I try not to write smut, but when I do, the post will be flagged for explicit content. I might incorporate a kink in a writing in a non explicit manner such as dollplay simply be dressing reader/character up, this will be tagged as a full kink. I occasionally will write whump, this can include topics such as non consentual bondage, non consentual kissing, occasional mentions of nudity both consentual and not, yet I will not write actual noncon sex (I do not feel confident or comfortable writing true noncon and most likely won't on this blog) and topics such as physical and mental torture. This blog will talk about unhealthy relationships through whump, if you are struggling with these in real life, know you are not alone and that there is help, such as obsessive behavior and some forms of manipulation, I do not write the majority of 'x readers' as abusive unless whump, of which I prefer to write softer whumps due to our inexperience with the genre. Most readers are gender neutral. I will always write for all types of fashions and presentations.

TL;DR

Yes:

Whump

Psychological and physical abuse

Non-sexually explicit kinks

No:

True non-con

Do you have some spicy headcanons about shanks? I know that man is WILD

Sorry I've been sitting on this one for a couple of days til I was in better spirits o u o I think you're right, he's QUITE wild, or at least he was in his 20s - early 30s to the point where he's amassed a nigh-encyclopedic repertoire of sexual prowess and knowledge!!

My NSFW Shanks headcanons under the cut (or some of them at least):

As stated I think that man has explored and indulged to his heart's content over the course of his time as an active pirate.

I don't think that's ever been impacted by the other person's (or other people's, depend on the night) gender, although if you asked him about his preferences I think he'd just give you a big ol' laugh and a wink.

THE munch of all time imo, the only thing he enjoys more is making out, he'd have you for breakfast lunch dinner AND dessert if you let him, and as it is he generally will just lay there lapping orgasms out of you until you're so mushy-brained and boneless you can barely manage to tug on him to get him to stop it lmfao.

I think he's perfectly happy to give you anything you want, whatever position you prefer he'll enjoy and blow your back out in, he's happy for things to be slow and sensual, light and silly, or a little more rough and intense, bc at the end of the day I feel like your pleasure is what's far more rewarding for him.

That being SAID, he does have a preference for positions where he can see your face; nothing gets Shanks hotter, makes him feel safer, or makes him cum like being able to press his forehead against yours and see every little expression you make while you're falling apart with him. He's loving and romantic above p much all else in my eyes.

His commitment is with and for you, though he's perfectly open to bringing in a third if you're interested. (He's also perfectly fine with it only ever being the two of you, if that's how you're most secure. Again, he's with you, everything else is just confetti.)

Don't let his kinda lazy silly mirthful ways or the fact that he's pushing 40 fool you. While not every single session is gonna be multiple rounds, he absolutely can and WILL wring you out like a wet washcloth should the need or desire arise.

VERY talkative. Tells you how much you mean to him, how much he adores you, how good you're making him feel, coos at you about how good you're feeling, moans and gasps and murmurs just the most insanely, unfairly delicious things to you, as if he's not already turning you into jelly. And when you factor in the scritch of his beard or how incredible his voice is...

Generally speaking again he's perfectly happy to finish wherever and however you'd prefer, but his preference is pretty much always to cum inside you. It feels more intimate, draws things out for you both, and lets him stay pressed up flush and connected for a bit of cuddles afterwards.

Aftercare is really gentle and loving and good too, he's gonna get you cleaned up, he's got water and little snacks on deck, he'll happily draw up a bath in his big ol' basin tub and soak with you while you both come down from it. Again, VERY vocal about checking in with you, letting you know he's good, and making sure you feel loved and secure. He's very spicy for sure but he's also such a sweetie at the end of the day.

