Summary
He’s fine.
That’s what Spencer tells himself every morning, as he buttons his shirt too tightly and knots his tie just right. That’s what he repeats in his head when he walks into the BAU with a perfectly timed smile, when he laughs a second too late at a joke he doesn’t understand, when the silence in his apartment at night hums louder than the city outside.
He’s fine.
He has to be.Because if he’s not, then what is he?

Summary
Genius, neurodivergent or both ? Spencer Reid might be the boy genius of the BAU, but Penelope Garcia is the "Oracle" of the BAU !
Just a series of one shots centered around Penelope Garcia and/or Spencer Reid (depending on the one shot). I just wanted to explore one of my favorite duo dynamic and thought this might be a good way to do so ! -

Summary
Spencer Reid grew up believing love was sacrifice. So when Ryan lashes out, belittles, and dominates, Spencer doesn’t flee. He convinces himself it’s just part of love—that this is what it means to be chosen.
To the BAU, Ryan is perfect: supportive, charming, everything Spencer deserves. So when Spencer pulls away—lashing out, crumbling apart—they assume he’s falling back in old habits. No one asks. No one sees.
Bruised, isolated, and breaking, Spencer still believes in one thing: Love demands pain. And Ryan agrees.

Summary
“You’re not supposed to be here.”
Nate turned to find a young man sitting on his cot, knees drawn up to his chest, and books scattered around the room in various stacks. Long hair fell in his face, bandages wound around his arms, and his eyes glassy but fixed on him.
“I’m filling in for Dr. Devin for the weekend, he won a last minute cruise. I’m Dr. Johanna.”
“You’re not a doctor.”
Nate raised an eyebrow. “Four years of medical school and I’m not a doctor. My mother would be so disappointed.”
“You never went to medical school,” the patient said with a hint of amusement.
“What makes you say that?”
“Your shoes,” the boy said.
Nate looked down. “…my shoes?”
“They’re not comfortable. The first lesson you learned in your residency after spending hours on your feet would be that you needed a decent pair of shoes to make it to the end of the day.”
The Leverage Team has handled everything from thieves, conmen, and even corrupt politicians but serial killers is a little out of their jurisdiction. At least, until they stumble across Dr. Spencer Reid while on a case. Reid’s been accused of thirteen murders, but something’s not adding up.

And for two years, they'd been learning each other once again, and Ethan had done his duty and treated his second chance like a very fine china dish. Careful. Precious. Special.He didn't count on Spencer leaving him again.
