Gotham isn't prepared.
(Part of my Networking series which fleshes out a Roy-Bernard-Jason friendship, but can easily be read as a standalone)

Summary
Three Reids and a Matthew walk into a bullpen.
The universe tries not to implode.
(Not RPF.)
-_-
The Reids looked at each other.
“This is incredible,” said the younger Reid. “Everything I’ve read about time travel suggests that we should be very careful about what you touch and how you interact with this dimension, because your atoms are unstable and even the slightest wrong move could cause the universe to collapse.”
He said this matter-of-factly as both Reids reached their fingers towards each other.
“Don’t!” shouted Hotch and Morgan. JJ gasped. Elle and Gideon looked intrigued.
Two long, thin index fingers met.

Summary
Reid is kidnapped. A body is found, mutilated beyond recognition, wearing Reid's clothes and carrying his beloved satchel. The team mourns.
Reid, very much alive, saves himself.
-_-
This unsub clearly hadn’t done his research before picking Spencer Reid to abduct. He might be the youngest and least-experienced FBI agent, with the worst hand-to-hand skills and a barely-there firearms qualification…
But he was also their only magician.

Summary
Admittedly, drawing the unsub's attention to himself was less than ideal, but Reid could hardly sit back and let JJ or Prentiss be targeted instead.
or:
After Hankel, Reid is self-sacrificing to the point of being self-destructive. The team hates it.

Summary
Bad things happen to Spencer Reid, but he's a badass and can handle it. Right?
or:
BAU Team: Please stop being so self-sacrificing.
Reid: Instructions unclear. Did you mean, hurl myself at danger?or:
The team is captured by sexual sadists. Reid decides he's the most expendable team member.

Summary
He forced himself to forget the way Ethan used to kiss him, hands tangled in his hair and eyelashes fluttering against his cheek. He forced himself to forget the way that Ethan would hold him in his twin bed in their tiny flat off campus all those years ago. He didn't, couldn't, remember the way Ethan had made him feel.
After all, they're just friends, and friends don't think like that.
Or; Spencer is a profiler, so he should really know if he's dating someone or not.

Truly the best representation of autistic dating confusion I've ever read.

Summary
“It's okay. You're just nervous.” She leaned in again, stopping when her lips brushed his. “Just relax.”
The press of her mouth against his chased away any other protests. JJ was pretty, and he liked her. And she seemed to like him, too. He would be foolish to turn her away.
Right?
or
A sober Spencer brings a drunk JJ home, where she invites him in for a drink. Or rather, she invites him in and gets him drunk. And then starts pushing the boundaries.
