“Hey, that’s my job!”
Tumblr media
REQUESTS ARE OPEN!!! 
Check my bio for the characters I write for!                                                   
@carolinesbookworld​  I've got a Spencer request for you! I too have fallen down the hole and he is now the loml. Anyway, what if it's like his girlfriend has insomnia and he always brings her coffee on days he knows she had an especially bad night and then one time it's reversed where he had a bad night so she brings him coffee and he's like "no that's my job" but it's super sweet.
Fandom: Criminal Minds
Pairing: Spencer Reid x Reader
Word Count: 899
Warnings: Fluff :)
A/N: THIS WAS SO MUCH FUN TO WRITE OMG!!! I definitely don't think it's my best fic though because I don't think I portrayed Spence quite right but whatever :)
   You stared at your ceiling in the darkness. No matter how hard you tried you could not get to sleep. Tonight was an especially bad night for some reason and all you wanted and needed was some rest. You tossed and turned once again. You could never get comfortable. You kicked your sheets off and got up, glancing at the alarm clock. It was 4:57. You had to get up in less than two hours to get ready for your job at the BAU earlier than usual. You knew it would be almost impossible to get any sleep at all at this time of the night. You had already taken NyQuil but it seemed to have no effect on you at all. You walked slowly over to your bathroom, shivering in the cold night air. Splashing water onto your face and looking at your reflection in the mirror, you could see the bags under your eyes. You sighed, not looking forward to having to go to work.
   Walking slowly over to your bed again, you pulled the covers over your body, closed you eyes, and willed yourself to just sleep.
   The alarm clock on your nightstand rang, startling you. You had only gotten thirty minutes of sleep. Great. You hurried to the bathroom and grabbed your brush, running it through your hair quickly. Concealer did nothing to hide the darkness under your eyes. At least you tried. Quickly picking an outfit, you grabbed your car keys and purse and locked your apartment door behind you. 
   Driving to work was not the best idea, since you could barely keep your eyes on the road, but it was your only choice since you were already running late. You soon arrived, parking your car and practically running to the entrance of the BAU. The familiar sounds of the office greeted you. Hopefully today wouldn't be a busy day. Walking over to your desk, you glanced over at Spence. He was deep in thought, staring intently at the papers on his desk, but he could still tell that you had arrived. Usually, you stopped by his desk to greet him, but you completely forgot today. Spence glanced up at you and became worried. He knew how bad your insomnia could get at some times, even though you had never spoken about it to him. Spence sighed sadly, seeing the darkness under your eyes. He wished he could make everything better, but there wasn’t much that he could do. 
   Walking over to the coffee maker, he started to make a coffee for you, knowing it would help just a little bit. He patiently waited for the coffee to be made. Soon, he was walking over to you. He gently set the cup down in front of you and leaned slightly against your desk, smiling sadly as he looked down at you. “I hope that helps a little,” he said gently.
   You looked up at Spence, surprised that he had noticed how tired you were. You thought that you had done a good job at hiding it, but then again, Spence seemed to know everything (maybe because he was a literal genius). 
   Smiling as you looked up at him, you took a sip of the coffee he had brought you. "Thanks," you murmured.
   Spence still seemed worried. "How bad was it?"
   You hesitated before answering. He was going to figure out the truth anyway, so you might as well not lie.
   "I...I don't know. It's been getting really bad recently." You looked down awkwardly. "It just seems like nothing helps and I don't know what to do."
   Spence started to rub your back. He wasn't one for physical affection, so you were surprised by how caring he had become. You smiled to yourself, enjoying his touch.
                                                - a few days later -
   It was another day at the BAU. You had arrived early to get some extra work done. After a while, Spence still hadn't arrived and you became worried. He was always early or right on time. Eventually though, he arrived, but he looked terrible. His hair was a mess and his clothes were rumpled. He sat down at his desk, ran his fingers through his hair, and ruffled through some papers. You furrowed your eyebrows while looking at him. Suddenly, you realized why he might've not gotten good sleep last night. The case the team had been working on was an extremely rough one and it might've struck a nerve with Spence. You got up, realizing that a coffee would definitely help him. You quickly made the coffee and brought it over to him, just like he had done for you many times before.
