Spencer was shot. It all happened so quickly– the sound of the gun firing, the grunt that he let out and the apprehension of the UnSub. Too quickly, but such is the fickleness of life. This was one of the rare occasions where the ballistic vest did not do its job, the bullet jamming into his side. Hotch was on the UnSub in seconds, the cuffs on his wrists before anyone could blink. 

“Shit, Reid,” Derek gasps out, watching the way blood seeps through his once pristine white shirt, and he presses his hand against the wound. “Shit, Hotch! Hotch! We need a medic!”

*** 

“It’s going to be okay,” Aaron assures as best he can. His face is grim and Derek is shaking his head in frustration, hands trembling and cold from washing his hands over and over again. “It’s not your fault.”

“We missed him,” Gideon mutters, “he was right there and we missed him.”

“And Spencer got hurt because of it.” Elle’s gaze is set on the hospital’s sign in counter. 

Aaron understands their guilt. They caught the UnSub in the end, so nothing was ever in vain, but it doesn’t change the fact that they didn’t anticipate that he was at the end of the hallway waiting for the perfect moment to strike– and Spencer paid the price of their mistakes. The bullet hit him in the side where the vest didn’t cover, the damage reaching his liver and kidneys. Aaron doesn’t think he’s ever seen that much blood before. 

“Excuse me–” a voice loud enough to cut through their brooding chimes from the reception desk. “Hi. Hello, I’m here for, um, Doctor Spencer Reid?”

The clerk glances at her for a brief moment before turning back to his computers. “We don’t have a Doctor by that name on staff.”

“Um, no–” a nervous laugh splits the air. “No, he’s– he’s not a doctor here. He’s a patient? I got a call.”

He looks at her up and down before raising an eyebrow, mumbling something. “Is that you?”

“Yes. Yes, that’s me, is he okay? I came as soon as I could.”

“He’s in surgery. He’ll be out in a few. Take a seat over there–” He gestures over to where Aaron and the others are sitting– “and the doctor will call you over.”

“Right. Right, okay, thank you.” 

Elle doesn’t try hiding her confusion, looking up at you from her seat with raised brows. “You’re here for Reid?”

You jolt in surprise, the heavy grip you have on your bag loosening in an attempt to calm down. “Hi? Um, yeah. He’s– well, we’re on each other’s emergency contact list.”

“It’s good to see you again,” Aaron says with a tight grimace. “I wish it were under better circumstances.”

Derek’s jaw unhinges. “You knew?”

“Emergency contact list.” Aaron offers you a glance. “Are you okay?”

“I just–” your voice wobbles, a choked whimper leaving your lips. “I just want him to be okay.”

The team shares your sentiments. It’s not often when there’s an injury as serious as this on the field, but the risk is there. The room is tense with worry, the sound of doctors and nurses rushing around through the halls does nothing to ease their anxieties. You’re already fearing the worst. 

What feels like hours is only minutes as a nurse arrives in front of your little group. 

“Doctor Spencer Reid?” She confirms, looking sympathetic as ever. “The surgery was a success. The bullet grazed against his liver so he does need to stay for a couple of days for monitoring, but he should make a full recovery.”

“Is he allowed guests?” You blurt out hurriedly, the receipt in your hands crumbled in torn from incessant worrying. 

“He’s should be waking up now, but you’re welcome to see him. I’ll take you there.” The nurse offers a gentle smile. “Girlfriend?”

Heat roars against your cheeks and you shake your head adamantly. “No, no, he’s– we’re not– he’s my roommate.”

The nurse hums, a knowing smile on her face. ���I see.”

After a few quick goodbyes towards Aaron and the rest of the team, you hurry after the nurse whilst clutching your bag of goods. She opens the door wide, letting you inside before closing it behind you while you pull up a chair. 

“I am– I am so mad at you, Spencer Walter Reid,” you whisper, gaze fixed on his resting face and the hair that mats his forehead. You brush a few strands away from his eyes, your lips trembling briefly. “I’m so glad you’re okay.”

“So you’re not that mad?” Spencer croaks out, his voice dry and his head pounding as he manages to lift his eyes towards you.

“Spencer.” Your arms are around his neck in an instant, careful as not to disrupt the wires and tubes that surround him. “I’m going to kill you.”

 “That’s counter intuitive.” He laughs quietly, wincing a little at the suddenness before allowing his free arm to wrap loosely around your waist. He finds it uneasy, the way your lips fall into a wobbly frown and how your eyes look red and puffy from crying. He’s only ever seen you look like this once before but that’s nothing compared to this. This time you look like that because of him– a silly little accident has lead to your pretty smile vanishing off your pretty face.

“You suck. I’m telling your mother.” He knows you won’t and he’s grateful that you’ve found it in yourself to make a joke. When you pull away, he immediately misses your warmth, watching as you rummage through your bag before handing him a sealed cup of red jell-o. “It was the last one they had.”

“You’re an angel, really, but I don’t think I’m allowed to eat for a couple hours,” he murmurs, his fingers grasping gingerly at the cup.

With a wordless nod in acknowledgement, you press a thick leather bound book into his hands, your eyes meeting his gaze. “Your favourite.”

He breathes out his thanks, glancing up at you through the dim lights of the hospital room. “Are you going to stay?”

“As long as you want, Walter.” 

*** 

From the other side of the door, Derek glances through the window at you and Spencer before looking back at Hotch. “They’re roommates?”

“Apparently.”

“No, but– they’re just roommates?”

“Unfortunately.”

