Summary
"Complicated didn’t even begin to scratch the surface of what he and Spencer have going on. It was a series of entangled webs they wove themselves into. It was Daedalian and it was Byzantine. It was a complete mess.
Yet, however terribly convoluted of a mess they made out of one another, to Hotch, Spencer was a noble pursuit of happiness. He was the only happiness, in his head, that was worth pursuing."
—
In which Reid has always been good at hiding things. He hid his father's departure and his mother's illness from social services. He hid his addiction from his team. He hid his sexuality from the world. He hid his inappropriate feelings from his boss.
That is until he's bleeding out in Hotch's arms, in an abandoned church, in Oklahoma.
From there on out, Hotch and Reid learn to make a complete mess out of each other.

Summary
Erik has dreams of a dark room, of being pushed down into the floor and violated in a way that makes him scream until his throat is raw. But Shaw never, ever touched him like that, so Erik wonders if he somehow repressed memories of Shaw's torture. Either way, he hides the dreams from Charles, intent on suffering through it alone, as he always has.
And then one day, the nightmares come when he's still awake, and he realizes that these aren't his nightmares, they're Charles's. It's Charles projecting in his sleep, and then Erik realizes that they aren't nightmares at all, they're memories from Charles's hidden past.
