    Summary

    The realization of exactly how long he’d been awake and working immediately made itself known in his headache, his stiff shoulders, his weak knees. He gripped the table, willing his body to stay upright against the sudden wave of exhaustion. He was fine. All he needed was a large cup of coffee and an extra strength Advil.

    He was fine.

    Or

    Spencer can’t sleep. What happens when you cross an exhausted genius with his family?

    Summary

    It had to be some kind of afterlife or complex hallucination to be back in the BAU conference room, one very dead Jason Gideon rounding the table with a decade-old case conversation on his lips.

    Or: the one in which mid-prison arc season 12 Reid travels back in time to mid-addiction arc season 2 Reid and team, season 12 Reid thinks he’s hallucinating and is more or less helpful than he could be, in the meantime the team puts 2 and 2 together and gets 21, and somehow this still ends up changing the timeline for the better.

    Featuring: an intervention for season 2 Reid, multiple collective heart attacks for season 2 team, and eventual healing for season 12 Reid.

    Summary

    After a lifetime of feeling like he didn’t fit in, Dr Spencer Reid had finally hit his stride. He was the FBI’s youngest-ever recruit, a valuable member of the BAU and he even had a few people he could call friends. Life was looking up.

    Then Gideon leaves with nothing but a letter in a cold, empty cabin, sending Reid into a spiral of self-loathing as his old demons resurface and he struggles to navigate new challenges.

    With his physical, mental and emotional wellbeing on the line, will the team realise they are missing the signs of what's really going on before it's too late?