ShortMC's Whumptober 2023 Scrapped Scenes (pt. 1)

(Shorter) Scenes, dialogue, etc. that didn't make it into a final draft

Putting these here because I might use some of my ideas in the future (+ I like using this color scheme) All word counts are for me because I like knowing

Please heed the trigger warnings before every section

The aftermath of I’m Getting Desperate (losing my mind):

Prompt: "Make it stop" (no. 3 Ralvez | 59 words | I originally planned to extend the story into parts of the aftermath/Luke's recovery from the events of the fic

Luke blinks, looking up from his lap at their fingers interlock.

“Real?” he whispers, eyes wide, wondering if this is another cruel joke his mind is playing on him.

“Real,” Spencer nods, squeezing his boyfriend’s hand, the gesture tugging at the corner of the older man’s mouth—the closest he gets to smiling these days. “I’m real, Luke; I’m here.”

Spencer having a panic attack (I don't have a title)

Prompt: Shaking (alt for no. 4) 142 words

⚠️TW: panic attack & self-harm (scratching)

He’s shaking.

Spencer’s hands won’t stop shaking, folding his fumbling fingers together in an attempt to quell the anxious electricity buzzing beneath his skin.

He can’t breathe, gasping and gulping for air, dry sobs shaking his shoulders.

It won’t stop. He needs it to stop.

 It won’t stop.

He waves his hands, shaking them out, hoping to release some of the energy bubbling, burning through his body, digging his nails into his forearms and dragging them through his skin when that doesn’t work.

Deleted scene from The Sky is Overcast (I’m sorry):

Prompts: "You're a liar" (no. 9) + "You said you'd never leave" (no. 10) + Goodbye Note Ralvez | 46 words | Luke was originally going to give Spencer the note & imply that there would be another one if he died while he was gone.

“This–” Luke holds up an envelope, his partner’s name written on the front.

“Luke, no–”

“–this is for you, cariño.”

“–Luke, please don’t do this–”

“There’s another one, in case I–” He swallows, finally making eye contact with Spencer. “You’ll get it if the time comes–”

A single scrapped line from Wide Awake, Spiraling:

Prompts: Captivity (no. 11) + Insomnia (no. 12) Ralvez | 25 words | In which I actually use the word from one of the prompts instead of making them implied

⚠️TW: vaguely referenced (past) unhealthy relationship

He’s her captive, still trapped by a cage of claws around his memories, even if he isn’t still in her grasp; there’s no escaping her.

Scrapped Scenes from I Can’t Hide From You (like I hide from myself):

Prompts: Infection (no. 13) + "Just hold on" (no. 14) + "I'm fine" (no. 15) Ralvez | 101 words | One line where Emily & Luke worry + Spencer telling Penelope to call Luke

Emily glances at Luke when Spencer isn’t looking, eyes filled with worry, and the younger agent responds with a nod, exchanging an unspoken “I’ll take care of it.”

“Reid? Boy wonder? Can you hear me? What’s going on?”

“Pen... I need... need Luke…”

“Oh my god, Spencer– What’s going on? Are you hurt?”

“I don’t... don’t feel too good.”

“Okay. Okay. Okay! I’m calling Luke right now and getting an ambulance to your location, 187. just hang on.”

“M’kay…”

“Garcia? What’s–”

“Luke, Spencer’s on the line and he says he isn’t feeling well.”

“Cariño? Spence, can you hear me?”

“Mhm... here…”

Spencer gets shot.

Prompts: "I don't feel so good"/Infection (no. 13) + "Just hold on" (no. 14) + Makeshift Bandages (no.15) Moreid | 324 words | Spencer gets shot (again) & EMTs can't get to his location quick enough

The average speed of a bullet fired from a typical muzzle is approximately 2,700 feet per second.

“Reid?”

That’s 900 yards per second; a bullet fired from 25 yards away will hit its target in about 0.03 seconds.

“REID!”

The average human reaction time to visual stimuli is around 0.25 seconds.

“SPENCER!”

He will be 0.22 seconds too late.

“REID!”

Derek fires once, twice before the younger agent hits the ground, head hitting something with a sickening crack.

“Spencer!”

He doesn’t waste time on the unsub, one of his bullets hitting him square in the forehead, rushing to Spencer’s side instead.

“Come on, Pretty Boy. Look at me,” Derek kneels beside the younger brunette, hand instinctively moving to the wound on the back of his head, blood soaking Spencer’s hair and more seeping through his shirt. “Look at me, Pretty Boy. Show me those beautiful eyes.”

Spencer’s eyelids flutter, heal lolling to the side with a soft groan.

“Derek?”

“Right here, kid. Look at me.”

The younger agent pries his eyes open, gaze hazy and unfocused, finding Derek.

“There you are, Spence. Keep looking at me.”

“‘M bleeding...” He murmurs, eyelids drooping as shaking fingers weakly find the wound in his side. “Gotta stop the bleeding...”

“Yeah, got it, Pretty Boy.” Derek nods, forcing himself to focus, assessing as if he’s holding some stranger, not his best friend, before taking off his jacket and pressing it against the injury, drawing a sharp inhale from the younger brunette.

“It takes three to five minutes to bleed out from a gunshot wound... a person can lose up to 40% of their blood volume without dying, which is about 2 liters of blood–”

Derek wants to cut him off, tell him that isn’t going to happen, that he isn’t going to die, but talking means he’s still awake, that genius brain still calculating, crunching the numbers, gears turning, and alive, so he doesn’t.