Sorry that went on forever and I still probably left a bunch out, but I hope this will suffice for now!!! <3

are you the "if it's immoral irl, it's not okay to enjoy in fiction", "everything is allowed in fiction, because it's not real life", or the non-secret third thing? :thinking: emoji

i started typing the reply to this ask like 10 times bc i wanna be very careful about how i word this but basically i’m picking the secret third option lol

i have noticed that the debate around issues like this has become more and more polarised and black and white online which is uhm. not good. neither of the first two stances presuppose to actually tackle the alleged taboo topic from a critical perspective. like, why is X topic considered immoral? by whom? why did the author include this taboo topic? how is it presented in the media i am consuming? am i supposed to enjoy it, or feel repulsed by it, or something else? does this problematic topic have a narrative purpose? if so, is it presented well? is the narrative glorifying this topic? no?

some potentially triggering topics discussed under the cut

like, look at rgu!! the show has so many taboo topics (incest, grooming, csa, amongst others), and all these topics are brought into the plot to expose how the patriarchy oppresses and exploits kids and women to maintain the power balance. these topics were discussed and tackled graphically, but it was not in vain. it made rgu a very hard watch. after watching the episode where akio assaults utena, i literally felt so sick i started crying. i am still glad the show tackled these topics. did it always do so perfectly? no! is it then romanticising these topics and saying it’s “okay”? also no!!

this ask is about ave mujica episode 11 and my comments on it so here we go. i genuinely think it was a great episode - the parallels to tomori’s backstory episode (tomori open and showing us from her pov, uika/hatsune acting for us on stage), the acting, directing, stylistic choices, and overall settings and script were brilliant. i think that hatsune being related to sakiko adds so much depth to her character and her obsession with sakiko. it was always sick. the episode before the reveal, the authors made sure to show us how toxic and twisted uika’s obsession with sakiko is - she stole her stage clothes to make a mannequin and slept next to it, wrote obsessive lyrics fantasising about confining and weakening her. and sakiko was shown being uncomfortable with this and having to put on a cold facade to take responsibility for uika’s feelings.

and imo, ep 11 made it clear to me that hatsune/uika is just. so lost. “what is this obsession if not love” is the conclusion she came to. bc sakiko represents everything that uika has never had, everything that was taken from her just bc of who she was born to. she saw sakiko as this ideal princess in a castle, and that princess was kind to her. saw her and showed her love. but hatsune was pretending to be someone else. i remember reading an interview by the director of avemuji just a few weeks ago where he mentioned that uika was the only character who written without a real life inspiration; she’s a person whose whole identity is a mask, her character is more of a concept. and what better way to explore obsession and twistedness and lack of identity and alienation than by having her be the bastard child of a rich man belonging to a rich, powerful family, rejected since birth, living with a sister and a mother and foster father and feeling so different from all of them, obsessing over the legitimate grand daughter of the father who is hiding you like a secret?

the thing is it’s been annoying me how everyone is kinda losing their minds about this reveal when it was 1. hinted at, and 2. uisaki was never a cute wholesome ship lol like just till yesterday the whole fandom was joking about hatsune kidnapping and possibly harming sakiko. does that mean people who were joking about it think that it’s okay irl? i have been in fandom for like over 15 years now and im telling you a few years ago ave mujica would have already been cancelled for having hatsune be yandere-coded. but now toxic yuri is great but only when sanitized and readily available for consumption by as wide an audience as possible (yes im blaming tiktok and capitalism). BUT LIKE. man this show is so good 😭 and the reveal makes sense and was hinted at and it adds depth to the character 😭 and uisaki was always toxic 😭😭 and the show has shown us sakiko is not that comfortable with hatsune’s feelings anyway like 😭😭😭😭😭 AND THE INFORMATION WAS PRESENTED TO THE AUDIENCE TO MAKE US UNCOMFORTABLE!!! to make us go “OH SHIT THIS IS MESSED UP!” SO WHY ARE PEOPLE SO UPSET 😭😭

do i ship uisaki now? personally no, i’m just rly hoping for hatsune and sakiko to have a heart to heart and for sakiko to accept hatsune as family and heal the fucked up shit the togawa’s have going on. have hatsune finally become herself. but it just rubs me the wrong way that people are treating this reveal purely from a shipping perspective and assuming that bc hatsune has this unhealthy attachment to sakiko, then the show was condoning incest like literally no 😭 the past few episodes have been sakiko IGNORING hatsune’s existence and hatsune literally stopped existing in the narrative outside of sakiko’s gaze while sakiko chased after mutsumi 😭😭 PLEASE

i have sm to say about uisaki but this was about fiction so i’ll reiterate: secret third option (media literacy and critical thinking skills) 🥸

I mean, if you don't want Vox, why not just let Lucifer have him? I say as though we are talking about a toy and not a whole ass man.

