Summary
Spencer Reid has been bullied all his life. His genius has always set him apart from others, his abilities cause fear and resentment and the resulting social ineptitude has meant friendship has only ever been a theoretical concept for him. He has always needed to care for himself, teach himself, advocate for himself, protect himself and figure things out for himself.
Until now.
Aaron Hotchner has been building his armour all his life. He has never let anyone all the way in and no-one has ever really seen or known him, not even his ex-wife.
Until now.
When is a prank not just a prank? When it means war.
And Aaron Hotchner, Unit Chief of the BAU, has never joined in the office pranks before. Not because he's scared he'll lose, but because he knows he'll win.

Summary
Hostility within the team and from local police makes for an uncomfortable case.
Spencer's fighting on too many fronts and not even his boss's incredible foresight can predict the outcome when things turn really ugly.
With Gideon and Rossi distracted by bad memories, Elle struggling and two Agents playing games of manipulation in a powder keg situation they don't fully understand, Hotch is stretched thin and the net of safety he tries to weave requires constant repair. Something's got to give, but will he be able to forgive himself when it does?Series