Scrapped Scenes from Please Hurry, Leave Me (I can’t breathe):

Prompts: Drugging (alt for no. 16) + Touch Aversion (no. 17) + Tortured for Information (no. 18) Ralvez | 113 words | Luke trying to talk to Spencer/help him after Hankel

“Spencer, I understand you’ve been through something traumatic–”

“Stop! Stop talking to me like I’m a victim!”

Luke sighs, lowering his hands and leaning back in his chair.

“Okay.”

The younger brunette watches him for a beat, waiting for his boyfriend to speak.

“Okay..?”

“Okay, we’re going to sit here until you’re ready to talk because we’re not going home until you let me help you.”

Spencer frowns, fumbling with the cuffs of his sleeves

+

“Spencer, I understand you’ve been through something traumatic–”

“Stop! Stop talking to me like I’m a victim!”

You are, Luke wants to argue, but he knows better, he knows that it’ll only make Spencer close himself off more.

Moreid one shot, 1 - "not like this"

Season 5, episode 10 "The slave of duty" (at the very beginning, at Haley's funeral)

This was the first thing I ever wrote so it kinda sucks. As well as, I'd say, my first 3/4 shots,,, sorry people I've improved tremendously in these months so the difference between these first works and my latests is quite baffling ❤️ edit: I almost re-wrote it so it doesn't utterly suck anymore

Read it on AO3

-------------

During Hotch's speech Morgan could clearly see the expression of sadness and, at the same time, anxiety, through Spencer's eyes. After all, they were at a funeral, and not anyone's: Hotch's truest love's funeral. That's why he didn't really put too much concern into Spencer's look. Everyone was feeling like that, including himself.

There was a point though, when Reid couldn't take it anymore. He tried to get farther as quietly as possible, considering the space he inevitably took while trying to split his way through the people with that damned cane of his.

He felt like he couldn't breathe - which was absolutely nonsense, he realized, since they were outdoors. His brain was racing with absurd scenarios about the same situation Hotch found himself into, but with him and Derek as protagonists.

-

"Kid," Derek's deep but almost whisper-like voice came from behind.

Reid did not turn around neither reply - seemingly, he was flat-out ignoring him. But anyone who knew him could tell without a doubt that such thing was highly unlikely: Morgan was one of the only people he always listened to, whatever the topic he was talking about. The actual reason why Reid didn't turn around was, as a matter of fact, that all his brain effort was funneled into relentlessly picturing those scenarios: even if he'd wanted to, he couldn't have physically heard anything else.

Derek carefully stepped closer and softly put a hand on his boyfriend's shoulder, afraid to scare him. Spencer slightly winced at the contact - even being very light, considering the multiple layers of clothing separating his skin from Morgan's palm - and finally turned around, like he had just been woken up from a bad dream. But he didn't say anything.

"Something wrong?" Derek simply asked, expecting him to say that he was sorry for Hotch and needed to get himself out of that context. Naive and too optimistic of him.

Spencer stayed silent for a few seconds more and then finally spoke up, although still unable to look back into Derek's eyes.

"I'm extremely sorry for Hotch... and I don't want this to sound disrespectful or- or selfish... but I just- I can't... I can't stop thinking that I hope this doesn't happen again." he blurted out, expecting Derek to understand what he meant without actually saying it, too afraid of sounding stupid if he'd said it out loud.

Derek looked rightfully confused. He inched as close as the barriers two "teammates" were supposed to respect allowed him to, to make the conversation more private - though it's not like anyone was in a ray of less than 30 ft from them. He shifted his hand from Spencer's coated shoulder to his shivering, bare neck.

"Kid...this is our job, things like these happen everyday. But we can do a little bit to help the people who suffer these losses, including Hotch. And that's why in this moment more than ever we shou-"

"D-Derek, that's- that's not what I mean." Spencer cut him off abruptly, trying not to seem rude, as his eyes became glossy with tears.

From the gaze he was giving him and the sudden way his body tensed up, Derek began to capture what he was thinking. He didn't say anything and instead, chose to simply snake his hand toward the back of Spencer's head, caressing his scalp tenderly through his long hair.

That gesture was usually a soothing one for Spencer, one that was part of Derek's and his routine as a couple - or, frankly, even before they were a couple. But this time, he grabbed his wrist and slowly pulled it away.

He felt anxious to the point of nausea at the idea of having to say exactly what he was thinking, losing any hope that Derek could get it by just that vague hint he had given him earlier.

"I mean, I'm really scared..." he paused to gulp nervously and drop his gaze toward his hand, fiddling with the handle of his wooden cane. "...that this could happen to- to us."

"...you and me? You mean?" Derek hesitated a bit before asking for clarification, arching his brows in that way like he always did while he pointed at the two of them - as if saying "you and me" hadn't been explanatory enough.

Spencer nodded as a tear shed down his cheek, leaving a lukewarm streak on his skin prickled by the piercing cold breeze. He found the courage to meet the other man's eyes.

"It's gonna happen sooner or later, isn't it." it wasn't a question.

Derek opened his mouth to answer, but didn't really have the time.

"It's gonna happen that someday one of us will find himself in life danger because of the other. And the other won't have the means to do anything about it." Spencer explained further, while his voice was becoming nothing short of a shaky whisper.

"I don't wanna ever lose you but most of all not like- like this. Not like Hotch lost the love of his life."

The words stabbed Morgan right in his heart in a bittersweet way: he had painfully acknowledged that Reid was really scared about such a thing; but on the other side of the coin he had also picked up on the unspoken hint that he was the love of his life, like Haley had been for Hotch. And the concept left him for the first time self-questioning if the sentiment was mutual, but mostly it left him feeling...blessed.