"We might as well be talking about a toy! He's so fun to play with!"

24. What do you want most out of life?

30. What did life teach you yesterday?

34. Describe what you want the next five years of you life to be like in a single sentence. 

and as a bonus, since that anon took 26 from me... what would that wish be, assuming things like omnipotence infinite wishes and shapeshifting aren't allowed? :3

24: happiness, for me and the people i care about most. and like also everyone else i guess.

30: i cannot recall like anything about yesterday. so uh probably nothing! i guess my belief that interacting with wider fandom spaces is a terrible idea that you should never do was reinforced? but that's not really learning anything. i knew that already. dunno if you'd call that life doing it. dunno what you'd really call life teaching something anyhow....

34: i want to be happy.

bonus: banning from answering shapeshifting, how mean. but anyways. uhhhhh. i guess teleportation? specially if i can bring other people and items with me. not exactly sure it'd be helpful for having. a permanent residency in another country. but uh. that can be figured out i think..... also assuming. i don't. need to. visit a place first. to teleport to it. i am working off the assumption that there is no caveats to the wish given. so yeah. if it's not first answer of omnipotence/infinite wishes. or second answer of shapeshifting myself & others. third answer would be teleportation of myself, people around me, and objects.

whats the word for parenting when it’s not your kid? like when u interact w a kid in a way that’s like good for their development but it’s not ur kid

well i did that when i hung out w the work gang last night. we’re all at the one adult of the groups house, his kids there, we’re playing monopoly. it’s down to just me and the dad and we’re evenly matched. but i have to leave early for work so we’re discussing who’s gonna take over my hand. one girl and the kid are considering taking over so we’re trying to get them to team up but the kid is like “i’ll play but not with her!” So i’m like “ok well i can either split everything i have into two and give you half and her half-“ and the dad, thinking i’m done, is like “we’re not doin that” but then i continue and i’m like “-and then your dad will win. ORRRR, you two can team up and take him down.” and he starts thinkin about it. I’m like that’s right dad, give me some credit. I know we’re not about to split an evenly matched two person game of monopoly into three by halving one hand, i’m not gonna just throw the game like that. im just trying to manipulate ur kid into teaming up w a girl. a clearly noble goal.

Did you get a request? It's headcanons for Raphael, Haarlep, Kar'niss, and Zevlor with oblivious gn crush. Thanks!

Yes I sure did Anon! I'll be working on it soon enough!

[helloarchivist]

would shanks and his s/o argue? And if they do what would their argument be about?

Maybe about their safety like he would not let them go to a dangerous fight but other than that to me shanks is such a chill guy i can’t see him arguing with his and upsetting them.

I've been sitting on this until my brain decided to cooperate, apologies for the delay!!

It's really interesting because I don't see him fighting with his s/o, or people that he cares about in general in his life. At least not in the direct or common way. On the one hand, Shanks puts a lot of importance on conflict resolution in general - even with people he doesn't much like, or who aren't engaging with him kindly, he really tries to find ways to talk things through before they get to the point of fighting or arguing.

This is like 60/40 my headcanon vs actual canon but I do think he's a lot more emotionally intelligent and present than he gets credit for. I think, if he really thought that an upcoming battle or situation was going to be legitimately dangerous for his s/o, he would talk to them about that, present his side of things and what the playing field is, but I think he's unlikely to like. Lock you in your quarters or pull rank or try to make up your mind for you. If participating in the dangerous situation is really so important that you're willing to accept the added risk (to yourself, to him, to the crew), then I think he's more likely to accept your position, your agency would matter to him.