   Spence looked up at you smiling. "Hey, that's my job!"
   You chuckled. "Well now it's my job too." On a more serious note, you really wanted to check up on Spence and see if he was doing alright. This job was a tough one sometimes.
   "Do you want to talk about it?"
   He hesitated. "I...maybe later."
   You nodded, completely understanding. You rubbed his shoulder affectionately and got back to your desk. Sighing, you rubbed your head. Sometimes you wondered how you and the team were still alive and able to function. Getting back to your work, you reassured yourself that Spence was alright and that he would talk to you about whatever was worrying him when he was ready.

“Your hair is getting long”
A/N: Hey y’all, sorry that I’ve been inactive for quite a few months now, I honestly completely forgot about this account because I just made it for fun to write about my favorite characters :) Sorry to those of you who sent in requests, I hope that I can get to them eventually. Anyways, here’s a cute Spencer Reid imagine for you!
Tumblr media
REQUESTS ARE OPEN!!! 
Check my bio for the characters I write for!!!                                                    
@s0urdrop​ Hey, I really love your imagines & I kinda have an idea for one! Reader & Spencer are together & she cuts his hair sometimes if it gets too long & fluff ensues. Once again, LOVE your work ❤
A/N: Thank you so much!! I hope you like it ❤
Fandom: Criminal Minds
Pairing: Spencer Reid x Reader
Word Count: 487
Warnings: None, just tons of fluff
   It was a quiet day so far at the apartment that you and Spencer shared. You both had gotten the day off from work and were excited to spend the day just taking a break since your jobs at the BAU were stressful at times. All you had done all day was cuddle with Spence on the couch and watch your favorite movies together. You loved the feeling of his arms around you and you felt so safe. It was pure bliss. You looked up at him from your comfy position on his chest and smiled.
    You reached up and gently touched his hair. “Your hair is getting long,” you murmured, still smiling.
   Spence looked down at you fondly. He knew that you loved to cut his hair. He pretended that he hated it but he actually found it very relaxing when you brushed it and massaged his scalp. “Aw man, again? But what if I like it longer?” he said with puppy eyes.
   You giggled and went to go get the scissors from the bathroom. “C’mon, can I please cut it? You know you love me,” you said jokingly with a grin on your face.
   He pretended to be exasperated and rolled his eyes. “Ughh fine I guess you can.”
   “Yayyyyy!!” you said as you laughed. Spence laughed at your adorable face and sat down at the vanity. You put a cloth over the sink to catch all of the hair so you didn't make a mess and gently started to brush his hair out. It was so smooth and silky between your fingers and you would often spend way too much time brushing it just because you loved the way it felt. Eventually, though, you grabbed the scissors and started to make careful cuts, being extremely careful not to mess up. Spencer looked at you in the mirror, smiling to himself at the concentrated look on your face. He thought that you took this too seriously, since he didn’t really care how he looked all that much, but he let you continue because he knew how much you loved it. 
   Eventually, you were satisfied with how his hair looked. Spence had to admit that it looked much better after you were done and he really had been needing a trim for a while. 
   “Okay, go take a shower really quick. I don’t want hair all over the floor again like last time.”
   He smiled down at you and kissed you gently, cupping your face in his hands. “Only if you say you love me.”
   You smiled. “I love youuuu.”
   “I love you too.” He gave you one last peck on the lips before he excused himself to take a shower and you smiled to yourself as you cleaned up. You loved him with all your heart and you were so glad that you got to spend so much time with the love of your life.

“I’m sorry...I’m so sorry.” (Spencer Reid Imagine)
Tumblr media
@princeza-tame​ Hi! I saw your post about imagines with Spencer. Would you like to write one where the reader got wounded during a chase while paired with Spencer, they get into a building and get stuck so Spencer tries to help the reader, clean the wound somehow or maybe bandage it up while blaming himself for all that happened. So basically angst mixed with fluff? If you feel like it, of course 😊 I'm a big Spencer fan as well! PS. You are awesomeeee! 💞
A/N: I had so much fun writing this!! This was definitely my favorite imagine request that I have ever received so far💕(btw sorry I didn’t include the chase part of the request, I had major writer’s block and just decided to leave it out, I hope that’s okay).
