About Time (Reid Fic)
Summary: Readerās offer to help Morgan renovate one of his properties makes Spencer jealous enough to confess what he never could before.Ā
A/N: I try to avoid specific Reid eras in my works so that it can be up to you how you imagine him, but please just imagine seasons 1 or 2 Spencer - Iām telling you itāll make the experience richer. Also, I might improve this fic in the near future bc Iām not entirely happy with it.

The repetitive noise was barely discernible at first, then it became all that I could focus on.Ā
In an attempt to find the source, I looked up from my paperwork and scanned the room. It only took me half a second to discover that Morgan was the culprit.Ā
From across the round table, I watched as Derek absentmindedly stirred his coffee and sugar together, making a āclinkā noise each time his spoon hit the rim of the cup. This wouldnāt have been bothersome had it not persisted for more than 10 minutes which, by all accounts, is plenty of time for the sugar to dissolve.
āDerek⦠ā I sort of sang, trying to capture his attention as nicely as possible.Ā
āDerek.ā I repeated, this time a little less quietly and a little more sharply. Still, my voice did nothing to stop the noisy stirring of his coffee. I stayed silent for a second, just in case he finally noticed I was speaking to him, but when he didnāt, I gave a concerned look to Spencer beside me as if to ask if he was seeing what I was and he returned just the same expression of confusion.Ā
Thatās when I knew something was wrong.Ā

The Bones (Reid Series) Part 1
Summary: Almost a year after Maeveās death, Spencer reaches out to the recipients of Maeveās donated organs to reconnect with his lost love. However, when the receiver of her heart, Reader, doesnāt write back, Spencer goes on a poorly-motivated mission to find her.Ā
Playlist: āThe Bonesā by Maren Morris & HozierĀ Ā (BONUS:Ā song includes major foreshadowing)
A/N: There is an OC in this story because to me, writing ā(y/n)ā over and over again cheapens the story and doesnāt flow well. It was a personal decision, and to anyone it sincerely bothers, Iām sure thereās a way you can insert your own name instead. This fic is also inspired byĀ āThings We Know By Heartā by Jessi Kirby. Category: Series, Soft Angst, Eventual Smut + NSFW content* Pairing: Spencer Reid POV x Fem!OC Content Warning: allusions to death, mourning, loss, recovery, arrhythmia (this is an intro chapter, so itāll get more interesting from here I promise) Word Count: 2.2k
This will be a multi-part series.
ā§ļ½„ļ¾: *ā§ļ½„ļ¾:*Ā
It all started that first autumn after Maeveās death - just five weeks past a year since I parted with her. I was absentmindedly reading when, rather out of the blue, Mary Donovan called to inform me about a Mrs. Rachel Larsen.Ā
Although we didnāt learn her actual name until later, she was first known to us as the recipient of Maeveās liver. Not a single one of the three of us - Maeveās parents and me - had expected a recipient to be in contact with us. That inability to predict such an event was caused by my neglect to remember Maeve was an organ donor. It wasnāt particularly relevant in the grand scheme of things, and for that forgetfulness, I was truly ashamed, but after reading Rachel Larsenās letter together with the Donovans, it all came back to me.Ā
Every single thing.Ā
You see, despite the anonymity of the person writing to us, it was as if I could actually feel Maeveās soul coming alive again, as strange as that sounds.Ā
She was still here with me ⦠in some form.Ā

Tequila Sunrise (Reid Fic)
Summary: When Spencer drinks tequila for the first time, Reader takes on the responsibility of tending to the lightweight himself. In the midst of his drunkenness, he confesses a secret he never thought heād share with another soul - much less Reader.Ā
A/N: This shit took forever and a day to write and Iām not even fully happy with it tbh I just want to be done with it LOL Playlist: Lover by Taylor Swift Category: Fluff Pairing: Fem!Reader x Spencer Reid Content Warning: Intoxication, accidental nudity, allusions to nudity, jealousy Word Count: 6.1k

