Cherry-Flavoured Cough Syrup

fandom: criminal minds (lol) summary: Will develops a bad case of the 'man flu' and JJ calls Spencer to help take care of him.

As soon as Spencer sees JJ’s name pop up on his phone, a sinking feeling hits his stomach. He answers after the first ring.

“JJ? Is everything okay? Is Henry alright?”

JJ sighs, and to Spencer’s relief she doesn’t sound panicked. Only mildly distressed. “Henry is fine, it’s actually Will that I’m worried about.” He can hear a groan and a thump in the background and another distinctly higher pitched voice yelling at the first voice to sit back down. Will and Henry. “He’s got the Man Flu.”

Spencer furrows his eyebrows. “Actually, multiple studies show that presentation of cold and flu symptoms don’t actually differ depending on ones gen-“

“Spence,” JJ says with a sigh, though despite her exasperation, Spencer thinks he might also hear a tinge of amusement in her voice. He hears her inhale next, preparing to say something else, when another fainter voice interrupts, barely audible in the background.

No One Will Tempt You

fandom: criminal minds pairing: Derek Morgan/Spencer Reid (Moreid) can be platonic or romantic summary: Spencer and Derek have a conversation after the events of season 3, episode 16: Elephant's Memory.

Derek isn't all that surprised to see Spencer still sitting at his desk long after everyone else has already left the office. It doesn't take a profiler to figure out that something isn't right with him, and hasn't been for a while now. He slings his jacket over his shoulder and approaches Spencer's desk, allowing himself to crack a small smile at the organized chaos that surrounds him. 

"Hey, kid," Derek says. His voice feels too light, too casual, but he pushes through regardless. When Spencer looks up, Derek's eyes find the dark bags that seem much more prominent than they had in the past. "What're you doing here so late?"

Spencer sniffs and drops his gaze, shuffling a few papers around lamely. "Paperwork." His voice is soft. He sounds like a kid who's been caught doing something they weren't supposed to be doing. 

Derek tilts his head at him, resting his hip against the edge of the desk. He waits for a few seconds and when Spencer does nothing to initiate anymore contact, he sighs. "You gonna tell me what's wrong or do I have to pry it out of you?" 

Spencer pauses suddenly. There's a casefile in his left hand and if Derek watches the corner of it, he can pinpoint the way it's gently shaking. He thinks Spencer is going to do what he does best: evade the question, distract, deflect. Anything to avoid talking about his feelings. It's the Dr. Reid special. But what he says instead surprises Derek some.

"I wasn't at the movies." The admission is soft; so soft that Derek struggles to hear it. But he hears it, and it doesn't shock him at all.

Take Me To Your Best Friend's House

fandom: criminal minds summary: The team can't quite seem to figure out which of them is Spencer's best friend. A battle ensues, bets are taken, and eyes are rolled. a/n: no excuse for this one. jj derek and emily are children

It's rather absurd how this whole debacle comes to pass. 

JJ, Penelope, Emily, and Derek are at a bar, sharing drinks and stories and letting their shoulders finally relax after a longer-than-possible day. They'd invited the others to join them, but had been rejected in favour of family (Hotch), sleep (Spencer), and drinking alone (Rossi), so the four of them had ventured to the nearest bar by themselves, determined to have a good time.

"...and then the kid says 'y'know, Morgan, humans actually do about 75% of their breathing through one nostril and 25% out of the other'," Morgan says, chuckling through the nasality he'd forced into his voice in his attempt to do an accurate Dr. Spencer Reid impression. "All I'd said was that I was feeling a little congested that morning."

"He sure is a piece of work, isn't he?" JJ says, her tone all affection and no bite. She swirls what's left of her beer around in its glass bottle and shakes her head. "He taught Henry what 'discombobulated' meant the other day." The four of them giggle together, each at varying levels of tipsy as they nurse their third or fourth drinks of the night. 

"'Piece of work' is exactly right," Emily says, sighing pleasantly. 

Derek hums in agreement. "Reid may be my best friend, but he sure does drive me nuts sometimes." The silence that falls over the table should have been the first sign that something was wrong, but it takes Derek more than a few seconds to realise this as he occupies himself with a long drink of scotch. When he finally pulls the glass away from his lips, he's met by JJ and Emily's twin looks of scrutiny and Penelope suddenly finding the olives in her martini very amusing. "What?"

"Uh... your best friend?" JJ says first. Her voice is low and at the back of Derek's neck, he thinks he feels goosebumps beginning to form. "Spence is my best friend."

Derek scoffs. "No, he isn't!"

just in case any of my jatp followers also like criminal minds, i wrote a moreid fic :)

I Can't Recall the Last Time I Was Kissed

pairing: Derek Morgan/Spencer Reid (Moreid) summary: What if the events of season 3, episode 9 "Penelope" happened to Spencer instead of Garcia? (Set sometime between season 9 and 10) After Reid is shot on a date, the team have to rush to find the person who did this to him and bring them to justice. However, Reid isn't being entirely forthcoming about all of the details, leaving Morgan to wonder just what it is Reid is hiding from them. a/n: i haven't posted fics on tumblr in so long. do people still do this. anyway here's a 17000+ word criminal minds fic <3

They all think that Spencer is more fragile that he actually is, and seeing him laying so still and small in a hospital bed is doing nothing to disprove that assumption.

For all that he provides in intellect and skill, he lacks in emotional and physical strength. The team knows this; they’ve all tiptoed around him during the days where he kept his sleeves rolled down and cuffs tightly buttoned. The days where the ghost of Tobias Hankel seemed to always be following, walking with Spencer in a lockstep. By now, they know what it takes to make Dr Spencer tick: on the bad days, he’s not unlike an overstimulated, grumpy child.

Slowly, Spencer's eyelids flutter open, pupils dancing around the room in lazy ovals as he adjusts to the fluorescent lights. His eyes flit from JJ to Derek to Penelope, then back to Derek. 

“Hey, kid,” Derek says softly. He has to pause and look away from Spencer’s (pale, weak, sad) face for a moment. He swallows the threatening thickness rising in his throat. “How’re you feeling?”

“Like I just got shot?” Spencer replies. The quip sounds forced coming from his dry lips and hoarse voice. JJ wastes no time grabbing the plastic cup of water from the bedside table and holding the straw up to Spencer's lips. He takes a few slow sips, giving JJ what Derek thinks is supposed to be a smile of gratitude. “What did the doctor say?”

rest is up on ao3!