Fandom: Criminal Minds
Pairing: Spencer Reid x Reader (feat. Aaron Hotchner)
Word Count: 1,599
Warnings: Some fluff but mostly angst and one curse word. Just the one.
   You stared outside, anxious of what was ahead of you. The BAU had just received an anonymous tip that the unsub was in an abandoned building near them. Hotch is currently speeding down the road, a concerned look on his face. He was worried that the unsub had already killed the girl he kidnapped, since it had been over twenty-four hours from her disappearance. Morgan was in the front seat with him and you and Reid were riding in the back. You continued to stare out the window, fiddling with your gun. You had seen so many dead bodies in your lifetime that they never really phased you anymore, but something about this case was different. You couldn’t see that poor girl die. You would rather give up your life for her than see the terror in her eyes…
   “You alright?”
   You glanced over at Spence, nodding. “Yeah…I don’t know. Something about this is off. I don’t know what.”
   He gave you an encouraging smile. “I’m sure it’ll be alright. Just stick to the plan and we should be fine.”
   You looked down at your lap nervously. You had discussed previously with the team exactly what you were going to say to the unsub to prevent the girl from being in serious danger.
   You felt a hand on a shoulder. “Hey, I’m serious. I’ve got your back. If anything goes wrong, I’ll be right there.”
   Glancing up at him, you smiled. You blushed a little and realized just how much you loved him. He noticed you blushing and smiled to himself. Hotch and Morgan were both oblivious to your conversation, since they were both on the phone, specifying details about the building they were speeding towards.
   You were suddenly at the scene.  You felt a rush of adrenaline as your heart sped up. You practically jumped out of your seat as you adjusted your bulletproof vest and took your gun out of its holster. You scanned the building you were about to risk your life in. It looked like it could collapse at any minute. You shook your head, clearing your mind, and jogged over to the door. Reid, Hotch, and Morgan followed you. You nodded at Reid, who opened the door quickly. You rushed inside, pointing your gun both ways.
   “Clear,” you said under your breath.
   Hotch motioned for you and the rest of the team. “Morgan and I are going to cover another part of the building. We need to split up; this facility is huge. We’ll never get through it all as a group. The unsub shouldn’t fight back. He’s been displaying many signs of remorse and we think he’s going to give himself in soon. Just be careful.”
   You and Reid were left alone in silence. “Okay. Let’s go.”
   You walked towards the next doorway, scanning your surroundings. The unsub had obviously been here. It was a mess. You continued searching numerous rooms for what seemed like forever. Finally, you saw a closed door ahead of you. It sounded like there were muffled cries coming from it. You pointed your pistol at the door and nodded. Spencer opened the door slowly, and you quickly pointed your gun at the unsub, staying a distance away from him but never breaking eye contact.
   The unsub held the girl with a knife to her throat. He looked huge compared to her as she cowered in his arms. The girl was blindfolded and gagged. You couldn’t fathom how terrified she must have been. The unsub looked at you with his teary, bloodshot eyes. You spread your arms and slowly set your gun down on the hardwood floor.
   “We’re not going to hurt you. Release the girl and no harm will come to you.”
   He looked at you, terrified. “Take off your vest,” he mumbled under his breath.
   ‘”I’m afraid I can’t-”
   He interrupted you with a shaky voice. “Take off your vest n-now or…or I’ll kill her…n-now!!” he suddenly burst out.
   You made eye contact with Reid before slowly taking off your vest. Reid still had his gun pointed directly pointed at the man. You set your vest down next to the gun.
   “I did what you asked. Now release the girl and no harm will come to you.”
