Bernard and Roy start a TikTok page. Red Hood reads thirst tweets. Nightwing is a troll. Roy gets candid.
Gotham isn't prepared.
(Part of my Networking series which fleshes out a Roy-Bernard-Jason friendship, but can easily be read as a standalone)

Three Reids and a Matthew Walk Into A Bullpen... by oldmannapping

Summary
Three Reids and a Matthew walk into a bullpen.
The universe tries not to implode.
(Not RPF.)
-_-
The Reids looked at each other.
“This is incredible,” said the younger Reid. “Everything I’ve read about time travel suggests that we should be very careful about what you touch and how you interact with this dimension, because your atoms are unstable and even the slightest wrong move could cause the universe to collapse.”
He said this matter-of-factly as both Reids reached their fingers towards each other.
“Don’t!” shouted Hotch and Morgan. JJ gasped. Elle and Gideon looked intrigued.
Two long, thin index fingers met.

Summary
Reid is kidnapped. A body is found, mutilated beyond recognition, wearing Reid's clothes and carrying his beloved satchel. The team mourns.
Reid, very much alive, saves himself.
-_-
This unsub clearly hadn’t done his research before picking Spencer Reid to abduct. He might be the youngest and least-experienced FBI agent, with the worst hand-to-hand skills and a barely-there firearms qualification…
But he was also their only magician.

Tags
Summary
Admittedly, drawing the unsub's attention to himself was less than ideal, but Reid could hardly sit back and let JJ or Prentiss be targeted instead.
or:
After Hankel, Reid is self-sacrificing to the point of being self-destructive. The team hates it.

Tags
Summary
Bad things happen to Spencer Reid, but he's a badass and can handle it. Right?
or:
BAU Team: Please stop being so self-sacrificing.
Reid: Instructions unclear. Did you mean, hurl myself at danger?or:
The team is captured by sexual sadists. Reid decides he's the most expendable team member.

Summary
Old friends Eric Bennett and Brandon Wiebe realize - oh yeah, that time when we were best friends at hockey camp in high school, actually maybe we were boyfriends? They’ve been casual friends for decades since then, but when Eric comes out publicly, Wiebe reaches out. They catch up and debrief life and hockey as bisexual men while Eric enjoys his first year of retirement and Wiebe navigates his first year as a coach.
Ilya Rozanov is just delighted to have bisexual friends. Even if they don’t always know he’s bisexual too. And since his love language is being a little shit, he badgers them into bisexual solidarity.OR:
They’re all bisexual and talking to each other -

Summary
“Mm, not stuff his pockets with the drug everyone thinks makes you gay right before a press conference? Maybe!” Ilya’s voice chimed happily from the phone.
“You wanna tell us why you’re so acquainted with Rush that you can identify it in 780p, Ilya?” Kip asked.
“…I have so much leather to deodorize, Kip Grady. So many sports cars, you know.”
--
Kip can't believe no one else can tell how outrageously gay Ilya Rozanov is, but he's not complaining, he's happy to have someone else to talk to at all the hockey functions.
Or: Perfect gaydar haver Ilya Rozanov finally gets a taste of his own medicine. A series of looks into Kip and Ilya's friendship, starting after the cottage.
