Summary
Chloe Wallace needs a new start. When she lands in Washington, D.C. she hopes for the best. Finding a new job, meeting new people, and living a normal life away from her abusive ex.
She moves into the Capital Plaza Apartments, right across the hall from a peculiar but sweet FBI agent named Dr. Spencer Reid.
Slowly, the two warm up to each other despite having little in common. But when Chloe starts getting disturbing letters and women in D.C. begin turning up dead, she's forced to turn to the man she's falling for for help.
(Title comes from Michel Foucault's book, "A History of Madness", published in 1961.)

Long term hiatusI use single quotes ‘to mark dialogue’ not “doubles”. This is a British publishing standard according to the Oxford Style Manual, and it's just my habit these days 😁
Hope you enjoy the story!

Summary
"Oh Kasumi, you got a deal. You win and it's yours, whatever you want! Whenever you want!" Reaching out a hand for an agreement handshake, Kasumi gingerly reached her own with intent to seal the deal, but he stopped her for a moment and leaned forward. "But if I win, same terms apply. A favor from you, whatever I want, whenever I want." His tone was deadly and his face was serious, a quick three-sixty from the mere seconds before when he was laughing.
Or
Kenpachi under estimates his paper-pushing office helper and is pleasantly surprised when she has more than a few not so innocent thoughts swimming in that pretty little head of hers.

Summary
A thought occurred to Kenpachi. “When was the last time you got laid?" he asked her. "Looks like you could do with blowin' off some steam.”
Tomoe's face flushed. "Wh-what the FUCK, captain?" she spluttered. “Wait, a minute,” she continued. “Are you, Captain fucking Kenpachi, suggesting fucking... instead of fighting... to... to blow off steam?”
“Depends on the kind of fucking you’re into,” he said with a shrug. “You don’t strike me as the soft ‘n’ gentle type, Ryuuga.”

Summary
“I don't understand why it won't go down.” He grumbled, averting his gaze with a frown, “it always just goes down after a while.”
Midoriya frowned, was his classmate really suggesting what he thought he was?
“Well, um? Uh-” freaking get it together Deku it's just a dick, he mentally scolded himself before pressing on, “okay, y- you say it usually gets soft on it's own, right? Um, how long have you been waiting for that to happen?”
“Three hours, give or take.” Shouto answered, shoulders relaxing slightly, obviously more comfortable now that Izuku was talking calmly instead of stumbling over himself, red faced. That was good at least.
“Have you ever been hard for this long before?” Weren't erections that lasted longer than four hours a cause for concern? If he'd already been waiting three…
Shouto shot him a frown, “no. I wouldn't have asked - it should have just gone away.” He looked away again.
The way he talked about it, it really was as if he'd never…
Izuku coughed to clear his throat awkwardly. Just ask, he told himself firmly. “Alright, okay. Well, um, have you tried to make it go down?”
