was really nice but the outside is old af. And it’s near a lot of areas

I also chose it bc the leasing agent was Filipino and clicked with me and my folks (bc we’re Filipino duh) & even waived fees for us. He’s important to this story

Mind you i apartment hunted in March because it was spring break and the only time we could fly out.

Most complexes actually turned us away bc I planned to move in July so it’s a liability for them to promise me an apartment and have it be vacant for months (aka not making money)

From March all the way to end of June, I was in contact with this Filipino leasing agent. He made several promises to me and my parents: apartment will be renovated to have wooden floors, it has a microwave installed, it’s near the exit (bc i have a dog).

I called 2 days before I left TX (June 26 AND 27) to ensure that the apartment was ready

Filipino man swore up and down everything was ready to be moved in.

My family and I drove from TX to location (appx. 22 hr drive) with a reactive dog. We traveled for 3 days.

Only to find out Filipino man does not work there any more.

Filipino man did not finish my move in paperwork despite promising me a move in date AND me signing all kinds of paperwork and sending deposits etc.

On top of that, the apartment he swore was mine and was signed to me wasnt even ready to be moved in to.

His replacement had been working there for 3 days and didn’t know shit on what to do. She tried to turn us away but my parents stood up for me while I had a mental breakdown (bc I was arguing with her for 1 hour)

They eventually got the apartment “move-in-able”

Guys. This place is literally falling apart.

I’ve lived here 2 days (moved in July 1st), the shower doesn’t work, the dryer isn’t working, the lightbulb in bedroom is dead, the bathtub/shower is clogged.

To add onto Filipino man’s web of lies, nothing he promised was fulfilled. This place is carpeted, there’s no microwave. It is at the end of a long & dark hallway. I have to pass through 10 apartments plus the lobby to get outside.

On top of that, the aforementioned reactive dog is struggling with the move. Since the family spent 3 days on the road right by each other’s sides sleeping in motels together, etc.

he’s developed really bad separation anxiety to the point that we can’t leave him by himself because he will cry and bark and whine (which he never did before since he was kennel trained). And I’m afraid that they’ll kick us out 😭

Y’all I am so stressed beyond belief. But I’ve signed a lease now and I’ve paid HELLA MONEY to be here now.

I am stuck and depressed all over again.

#literally any advice would be so helpful #idek what kind of advice you could give but literally a you got this will help #probably not bc it feels like my life is crumbling around me #at least my furniture’s nice :(

Fort Worth bishop urges members not to worship with Arlington nuns

Discalced Carmelite Nuns of Arlington

5801 Mt. Carmel Dr, Arlington, TX 7601

Note: Our daily Mass time is 7:30 a.m.

The head of Fort Worth’s Catholic church again urged members not to worship with a group of secluded Arlington nuns at the center of a bitter feud with the diocese.

In a statement published Sept. 24, Bishop Michael Olson wrote that fellow Catholics should not participate in sacraments such as Mass or provide financial support to the monastery.

Olson said members should only pray for the “restoration of order” at the monastery and for the nuns to return to “sober obedience.”

This is the bishop’s second such plea in the past week.

“Mindful of the salvation of souls, as your bishop I must plead with you, the faithful of the Diocese of Fort Worth that for the good of your souls you do not participate in any sacraments that may be offered at the Monastery as such participation will associate you with the scandalous disobedience and disunity of the members of the Arlington Carmel,” Olson wrote.

Earlier this month, the Arlington nuns reopened the monastery to the public for private prayer and daily Mass in Latin.

The nuns also announced they were associating with the Society of St. Pius X, a breakaway traditionalist Catholic group, and said they reelected the Rev. Mother Teresa Agnes Gerlach for a three-year term.

It is not clear whether the monastery is drawing large numbers.

On a recent morning, roughly a dozen people attended a somber Mass.

The nuns, who are cloistered and have little contact with the outside world, sat behind a thick screen.

Only their whispered prayers could be heard.

A sign hanging in the lobby of the monastery read:

Carmelite Monastery of the Most Holy Trinity, Daily Mass, 7:30 a.m., All welcome, God is love.

“We are very happy to be able to share our life of prayer and the riches of the Church’s traditional liturgy with others,” the nuns wrote in a Sept. 14 statement. Related:‘Scandalous’: Fort Worth Catholic bishop condemns Arlington nuns in public rebuke

The extraordinarily public 18-month fight between the nuns and Olson has played out in dueling statements, civil court and outrageous headlines. It began in April 2023 when the bishop accused Gerlach, the monastery’s head nun, of violating her vow of chastity with a priest.

In response, the reverend mother and monastery filed a civil lawsuit against the bishop and diocese, accusing Olson of invading the sisters’ privacy and overstepping his authority.

