Summary
Evan Buckley was dropped on a fire station's front steps at one year old after he failed to save his brother. He was adopted seven years later by a firefighter after he almost burned down his group home. He joins the SEALs ten years later, and is crushed under an MV a year after that.
So when the man who saved his life is the desert is working with him at his dad's fire station, lying about his past might be harder than he thought.

Summary
Spencer is usually good at treading water.
His life has been a slow drip of trauma, only broken up by torrents and floods. When it rains, he supposes. He can’t remember ever being fully above water. He’s always at least half-drowning. Life has always been a constant battle of keeping afloat, keeping his head up enough to suck in trembling breaths. He swims. He tries to float. He’s gotten good at swimming. At least, good enough not the drown.
Usually, at least.
Right now, Spencer’s on the bottom of the lake. He’s slowly drowning, watching as the bubbles drift up from his mouth. He’s drowning. And this time, he actually will.

Spencer has a mental health episode, and his family rally around to help

After a lifetime of feeling like he didn’t fit in, Dr Spencer Reid had finally hit his stride. He was the FBI’s youngest-ever recruit, a valuable member of the BAU and he even had a few people he could call friends. Life was looking up.
Then Gideon leaves with nothing but a letter in a cold, empty cabin, sending Reid into a spiral of self-loathing as his old demons resurface and he struggles to navigate new challenges.
With his physical, mental and emotional wellbeing on the line, will the team realise they are missing the signs of what's really going on before it's too late?
