Summary
Morgan saw the panic on Reid’s face. “Weapons down! Weapons down, now!” Morgan commanded as he holstered his own gun and stepped in between the SWAT members and Reid. SWAT reluctantly lowered their guns, but remained on alert.
Morgan approached Reid slowly.“Reid? What’s happening? Talk to me.” Morgan forced himself to sound calm despite that fact that he now recognized the thing in his best friend’s hands to be a live grenade with no pin.
OR
My take on s11e01 The Job, but Reid is the one who has the grenade stuck in his hands.

Summary
Reid didn’t even realize he still had his phone in his hand until it buzzed again. He immediately hit the decline button. Not two seconds later, it buzzed for a fourth time. Still Morgan. He’s not going to stop until I pick up. Goddamnit.
“What?” Reid barked into the phone as he picked up the call. He did not care how annoyed he sounded, in fact he hoped that came across loud and clear.

Summary
“Sir…” Garcia sat frozen, shocked at the video feed that had just popped up on her many screens. This can’t be happening again.
The video focused on Reid. He lay on his stomach, hogtied tightly enough to be rendered immobile. Duct tape was wrapped several times around his head, covering his eyes, ears, and mouth.
The small rise and fall of Reid’s shoulders was the only indication they had that Reid was even alive. He was breathing quickly, Hotch noted. In pain? Panic? Probably both.
”Garcia, get everyone else here right now.” Hotch ordered.
OR
Reid’s been abducted. Hogtied and suffering from sensory deprivation, the team needs to find him quickly before he’s too far gone to be helped.

Summary
“You okay?” Morgan asked, a questioning and concerned look on his face.
Reid met Morgan’s gaze. “I… I don’t think so,” Reid responded stiffly.
Morgan frowned and studied Reid’s head wound. “How hard did he hit you, Reid?”
Reid spoke again, eyebrows raised as if in surprise. “I think there’s… There’s something in my back, Morgan.”
OR
Reid is injured in the process of taking down an unsub.

Summary
It was not a victory for Reid. It was a wound that cut far deeper that he would’ve cared to admit. Nobody had died, but he would never forget the way Adam Jackson’s broken stare vanished for the last time. Adam was dead, all the same as if they’d put a bullet in him themselves, and Spencer couldn’t bring himself to grin and lie and say that was good enough.
Or: a fix-it fic for that time Reid told Morgan he was suffering residual guilt for killing the man who tortured him and Morgan’s solution was to say ‘Lol we can’t save everyone’ and move on.Series

Summary
“Hotch?” Morgan’s voice cracks over his shoulder.
With hands he’ll forever deny are shaking, Hotch reaches up and presses two fingers to Spencer’s carotid, even though he can feel him breathing. It’s faster than he would like, but it’s there, and it’s strong. “He’s okay, just unconscious,” he assures his other agent, whose hands hover over Spencer’s back like he’s afraid to touch him.
Gideon steps closer, reaching for one of Spencer’s arms. “Here, I’ll take—”
Hotch doesn’t let him finish the sentence, crouching down so he can hook one arm under Spencer’s knees, careful to keep the other supporting his back, then lifts him slowly. Sleeping people are heavy, and his ageing knees complain as he returns to a standing position, but he doesn’t blink.
Or: After being rescued from Hankel, Reid makes the perfectly reasonable decision to take a quick nap. So what if it's a little sudden and in the arms of his boss?