A nearly six-hour court proceeding included explosive testimony from diocese officials, references to “sexting” and drug use, and audio of a 40-minute conversation between Olson and the former head nun. A Texas state judge ruled that civil court did not have jurisdiction to decide the church matter.

Gerlach admitted to breaking her vow of chastity on two occasions, but at another point in the conversation, she said she only spoke to the priest by phone. She had been hospitalized in November 2022 for seizures and was taking pain medication as a result, her attorney, Matthew Bobo, has previously said. Gerlach, who is in poor health, uses a wheelchair and feeding tube.

Earlier this year, the Vatican weighed in and placed the nuns under new authority, an association of Carmelite nuns. But the Arlington nuns said the decree amounted to a hostile takeover.

Before last year, the nuns had little interaction with the Fort Worth diocese. They live and work on 72 wooded acres in Arlington, spending their days praying, cooking, cleaning and caring for the grounds, rarely leaving the premises.

Opposing decree

Earlier this year, the Vatican weighed in and placed the nuns under new authority, an association of Carmelite nuns. But the Arlington nuns said the decree amounted to a hostile takeover. Before last year, the nuns had little interaction with the Fort Worth diocese. They live and work on 72 wooded acres in Arlington, spending their days praying, cooking, cleaning and caring for the grounds, rarely leaving the premises.

In the beginning, there were many elements that converged to make Fort Worth Carmel a reality.

Not the least of these elements was the delicate and beautiful plan of Divine Providence, which has unfolded so wonderfully through these 49 years.

There are so many wonderful friends who have contributed vitally toward the foundation of this Carmel, all of whom we would like to mention here, but in this small space it is not possible to do so.

We hope someday to write up the full history, and when this is done you will know the whole story!

Divine Providence made the first move, when a New York attorney sent a $5,000 donation to Oklahoma City Carmel with a letter requesting that this money be used to begin a new foundation of Carmel.

This good man acted in response to a sermon he had heard on "Vocations to the Religious Life," and so the Spirit of God did indeed inspire the beginning of our Carmel.

Heading the foundation was Mother Mary Magdalene, later elected its first prioress;

with her were four other nuns, including her blood sister Sister Margaret Mary.

After trips to and fro looking for a site , a lovely old home was found in a residential nook downtown, perched on a steep bluff overlooking the Trinity River.

Hence the name of the new foundation: Carmel of the Most Holy Trinity.

It was on October 2, 1958, that the Foundation of Carmel in Fort Worth was officially established.

On that day, Msgr. Vincent J. Wolf, who was then rector of St. Patrick Co-Cathedral, came in to bless the new Carmel, to seal the enclosure, and to celebrate the First Mass in the tiny chapel of the now cloistered Monastery.

Bishop Thomas K. Gorman, who had planned to come but was unable to do so because of illness, had delegated Msgr. Wolf to officiate in his stead.

It was not long after the foundation was established that Our Lord came to call one of His Spouses to Himself.

Mother Margaret Mary, who was Prioress since January 1965, died on March 11, 1967, after having suffered with cancer over a 25 year period.

Her death was a devastating blow to the young community, but we know that Mother Margaret is still with us interceding for us and sharing in all our concerns, along with our other three Sisters already in Eternity.

With grateful affection we remember them and the precious gift of their lives to God in Carmel, living the hidden life of prayer and sacrifice for the Church and the whole world.

By 1977 it was clear that the possibilities for further expansion of our small city lot were exhausted.

Through the generosity of a longtime benefactor, a beautiful, wooded 56 acre tract of land was purchased in Arlington, a fast-growing city between Fort Worth and Dallas.

It was ideal: secluded, yet central to our wide circle of friends and altar bread customers.

In collaboration with the nuns, our architects designed a striking building, one that is most often described in terms of its beauty and simplicity and its unique blend of both the classic and traditional.

And for us, so wonderfully suited to the monastic life.

Before leaving Fort Worth, we celebrated the Silver Jubilee of our Foundation in 1983.

At that time we were in the process of building our new monastery in Arlington, and the community was happy to move in on November 28, 1984.

The Dedication of our Chapel and Open House took place in May of 1985.

Since that time we have made additional enhancements to the grounds with landscaping and walkways, etc.

We made altar breads and did ceramic work when we were in Fort Worth and during the first years after our move to Arlington.

At present we are engaged in art and printing work, hand crafts, Newsletters and Novenas as a means of communication with our friends and benefactors, and other work necessary for the upkeep and care of our monastery and garden areas.

In December of 1999 we hosted the Visit of the Relics of St. Therese to North Texas.