All three of us were a tangled mess of limbs on our way out of the restaurant. While I was fighting hard to hold up my half of Spencerās body weight, Luke - stationed on Reidās right side - was lifting him like nobodyās business.Ā
āHow you doinā over there, Princessa?ā Alvez half-chuckled from the other side of Reidās limp body. There was no semblance of strain behind his voice, which proved a level of strength that I severely envied right about now.Ā
āNot great,ā I grumbled, heavily implied sarcasm soaking my tone. Carrying Spencer to the taxi was no easy feat, especially considering I was a little tipsy myself. Not to say I was anywhere near as hammered as our friend here, but the pavement sure did look smooth where I knew it to be uneven.Ā
My eyes were playing tricks on me, and later in the night, I would assume that my ears were, too.Ā

Be Forever Young (Reid Fluff Fic)
Summary: After Penelopeās resignation from the BAU, she attempts to set up her tech protĆ©gĆ©, Reader, with Readerās intellectual match yet much older counterpart - Dr. Spencer Reid.Ā
A/N: The POV switches between Reader and Spencer, just use context clues to detect who the narrator is.Ā Pairing: Fem!Reader x Spencer Reid Content Warning: 21 year age gap, headcannon proposal Playlist: Cloud 9 by Beach Bunny Word Count: 6.1k
ā§ļ½„ļ¾: *ā§ļ½„ļ¾:*Ā
Prologue
Events like these werenāt exceedingly rare. They werenāt anything like Halleyās Comet, by any means, where it only happens once in your lifetime - if youāre lucky. But they werenāt exactly sunrises - something that you can count on occurring every day without fail.Ā
The best celestial phenomenon I could compare it to are blue moons. Rare enough to still have an element of surprise when they came, but not so rare that I should never expect them.Ā
These āblue moonsā are actually the events in which I meet an intellectual match.Ā
Itās not too often that I find a mind quite like mine, so youāll forgive me for the reaction it elicits to watch them transcend the physical level and connect with me on the psychological one. Thereās only been a handful of people whoāve ever had the exact standard of aptitude to be permissible into this metaphysical world with me, but now - thereās a handful and one.Ā
The newest addition to the list is her.Ā

Summer rain never failed to fascinate me after the first time I ever experienced it. There was something about the cruel irony of a monstrous thunderstorm in the middle of June when just a day ago it was bright and sunny. In this I learned that if the weather can change so drastically in less than 24 hours, so too can feelings⦠or even a person. The weather and my world did a 180 that day.Ā

