Summary
“I couldn’t protect him, Dave. Within half a year, I’ve failed him twice.” Aaron balanced his head onto his fingertips.
“You didn’t fail him, Aaron. Not now, and not when Maeve was murdered. We’re a team; no one is at any greater fault than the other for what’s happened . . .”
Aaron let out a heavy, lamenting sigh. “For this unsub—whatever the motivation was before, subjugating a law official is going to give him a transgressive high. Reid’s time with him—however short or long—is going to be unpleasant.”
Peculiarly dismembered men are unearthed in the forest, and the locals request the assistance of more experienced investigators. The profile is complex and mercurial, leaving the team without substantial evidence to work with. So they wait on their perpetrator to ignite a series of events that will supplement their data for assessment. They don’t foresee that data being one of their own. Darkness descends.And yet.

Summary
“They embrace for a few moments, soaking each other in with every ragged breath. They pretend, for a moment, that this is how they cope. They pretend the floor isn’t littered with beer bottles, and that Spencer is leaning into the hug so heavily because he loves it and not because he’s too weak from hunger to sit upright by himself. They pretend Derek’s knuckles are bruised and split open from hitting a punching bag, instead of hitting whatever was nearest to him at the time. “
Or, Reid struggles with an eating disorder post 6x18.

Summary
metanoia
[meh-ta-noy-a] - Greek
(n.) the journey of changing one's mind, heart, self, or way of life; spiritual conversion
-
Oh, Derek… He couldn’t stand the thought of him bursting in with SWAT in tow, gun at the ready, only to descend those creaky stairs and find his naked, bleeding body, vacated of life, crumbled on a red-stained mattress. The realization that he was going to die at the end of this was catching up to him, but maybe it would be better that way.
In which an unfortunate resemblance to an unsub's victims puts Reid right on his radar.

Summary
"As they walked to the bullpen, the pair began to draw stares from other agents. Derek had told them he was bringing his adopted brother to visit Quantico for the week. He had told him his brother needed extra help, had special needs, but not much else, because truthfully… he had no idea how to say 'Our mom is dead and I'm my brother's new guardian' without breaking down."
Wherein Derek and Spencer are actual brothers trying to figure out how to deal with a newly-shattered life, and its going to take the entire team to pick up the pieces and make them whole again.

Summary
“What do you say we up the stakes a bit? I’ll wager 500,000 on the next round,” the salesman offers.
“You want to punch me in the stomach now or something?” Gi-hun asks, suspiciously, one hand on his burning face.
“Of course not,” the salesman says, “I only want to play another game. If you win, I give you 500,000. If I win, you suck me off.
