Summary
When the words 'victim' and 'profiler' can describe the same person, what is left of who you once were within the worst paradox the BAU has ever known?
In the wake of surviving Hankel, Dr. Spencer Reid is prescribed Vyvanse and Klonopin to manage the chaos of newly diagnosed mental health conditions. The doctors weren’t wrong—but neither was he for leaning on the pills a little harder than most would understand. Vyvanse sharpens him into the most efficient profiler the BAU has ever seen. Klonopin blunts the jagged edges of trauma, keeping flashbacks just out of reach. Spencer isn’t abusing his meds—he’s surviving. Using intellect as armor against a past too brutal to face—a past explicitly detailed in a case file with his name on it, barely buried beneath the stack of the other usual case files that littered his desk, hidden in plain sight like everything else in his life these past few months.This story takes place in early 2007 and serves as a rewritten and reimagined aftermath of the events depicted in the mid-season two episodes "The Big Game" and "Revelations".

Summary
The aftermath of Revelations
Spencer is struggling after Tobias, his coping methods are....subpar.
He felt exposed, raw, vulnerable - everyone gave him these knowing looks when his hands shook too much to continue geographical profiles, or when he stood up and had to pause for a moment to catch himself on the table.
They looked at him confused, however, when he left the bathroom stalls looking calmer, more collected (more unaware and much, much, much higher).Or: Spencer isn't coping after being back at work - to try to avoid slipping further into drug addiction he swaps it for another.

Summary
I can't remember the first time I gave into the urges, maybe after I was finally home from the kidnapping. All I remember was shaking and my heart racing, more than it ever had before. I just wanted to stop the constant screaming in my head, a plague on me since I was young. All I know is I have to keep it together, for the sake of my team, and the sake of my dignity.
-----------
I wrote this because I wanted to dig into what happened to Reid and flesh out more of the drug abuse plotline. Heavy angst warnings, this may be intense for some readers. Detailed drug use, flashbacks, anxiety attacks, trauma, and abuse is in this fic. -

Summary
“Now, who’s this?” Hotch asks, his face melting into something Spencer knows is born of being a father. It’s tender and warm and mirrors everything Spencer feels on the daily, but never knows how to express. Maybe it’s as simple as the look he can’t keep off his face.
Charlotte’s giggle keeps him smiling, with the added joke of, “I don’t know what you mean.”
“Well, I hate to break this to you, but I think you have a koala on your back.”
He feigns confusion: “A koala on my back—oh my goodness there’s a koala on my back!” He hoists her further up, tipping his head back to meet her eyes. “Hello miss, have you seen a koala around here?”
Charlotte fully laughs this time, her eyes squinting into the crow's feet he loves to see. “That’s me!”
Spencer Reid is twenty-five, and Charlotte Reid is six. This is how they come to be.
