Summary
"Mike could reason a lot away.
He'd been having nightmares since the day Will went missing, and headaches and even nosebleeds were symptoms of sleep deprivation and stress, both of which weren't exactly uncommon occurrences in his life. He hadn't heard any clock, and he thinks he'd know if he'd been hunted by a monster from another dimension - probably.
But Mike was also not a complete idiot - usually - and he was good at recognising patterns.Most damming of all, all of this had stopped practically the second he left Hawkins.
This fucking town."
Aka my rewrite of season five, featuring Mike being vecna'd and very slowburn very angsty Byler.
How long will it take Mike to tell someone he is being hunted and psychologically tortured by an interdimensional monster?
Longer than you'd think. -

Summary
The aftermath of Revelations
Spencer is struggling after Tobias, his coping methods are....subpar.
He felt exposed, raw, vulnerable - everyone gave him these knowing looks when his hands shook too much to continue geographical profiles, or when he stood up and had to pause for a moment to catch himself on the table.
They looked at him confused, however, when he left the bathroom stalls looking calmer, more collected (more unaware and much, much, much higher).Or: Spencer isn't coping after being back at work - to try to avoid slipping further into drug addiction he swaps it for another.

Summary
First meetings are hard. Especially when you're a good decade or more younger than your coworkers.
Spencer understands why people are a bit concerned about an 18 year old kid joining the FBI but after fighting tooth and nail to get here - even if in the end its his run ins with the law that ironically got him a place at this table - he's determined to make a good start to this job."Slow down you crazy child,
you're so ambitious for a juvenile
but then if you're so smart
tell me why are you still so afraid"Latest edit - 18 of August 2025

Summary
The immediate aftermath of Revelations.
Tobias Hankle took his last breath, his eyes glazing over as Spencer's filled with tears.
Distantly he could hear his team's footsteps coming closer, the calls of his name slowing and coming to a stop. He paid them no mind. His attention was fixed on the eyes of the serial killer, who had kidnapped, tortured, and even killed him; but also the eyes of a scared, traumatized boy who needed help.
Spencers help.
Tobias died and the last scraps of Spencer's innocence, and his promise to save them both began to rot.Title from the Noah Kahan song

Summary
Spencer writes a report on the Hankel case.
Technically this takes place after revelations but aside from flashbacks this will probably be all I write that summarises what happens when Reid is kidnapped so I suppose you can read this before the previous fic in the series.
There are a few changes because I'm apparently miserable and want my boy Reid to be as bad as possible - the main difference is that he is there for 4 days instead of 2 in this fic.

Summary
L.D.S.K aftermath for Spencer Reid.
Hotch wasn't like his dad, he wouldn't kick him until he blacked out or heard something snap, wouldn't break his new glasses which were so stupid but he'd only just brought them and mom would be upset -
Hotch clearly wasn't William Reid. So why did Spencer feel the need to keep reminding himself that?AN: Has slight Spencelle (this au has that), but can be read as just very good friends if you prefer.
I obviously don't own Criminal Minds or the characters in it
