Summary
At Hogwarts, young Tom Riddle secretly masters the Patronus Charm–only to discover his guardian takes the form of a common magpie.
Humiliated and furious at what he views as a cosmic insult, he vows never to cast the spell again.
As he grows into Lord Voldemort, rumours spread that he is incapable of summoning a Patronus, and he allows the world to believe it.
Yet buried beneath the legend of his darkness lingers the truth: the one bright thing he ever conjured was a bird he could never accept.

Summary
Derek looks up to place an order only to find himself tongue tied at the cashier. Oh god. He’s hungover, and normally being served coffee by someone at Dunkin who looks like he would rather be in hell. Not this guy. Derek looks at him, the hint of a smile on his face, his curls falling on his forehead, burnt honey eyes patiently looking at Derek, tattoos littered across his forearms.
So obviously what comes out of his mouth is, “Coffee.” Jesus fucking Christ.
The guy smiles impishly, amused. “We do have coffee,” he quips.
Derek wishes the earth would swallow him up.

Summary
Spencer takes Hotch’s hand in his own and brings it across the space between them to rest over his knees, cradled in both of his hands like something precious. Hotch doesn’t object, silently watching Spencer’s movements with a wary tilt of his head.
“Do you always change parts of yourself to manage other’s perceptions?” The question trips past Spencer's lips before he can think better of it.
Hotch tenses, his hand clenching and unclenching in Spencer’s hold like he wants to pull away from the conversation, from Spencer. His hand stays in place.
“Doesn’t everyone?” He asks quietly, and something about his tone makes Spencer look up for the first time since he started this bizarre interrogation.
Spencer almost doesn’t want to break it to him.
“No,” he says, looking back to the hand in his lap and lacing their fingers together for a selfish moment, a breath, “not everyone.”
AKA A night out with the team quickly devolves, and Spencer’s still dizzy trying to put it back together.

Which is why you text the stranger instead of talk to coworkers.(Mon 12:20 pm)
Yes.
(Mon 12:28 pm)
Is that weird?"xxx
A dialogue-only AU in which Hotch texts what he thinks is Rossi's new number but is actually the slightly eccentric stranger whom Hotch knows only as "Spencer." What follows is something neither man could have ever quite expected.