There's also something to be said for like. If you're his s/o you're an adult with at least some understanding of both like. The life you're becoming part of and your own capabilities in that regard. I don't think someone who isn't willing to be reasoned with or who prioritizes bravado over a more reasoned course of action would make it, anyway.

Unrelated to specifically dangerous situations, again, I think Shanks is an attentive guy and he cares really deeply, I think if something was brewing that was causing upset for or between his love and himself he'd set down and talk to them about it loooooooooooooooong before it became a serious fight. Shanks wants the people he loves to be happy, and he wants to avoid losing anyone else, so he's going to be motivated to make things right if he's messed up, or find ways to address how you're feeling in either direction.

I'm sorry if this wasn't the answer you were looking for adlkjfasf I just feel like on the hierarchy of OP Guys Who Argue With You Shanks is near the bottom of the totem pole, he just doesn't feel confrontational to me at all.

the 141 boys with a crying reader is eating me aliveee

the first time you cry in front of gaz is an accident and that man turns into the softest thing you'll ever meet. maybe it's a bad day at work. or a rude dick at the store you stopped at on the way home. regardless, he's allll sweet cuddles and coos. shushing you while kissing your wet cheeks, mumbling that it's gonna be alright, lovie. 'm here, 've got you, yeah?

silence. that's the first thing that comes when soap realizes you aren't faking it. those are real tears falling from your eyes and he's got to do something about it. there's an ache in his stomach when you lull against him, and the man's got to pull himself together before you're both blubbering messes. with no idea what to say, he opts for physical comfort instead. holding you almost too tight, hoping that you can't feel how fast his heart is beating at the sight of you so sad.

price spots the tears before they come. senses the energy in the air as you walk to him with slumped shoulders. what's this now, hm? the question rocks something inside you–breaks the dam–and collapses you straight into his awaiting arms. he ignores your whine when he pulls away, cradling your face and reminding you to breathe. in and out, darlin'. that's good, just breath with me for a bit. whatever it is this time, he'll fix it. make it better, and do the same thing the next time you come before him with a wobbly lip and watery eyes.

what's happened? who did this, i'll kill em. you can't find a break in your cries to answer simon, and this makes him sober a bit. finally, it takes him a second to realize that that's not what you need to hear right now. that version of him isn't who he needs to be right now. so he stuffs down the anger and replaces it with a palm against your back and cradling of your head with the other. he stands completely still, as if you'll break, and stays that way until your sobs revert to soft sniffles. don't 'ave to tell me right now, love, okay? just don't pass out 'n me, alright?

GUYS IS AMERICA FINALLY ON IT'S PATH ON MAKING FUCKING CONCENTRATION CAMPS?!!

My aunt who lives in California, just sent me this msg that she got,

Hello BAS family,

Happy Wednesday!

Please read this important message from LACOE.

Los Angeles County of Schools Superintendent

Dr. Debra Duardo Statement on the

Sensitive Locations Policy Overturn

"In light of the new administration’s action today to overturn the sensitive locations policy, I want to reassure our education community that the Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE) remains steadfastly committed to ensuring that every student, regardless of their immigration status, has access to a safe, secure and nurturing learning environment.

The sensitive locations policy previously prevented Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents from arresting immigrants in places such as schools, churches and hospitals. The change to the policy does not overrule the student’s constitutional right to an education. It also does not overrule state constitutional protections.

It is important to reinforce that all students possess the right to a public education, independent of their immigration status. Our schools are mandated to ensure that no student is denied enrollment or faced with barriers to their educational opportunities based on their or their family’s immigration status.

Our schools serve as safe havens for our students and families.

It is imperative that we stand united in our unwavering commitment to the education and well-being of every student within our county. As educators and leaders, we are responsible for creating and maintaining an environment where all students feel valued, secure and protected. Together, we can foster inclusive learning spaces and reflect the rich diversity of our communities."

For more information and resources about immigration rights and schools visit LACOE’s website.

You have constitutional rights:

DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR if an immigration agent is knocking on the door.

DO NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS from an immigration agent if they try to talk to you. You have the right to remain silent.

DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING without first speaking to a lawyer. You have the right to speak with a lawyer.

