Summary
When the words 'victim' and 'profiler' can describe the same person, what is left of who you once were within the worst paradox the BAU has ever known?
In the wake of surviving Hankel, Dr. Spencer Reid is prescribed Vyvanse and Klonopin to manage the chaos of newly diagnosed mental health conditions. The doctors weren’t wrong—but neither was he for leaning on the pills a little harder than most would understand. Vyvanse sharpens him into the most efficient profiler the BAU has ever seen. Klonopin blunts the jagged edges of trauma, keeping flashbacks just out of reach. Spencer isn’t abusing his meds—he’s surviving. Using intellect as armor against a past too brutal to face—a past explicitly detailed in a case file with his name on it, barely buried beneath the stack of the other usual case files that littered his desk, hidden in plain sight like everything else in his life these past few months.This story takes place in early 2007 and serves as a rewritten and reimagined aftermath of the events depicted in the mid-season two episodes "The Big Game" and "Revelations".

Five Times Reid Thought About The Premise (+1 Time He Was Unashamed In Doing So) by MushroomRotten

Summary
Reid writes Kirk/Spock fic as a secret personal hobby, and often thinks about The Premise to pass the time.
Each 5+1 scene begins with an excerpt from Reid's own (often mentally written) K/S fic, then transitions into what happens when he's eventually forced to tune back in to the real world around him— and how blind he is to the fact that his thoughts about his favorite Star Trek ship may have more parallels with his personal life than he realizes.
“Spock!” Kirk raises his voice in horror. “I will not be hearing any last words! We'll have time for this conversation on the ship, damn it!"
“You can't be certain, Jim,” Spock counters, and the use of his first name stirs a strange wrestling of emotion in Kirk's brain. “There have been many moments in our friendship that have given me an unfamiliar feeling of pause,” says Spock, undeterred, “Surely, you h
"That doesn't look work-related."
Reid jumped in his seat at the sound of Hotch's voice, hitting the ALT and TAB keys on his computer in a near-instantaneous reaction before noticing the way his heart had started hammering in his chest.

It started small: a glance too long, a hand that lingered, a question neither could ask. But as the months dragged on, longing became a constant ache — the kind you don’t talk about because if you did, you might never stop.
He wanted to know her scars. She hid them behind laughter.
She wanted someone to see her. He looked too closely.Through unspoken truths, late-night near-kisses, and mistakes they couldn’t take back, they waited for the right time. But the right time never came.
Until the silence finally broke.
