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.

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.

"I hope she was worth it." Rossi said, taking a sip of his coffee.
Morgan joined in, a smile on his face. "I hope it was a she."
(An episode-AU of 3x16, wherein Reid is gay and his sexuality played a large part in the bullying he endured when he was younger. Morgan's comment hits a bit too close to home)

Summary
"What were you saying earlier, about the first transformation sequence?"
Reid stops walking and turns to face her, brows furrowed. "You asked me to stop talking about that."
"Only because we were in a movie theatre. I'm interested."
His brows furrow further, eyes narrowing as well like he's trying to suss out whether or not she's lying to him, and then drift over her shoulder, to some point behind her, and widen.
She frowns, turning around and trying to follow his gaze, but she can't figure out what he's looking at. There are still quite a lot of people milling about even at this late hour, though she supposes that's Vegas—or the outskirts of Vegas—for you, but nobody looks at all threatening. The most out-of-place person is a sharply-dressed man carrying a briefcase amongst all the people in going-out attire, but it's not like he's brandishing a weapon at them. "Reid, what—"
"Dad?"
OR: William Reid is a terrible parent, and Emily Prentiss is a wonderful friend.

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?

Summary
He has to cut this thing out from him. It’s a fungus growing and spreading and rotting inside of him. It started empty, dormant, and as he got older and far more ridiculed and seen, that dormant thing took over the space hollowed out in his chest and made it its own. If someone offered him a scalpel, he might try to cut carefully around it, extract every piece of the fungus and leave a gaping hole that he could fill with something. Anything.
Sometimes Spencer wishes he could tear this part of him out; little does he know that thing is his autism. He learns to live alongside it.

Summary
“Is the Red Hood’s helmet watertight?” someone asked, and Jason was cold and dripping and on the ground next to Dick and he wasn’t breathing.
“No,” Tim’s voice was tight.
“We need to take it off,” Lagoon Boy's words were met by a handful of yells, both in person and through the comms.
“This is the Red Hood,” Shazam said. “They say he has explosives in his helmet. It might explode if you try to take it,”
“Seriously?”
Dick reached towards the helmet to unlock it with trembling hands, to everyone’s alarm.
“The explosives.” Superboy interjected.
“Connor,” Tim cut in sharply. “We know what we’re doing,”I had thoughts about Jason being super cagey about his identity as the Red Hood to the point that he has explosives in his helmet to prevent people from taking it off, and the vulnerability of the Batfam members knowing the ins and outs of his helmet and how to take it off despite it all.
