Summary
Spencer liked waking up first. There was something almost indulgent about it, something private and quiet that felt stolen from the world.
The room was still blue with early morning light, the curtains not quite closed, the city outside just beginning to hum. He lay on his side with his cheek pressed against Aaron’s chest, listening to the steady thud beneath his ear. Aaron ran warm, always had. It was a comfort Spencer had catalogued early on, like he catalogued everything else. Warm skin. Slow, measured breathing. The faint scent of his aftershave, even after a night’s sleep, mixed with detergent and something that was just Aaron.
--
Or, Hotch and Reid enjoy a quiet morning. -

Summary
"This doesn't have to mean anything," the young doctor whispered.
Aaron looked at him, rolling them over again so that Spencer was flat on the bed, and he was hovering over him. *It means everything,* he wanted to say. Instead, he held the side of Spencer's face with his hand, leaned down, and pressed their lips together.
***
When Aaron Hotchner and Spencer Reid are targeted and ultimately kidnapped, it’s a race against time for their team to find them before it’s too late.
But someone’s keeping secrets, secrets that hold the key to finding them, to figuring out why and how two of the best agents the FBI has to offer were kidnapped in a foreign country — a country they were never supposed to be in.
"Man is not what he thinks he is, he is what he hides." –André Malraux

Summary
“Just saying, if you’re taking another hit, you should share it with me,” Mike says, and Will slowly tilts his head, drinking in every word. “It just makes sense. Like, mathematically.”
Will’s reddened eyes narrow, bewildered. “Mathematically?”
“If there’s two hits left, we’d each only get one,” Mike explains. “But if we shotgunned, we’d both get two.” God, this is the best idea he’s had in ages. He should’ve stolen Will’s weed, like, months ago. “That’s like, bang for your buck. This is simple math, Will Byers. Keep up.”
In which it’s well past midnight in New York, Will can’t sleep, and Mike feels like they barely know each other anymore.
So, they get a little high. Mike is very normal about all of it.

Summary
Trying not to love each other is like trying to go through life without a single breath of air. Impossible and the most painful route to death.
Letting themselves love each other is selfish. But then, everyone deserves to be selfish in life, if only for a little while.
(A canon rewrite in which Aaron Hotchner and Spencer Reid fall in love, fall apart, and everything in between)

Summary
Spencer carries his exhaustion like Atlas carries the globe, dragging himself to Aaron’s side when a case has taken a toll on him, never quite initiating but looking at Aaron with those same wide eyes that tell him exactly what Spencer wants, what he needs.
Aaron meets him with open arms every time, pulling him closer to tuck him into the space where Aaron’s neck and shoulder meet, a hand on the back of his skull to keep him there so Spencer doesn’t have to worry about when he’s supposed to pull away, how long he’s allowed to indulge. It’s as rewarding for Aaron as it seems to be for Spencer.
Over the months of this slow, developing change in their dynamic, Aaron is finding that he wants nothing more than to give Spencer what he needs.
AKA Spencer has always been touch averse. Aaron is realizing he may be an exception to the rule.

Instead of answering, he levels a glare at the other man, lips pulled into a tight line that only seems to confuse his young agent more, whilst Emily jeers in the background.
“Just like that, IQ of 187 is slashed to 60.”
Get it together, Hotchner.

Summary
After years with the BAU, Spencer Reid resigns, emotionally burned out. Seeking peace, he moves to Denver, where he unexpectedly reunites with Aaron Hotchner, now retired and raising his son Jack. Their friendship rekindles into something deeper—love, trust, and a shared life. They marry in secret, Spencer adopts Jack, and later they welcome a second son, Eli, through surrogacy.
Ten years later, a chilling serial killer—the Echo Killer—draws them back to the BAU. As they help solve disturbing murders that mirror old cases, they keep their relationship hidden. But when the truth comes out, tensions rise among the team.
Everything shatters when Jack is kidnapped, forcing Reid and Hotch to face their worst fears. Now, with the full team behind them, they must stop a killer who knows them intimately—and will do anything to destroy what they’ve built.

Summary
Once, as a kid, his mother had told him about tragic geniuses. The great writers and all their neuroses and miseries, all the brilliant thinkers who drank themselves to death or cut their own lives short to avoid bearing the weight of their minds. He always knew the statistics - the predisposition of those with high IQs to drug addiction, the increased rates of mental illnesses in Mensa members, the loneliness associated with higher intelligence.
His brain had always been his greatest weapon, especially when he turned it on himself. An obsessive mind is an addictive one, and Spencer Reid was nothing if not obsessed.

Summary
It started, as many dubious ideas do, with copious amounts of alcohol and a bet.
The BAU were all highly competitive, extremely skilled, hard working individuals of outstanding moral fibre who were used to risking their lives on a daily basis - which meant not one of them could walk away from a bet, especially if it involved getting a chance to show off.
Or,
How to seduce Aaron Hotchner in four easy steps.

Her last job was nowhere near this interesting.
