Summary
Geting shot in the knee was supposed to be the worst thing that happened to him that year. But Dr. Spencer Reid had never really been blessed with that kind of luck. All the other terrible things still hung there above his head even while he was stuck on desk duty. He embraced it. He was content to hang back with Garcia and sneak those cookies until he recovered.
Then he started feeling tired. So tired. He was used to no sleep, sure. But this? This was something completely different. He tried to hide it. Until that day he woke up and spit blood in his sink.
Despite what he comes to find out, he can't lay this on his already overwrought team. So he doesn't.
Spencer keeps a secret he can't possibly bury forever. His team notices.

Summary
Getting diagnosed with cancer was supposed to be the worst thing that happened to him that year.
And it was.
This was a brand new year, though.
Spencer Reid is struggling to come back to life after recovering from cancer. He clings to the relationships he trusts, the ones he knows are safe. Until it's clear he has feelings for someone that aren't that platonic golden love from before.
He thinks maybe, it might be time to pursue something new with someone he didn't expect to meet during this journey... Life was a short, tenuous, tiny thing in the grand scheme, after all. Maybe seeking out love of a different sort would bring him the happiness he wrote off entirely when he faced imminent death.
Spencer navigates the thin line between heartbreak and hope while coming back to life in spite of it all. His Team, as always, helps him figure it all out.