   He looked at you again, and something changed in his eyes. You immediately saw it. It was as if he was unveiling a mask of some sort. You had no time to react. He suddenly lunged at Spencer, knife in hand, and knocked him to the ground, sending his gun skidding across the floor. You reached for your gun, but he was faster. He cut deeply into your abdomen and you let out a muffled cry of pain. The unsub jumped out of the window and onto the roof with the girl and started to climb down a ladder. You knew the team should have waited for backup, but it was too risky.
   You didn’t realize how much blood you had lost until now. It was all over the floor and your shirt was soaked. You tried to stand up, but failed and slid down against the wall, trying to put pressure on your wound. Spencer slowly sat up to look at you, rubbing his head. The unsub must’ve knocked him out. He got up, panicking when he saw you leaning against the wall with blood everywhere.
   “Y/N/N…Y/N! It’s going to be all right, I’ve got you.”
   He took off his vest quickly and shrugged off his cardigan. He attempted to soak up the blood with his cardigan and put pressure on your wound to help stem the bleeding.
   “I’m sorry…I’m so sorry,” he murmured.
   You looked up weakly and glanced over at the window. “He went…through there…and…” you took a deep breath. Your breathing was getting shakier and you kept seeing black spots swimming in your vision. “Spence…” you passed out, having lost too much blood. Your blood was all over Reid’s hands too. Reid was near tears. He didn’t think it was that severe of a cut, but if you kept losing blood at this rate…he didn’t want to think about it. He should have been the one to take off his vest and put his gun down. None of this would have happened and Y/N would’ve been safe. He glanced at his phone. There wasn’t any reception.
   “Shit.” Reid took a shaky breath. “Morgan! Hotch! We need medics!” his voice cracked and he looked down at you.
   Suddenly, Hotch, Morgan, and a couple of policeman burst into the room.
   Medics swarmed around you and you were soon carried into an ambulance and were driven off to the hospital. Reid just stood there, staring at the puddle of blood you had left behind. Hotch came up behind him.
   “What happened?” he asked, concern lacing his voice.
   “The unsub…he told Y/N to take off the vest and put her gun down. He’d been faking remorse this whole time. I…I should’ve known. He wasn’t going to go down without a fight and-”
   “Reid,” Hotch cut him off, “This isn’t your fault in any way. I was the one who told her to do that, not you. There is no way that either one of us could’ve known that this was a ruse.”
   Reid looked at him with tears in his eyes. “What if…”
   “Y/N is going to be fine. The medics said she lost a lot of blood but she should be out of the hospital in a few days.”
   Reid nodded. He took a deep breath and picked up your vest and gun. The team headed back to Quantico to end the day.
                                                   The next day
  Reid and Hotch sat in the waiting room of the hospital, anxiously waiting to visit you in your room. After what seemed like an eternity, the nurse finally let them in.
   You looked up at the pair weakly. “Is the girl okay? Did you catch the unsub?” you mumbled. It was taking all of your strength to stay awake right now. Your lower abdomen felt like it was on fire.
   “Yes, the girl is fine and we caught the unsub. He’s in custody right now and is facing a life sentence in jail.”
   You let out a deep breath and closed your eyes. “Good…good.”
   Hotch moved closer to your bed, while Reid stayed farther away from you. He still felt guilty, despite what Hotch had said earlier, and couldn’t bear to see you in pain.
   “Y/N, I’m very sorry. I should’ve seen that the unsub could’ve done this. It wasn’t a good idea to split up. I’m sorry that this had to happen to you, and-”
   You interrupted him and shook your head. “Hotch, it’s fine. I’m okay, alright? No one could’ve seen what he did. He tricked all of us.”
   He nodded, backing away. Before he left, he nodded at Reid, leaving you two alone.
   “Hi,” you smiled up at him.
   He looked at you with concern. He was about to say something, but then looked down at his feet. He realized that he didn’t know what to say at a time like this.
   “You know it’s not your fault,” you said.
   All Reid could do was nod.
   “Hey. I love you, you know.”
   He looked up at you with surprise. This was the first time you had said that to him. “I…I love you too.”
   You smiled, closing your eyes. You fell asleep within seconds. Reid walked over to you carefully. He placed a kiss on your forehead and looked fondly down at you. “I love you so much,” he whispered.

