Welcome to the ring. We hope you enjoy the show!

@mcytblraufest

thank yous and bonus fic beneath the cut (very long)

many many MANY MANY MANYYYYYYY thanks to:

the mod team for organizing and running the event. i'm unbelievably grateful for the time and effort it must have taken to keep all of this up and running, so thank you for fuelling this creation of ours <3

@bioluminescentfrog also for listening to me yap. i appreciate it goat <3

@goober890 again, ALSO for listening to me yap. i know i put you through intense torture talking about it. but it's here now. i appreciate you so much - you're one of the people who can boast of having read my works before i shifted focus. thank you thank you thank you <3333333333 the happiest of birthdays to you :3 (everybody wish him happy birthday right NEOW)

all of mcsrblr for having to put up with me going on about the fic. it must have been exasperating. sorry about hiraeth's multiple month hiatus. i love you mcsr - don't you ever stop being awesome ppflower

and last but most of all,

kier @im-bored-so-i-draw.

it has been the pleasure of a lifetime writing this au. i can still remember going fucking insane over whether i would get your frankly absolutely stunning gorgeous art. and then i did and it was absolutely unreal. when i walked into this i didn't expect to produce what i ended up producing. i never would've dreamed of writing a 22k+ fic in 2 months.

and kier, you have GOT to know this, half of the writing was done by you. if not in reality, then in spirit - all those times i thought i was going insane by staring at the doc, you pulled me out of it. i am absolutely, eternally grateful for your consistent presence throughout this entire journey. because that's what it was, wasn't it? a journey, starting with new beginnings and ending with - if i allow myself not to be modest for a moment - a masterpiece. this is my longest work to date. and i have you to thank for that. from complaining endlessly in the google doc to watching httyd together, you have been there the whole time, and i cannot stress enough how absolutely wonderful all this has been.

so thank you. thank you! thank you for everything. thank you for starting this gorgeous au with your art, and thank you for making it come alive in the same way. your art is absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, impeccably beautiful. i am in love with it.

thank you for choosing to participate in the aufest at all, and thank you for supporting me as i mentally collapsed struggled to write halfway through. thank you for your patience, and kindness, and all those words and emotes and gifs - they mean so much, and i will forever be grateful.

i could not have done this without you, kier. we've made it, see? we've made it! look how far we have come. only the Universe can see how thankful i am. i love you because you are love. you are one of the kindest, most brilliant people i have ever interacted with. remember that.

i hope the future holds more for the both of us. i absolutely hope that we will immediately recollab on - gets shot and dies

but i couldn't let this go without gifting you something you haven't seen yet. so. just for you, have silverrreign's side of the story.

enjoy :3 (for those who are not kier please read the main fic first there are spoilers 😭)

Eight Ways to Say I Love You

A/N: This was an anon request saying I should do a piece based on the gifsets I posted of Spencer/Derek and Emily/JJ that said “eight ways to say I love you” but with Spencer x Reader in mind. This is the reader recounting things she and Spencer did for each other that said I Love You without actually saying it. Enjoy! @coveofmemories

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

Saying the words isn’t the only way to communicate how much you love someone. Even the smallest of gestures can say so much. After 10 years with your husband, Spencer still surprised you every day with the myriad of ways he could say I love you. You always endeavored to do the same - that’s what made a relationship last.

---

When you first started dating, seriously it was after the third date, you ended up coming down with a wicked case of the flu. After he got out of work, Spencer came over with a bowl of soup from the place you loved around the corner from his job. You hadn’t asked him to come - honestly, you didn’t really want him to. One, you were sick and didn’t want to contaminate him and two, you’d only just started dating, so him seeing you so disgusting was embarrassing. But he didn’t miss a beat, ensuring that when you ran to the toilet to puke your guts up, your hair wouldn’t get dirty. For hours, he said nothing, just sat at your side on the bathroom floor holding your hair back and rubbing your back. You’d only been dating for about two and half to three weeks at the time - but that’s when you knew he was the one.

---

Three months later, Spencer was getting called away on case after case. He was away for nearly six weeks and the night he was coming back, you knew you would have to do an overnight at the hospital. Since you couldn’t be there when he got back, and you hadn’t seen him in forever, you spent every free moment you had in the few days before his return cooking his favorite meals - six to be precise, one for every week he was gone.

