It's pushing yourself when you haven't been sleeping right.

[ He's not going to argue — Spencer won't be thrilled if he's not allowed to work. But he is going to keep an eye out. ]

𝐃𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐤 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧 @alliedaudacity.bsky.social · Mar 28

Don't push yourself, Reid.

[ It's a quick text to JJ to drop copies of the papers off for Reid to look over. ]

She'll be by in about ten minutes.

𝐃𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐤 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧 @alliedaudacity.bsky.social · Mar 28

It's not a question of how fast you read, pretty boy. You're not supposed to be working.

[ He nudges Spencer's shoulder. ]

I'll text JJ.

𝐃𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐤 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧 @alliedaudacity.bsky.social · Mar 28

I can ask Hotch to drop them off. Or JJ, she's more likely to break that rule if I ask.

𝐃𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐤 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧 @alliedaudacity.bsky.social · Mar 28

I can't say it'll be bedtime reading.

[ Derek opens the pictures on his phone and passes them over for Spencer to begin looking through. ]

𝐃𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐤 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧 @alliedaudacity.bsky.social · Mar 28

I bet I can keep you awake, sweet thing. What do you need from me?

𝐃𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐤 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧 @alliedaudacity.bsky.social · Mar 28

They're not working anything right now. It's a guy we picked up a couple months back — finally got access to all of his journals, and Hotch is thinking we might find clues to where he buried other bodies in his writing.

𝐃𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐤 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧 @alliedaudacity.bsky.social · Mar 28

[ Derek nudges Spencer's leg lightly with one hand, glancing at him with a faint grin. ]

Unofficially, I'll let the kid look at anything you send, too, but I'll keep it off the record. Later, Hotch.

Send anything over you want me to look at and I'll give it a look.

[ Derek has taken a little bit of time to pick up anything else that might have been knocked to the floor before he'd gotten there, and he's cleaned up just a little bit — hasn't moved anything, hadn't tried to reorganize, just cleaned some. He's on his phone when Spencer comes out, seemingly mid

Sure, kid.

[ Derek watches Spencer over the rim of his cup, careful to keep his analyzing to a minimum. He doesn't try to profile Spencer, but it's easy when Spencer wears his emotions on his face.]

make you weak or bad at your job.

𝐃𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐤 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧 @alliedaudacity.bsky.social · Mar 22

Yeah, I did. And not every call I made helped me get there. We all do things that we may regret after the fact.

[ Derek shrugs slightly and takes a drink from his coffee, debating what he should and shouldn't say. Ultimately, he doesn't know how much anything he says will help Spencer. ]

Doesn't

I like baseball fine, prefer playing to watching. But football is my game.

Dr. Spencer Reid @misunderstoodmind.bsky.social · Mar 22

No? What did you prefer?

Yknow, it was never really my game.

and worked out every day, I was a thirteen year old kid raised by a single mother in the south side of Chicago. And let me tell you, that kid never thought he'd be here.

[ Derek keeps a pretty tight lock on anything that might shake his image. Anything that might reveal too much. It's only been a few months since he almost went to prison for the locks he keeps shut tight. ]

Yeah? Well, before I was authorized to carry a gun and a badge, before I played football

You know a pretty carefully crafted version of me that I put forward at work. It's not the whole story.

𝐃𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐤 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧 @alliedaudacity.bsky.social · Mar 22

That's a lot of assumption about what I would and wouldn't do in a situation you've never seen me in. I know I've made choices you wouldn't make. I made a choice that almost cost me my life, and even knowing exactly how that turned out, I'd make the same choice. We're not the same, Reid.

We all make choices, Reid.

𝐃𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐤 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧 @alliedaudacity.bsky.social · Mar 22

I'm not talking about right and wrong. You did something to help yourself survive a bad situation, after something horrible was done to you. There's not a right or wrong, it's just what happened. A choice was made, and we're here now.

[ Derek opens the cabinet and pulls out a couple of mugs,