If you are outside of your home, ask the agent if you are free to leave and if they say yes, leave calmly.

If you are inside of your home, do not give the agent permission to enter your home based on your 4th Amendment rights under the United States Constitution unless the agent has a warrant to enter, signed by a judge or magistrate with your name on it. Ask the agent to slide the document under the door or show it to you through the window.

Thank you for supporting our adult learners.

SOS - s.r

♡ summary: the bau travels to colorado for another case where you find yourself in serious danger pairing: spencer reid x fem!reader warnings: violence, blood, case details wc: 2.5k

"They didn't have the chips you like but I got you these." Spencer dropped a bag of sour cream and onion chips on the conference table as he sank into the chair beside you. You were in Fort Collins Colorado for a case where an unsub was kidnapping children. As of right now, three children were missing with no confirmation of if they were alive or not.

"That's okay. Thank you." You sent him a smile as you opened the bag. His knee brushed against yours as he scooched his chair closer to the table. The two of you were the only ones in the police precinct, the rest of the team out talking to families or checking out crime scenes. You and Spencer had been tasked with creating the geographical profile but you'd finished a bit ago and were waiting for the rest of the team to come back with new information.

You glanced over as Spencer nudged your water bottle towards you. He'd bought you the bottle to try and get you to drink more water. So far it was working. You liked the color he picked out, it was made of that material that thermos' were made of which kept your drink cold all day. To show your gratitude, you made sure to stay hydrated. You also liked the trips to the water fountain to refill it.

"Do you want to get takeout tonight?" You asked. You were on track to finish this case tonight, right on the unsub's tail. The only way you wouldn't catch him is if he disappeared out of thin air.

"Sure. Your place or mine?" You don't get the chance to answer when Morgan and Emily walk into the conference room.

"We've got a lead. The kid's mother told us about some man she'd been talking to online." Morgan explained, already dialing Garcia.

"Does Hotch know?" You asked, just as the man in question strode into the conference room, Rossi and JJ close behind.

"Hey babygirl, I need you to find me the address of Hugh Rodgers. He's the school psychiatrist."

"You got it hot stuff." You heard rapid typing on the other end of the line. "Alright, I've got two addresses here, 4429 Graham Place, and 6839 Cedar Ave."

"Got it, Morgan, JJ, you're with me, we're going to the first, Prentiss, Rossi, and Reid I want you at the second address." He looks at you, fixing you with a firm stare. "Stay here, see if he had any other patients that went missing." He orders. You sighed, staying seated while everyone filed out.

You were still serving his punishment for going off on your own on the last case. Spencer paused next to you, squeezing your shoulder gently. You looked up, giving him a smile.

"Be safe." You said, squeezing his forearm three times in response.

You were alone, back in the precinct. The team was out and you were on your own, looking through stacks of files of missing kids over the years. Suddenly the door open and you glanced up, one of the cops in the precinct entering the room.

“Need any help?” He asks. He seemed nice enough, a charming guy that you'd seen around while working the case. You think his name was Devin or Darren? Something like that.

“You know what, sure.” You said. He stepped inside closing the door behind him. He steps up to the table, taking a file.

“So, what are we looking for?” He asks.

“We're trying to find out if the unsub had any other victims we didn't know about.”

“So we're looking for Hugh's patients?” You nodded but then freeze, your eyes flicking away from the missing person's reports to him. He notices you've stopped and looks at you.

“I never told you the unsub's name.” You said warily.

“You didn't?” You set down the file.

“No, I didn't.” You realized that all the blinds were closed. You looked over at the door, noticing that he closed and locked it. You looked back at him. He started moving around the side of the table towards you.

“You were so close.” He said and then pointed to the file you were looking at. “Her right there. She's one of them. She was right between your fingers.” He made two exaggerated fists in front of his chest. “It's a shame I have to kill you now.” He said, making it to your side of the table as you slowly backed away from him. “You would have figured it out, too. She's one of his main patients. And I'm betting that if you had figured that out, you would have caught me too.” He said. He fake lunged at you, chuckling when you flinched back and put a hand on your gun. “That won't help you.” He lifted his shirt, showing his bullet proof vest.