It was a time of wonderful graces and blessings for our community and for the people of this region as an estimated 50,000 came to venerate the Relics and express their devotion to our dear Little Therese.

In October of 2018 we celebrated the 60th Anniversary of our

Foundation. May God be praised for His blessings to us during these many years in the Diocese of Fort Worth.

Praised be Jesus Christ!

CLUTE, TX — Move over all other stores! A new, super-popular shopping destination is in town. Chick-fil-A, Buc-ee's, and Hobby Lobby have all reportedly merged into one conglomerate, instantly making it the most popular store of all time.

"Welcome to Buc fil-A Lobby!" said CEO Jack Squench to a record-breaking crowd of 800 gajillion spadillion excited customers. "We promise to fulfill your every need and bring you happiness unlike anything you've ever known."

"Try the beef jerky, it's our pleasure," he added before being trampled to death by the mob of happy customers.

"I filled my Dodge Ram Dually truck with diesel, used the clean bathrooms, and grabbed a delicious lunch while the Mrs. perused the vast aisles of the store until she found the perfect rustic sign with the word "Gather" printed on it," said customer Dirk Smith. "Hey look, it's the Buc-ee's beaver dancing a jig with some of them eat-mor-chicken cows!"

Neighboring Wal-Marts, Popeye's, and 7-11s were forced to close down just minutes after the grand opening, as all shoppers had dropped everything and raced straight to Buc fil-A Lobby for the world's greatest shopping experience.

At publishing time, Disney Corporation had begun demolishing its theme parks to redesign them from scratch based solely on Buc fil-A Lobby stores.

So, good news from tonight's Texas primary elections, because we need some wins:

It appears that Jessica Cisneros, a progressive endorsed by Bernie, has beat incumbent Henry Cuellar, the last anti-choice Democrat remaining in Congress, huge recipient of oil bribes lobbying money, and currently under investigation by the FBI in the 28th District.

Speaking of South Texas (where the 28th is located), Democratic turnout eclipsed Republican turnout. Biden severely underperformed in south Texas in both the primary (losing big to Bernie) and general (winning by a smaller than normal margin), so Republicans thought they could capture the area because of some heavily gerrymandered seats, like the 15th. Tonight proves that tentatively wrong.

Jasmine Crockett, who offered pro-bono law work for BLM protestors and endorsed by Our Revolution and Stonewall, is leading for the 30th district

Austin Council member Greg Casar, also a progressive endorsed by Bernie and the DSA, won his primary for the 35th Congressional District. The seat is open because the previous incumbent, Lloyd Doggett was redistricted to the new TX-37. He is very likely to win the Democratic-leaning seat

We could potentially double the number of LGBTQ representatives in the Texas Legislature. There are currently 6, and 20 candidates are running in this cycle. However, unfortunately, to my knowledge there are no trans or nb candidates

Democratic turnout has been good for a non-Presidential year. There are serious headwinds against Democrats this year, so it is a good sign that the absolute buckwild behaviour the Texas GOP has exhibited the past few years might have sparked enough backlash to fight it.

My wife and I had weekend breakfast this morning at a crêperie in the elevator lobby of an old-looking building called the Scarbrough building. I didn't see a historic sign so I looked on wikipedia....the building was built in 1910 for a department store. It was renovated in 1931, which is when the art deco elements were added. It apparently got centralized air conditioning in the same remodel (1931!), making it the first business to have air conditioning west of the Mississippi.

The art deco elements made me want to take a picture with Bessie, since those would have been part of her world in the 1920s. I used faceapp to combine images since I didn't have her with me.

My white ancestors would have been able to shop in this department store 100 years ago. Coming fresh from reading @iamexcessivelydollverted Rebekkah's Patreon article yesterday, I had it more in my thoughts than I would have been otherwise that a real person with Bessie's demographic identity (a 12-year old black child in the late 1920s) would have been subject to Jim Crow laws in her everyday existence here in Austin, TX. I don't know if the Scarbrough department store was for whites only or if everyone could shop there, while facilities like restrooms would have been segregated. In the 1920s, because of the limited kinds of jobs available to black people in the South, there may have been few blacks who could have afforded to shop in this space 100 years ago And as Rebekkah pointed out in her article, whites-only and segregated spaces were present in many places up north as well.

I am excited about American Girl's release of Claudie Wells as a character, with her wonderful book (I am devoutly hoping it will be a 6 book series plus mysteries; I am here for all of it). And I'm taking it as an opportunity to educate myself more about the renaissance of African-American poetry, writing, art, and music that happened in Harlem and other northern cities in the 1920s. The artistic achievements are even more remarkable considering the oppression African-American people lived under.
