Summary
He tells himself it’s just a gathering. Not a desperate attempt to make the team stay a little longer than they have to.
Definitely not a party thrown for the sole purpose of spending his 25th year around the sun with Derek Morgan.
Spencer throws a birthday party for one reason only: to spend the evening with his crush, Derek Morgan.
With Penelope’s help, he just might pull it off.

Summary
There’s a minute or two where he thinks he might be able to stop, to get on top of his breathing, but when Aaron’s hand lands between his shoulder blades, somewhere between a pat and the beginnings of a rub, and he jumps so violently that he chokes on the saliva that’s gathered in his mouth, he knows tonight is considerably worse than others.
“Spencer,” Aaron says quietly, in that tone of voice that he only ever uses when he’s seriously concerned.
He knows if Aaron could hear his internal thoughts, he’d be lovingly shot down in flames, rebuked with a soft but firm: as if you ever need to worry about that.

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.