Derek was usually the one trying to reason in this types of conversations - which often happened, with his boyfriend as well as with other members of the team - but he knew that Spencer knew there was no answer to a doubt like that, and if there ever was one that could come close to being somewhat appropriate, it would be the same old: "It's the job". He soon realized that neither of them needed reason in that specific moment.

Along with that realization came all the tears he hadn't shed during Hotch's speech - which, by the way, had just finished, Morgan gathered by the way the team's attention was now drawn to what was happening between the two of them. They weren't very far. Surely far enough that they could see through the trees but not hear at all, though.

Derek decided not to answer. He decided, instead, to pull him closer by his shoulder and hug him tightly, once again slipping a hand through his hair and an arm enveloping his waist.

Spencer was caught a little off guard: he wasn't ready for that kind of reaction, considering, amongst other things, that they should've gone back to the speech long before.

He let himself sink into the hug, wrapping an arm around Derek's broad shoulders and burying his sobbing face into his neck. It didn't fail to annoy him yet once more the fact that every time they hugged, he could only use one arm because if the other lifted the cane from the ground his injured leg would falter underneath his weight - yes, he had tried.

To be quite honest, Spencer wanted to kiss him. For some stupid reason though, he felt like they hadn't been dating long enough to be "allowed" to kiss when they were around the team - as if everyone didn't know already...

-

Derek pulled away just a little, caressing Spencer's cheek with his knuckles. He gave him a look that spoke all the words he couldn't quite phrase.

He hesitated a few seconds more before leaning in to gently kissed his temple, and then his cheekbone, and then the soft space separating his ever-so-slightly frowning eyebrows; wishing his pecks alone could warm up not only his shivering skin but his heart as well.

He finally moved to his lips, and kissed those too, relishing in how Spencer didn't simply not flinch back in embarrassment, more so his jaw unhooked, and his neck relaxed to slightly tilt on one side, and his shoulders slumped, and his fingers slid smoothly against his nape.

Derek hesitated a bit to let his tongue meet the other's, but when he did, the shuddering sigh that escaped Spencer's lungs worked as a final clue that he'd effectively managed to sweep away his paranoia, even having said nothing at all.

Their tongues entwined slowly and intensely, cradling into each other's mouth in a good-hearted attempt to mutually steal parts of them and make them their own. Spencer was winning that contest. Maybe he was, too, the love of Derek's life.

-

Even having completely discarded every concern about whether the others were watching or not, Spencer had to part their lips in search for air, only loosening the hug enough so that he could look into Derek's irises without going cross-eyed.

"I really hope too that doesn't happen to us, kid." Derek whispered breaking the silence, interrupting the soothing sound of the breeze enveloping them and the rustling of leaves.

He gained from Spencer a slight and melancholic grin. But it was more than enough.

-

Reid could see the rest of the team far behind Morgan's shoulder. Strangely enough, only one of them was still peeking in their direction.

Hotch, isolated from the others, holding up Jack in his arms. Not only he wasn't offended, he also did not look so upset anymore.

He smiled.

Spencer smiled back.

Dog Days

Pairing: Moreid (temporary Morgan/Savannah)

Rating: Mature (just to be safe, will be adjusted by the end of the fic)

Summary: The Unrequited!Love Dog-Sitting fic disguised as a Holiday Fic

Everyone knows that the myth of ‘The Reid Effect’ has been debunked when it comes to babies and children, over the years, but interactions with dogs still leaves much to be desired. That is, until Reid finally happens to meet Morgan’s dog -- Clooney. Turns out, most dogs might dislike the young doctor, but Clooney is absolutely enamored with him. Will not leave his side, begging for attention, and Morgan can’t help but see the opportunity for what it is: a chance to help Reid past his fear of dogs (because his dog is the best and what’s not to love?), while he gets a prospectfully new dog sitter as he travels to Chicago to visit family for the holidays. 

And Spencer is terrified of this dog, but still says yes in the face of Morgan’s earnest request. Because Dr. Spencer Reid has been silently in love with his best friend for many years, and despite his every attempt to move past it -- how could he ever deny him anything? Even looking after his giant, wolf-like dog. 

Important Tags: Angst, Unrequited Pining, but not actually because they’re both morons. There is no cheating in this fic. Canon-compliant, set around season 10. Christmas/holiday themes. Fluff and humor as well. Lots of dog related puns and activities. Misunderstandings and miscommunications and dumb men being so dumb. Happy Ending. (But not before I rip your heart into tiny confetti sized pieces.) 

CW: Remember how I said there was angst? Basically we’re all going to be suffering from broken heart syndrome for a lot of this story. I cannot stress enough how much this might make you cry. Also, I have made Clooney a very large dog, and Spencer is very much afraid of this dog to start with. I promise Clooney is an absolute sweetheart, though, and they bond over how much they miss Derek over the holidays. This is NOT a Savannah bashing fic, Savannah is a queen and might take matters into her own hands about these two idiots -- just so you know. ((And I don’t know yet if I’ll be adding sex into this. I haven’t written the end completely yet, if I do I will change the tags/rating, and if I -don’t- then I’ll probably end up doing a one-shot separately.))

Commentaries are under the cut.

(1) this (technically, both, but i still choose secret dating) can get toxic really fast so it depends on a particular couple

(2) both bc batjokes and rhack exist but yeah, i'll take best friends to lovers over anything at any given day (stevebucky supremacy <3 also kazper and moreid and hossi)

(3) modern fantasy au!

