    Summary

    There’s a killer loose on the streets of California, targeting drug-addicted prostitutes after watching them have sex with their clients. With the murders excelling at an alarming rate, Spencer comes up with the controversial idea to go undercover; he’ll pose as the perfect prostitute, and the killer will target him instead of a citizen. Morgan’s not happy with letting him out in the field by himself, and so Spencer offers a solution: Derek can act as the client.

    By the time they’re up against each other at the back of the club, it doesn’t feel like either of them are acting anymore.

    Summary

    nemesism (n.): frustration, anger, or aggression directed inward toward oneself and one's way of living
    --
    Spencer Reid has never had it easy. He struggles with obsessive-compulsive disorder and autism on a daily basis, masking at work so his colleagues don't see him as weak. It seemed like a highly necessary plan; pretend at work, never let them see who he really was.

    But after years of bottling up emotions, he picked up several unhealthy coping mechanisms. Not long after he managed to kick his dug addiction, he returned to his oldest-learned mechanism: self-harm.

    After several weeks of worrying behavior and an especially triggering case, Derek Morgan asks to stay the night to make sure his friend was okay, and Spencer regrettably agrees. And then his whole world is turned upside-down.
    --
    This was created after I realized how unrealistically these topics are portrayed in many other fics. There is a dire need for a realistic explanation of addiction, recovery, and the ups and downs of real life, and I decided to give that to the AO3 world. That being said, keep in mind: it is hard, gritty, and painful. But, just like life, things do get better in the end.

    Summary

    They start to learn about him fairly quickly. About how he forgets to eat because he gets so focused on his work, and how he’s only 22 years old with three PhDs, and how he refuses to talk about his family, changing the subject if anyone asks. He’s very secretive about his private life in general, turning down invitations to go out with the team but refusing to say why, and rarely offering any information about his everyday life in casual conversation. He’s closed up tight, and Morgan can’t help but wonder what he’s hiding.
