I think singer!reader would sometimes join Spencer on a case, like when she's writing her new album. Cause who gives a fuck is she writes from her own home or a hotel room.
So after a tough day at work with a particularly difficult unsub, he gets back to his hotel room and she's just laying in beb humming some lyrics while tapping her hand on her leg
And everything is just so sweet and fluffy

Spencer was exhausted. The team had flown out to Washington state to help the Seattle police department on a case. It was grueling, truly. Involving kids, too much death, and a very persistent and hard-to-tame unsub.
This unsub was unlike anything he's seen in all of his years on the team. Yes, there were always the most heinous people they've dealt with– some people affecting those on his team– his family– but something about the man they had locked up made his stomach churn. Why would you ever want to hurt children?
His thoughts ran rampant on the subject as he sulked through the hotel lobby, into the elevator, and into his room. The stupor he’d been in shattered the moment he opened the door and a soft strum of a guitar played.
“Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da… Da-da-da-da”
He took his satchel off his shoulder and placed it on the chair by the door while toeing off his shoes. You were sitting on the bed in nothing but one of his shirts and socks (the way he left you this morning), while a guitar sat on your lap, pen in your hand, and notebook in front of you. He watched as you would hum and play before jotting down notes in the book. You were ethereal.
You had a small break in your tour schedule, and you were luckily also in Washington the same time the team was. Because of this, Spencer had practically begged you to stay with him while he was there for the short week. It took very little convincing before you were sprawled out on his sheets and whispering sweet nothings to each other.
You continued the pattern of singing and writing as Spencer made his way over and gently sat down, leaning his body to lay on the pillows behind you, eyes instantly closing at the melodic sound.
His presence caused a pause in your actions, and you turned to face him a bit. “Hey…” Your voice was soft– truly the perfect pitch for the setting you've created– and you placed your hand on his forehead, brushing the hair from his face. His eyebrows were slightly furrowed, clear with stress. “Do you want to talk?”
He shook his head slightly, nuzzling his face closer to your thigh and gently placing a kiss. His arms sluggishly wrapped around your waist, squeezing the tiniest bit before he spoke, “no… just want to listen to you.”
You just about melted into him. You knew there were times where he was affected by a case more than he normally would be, and those days, you'd be curled up together as you work on your new album. Today was one of those days.
“You want to hear the newest song?”
He turned his head so that his cheek rested on your thigh, but his eyes still met yours. He let out a soft “mhmm” as an excited glint appeared in his eyes.
“It's not done– clearly– and I think it'd sound better on piano, but the working title is Count On Me.”
Your fingers softly strum the guitar as Spencer lightly taps on your leg where his hands rest from his arms around you. A smile makes its way to your face before you start singing.
“This could be our last night together
We may never know
'Long as I'm alive, you'll never be alone
You'll never have to learn to take it on your own
I hope you die first so you'll never know
What it's like
Without somebody
To lean on”
You continue to play, and Spencer holds onto you tighter. You look down quickly to make sure he’s okay, but all there is is a look of adoration beaming from him.
You give him the same look, and then pick up on the strumming.
“Count on me
And I'll be there
Whenever you call me
Oh, I will come running
I'll be
On the next plane home
Whenever you need me
Oh, I will be there
Count on me
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da”
Your fingers begin to slowly fade out on the guitar, and once you stop, you gently place the instrument to the side, and give Spencer your full attention. “So?”
He pulls you down so that you're laying with him, and he maneuvers himself to lightly lay between your thighs, his arms still around you. “I love you.”
You chuckle and drag your fingers around his forehead to go down his cheek. “I was talking about the song.”
He hums with a smile– a smile that reaches his eyes– and he leans up a bit to capture your lips with his. The kiss is light, but it speaks more than a thousand words. When he pulls back, nothing but honesty litters his face. “That might be my favorite one yet.”
“Really?” You search his eyes for an inkling of a lie, but again, you find nothing but the truth. “I love you, too.”
His forehead goes to rest on your chest and he’s quiet for a moment. “Thank you.”
His thanks confuses you. “For what,” you ask, as you run your fingers through his hair.
“For everything. Loving me, making me feel safe, making me happy.”
His words are simple, but they make you feel like the luckiest woman in the world.
"If tampons should be free, then so should my diabetes meds."
Yes? Yes they should be? Your life-saving medication that you need in order to live for a condition you were born with should be given to you at no cost?
At the risk of sounding anti-intellectual, I think that college should be free and also not a requirement for employment outside of highly specialized career fields
