    Summary

    He can hear voices outside, and a sound that bears a striking resemblance to Morgan’s laughter. Forty four percent of incarcerated people have some kind of mental illness. It’s not surprising his mind is resorting to something that sounds comforting from before, he’s probably suffering some kind of break right now, in the after. Still, the memory of the sound curls itself under the throbbing of his traitorous heart trying to escape the confines of his ribcage. Perhaps there was something to be said about how the memory of Morgan’s laughter could still do this to him after all this time. Then again, this too, should be familiar. He’s always been powerless in the face of that thousand watt smile, more so when it was directed at him – toothy, and blinding.

     

    or, Derek makes breakfast for Spencer and his mother. Somewhere in between sharing meals and showing up, they find their way back to each other.

    Summary

    Movement near the door draws his attention. He tilts his head, smiling softly when he sees Derek standing in the doorway, holding a tray filled to the brim with healthy foods and a big glass of orange juice.

    "Good morning, pretty boy," Derek whispers, walking over to his side of the bed. He sets the tray down on the side table, helping Spencer prop himself up against the headboard. Spencer's heart flutters in his chest as Derek makes sure to support his back with many, many pillows.

    "Good morning." Spencer rasps, wincing as the action scratches at his throat.

    "Oh, baby…" Derek murmurs, laying his hand across Spencer's forehead as he situates himself on the edge of the bed, "You sound horrible."

    or: Spencer is sick. Derek takes care of him.

    Summary

    In the quiet hours after a night that nearly broke them, the BAU begins to breathe again. Across the city, sunlight touches hospital rooms, kitchens, and cluttered desks alike — small sanctuaries where exhaustion gives way to relief. Through text messages, half-finished coffee, and quiet ritual, each member of the team finds their own way back to stillness, to connection, and to the fragile, enduring rhythm of family.

    It’s not the storm they’ll remember, but the morning that followed.

    Summary

    No access allowed,” a deep voice drawls.

    Spencer tilts his head, a shy smile curving at his lips and he softens his gaze. “Oh,” he mumbles, “I didn’t realise it was private access.”

    The man just grunts.

    “But actually, I need to speak with your manager, maybe he mentioned that I was coming?”

    He hadn’t, why would he? Spencer has never met the man before but that’s part of this whole act he’s trying to play.

    The man finally looks at him, lip curling in disbelief. “Hmm, no.”

    Or the one where Spencer goes half undercover and attempts to get in Derek’s bar but ends up falling victim for Morgan’s flirty, charming ways and forgets why he was there in the first place.

    Summary

    “You’re okay. You’re okay. Oh God Spencer.” Derek curled in on himself. It wasn’t often he got nightmares about anything other than Buford, and nowadays even those were few and far between. He’d almost forgotten what it felt like to wake up to all-consuming fear wracking his bones, his soul.

    Summary

    "I love our jobs, but I wish we were back in Italy," Spencer murmurs, smiling wistfully.

    Derek pulls him in, kissing him slow and sweet until it coaxes a moan out of Spencer.

    "I was just thinking about that," he admits, admiring the flush that paints Spencer's cheeks.

    "No reason I can't wake you up like I used to," Spencer says, grinning slyly, eyes glinting with mischief.

    The combination of leftover sleep in his body, the syrupy nature of time on their day off, and the look in Spencer's eyes has heat pooling at the base of his spine.

    Summary

    Reid rolled his eyes. “Derek, I’m perfectly capable of taking care of myself, you know. I don’t need you to mother me.”

    Morgan let out a sigh. “I’m not ‘mothering’ you. I just want to make sure you’re okay. Because you don’t look it.” He stroked a hand through Reid’s hair, but Reid pulled his head away dodging the contact.

    “I already said I’m fine.”

    Summary

    Whoops, he thinks after a moment's delay, that’s not good.

    Clearly Michael had known how to angle his knife upward, making it seem like he’d punched Spencer in the gut to hide the fact that he’d stabbed him.

    “Fuck,” Morgan swears at the sight of thick blood coating Spencer’s hand, previously hidden by his black button up and FBI vest. “Hotch! I need an ambulance here stat, Reid’s been hit!”

    Morgan’s face blurs out of focus again, the last thing Spencer sees is his look of panic and utter fear as Spencer sways, face losing all his colour as he goes down.

    Or the one where Spencer gets stabbed by an unsub without realising and Derek has a bloody heart attack about it. For the prompt hurt/comfort for #Moreidweek2025 day one.

    Summary

    “Okay, okay.” He whispered, more to calm himself than anything. “You’re gonna be alright. You hear me? You’re gonna be fine.”

    Reid’s face was pale, his mouth slightly parted. Morgan leaned close, brushing his knuckles along Reid’s cheekbone, then down to his jaw. He kissed the corner of his mouth softly, his lips trembling.

    “You’re not allowed to leave me.” He murmured. “Not ever.”

    Summary

    "I don't like lemon." Spencer murmured, taking a sip of his too-bitter coffee. Derek frowned, subconsciously pushing a few sugar packets towards him. Derek leant back and shrugged, It doesn't matter that he saw Spencer scoff down that same cake at Penelope's birthday a couple years prior, and it doesn't matter that they both remember it and know he's, for some god-forsaken reason, lying.

    Summary

    Spencer isn't sure he ever really knew a time before wanting to die.

    Logically he knows there must have been. Children aren't inherently born with that desire. But he can't pinpoint a specific moment where he became aware of it. Where he didn't have the List.

    Now it's simply a fact of life. Get up. Go to work. Come home. Consult the List, the Pros and Cons of continued existence. Make coffee. Have dinner. Sleep.

    Spencer had always found just enough reasons to keep living, tenuous though they were at times. Then Emily dies.

    Summary

    Morgan’s mouth drops. Knowing Reid, he typically puts up a fight but his swift acquiescence is more concerning than it is relieving. “Oh, baby boy…why didn’t you say anything? Do you need something? Blanket? Tea? Hazmat suit?”

    Reid waves a hand. “No, no, no, no. I’m okay, I’m just a little under the weather.” 

    Morgan notices that Reid is acting off. Spencer needs a damn nap.

    sicktember prompt: 12. “You are adorable when you’re sick.”

    Summary

    Spencer's voice was low, a tired murmur, and he still couldn't tear his eyes away from the steadily darkening sky. He eventually decided to lay back. Let the earth swallow him whole if it so wished. He'd be okay with that.