(4) listen... who said it can't be mutual pining while doing chores?

(5) i rarely find canon that shouldn't be fixed, so I'll go with this one. much more possibilities and freedom to how it should've went in canon. canon compliant is nice only when you can squeeze what you need, but then you can easily go with a fix it in the first place

(6) neither 🙄 both make me feel really bad, nauseous even

(7) i can't stress this enough. that's why i can't go with heartstopper, young royals and other nonsense. it's perfectly fine that people like them, but i'm so tired of kids and teenagers in media. currently i am screaming about two men in their 50-60 being in love & that's the content i love having. everything that starts with adult characters (25-30-35) and older. older characters finding themselves again with a younger partner that is genuinely in love with them is also great (think 'A Single Man')

(8) neither. if there's no comfort after angst, I'll scroll past both. i used to love angst, now i can't handle reading angst for the sake of angst.

(9) leaning towards mundane, but if apocalyptic is executed right, i can do that, too (hi to tlou). apocalyptic mundane works, too.

☆。*。☆。

Spencer ran frantically around his dark and messy apartment, picking up the case files and Chinese takeout boxes that had piled up on his antique coffee table. Few peanut oil stains stuck onto the wooden top. The anxious man took the nearest napkin, hoping that it was clean, and tried his best to wipe off the oil stains. Seeing that they wouldn’t come off, Spencer exasperatedly dropped the napkin onto the table and rushed over to his kitchen, grabbing the necessary cleaning supplies. He got his bottle of white vinegar and water, a pair of yellow rubber gloves, and an old rag underneath the kitchen sink.

By the time Spencer was done, every room in his apartment was clean to his standard. Not a book out of place, no dust lingering in the air. Spencer felt both scared and excited about having his co-workers come over to his place. He never had them over until today. He felt scared if a game, like truth or dare, made him confess his true feelings about his boyfriend.

Derek and Spencer had worked with each other for a long time. As the years went by, experiencing the highs and lows of being FBI agents together, the two of them felt their hearts yearn for each other, but neither of them acted upon it. They were scared of the possibility of rejection, tarnishing their friendship. It was not until Derek decided to break the ice and asked out Spencer. The young man was delighted to have his crush ask him out. It was the one thing that went right in his life.

Three months in and either of them hasn’t said “I love you” yet. Either of them was scared to frighten off the other. Saying “I love you” was a big commitment. They were trying to take things slow, not to rush each other, even though they had known each other for a long time.

The gang was heading over to Spencer’s for a little sleepover to relax as they hadn’t received any new cases within the past 2 weeks. It was nice to have a break from all the traveling and dealing with unsubs; however, it does get boring doing paperwork and in-office consultations for hours.

Spencer’s phone pinged multiple times and a bunch of text notifications came.

Hotch: Sorry, can’t make it. I couldn’t find a babysitter for Jack and Jessica is busy at work tonight. Maybe next time.

Tara: going out on the town with the ladies!

Penelope: sorry spencer but jj tara and i are having a ladies night :(

JJ: sorry spence! perhaps next time!

Rossi: Sorry kid. Forgot to tell you that I’m driving up to Montauk to visit a buddy of mine.

Spencer sighed and felt defeated. Everyone bailed on him at the last minute. Everyone except for Derek. That was fine with Spencer, as this could be a date night for them. Just then, the doorbell rang, indicating someone had arrived. Having a small smile on his face, Spencer scurried to the front door and opened it. It revealed one handsome Derek Morgan, who was holding a large pizza in one hand and a small bouquet of flowers in the other.

“I saw in the group chat that everyone else bailed on this.” Derek said.

“Yeah but this could be a date night for us.” Spencer smiled at his little proposition. Derek smiled, showing off his brilliant pearly whites, as he entered the apartment.

The couple spent their night-in watching movies, eating pizza, and Spencer going off tangents on his passions. Whenever Spencer starts to rant about one of his passions, Derek just stared at his little genius and smiled at how happy his boyfriend was. And that continued all night long, Derek listening to Spencer talk about 19th-century British literature, coupled with watching random movies of various genres.

Nearing 1 am, the couple laid on the couch, with Spencer in Derek’s arms. The tv was playing Julie & Julia in the background. Spencer was half asleep and noticed that Derek was sleeping already. He gently wiggled out of Derek’s arms and stood up from the couch, scratching his scalp and messing up his already messy curly hair.

“Hey. Let’s go to bed.” Spencer softly said, patting his boyfriend’s shoulder. Derek woke up, feeling groggy. Spencer led the way to his room, holding Derek’s hand. They both flopped onto the bed and Derek wrapped an arm around Spencer’s waist. They were used to sharing a room together, even a bed due to mistakes occurring at the hotels they stayed at when they were on cases. Sleep washed over them as the golden dust of the Sandman worked its magic.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Standing across from Derek were Spencer and Cat Adams. The hitwoman had a gun pointed at one scared Spencer Reid. Internally, Derek was screaming. On the outside, he kept his cool and calm composure.

“Morgan, get out.” Spencer demanded.

“I’m not going anywhere.” Derek said, his voice shaking a little.

“Hm… I guess we’re back where we started. You and me with a gun.” Cat said without a care in the world, keeping the gun aimed at Spencer.

“Reid, it’s time.”

“No.”

“We don’t have a choice. We have to do it,” Derek said. Spencer kept shaking his head no. “We found your father.” the unsub stood there in shock for a few seconds, before rage set inside of her.