Can I get a cute Spencer Reid imagine please
“You’re going to be okay. I’ve got you.”(Spencer Reid Imagine)
Tumblr media
Fandom: Criminal Minds
Pairing: Spencer Reid x Reader
Word Count: 386
Warnings: Too much fluff
Synopsis: The team is flying back to Quantico after a long case. Everyone is asleep except for you and Spencer. You don’t want to rest because you are scared of your nightmares.
Y/N/N: Your nick name
    You sighed as you flipped through yet another case file. You felt like you couldn’t focus on anything at the moment because you were so tired, but you didn’t want to admit it. Your nightmares…scared you. You woke up every night because of them and you didn’t know what to do about it. Some turbulence shook the plane, snapping you out of your reverie. Everyone else on the plane was sound asleep except for you and Spencer. He was sitting next to you reading a book, turning a page every five seconds with ease. You couldn’t see the title but you assumed it was interesting. You didn’t realize that you had been staring at him until he glanced over at you.
    His eyebrows furrowed with concern. “Are you okay? You look like you need rest.”
    You blinked a few times, clearing your head. “No, I’m fine. I just-”
    “Y/N/N, please don’t lie to me. I see the bags under your eyes. You have almost fallen asleep on me four times in the past,” he glanced at his watch, “thirty minutes. You’ve gotten no sleep in exactly thirty five hours and you look terrible.”
    You opened your mouth to say something but abruptly closed it. He was right. “Spence, do you remember that little boy who…died in that house fire? The one that the unsub killed?”
    He nodded, seeing where your story was going.
    “Um…” you looked down at your hands awkwardly, “I’ve…um…been having nightmares about that ever since.” You took a deep breath in an attempt to calm yourself. “That’s why I haven’t been sleeping well. I don’t want to see his face again and again every time I close my eyes.”
    Spencer hated to see you like this. He knew exactly how you felt. He slowly wrapped his arms around you and pulled you closer to him. “If I’m here, do you think it’ll help?”
    You smiled a little bit, loving the feeling of him. He was so warm and soft and you just wanted to cuddle him all day. “I hope so…”
    “You’re going to be okay. I’ve got you.”
    You let your eyes close. It felt so good to finally rest. You were asleep within a minute in Spencer’s arms. For the first time in a long time, you didn’t have any nightmares.

Hello! You have a lovely prompt list:) I was wondering if I could request #1 with Captain Jack Sparrow. Thank you!
“I’m…really cold.” (Jack Sparrow Imagine)
Tumblr media
A little author’s note: Thank you so much to the person who requested this! It is my first time receiving a request and I hope you enjoy my work. :)
Fandom: Pirates of the Caribbean
Word Count: 536 (sorry it’s kind of short)
Warnings: A little alcohol and literally one swear word
Synopsis: It’s a rough and cold night on The Pearl and Jack tries to make you feel as comfortable as possible.
   Time seemed to freeze when you were sailing in the open sea. You stand at the bow of the ship with your eyes closed, feeling the wind on your face. You loved the feeling of freedom sailing gave you. You felt like all your problems just…disappeared completely.
   Captain Jack, leaning against the mast, finished off the rest of his rum. The bottle was abruptly thrown to the ground, shattering into a million pieces with a crash. You jumped a little and opened your eyes.
   “Dammit, Sparrow,” you muttered under your breath as a sigh escaped your lips.
   You rested your chin on your hands and continued to stare off into the horizon. A storm was fast approaching; you could see the dark gray clouds looming in the distance. It was going to be a rough night. Jack appeared next to you and rested his arms on the ledge.
   “Storm’s comin’, mate. Better get inside soon.”
   You nodded without looking at him and closed your eyes.
   “What’s wrong with yeh, Y/N?” he asked you with genuine worry in his voice.
   You shook your head. “Nothing.”
