    Summary

    A kidnapped victim. The race to find her. The battle to keep hope alive while she is.

    Spencer Reid has never had the best interpersonal skills. But he's very good at his job. Early in his career with the BAU, when a woman is abducted and a livestream of her is plastered all over the Internet, he is determined to bring her home. Reid has yet to have had the privilege of bringing someone home alive. This one has to be the one who lives...

    Or,

    The one where Spencer saves a woman and then she saves him from himself in return.

    Warnings for violence, abuse, mental illness in the Unsub, substance abuse. Fic spans around pre season 1 to season 5. Ish.

    I'm super bad at summaries, sorry! Edit: Tried to rework the summary, I don't think it helped. Gack. Honestly, how to condense a fic that's been rolling around in your head for years down into a teensy blurb? How do proper authors do this?! Please just come have a peek if you want Spencer warm and fuzzies/feels. I made this with love and caffeine.