After hours upon hours of cooking, you made your way over to Spencer’s apartment with the help of Penelope, who had been able to return home after the previous case. With chicken farm, stir fry, inside-out bacon cheeseburgers, chicken marsala, pork chops, meatloaf and a giant chocolate cake in hand, you filled up his refrigerator. As Penelope left the apartment, ensuring you’d also make her a chocolate cake, you sat down to write Spencer a note.

Hey babe,

I wish I could be home when you got back, but the hospital calls. Enjoy what’s inside and know how much I’ve missed you while you were gone!

Y/N

You hadn’t yet said those three little words, but you felt them; you just happened to be a bit of a traditionalist, wanting him to say it first. Before you left, you kissed the paper with your lipstick and stuck the note on the refrigerator door.

Hours later, when Spencer finally returned home, it was nearly 3 AM and you were at your wits end at the hospital. The only thing that kept you going that night was a picture of Spencer practically sticking his face in the chocolate cake you made him - with a note at the bottom that said ‘I love you.’

---

Loving someone can mean doing something they love whether you love it or not. It can mean the biggest of things or the smallest of things.

Soon after he returned home, you went out to a Thai place that you both loved. At the end of the night, after filling yourselves up with pad thai, chicken for you and shrimp for him, you both wanted the same dessert. Khao Neow Ma Muang was a sticky rice dessert with mango and coconut milk that you’d both fallen in love with when he took you there for your first date. Problem was, there was only enough left for one person. Without thinking, you told Spencer he could have it and ordered a banana dish instead. He didn’t know, but you’d been craving that mango dessert.

Before the dessert came to the table, you excused yourself to go to the bathroom, but upon your return the desserts were there - half of your plate was the dessert you ordered and the other half was the mango one you’d let Spencer have.

“You can have half,” he insisted. “You looked like you really wanted it.”

---

Spencer loved his job, but the downside was how often it took him away from you. You loved him, and he was constantly in danger. Just before he proposed (only seven months after you met), he was called away on yet another case - this unsub was targeting law enforcement - and you were terrified.

He was keeping you updated, but it did nothing to lessen your fear. One night when you couldn’t sleep, scared you wouldn’t hear from him the next day, you called; he was still at the station. “Hey babe,” you said, your heart practically beating out of your chest. “I know your busy so I won’t keep you long, but I’m freaking out tonight, so...can you call me when you get back to the hotel? I just wanna know you’re okay.”

“Of course,” he replied, “It’s nice to know you worry.”

“Always.”

---

After his proposal, you both apparently freaked out about writing vows (Penelope would late tell you that both you and Spencer came to her in a panic about the vows). On the day, you both looked at your vows over and over again. Even as you walked down the aisle, you wondered whether or not you should change them - but that fear went away as soon as you both started speaking. You cried like a baby; not as much because of the words themselves, but because you both said many of the same things. The one big one - My world is better with you in it.

---

Your proposal, engagement and wedding went by in the blink of an eye - before you knew it, it was over and you were back to the day-to-day life with you at the hospital and him at the BAU. For nearly four months after you tied the knot, you passed by each other, him working during the day and you at night. Then finally you had the same few days off. Nearly the entire night, you sat on the couch - no television in the background, no food, no sex - just talking.

As you were on your way to the bedroom, tired after talking for nearly six hours, Spencer said something that stuck with you to this day.

“I miss this, you know? Talking to you.” To you, it just pointed out how little you actually to do to make each other happy.

---

Two years after you got married, you found out you were pregnant. Spencer had always wanted children, so when you saw the positive sign, you freaked out, running around the house and jumping up and down like a mad-woman - you figured Spencer would react much the same way.

But that night, upon his return home, you surprised him with a birthday card. It was actually his birthday - but at the end, you’d signed it Y/N and Baby Reid. As he read the words, he looked from the card to you and immediately broke down in tears, saying nothing, and just kissing your stomach.

---

Ten years and three kids later, your lives had changed a lot. Most of it for the better. There were still those times you passed by each other because your schedules were at opposite times and with three young children in the house, you didn’t get as much time together as you used to, but you made it work.

Tonight was one of the first nights that both of you would be home, so you originally figured you’d be able to spend some time together after the kids went to bed.

But Spencer had called your parents and asked them to babysit the kids for the night. “I’ve missed you. I want tonight to be about us.”

---

Even after ten years, you could still find unique ways to say I love you.