“You’re lying. I don’t like men who lie. You men are all the same.” Cat said as she gauged the trigger on her gun. She shot Spencer in the head and without hesitation, Derek started to shoot at the unsub. Derek ran over to Spencer and held his dying love in his arms. He tried to keep him alive until the paramedics came. The last words Derek said was “I love you” before his boy wonder went limp.

Derek woke up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat. He heard himself breathing heavily and felt anxious from the nightmare he just had. The frightened man groggily rubbed his eyes to get rid of the Sandman’s dust. Leaning his back against the headboard, Derek stared at the wall across from him, concentrating his eyes on one spot. He hoped that this technique would help him fall back asleep. Alas, he was shaken up from the nightmare.

The dazed man anxiously searched for his phone, wondering how much time has passed. Fumbling through the grey sheets and trying not to wake up Spencer, Derek found his phone, turning on the touchscreen, the blue screen lit up brightly. 3:20 am. Derek took a deep breath and sighed, leaning his head back onto the headboard and looked over to see his baby-faced boyfriend fast asleep. A soft smile appeared on Derek’s face, reminding him of his reality: Spencer being his angel.

Feeling restless, Derek pushed the comforter off of himself and quietly got off of the bed. He opened the bedroom door and went to the bathroom that was down the hall. His hands turned on the faucet and cupped together to gather the running water. Derek splashed cold water onto his face, making him more alert and awake. His eyes caught the sight of his face in the mirror. Smile lines decorated his face, which contrasted the dark circles forming underneath his eyes. Derek sighed and made his way towards the kitchen.

Derek has come over to Spencer’s place many times before, so much so he knows the way around like the back of his hand. With ease, his muscular hand grabbed a tall glass, with an accompanying coaster, in one of the cabinets above. He filled the glass with water from the faucet below. Loud gulps could be heard as Derek drank the water, cool and fresh like he had found an oasis. Just as Derek gently placed the glass on the coaster, his ears caught the shuffling feet of a tired Spencer.

“Derek?” Spencer tiredly said. “What are you doing up?”

“Just needed some water, that is all.” Derek said his half truth-half lie. The young man shrugged and went towards the refrigerator.

Unknowingly, Derek started to tap his fingers against the dark grey laminate countertop. Spencer caught the sound with his ears and turned to face his boyfriend.

“Derek? Are you okay?”

“Yeah? Why wouldn’t I be okay?”

“Because you’re tapping your fingers across the countertop.” Spencer pointed out. When the tired genius mentioned the action, Derek immediately stopped, his eyes glancing at Spencer.

“We’re profilers, Derek. You can’t hide anything from me.” Spencer said, feeling concerned for his best friend. The mousy-haired man felt like a hypocrite after saying that to Derek. During the many years he worked with the handsome man in front of him, Spencer developed a crush on him. At first, it was just a silly little infatuation, but as time passed, it changed to being a crush. The young man was able to hide it well. That was until Derek reciprocated his feelings. That same crush turned into Spencer dating Derek. In these past few months, Spencer wanted to tell his angel of a boyfriend that he loved him, but he was scared that Derek would run away from him, just like everyone else in his life.

“Ha– you’re right, pretty Ricky,” Derek said in defeat, hanging his head low. Spencer came up behind Derek slowly, hesitant to show some affection to his probably scared boyfriend. He mustered up his own fears and gave Derek a hug from behind, and felt his boyfriend relaxing in his arms. The couple stood in silence for some time, savoring the unspoken quietness between them.

“Remember when you had to go in as bait for Cat Adams?” Derek asked, breaking the silence.

“Oh– yeah. Why are you asking?” Spencer responded, not getting the hint where the conversation was going.

“Two weeks since that case, I had these nightmares. I thought I could get through with it, but I can’t. My nightmare was about that. I dreamt that you were shot by Cat.” Derek explained.

“Derek…” Spencer felt shocked while his heart was breaking. He felt like he had to do something. But all he could do was sit and listen to his boyfriend get everything off his chest.

"I wish this is a nightmare that I could just wake up from... but it feels all real... and I hate every second of it. I felt like I was going to lose you when it actually happened,” Derek’s voice cracked a bit as tears pricked his deep brown eyes. “And I don’t want this to repeat. I wouldn’t forgive myself.”

“I won’t let it happen again,” Spencer quietly said, caresses Derek’s cheek. “We will make sure she stays in prison, alright?” Derek brought Spencer in for a long embrace. The mousy-haired man wrapped his arms around his athletic boyfriend’s waist as he placed his head in the crook of Derek’s neck. The soft warmth coming off of Derek comforted Spencer, clashing with her cold pale skin.

“I just uh…” Derek said tiredly.

“Yeah.” Spencer replied, smiling softly. He knew in his heart that Derek said “I love you” to him.

“You know?”

“I know.”

Road Trip: Prologue

Seats based off @drpipecleaner ‘s post

Pairings: Moreid and Jemily 🥰

Front seat men:

Hotch drives because he’s a little bit of a control freak. Also he will NOT sit in the back.

Rossi sits in shot gun because he’s worked there the longest. Also he says “I have old man bones”

Middle seat queens:

JJ sits gets her seat because she told Hotch that he can have her music turn. Everyone is pissed because now they have to listen to twice as much Beatles. JJ just tunes it out.

Penelope as the queen she is gets whatever seat she wants. (It’s mostly because shes blackmailing half of the team and everyone else is scared she’ll ruin their life. She’d never do that, right??)