   Sparrow glanced over at you. You could feel his stare on you and ignored it. Eventually, he staggered away and took the stairs down to the lower deck, most likely to get some rest before tomorrow. You took your last deep breath of fresh air and reluctantly followed Jack down to the lower deck. It smelled absolutely horrid in there. Every crew member was asleep and snoring on an old, dirty hammock that looked like it had been there since the beginning of time. There was mold, dust, and dirt covering everything. All in all, The Pearl was not the best place to spend the night. However, you had no choice. You settled down on a hammock near you and realized just how exhausted you really were. It had been a long day and it would soon be a long night. You eventually fell into a deep, restless sleep.
                                               - a few hours later -
   You opened your eyes, still tired out of your mind. You squinted outside of a window, only to find that it was pitch black outside. Rain was being pelted against the window and you could feel the whole ship rocking violently. You looked down to find yourself shivering as goosebumps covered your whole body. You shivered once more and tried to get into a more comfortable position on your hammock. You had the nagging feeling that someone was looking at you. You opened your eyes, only to find Jack staring at you once more.
   “You okay, mate?” he asked quietly.
   You shivered yet again. “I’m…really cold.”
   He got up from his hammock and proceeded to search for something among the rubbish. He eventually found a blanket in decent condition and brought it over to you. He placed it on top of you gently, nodded once, and made his way back to his hammock. Jack wasn’t one for affection, so that one small gesture meant a lot to you. Although the blanket didn’t do much to block out the cold, you still went to sleep with a comforting warmth in your heart. You smiled as you drifted off.

“But for now, just sleep.”
Tumblr media
REQUESTS ARE OPEN
Fandom: BBC Sherlock
Word Count: 509
Warnings: Fluff
Synopsis: You are having trouble helping Sherlock with his case because you are tired but refuse to sleep because you are scared of having another nightmare.
   You had been working all day with Sherlock in his flat on a new case. John had agreed to help about halfway through the day after seeing how little progress you two had made. You swiveled around from your position at the table and looked out the window into the cold London night and wished you could just go to sleep for once. Your nightmares prevented you from getting a good sleep every single night. Today was the worst night to actually feel tired because Sherlock really needed your help. Well, at least you thought he needed your help.
   You turned the screen brightness on your laptop down to help the strain on your eyes and continued to scour the internet for possible leads. There were books of all kinds surrounding your work space on the table. Sherlock sat across from you examining something under his microscope. John checked the time on his watch.
   “I had better get back to Mary. It’s already 10 p.m. and she’s probably tired of taking care of Rosie.”
   He got up from his chair and grabbed his laptop. “I’ll see you tomorrow, then,” he said as he made his way to the stairs. “Oh, and Y/N, make sure you get some sleep, okay?”
   You nodded in reply even though you planned to stay up all night working. You continued to stare at the screen of your laptop as you rested your head on your hand.
   “You really do need sleep, you know,” Sherlock suddenly said.
   You shook your head. “I’m fine.”
   “No, you’re not. I know that you are scared of having another nightmare, Y/N, but you have to sleep. You are no help to this case if you are not well-rested.”
   You sighed, knowing that there was no point in arguing with Sherlock. You slowly got up from your chair, but lost your balance within seconds. Sherlock was by your side in no time at all, supporting you with his hands on your shoulders.
   “It’s alright, I’m here now,” he reassured you. He slowly led you to the couch and gently supported you as you lied down. 
   “Sherlock...what if-what if I have another...another nightmare? I don’t even know what’s going to happen and-”
   “I'll be right here for you if you do,” Sherlock interrupted. “But for now, just sleep.”
   You nodded reluctantly and shifted into a more comfortable position. You were asleep within seconds and looked completely calm and relaxed. Sherlock grabbed a blanket from nearby and placed it over you. Without thinking, he suddenly bent down and kissed your forehead gently.
   “Good night, Y/N.”
   Sherlock started to make his way back to his microscope, but stopped when he noticed a familiar figure in the doorway.
   He looked at John in confusion. “I thought you left.”
   “I did, but I forgot my keys,” he stated as he smiled innocently. 
   Sherlock brushed past him, annoyed that he had seen him show his feelings for you. He hated showing emotions of any kind, but he could not deny that he truly cared for you.
