Summary
❝AND I WILL KISS EVERY SINGLE SCAR ON YOUR BODY AND SOUL, TO REMIND YOU THAT LOVE DOESN'T HAVE TO HURT.❞
— Ginnie Bale
⊱✿⊰
You've sworn off relationships. Spencer’s never had one.
The moment you first enter the BAU, Spencer is inexplicably drawn to you. However, he quickly comes to find that you’re more distant than his favorite lenticular galaxy (which is approximately three hundred twenty-seven million light years away, for the record). Spencer knows better than to assume that what meets the eye—that is, a cold and painfully aloof demeanor—is all that’s to be found.
His assumption would be correct. You only keep your heart locked away in a (nearly) impenetrable fortress because you’re tired of it being mistreated. Although you’ve been deeply hurt in the past, there’s this little glimmer of hope onto which you cling desperately. The truth is, you want nothing more than to offer your trust to someone, to be completely vulnerable with them, and to feel utterly safe. Your track record of interpersonal relationships—friends, family, the like—may suggest that you’re just too jaded to love again.
Good thing that Spencer loves a challenge.

Summary
Series summary: Your world crushes when Spencer is arrested. Between finding a way to get him out and keeping you afloat, there is something else you need to focus on, too. And even when you thought things couldn’t go worse, a tragedy makes you question if you can make it through.
Series warnings: ANGST (with CAPS). 18+ (MDNI). Some heavy topics will be discussed and shown here. Prison arc, but mostly from Reader's perspective and Emily’s. More detailed under the cut.
-------
Spencer lies to his wife. Drug consumption (against their will). Pregnancy symptoms. Spencer is in jail for more than three months. Hospital visits, doctor’s info dumping (not accurate). Alcohol consumption. Arguing. Strong language. A lot of crying. Emotional breakdowns. A car crash happens (as in the CM storyline). Character dies. More hospital things. Miscarriage. More angst. Depressing symptoms. Mourning. Self-doubt. Suicidal ideation, and almost consummated. Emily is everyone’s emotional support.
A/N: This idea was requested a long time ago, and although I thought about making it shorter, it wouldn't be enough for me. I hope you like it despite all the angst. I tried to make the ending with a light at the end of the road.Bookmarked by Phantomoftherose