Backseat LOSERS:

Derek originally was going to sit where Penelope was but suddenly changed his mind after a certain sparkly women whispered in his ear. (he got blackmailed...)

Spencer has to sit in the middle for a number of reasons. 1) he’s the smallest 2) he was late 3) he’s the youngest and a secret 4th reason is because Dereks there but he’s gonna pretend that’s not why.

Emily 100% is sitting in that seat for one reason and one reason only, JJ. She pretends to read her book and lean forward but really she holding hands with JJ. Her shoulders and back kill her after this but it’s worth it. She doesn’t think anyone knows (EVERYONE knows).

Road Trip Backstory:

They only had to drive because their case was in Alaska. They’d only had one other case in Alaska before but that was in a small town, this one was smack dab in the middle of Alaska which meant 2 days of driving once they arrived in the state. Connection was spotty at best there which meant Penelope got to tag along.

An unsub had been killing women every Friday so they packed their things and headed up there on Tuesday morning. They had only had one other road trip before and it ended badly. It was when Gideon and Elle were still on the team. Let’s say there were many fights and they accidentally left Spencer at a gas station and didn’t find out until an hour later. (Spencer was very upset, Gideon was mad because they had to go back for him...)

📗

(this moreid & jenelope btw; also tw for mentions of jj getting shot !!)

I’ve had this one in my head for a while: Derek and Spencer both constantly going to Penelope with their “boy trouble” (i.e. “I like him but he definitely doesn’t like me back 😫😫😫”) and Penelope’s always like “yeah he does, shoot your shot and you’ll see!!” and they never do cuz “wHaT iF iT rUiNs oUr fRiEnDsHiP!1!1!” and she’s just 🙄🤚 and one time jj is in her office eating ice cream and sitting on one of her desks when Spencer barged in and he sits next to Penelope and he’s like “DID YOU SEE THE SHIRT HE WAS WEARING??!! OH MY GOD HE LOOKS SO GOOD!!” and jj automatically catches on cuz everyone knows they like each other. And she’s like “who, Morgan? You know he’s straight right?” And winks at Penelope, and she catches onto what JJ’s doing so she just stays quiet. And Spencer’s like “I knooooow 😫💔” and jjs like “well, I mean... he does constantly call you - a boy - pretty, and he’s constantly finding excuses to touch you and ruffle your hair and all, and he’s super overprotective of you, but... you know, that’s probably nothing...” and she just keeps eyeing her ice cream, and looking up at Penelope every once in a while and Spencer sits up on his chair and he’s like “..... what’re you saying?” And she just glared at him for a second before saying “HES OBVIOUSLY INTO YOU, DUMMY!!!” And he’s just quiet cuz even though he doesn’t think Derek’s into him, she made some really good points, so he just walks out and Penelope chuckles before saying “if I knew it’d be that easy I would’ve said it a long time ago 😂” and JJ just chuckles and after a moment penelope realizes that this kind of also applies to them and that jj is constantly finding excuses to go to Penelope’s “lair” and pennys always worried about jj (which she always gave the excuse of “it’s because she just got into the field”) and she mentions this to jj who just gets all awkward and blushy but then her phone rings before she can answer and she just walks away and throughout the case penelope keeps trying to call her and she’s not answering so she takes this as a “she’s probably weirded out by it, and she probably doesn’t like me back 😔💔”. but then JJ gets shot and when she wakes up in the hospital the first thing she does is tell penny that she loves her, and they kiss and hold hands and even after jj fell sleep and Penelope fell asleep with her head on jj thigh, they’re still holding hands (and Derek and Spencer fell asleep on one of the chairs cuddling cuz there wasn’t another chair, but it’s fine cuz they made it work 🥰)

Happy reading!

oh look

[guccifloralsuits]

girl.........when u gonna rec some cm fics??? help a sis out!!

These are all Moreid, Hotchreid or no main pairing so heads up lol. I don’t read self-insert. I’ll try to tag the tumblr author’s blogs i know but i’ll prob miss a few (srry) 

GENERAL WARNING: please read the tags & ratings bc some of these have multiple TWs. I’ll try to tag here but also CM has some...uh. dark content. Graphic depictions of violence & ya know, murder. So be safe & take care of yourself.

Completed Works/One-Shots:

You Reap What You Sow by BloodiedRose // One-Shot // 6k // Elle & Spencer friendship, morcia side-pairing // took me a sec to get into but holy FUCK

Elle Greenaway suddenly transfers to the D.C. department. She tries to keep her head down, but that's hard to do when she has to get used to a new city, adopts her traumatised coworker, and is being haunted by her own personal Graveling.

A Dead Like Me au (but no knowledge of the show is required).

The Ghosts That Should-Have-Been by Kibbers // Completed // 17k // Hotchreid // TW: Suicide Attempt // The writing on this is insane. Kinda abstract but in a way which just works. I actually cried reading this

Hotch said, “You’re keeping score, just like Owen.”

If Spencer had been keeping score, the world was winning. The rolled eyes, the disinterested gazes, the way they spoke to him only when they wanted something. Only when they wanted notebooks read at an inhuman rate or statistics they could use for the profile, for a bet, for the delight of having them at all. If Reid was keeping score, he had the right to do so if only to prove to himself that he deserved to feel a little hurt. He deserved to step in front of a bullet to save a kid that felt the same way he did.

an ice white candle, lit by Lilaciliraya // One-shot // 2.5k // Moreid // TW: implied childhood sexual abuse

He fails his gun qualification because the administrator is male this time and he stands just a little too close. He hates that he is 23 years old and he cannot stop the way his hands shake in the presence of an unlikely possibility.