Why I Think theĀ āFriends-To-Loversā Trope in Television is Always Doomed to Fail
DISCLAIMER: The points Iām about to make are 100% opinion-based. So even if you do not agree with me, that doesnāt mean Iām wrong, nor does that give you the right to bash me for having these opinions. Feel free to comment with your differing perspective, but only if youāll respect mine.Ā
A) As stated in the title, I will only be referring to TV Shows because movies with theĀ āFriends-to-loversā trope perform far better since writers have to write the plot with intention. If they want friends to end up together, they have to plan for that to happen before the end of the movie. WhereasĀ TV Shows run over the course of several episodes, allowing them more freedom to experiment with the plot.Ā B) I will be speaking generally, so for those people that like to chime in about those once-in-a-blue-moon exceptions to this theory, just know - I know thereās exceptions and Iāve included them at the end of this post.Ā
Most canon couples who start out as friends falls flat for me and hereās why:
1. Neither character can have a better romantic connection with someone other than theĀ āfriendā you intend to set them up with.Ā
Right off the bat, an example of this would be Caroline, Klaus, and Stefan. As someone who somehow managed to evade spoilers while watching TVD, I had no idea Caroline and Stefan were going to end up together. And honestly, when it became clear Steroline was endgame as opposed to Klaroline, I was disappointed.Ā
Speaking more generally, having an undeniably better third party in the picture is kryptonite to theĀ āFriends-To-Loversā storyline that the writers try to push. Inevitably, that third person who had more chemistry, character growth, etc. with one of the āfriendsā will cause aĀ āThe One That Got Awayā situation. The fandom will always seek fulfillment in that un-pursued relationship because āthe relationship that never wasā -Ā especially if it was the better relationship - will always be more alluring than āthe relationship that was but never should have been.āĀ
2. You canāt just spring a love confession on viewers and expect them to like it if there was so much character growth that happened BECAUSE the two didnāt end up together initially.Ā
Cough cough - CRIMINAL MINDS. Cough cough - HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER.Ā
Two prime examples of how sometimes characters are better off as just friends. Whatās worse is that in both instances, the characters involved had moved on and were better for it. But the minute the writers drudged up the past, it literally nullified any growth and development that took place since the uncoupling.Ā
Maybe Iāll consider giving Criminal Minds a pass considering they never truly did follow up on thatĀ ādateā between Spencer and JJ until LIKE 13 SEASONS LATER, but what I said still stands. If there was something that happened between Spencer and JJ at the football game - itās evident she moved on from it as she went on to marry Will and even started a family with him. AND GUESS WHAT? She became a more well-rounded character because of the introduction of a separate love interest! But noooOO! The CM writers just had to have their cake and eat it too. Theyāre all out here bringing up some old assĀ āromance,ā if it can even be considered that, to rile up the fandom and keep them interested.Ā
In my opinion, JJ confessing sheās always loved Reid, really turned me off from her character in that moment. Not that I didnāt still love her, but I actually found myself appalled that out of everything she couldāve said - thatās what she chose to admit. And look where that love confession the writers sprung on us got them! The friendship between Spencer and JJ was tainted with this confusion ofĀ āWhere the f did that come from?ā and āWas that really necessary?ā SPOILER ALERT: IT CAME OUT OF NOWHERE AND IT WASNāT.Ā
Donāt even get me started on Ted in HIMYM. I mean, gosh that show falls into a whole other category in and of itself. It managed to plunge head-first right into BOTH of the pitfalls Iāve mentioned thus far. Barney and Robin made for a far better pairing than Ted and Robin, therefore falling under Pitfall 1. And Ted having done so much growth after being with Robin, falls under Pitfall 2.Ā
3. Not every soulmate you have in your life is romantic. Arguably the best soulmates are platonic ones.
Call me a cynic, but I hate hate HATE when there are two good friends and writers see that as an opportunity to make them a couple. While itās evident the two friends love each other, that doesnāt mean they should just suddenly be in love with each other. Not every pairing with a healthy dynamic should be together. I see being friends as a relationship thatās more valuable to air on TV than a forced romantic one. Of course that doesnāt necessarily draw in more fans or garner more interest, but consider the TV characters that didnāt succumb to forced romanticism.Ā
Penelope and Derek in CM. Bonnie and Damon in TVD. And Pheobe and Joey in Friends.Ā
Each person and their counterpart were shown to have great growth and/or stability in their friendship over the course of the show. They all had great chemistry. They had great moments. They had great lessons. And the best part was that their love for each other never became romantic. Friendship, in my mind, is so much more important than romance. Taking a pure platonic friendship and forcing it to become romantic is the #1 easiest way to ruin the one good thing you got going for you, writers. Itās the same energy as when a close friend, whose friendship you value so much, goes and says they like you. It just ruins the vibe, man.
ANNNND just for funzies, here are the canon-consistent āFriends-To-Loversā in TV Shows that I actually did like and think did it right.Ā
Hyde and Jackie (That 70s Show)
Monica and Chandler (Friends)
Nick and Jess (New Girl)
Yep. Thatās about it.Ā

Hey hey hey! I was wondering if your ever going to write a 2 part of āstarstruck?ā or are you gonna leave it at a hopeful ending?
GOOD QUESTION. So I do have a part 2 of starstruck written, not completed, but itās definitely in the works. As for when that may come out, Iām hoping not far from now given that Iāve cleared through the majority of my WIPs and itās summer break for me, a full time student, meaning Iāve got the time to really hone in on my writing. Hope that answers your question!