"Are you working with the unsub?" He chuckled cruelly.

"Of course I am. We've been doing this for ten years now." Your mind was racing, trying to figure out a way to get out of this situation. You were alone, in a locked room with a criminal. Fuck.

You suddenly made a break for the door but he rounded the other side of the table quicker, grabbing you around the waist as your hand grazed the doorknob and yanking you back. He threw you into the opposite wall and your shoulder ached from where the impact was. You grunted in pain as he grabbed your biceps, shoving you back against the wall. He kneed you in the stomach and you gasped out a cough, bending in pain. He took two steps back, holding his arms out.

“Come on! Fight back, this needs to look like a real fight.” So that was his plan. He was going to kill you and make it look like self defense. He knew that your team was after his partner and he was going to try to get away from the whole thing.

You kicked him in the stomach and he stumbled back into the table. He looked back at you, holding his stomach with a grin. “That's it.” You swung a punch at him but he dodged. “Don't get too cocky, now.” He punched you across the face, hard enough that you stumbled into the table. You braced your hands on it to catch yourself and were met with the picture of the missing girl. You took a few breaths, steadying yourself.

You weren't going to let him get away. Your team would think that Hugh Rodgers was it and that it's case closed. If he killed you now, he'd walk free. He'd probably move to a new town and start kidnapping kids all over again.

He grabbed your biceps and threw you onto the floor. “I wonder what I'll say. That you went wild and tried to attack me. Maybe I'll say you were sick. Something mental. There's plenty of mental diseases out there that make people... do things." He said menacingly. There was no way your team would ever believe that. No way Spencer would believe that.

You groaned, laying on your side, holding your stomach. You looked back at him and he stared at you with wild eyes before punching himself in the face. Your eyes widened. “I'll say you tried to kill me. It was self defense.” He said as he stalked closer to you. You tried to scramble back but he grabbed your ankle, yanking you forward and straddling you on his knees. You reached to the side, grabbing your gun. Your arm moved back to point it at him but he grabbed your wrist before you could, slamming your hand into the ground multiple times until you dropped the gun.

“I think shooting you is too easy, you know? I mean, you're wild, attacking me, I- I think I would kill you a different way. He spotted your heavy water bottle, raising it before hitting you across the face with it. “You put up a good fight. I had to really beat the life out of you.” He emphasized the word ‘beat’ by hitting you again. You felt blood trickle down your face but you couldn't tell from where.

The rest was kind of a blur, you heard a slam as the door was kicked open. You saw blurry figures rushing into the room, catching the cops arm before he could swing at you again. Morgan yanks the man off of you as Hotch drops to his knees next to you. JJ stood frozen in the doorway, her eyes wide as she stared down at you.

“Hey, can you hear me?” He presses two fingers to the side of your neck, feeling for your pulse as your eyes peel open.

“Hotch.” You breathe out, your voice raspy.

“We’re gonna get you help, okay?”

“Hotch… it’s him.” You breathed, your eyes fluttering closed.

“What?”

“It’s him… He’s the unsub, his partner... Hugh, they...” You mumbled, your eyes opening again. “It’s him.” Hotch registered my words and looked over at the cop that Morgan was cuffing.

Hotch, Morgan, and JJ had gone to the first address that Penelope gave them and found nothing. Before Hotch could drive them to the second address as backup for the others, JJ felt a twang in her gut. Something was wrong.

"We have to go back to the precinct." She said suddenly.

"What?" Morgan glanced at her confused.

"Something's wrong, I- I don't know, we have to go back." Hotch looked at her for a few moments before he nodded. If there was one thing he knew, it was to trust a gut feeling.

-

Emily, Spencer, and Rossi brought the unsub in, cuffed and passed off to an officer, heading off to a holding cell. They suddenly noticed paramedics in the conference room.