(or) The hardest thing that Spencer Reid has ever had to do is learn how to stay warm.

Visiting Hours by Word_Clay // one-shot // 5k // no main pairing // TW: threats of rape, dissociation, homicidal ideation // prison-arc, so well written

Getting more and more intense. Got to fall deeper in to beat them. I’ve lost friends before, but not like this; not in a box where I have no control—or do I?Starting to think like them; starting to survive like them. I’m here because I made a choice.What if that means I don’t get out alive?

Indispensable by Deejaymil // Completed // 40k // Hotchreid // this fic wrecked me lol it’s fine im fine

Dave's a damn good guardian angel, one of the best. And being one of the best means he gets the worst jobs: the important, the clumsy, the reckless, the difficult-to-keep-alive. The indispensables. But he's never before quite had anyone like Spencer Reid.

Within the first two seconds of meeting his new charge, the kid gets hit by a car; it really only goes downhill from there. His only consolation is that Emily is having just as much trouble with her new charge, Aaron Hotchner.

If only they could somehow combine their assignments...

He’s All That by rchr // One-shot // no pairing // 6k // criminally underrated i’ve read it like 70 times // bonus for Morgan’s POV // Garcia being a queen

"One does not simply make over the good Dr. Reid. A true makeover is all about sowing the seeds."

Sunflowers and Daisies by Agib, starsandsupernovae // @ag-ib & @rxsienbloom  // Completed // 12.5k // Moreid // Penelope being a queen (again) // I’m always a bitch for a Hanahaki Disease AU and this one especially

Derek is, without question, unfailingly in love with Doctor Spencer Reid.

Blueberry Syrup by dilaudiddreams // @m0rcia // One-shot // 1.5k // Moreid // Fluffy af actually all comfort & barely any hurt //

"Listen, uh...do you think I could maybe...take you out...sometime?”

Spencer frowns. “What do you mean?”

“Snipe you. No. What do you think? To dinner or something.”

Spencer wakes up in Derek Morgan's bed. He tries to sneak out without waking him.

He fails, and he winds up staying for breakfast out of common courtesy (and maybe something else).

Set season 1. Tooth-rotting sweet.

Following a Bright Shiny Thing by travelinthedark // Hotchreid but genuinely the whole team’s dynamic is what shines in this // One-shot // 5k // yes it has a lot of kudos // yes it deserves all of them

Wherein Reid feels like 6th grade girl, the girls squeel from time to time, and there are little blue drinks. 

WIPS I’m Keeping Up With: 

Dreams are Only Blue by themetaphorgirl // @themetaphorgirl​ // Alex Blake & Spencer Reid // last update: first week of October // TW: child neglect

AU. Nine-year-old Spencer Reid is brilliant, but he's too young to fully grasp the trauma threatening to bury him. Alex Blake buried her nine-year-old son and accepted that she just wasn't meant to be a mother. The BAU team takes on a case that ends up throwing them together, and Spencer is sent to live with Alex and her husband, and everything changes.

(this is the Spencer Blake AU)

Where Have You Bean All My Life? By agib // @ag-ib // Moreid // last update: the end of September

It's rare enough that anyone on the team has to take on undercover work for more than a single night, and even more uncommon that the CIA happens to be splitting a case with the FBI.

So, really, Morgan shouldn't complain. But he does, and he's wholeheartedly dedicated to hating this assignment up until the damn college kid, who looks like he survives on coffee alone, bustles into the café.

Full Series I Rec:

Undercover Pretty Boy by 898700 (ghostwriter) // Completed // Moreid leaning? // Undercover CIA model AU which inspired the whump moreid 5k I have written & will maybe one of these days post (rippppppp) 

Ag-ib’s Whumptober // Ongoing // general TW bc dark themes for Whumptober

Appalachian’s Whumptober // @appalachianapologies​ // Ongoing // general TW bc dark themes for Whumptober

Happy reading!

ps: I actually wrote a moreid (Ex-CIA undercover model!Reid) one shot too if that’s something you’d be interested in!!

[luvervinyl]

same anon!! okay, so I get that Morgan left to be with his new family (I don’t ship moreid, but kudos to those who do! I respect you), but what I really don’t understand is why Reid was so upset about it?? I get that so many people have been ripped away from him (his dad, gideon, maeve, emily, hotch) but morgan literally just left the BAU?? He wasn’t shot or anything?? And it isn’t life he moved across the country— boi probably lives like 15-20 minutes away, Reid could visit him whenever he wanted to! I just don’t get it??

if we're going by canon, then I see why because they were like "brothers" and they were close friends so I can see how having a brother-like figure and friend that you've worked with for years having left can be hard. also morgan was a protector to him and he's lost protectors before as that person in an episode asked !!  

so I get that having morgan by him for years then having him leave would have a toll on him so I get why he was upset about it !! but yeah he did just move 15-20 minutes away but that's different from getting to see morgan everyday for multiple hours a day. but that's okay for you to have your own opinion on this, you're entitled to that !! 

if we're talking moreid. I can see how it would be harder !!  like his lover in this case leaving to be with his family and once again reid has lost protectors before and that still qualifies for this case !! so like if you were to view it from a romantic stand point it would definitely make more sense for why he was so upset (to me at least). 

also given that morgan also had a job and their schedules are pretty rough he can't exactly go see him whenever he wanted !! it would most definitely be hard to do that. on another note stan one(1) bisexual king named derek morgan !!
