Unsub!Reid

Alright, we all know Spencer is a little on the verge of a mental breakdown at all times. That got me thinking, what if he one day goes over that line?

♤ The first time he takes a life, he's in shock. He doesn't fully process the event for weeks. He doesn't know if he'll ever get over the fact that he shot someone, it doesn't matter that it was a killer, it doesn't matter that he was protecting his team, he took a life and he doesn't know if he can live with himself after that.

♤ Months later, it happens again. A standoff with an unsub ends with Spencer pulling the trigger. This time he expects the guilt and moral dilemmas, he knows how to help himself through it, knows that it was him or the Unsub.

♤ Every time a case ends with Spencer killing the Unsub the team had been chasing, it gets easier for him to deal with the psychological backlash.

♤ Until one time, he doesn't feel guilt. He only feels relief. Why should he feel guilty about protecting himself? Protecting his team?

♤ "Successful" cases where the unsub gets arrested start feeling incomplete to Reid. He feels anxious because the unsub, this awful person, is still alive, still out there in the world. What if they get out of prison? What if they escape? What if they start hurting others again?

♤ The final straw comes when an unsub escapes from custody. Reid had had a gun pointed at him only thirty minutes before. The unsub killed two more people before Spencer finally found him again, not hesitating to pull the trigger this time.

♤ From then on, he promised himself to never hesitate again. Voices in his head tell him that it is his fault that those two innocent people died. It was because of him that the unsub could kill them.

♤ He starts his own mission. He tries to rid the world of as many serial killers and serial rapists as he can, doing everyone a favor, according to him.

♤ He works with his team to profile and find the unsub, but the last piece of essential information he keeps to himself, sending the rest of his team astray with a subtle hint in the wrong direction.

♤ Then, he goes after the unsub himself, making quick work of them, chasing the feeling of relief. Relief that there is one less murderous psychopath walking around on this earth.

Vicki…you have an editor job in a completely different city. Did you just come to Metropolis to ambush Perry for this photo where you pose with your own newspaper?

How was this photo taken? Did you memorize where Perry gets his coffee, set up a camera, then wait for him to pass so you can jump out of the bushes or something?

Is there something in Gotham’s water that makes people act like petty drama queens?

Do you have a crush and just can’t ask him out like a normal person? Do you just have a lot of free time?

What are you doing girl?

Round 2, Match 7: Shen Jiu vs Gu Feidi

Match 7 is between Shen Jiu / original Shen Qingqiu (shixiong: Yue Qingyuan) from The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System vs Gu Feidi (shixiong: Su Yang) from Where is Our Agreement to be Each Other's Arch-Rivals?

Propaganda under the cut

Shen Jiu:

"Threads of blood unfurled, extending outward. Right before they should have converged into one, they passed each other by."

Gu Feidi:

So Gu Feidi and Su Yang are from different sects (righteous and evil, respectfully), but they both end up studying at the House of Jade as Shixiong and Shidi. They end up falling in love, and if I'm remembering correctly, Gu Feidi leaves the Wulin Alliance (/fights with his father, the leader) to be with & help Su Yang