“What’s going on?” Spencer asked Morgan who was waiting outside. Morgan stayed silent, a look on his face that Spencer couldn’t figure out. He glanced in the conference room, seeing a pair of feet sticking out from behind the table. Wait. He knew those shoes. Those were the little black Mary Jane's that you loved to wear. “Is that...” He moved towards the conference room, his heart pounding.

“Reid.” Morgan caught him, holding him back, surprised with the amount of effort it took.

“Let me go!” Spencer shouted your name. Emily walked past them, moving towards the conference room. She stopped in the doorway and Hotch looked up, making eye contact with her from his spot next to you. She could see the worry in his eyes as he quickly looked back at you as the paramedics worked on you.

She caught JJ's eyes who started towards her, leading her out of the room. The team formed a half circle, Spencer's breathing ragged as he fought the urge to sprint into that conference room and beg someone to tell him what was going on. Everyone looked at JJ expectantly.

"I... something happened. One of the cops-" She glanced towards the holding cell where the police officer sat in custody. "He attacked her. He was working with Rodgers, they..." JJ trailed off, clearly shaken up. Emily put a comforting arm around her shoulders, pulling her into her side. Spencer let out a shuddery breath, pressing his palms to his eyes until his vision went staticky.

"Oh god. Oh god." He whispered. They all turned when they heard the paramedics bringing the stretcher out of the conference room, you strapped to it. There was so much blood Spencer had to look away.

Hotch trailed out after them, tugging a hand through his hair. He sent a look to Emily who nodded in understanding, letting go of JJ to follow the medics. She rode in the ambulance with you as Hotch slowly made his way to the team.

"Is she gonna be okay?" Rossi asked and Hotch shook his head, frazzled.

"I don't know."

-

In the ambulance, before they could put anesthetics on, you remembered something. You attempted to shove the mask away.

“Wait. I need… Emily…” She moved closer, grabbing your hand.

“What is it?” Her eyebrows furrowed in concern.

“The girl…”

“What girl?”

“There’s a file on the table… Elise…” I huffed out a breath. “Elise Miller. She’s another victim. She- she was a patient, you need to-” The beeping of the heart rate monitor had sped up and Emily noticed that your breathing was getting heavier.

“Okay, I got it. I’ll call Hotch.” She nodded and you relaxed. They put the mask over your face, giving anesthetics.

The steady beeping of the heart monitor comforted Spencer as he sat in the hospital room, in an uncomfortable chair next to your bed. His elbows were planted on his knees, his face buried in his hands as his leg bounced anxiously.

"Spence?" Your voice was rough as you called out to him. His head snapped up and he stared at you wide eyed. Your heart ached when you saw his glassy, red rimmed eyes and the bags under his eyes. His gaze trailed over your face, the bruises, the scars, the bandage over your fixed broke nose. "Am I still pretty?" You asked, trying to lighten the mood. He just looked down. "Baby, come here." You reached out for him and he stood from the chair, carefully sitting on the bed next to your hip.

"I thought I lost you." You cupped Spencer's face in your hand, tilting it up so he would meet your eyes.

"Oh, Spencer. It's okay. I'm right here." Spencer reached up to take your other hand in both of his, squeezing three times. I. Love. You.

"Can I hug you?" He asked, wary of hurting you. You nodded, opening your eyes. He leans forward, his arms wrapping around you as his chin rests on your shoulder. "I was so worried when I saw you on the ground. I thought you were-" He cuts himself off with a gasp, muffling his sob in your neck. You wrapped your arms around him, kissing his head.

"I'm okay." You whispered. Spencer felt guilty for making you comfort him when you were the one who was hurt. He pulled back, his hands finding yours,

"I'm sorry, does anything hurt?"

"No, no, I'm fine." You assured him. And you were. The pain meds you were on were helping with the constant ache in your face and your boyfriend being with you helped a ton. "I just don't think I'll be able to use that water bottle again." You said with a small frown.

"I'll buy you a new one." Spencer promised. And he would. Just like he'd made sure the bastard who did this to you rots in prison. Just like he'd make sure your recovery was as smooth as possible and just like he'd make sure you knew you were loved and properly taken care of.