Spoiled Rotten Ending Explained

FIRST OF ALL, I absolutely love these kinds of questions and to anyone who may have them, never ever be afraid to send them my way. I am MORE than happy to answer.
P.S you can find the fic being referenced right here!
š SPOILERS BELOW! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED š
Now to answer this question- in a (hopefully) semi-satisfying way- the ending of Spoiled Rotten was supposed to be up for interpretation.
I acknowledge that that isnāt exactly a satisfying answer right off the bat, but it is the most accurate term for what I was going for. The reason being is that I love when readers see the story ending in different ways that I could never have even imagined. Itās awesome when people can take whole new perspectives from my writing.
With that being said, while it was up for interpretation, I did deliberately implement something in the story that would allude to a definitive ending and not just a flat out open ending. (Full disclosure, just because I might have pictured the ending differently than anyone else did, does not mean that itās wrong).
I am truly a sucker for happy endings. If youāve read any of my fluff fics, you know that I am the very first person to hold out hope for my OTPs. And because of my affinity for happy endings, I knew that I wanted one for Reader and Spencer in Spoiled Rotten.Ā
After everything they had been through, it felt not only right, but also rewarding for there to be light at the end of the tunnel. I seldom put characters through excessive pain, devastation, and trauma without a silver lining. The silver lining here was that Spencer does want to be with her!Ā
The key piece that alludes towards a hopeful ending? The photo booth pictures and the note.Ā
If it wasnāt completely and totally obvious, Reader loves Spencer. Otherwise, she wouldnāt have kept trying to visit him nor would she have held onto those photo booth pictures. Likewise, Spencer loves Reader! Otherwise, he wouldnāt have been trying to stop her from seeing him at his worst in prison nor would he have kept the other half of those pictures.Ā
Given that Spencer was seemingly avoiding Reader at all costs up until his departure, Reader needed that confirmation that Spencer loved her like she loved him. Reader explicitly says,Ā
āI had been desperate to cling onto any notion that he still loved me, and there it was, just sitting on his desk. Proof that the man I loved was still in there somewhere.āĀ
Those pictures alone were a beacon of hope for her. The note just further confirms it. Itās not that he doesnāt love her or doesnāt want to be with her. Heās just not the man he was before. The emotionally available man. And can you really blame him? Spencer did transform after prison, but not into someone beyond recognition. Rather, he evolved. Take the evolution of an animal for example, they arenāt suddenly not that animal anymore because theyāve changed. Just like everything Spencer is at the core of himself still remains. And at the core of his being, he loves her.Ā
In reference to the actual ending, and not the elements that foreshadow it, Spencer says,Ā āFor everyone else, I bend, but for you, I break.ā This might be what strikes a gray area for people, where they donāt know if thatās a good or a bad thing, but - itās the sucker for happily ever afterās in me talking here - it is a good thing.Ā
I view breaking, in this case, as a deeper devotion to someone. Sure, youāll bend for those you care about, but youāll be willing to break for those you love. Because true love is inconvenient! Itās not easy! Itās time-consuming! Itās mind-numbing! And sometimes, it just simply hurts! Breaking for someone is the magnified, exacerbated, intensified version of bending for someone. Just as loving someone in the magnified, exacerbated, intensified version of liking someone.Ā
To make a really long explanation short, the ending is hopeful. I donāt see Spencer overcoming and accepting his trauma anytime soon, which is the ultimate obstacle standing between Reader and Spencer, but I do see it as something he is working towards. Once he does pursue the help he needs, he will not only be a better man for himself, but the kind of man he wants to be for Reader.Ā
