Summary
The BAU have a new case - a string of suspicious suicides in Las Vegas with too many similarities to be coincidental. As they start to unravel the mystery, Derek becomes increasingly preoccupied by one of their key witnesses Spencer Reid, a chronic gambler and drug addict who never left the West Coast to join the BAU.
When it becomes obvious that there is a serial killer at work, the team utilises Spencer's intelligence to help crack the case. Derek, however, can't help but feel protective over the younger man, especially when the case takes a dangerous turn.
Spencer doesn't want his protection. He's lived his whole life fending for himself and barely just surviving. And yet, he finds that maybe he doesn't mind the fact that someone other than himself cares about his wellbeing.
Maybe, just maybe, the two of them will find their way to each other.
Or;
A universe where Spencer never joins the BAU, but crosses paths with them anyway.

Summary
An uncertain knock comes this time, making Buck realize he's still pressing both hands against it. Still gritting teeth and frowning hard.
"Mr. Barnes?"
"Who the hell are you?" Bucky calls back.
"John Walker," The man calls back, pausing before continuing, "I came to pick you up?"
The brunette doesn't budge from his place holding the door shut as though someone was trying to break it down. He doesn't say a word, staring at the faint lines of grain down the door as he tries to exhale calmer.
"For the apartment? Uh— I'm the guy they assigned to monitor you?" The unsure voice continues.

Summary
Buck’s life might not be what he imagined it to be while he grew up. But it doesn’t matter, because he has his beautiful baby girl and she means everything to him. But then someone from his past reemerges, and it stirs up feelings he’s tried to bury for years.
----
His dark hair is tussled around his head, sweaty from the helmet and probably a bit longer than it’s supposed to be, and his jaw is shadowed with stubble. In the fifteen years since Buck last saw him the boy he once knew has turned into a man, and Buck swallows to dampen his suddenly dry throat.
“Eddie.” He whispers hoarsely and the man blinks, once, twice before he hesitantly leans forward, like he’s about to step closer. -

Summary
“Um,” he squeaked, internally kicking himself when his voice cracked. “I… My name’s Han Jisung, I’m sixteen, and I…” He swallowed the lump in his throat, his knees pressing closer to his chest as he fumbled over what words were to come out of his mouth next. He didn’t want to say it, because in his heart it wasn’t true, but if he had asked any of his friends; his family, they’d all tell him the same thing.
“I tried to kill myself.”
or:
after a failed suicide attempt, jisung finds comfort in his peculiar new roommates in the psych ward.

Summary
The world has begun genetically engineering children, and while most are just engineered for health or beauty reasons, some are being engineered secretly by the government as part of a military program to save the country in the case of nuclear war. That's the function of 'the Program': to create the superhuman force responsible for being the "break statement" to Day Zero.
Enter the GEHED (Genetically Engineered Human Explosive Device), responsible for the destruction of enemy systems before they can even move. Katsuki Bakugo is one of the latest generation of GEHEDs created by the Program, and he's grown up knowing that if the end of the world starts, it's up to him and a bunch of other genetically engineered kids to stop it. But Katsuki hates the rest of the Program, especially the other kids in it, and has spent his life trying to escape the Program. What happens then when he's forced into a class where he has to work hand-in-hand with other program kids? Is Katsuki really human? Is anyone? Is the Program really the answer to the end of the world? Will any of them survive it? And what of the kids within it-- when the public finds out they exist, how will they react?

“Super powers aren’t his baseline. Or yours, for that matter.”
“What? Yes, they are.”
“Krypton’s red sun would beg to differ.” Superboy groans, nearly drowning out his words. “He doesn't have powers on his home planet, it absolutely counts! Wonder Woman, on the other hand, is magic.”
“Oh my God. You’re so annoying.”

Three Drives North (and One Drive Further) by sephaerie for Remiloveswriting
Fandoms: Call of Duty (Video Games)
13 Dec 2025
Tags
Summary
Three drives North - each tied to a death, each involving a mother, and each a checkpoint in the life of Simon "Ghost" Riley, before and after the mask. After that? One trip just a little further, for a different kind of family. A canon-adjacent glimpse at how he and Soap might have met before they were soldiers, when they were on different sides of that journey, and of two goodbyes - one unseen, one reimagined. A lot of angst (and a little smut).
