THE MOB-BOSS-TO-BE, AND THE FBI AGENT WHO NEVER STOPPED LOOKING FOR HER.
── .⟢ a house of cards au.
no but seriously imagine it: what if, instead of chapter 18 playing out as it did, angel agreed to rejoin the CC? what if she left the BAU, left spencer, and returned to seattle? what if she became the person she was always meant to be?
and what if spencer spent years searching for her, his angel? what if he finally found her, only to realise that she was no longer the person he remembered? the person he loved?
...and what if, despite everything, he fell in love with her all over again?

you can blame @thecrimsonfog for this......never ask a "what if" question unless you want me to take it and run with it.
this very hypothetical alternate universe/spin-off would lean heavily into the mafia romance vibe where angel, almost unrecognisable compared to her BAU days, asks spencer to help her investigate a series of highly sophisticated, almost untraceable murders of people close to the cohors cordium—only if he wants to, of course.
...but how could he ever say no to his angel?
basically: secret mob wife spencer & his super rich, super intimidating girlfriend that he still refers to as "angel" despite her being so, so far removed from that version of herself. ouch. clinging to the past, much?
spencer reid is not your lover, and you'd rather die before you called him a friend. he is, without a doubt, the most insufferable person you have ever met. you hate him, unequivocally, and he hates you.
...and yet you can't seem to leave each other alone.
you're caught in his orbit, trapped in an unending dance of bitter back-and-forths remedied with nights of passion, only to wake up and have it all begin again; the harsh words that cover repressed feelings, the resentful facades that neither of you can let go of. you find your way back to each other after every case, in every hotel, and you ignore what is most obvious in the hopes that, maybe, it will go away.
but something has to give—and it will, whether you're ready for it or not.
a three-part mini series following the FBI's least favourite duo as they struggle to come to terms with their feelings.
series & part titles from the maroon 5 album "overexposed".
one more night | ❀
after every case, the same bad decisions draw you and spencer reid together like magnets. you tell each other it's just sex, that you hate each other, but you can't deny the way your ribs ache when he kisses you, and he can't hide the jealousy he feels when you insinuate that he's not the only person you're sleeping with.
lucky strike | ❀
over-the-phone hostage negotiation is, you are quick to learn, one of the worst ways to spend an evening. especially when your car breaks down and you are left stranded in a motel with a spencer reid who seems intent on pushing all your buttons.
love somebody | (?)
a mortifying memory, a near-death experience, and a much needed conversation; the perfect combination to get two tight-strung agents to finally address what has gone ignored for far too long.
