Behind the Red Brick Garden Wall ~ [Part 1]

PROMPT: Reid is dosed with something and hallucinates a person in a garden. At first he believes he’s met them before, but they assure him he hasn’t met them yet. After he pours his heart out, he wakes up before they can tell him anything about themselves. He ends up meeting them a year later. (inspired by “The Gardner” by Sarah Sparks)

Pairing: Spencer Reid x Fem!Reader

A/N: I don’t know who this was requested by, but I saw a post on @imagining-in-the-margins​ page of an anon who gave fic titles in exchange for prompts…. so here we go! [btw that post is right here] Also, this ended up being longer than I intended, so I broke it up into two parts. Feedback is more than welcome and very much appreciated! 

Warnings: angst, drug use, hallucinations, mentions of/implied violence, implied/masked depression, mentions of nightmares, mentions of loss, hospital setting, needles, medical environment, mentions of drug use, mentions of abduction, mentions of torture, mentions of death, mentions of mental illness, mentions of abandonment, mentions of murder, maybe one or two bad words?

Spencer’s POV

My head is spinning. 

My head is spinning but I am standing still.

I tried turning around only to find that this further aggravated the condition that I found myself in, and suddenly I wound up on the floor. The cold concrete met my face with a force that felt all too gentle for what should have been a not so gracious fall. That’s what it was wasn’t it? I’m pretty sure I was standing up before. I must have been because now I am on the floor….

But my head is still spinning.

The part of my vision that manages to focus reveals to me a set of feet hurrying away. Quickly. What are they running from? Are they running? Yes. They had to have been, that was too fast to have just been a walk. The average person walks at about 3.1 miles per hour and they were without a doubt going over 10 miles per hour. As soon as those feet leave, they are followed by even more feet. As I try to gain a bearing on my surroundings, I hear distant voices calling out, but I’m unable to make out what they’re saying. It sounds like shouting. One pair of feet starts coming closer, as I hear a voice growing slightly louder. And it isn’t long before those feet crouch down directly in front of my field of sight, completely blocking out the stampede of the other feet that are now fading away just as quickly as they had come.

“Spence?”

I hear someone say something that vaguely sounds like my name. It sounds like JJ. Or maybe Emily?

“Spence?”

No, it has to be JJ.  Why is my head still spinning?

how to study history

1. Be interested. It is one of the most important things. You don`t have to love history completely but at least try to find something amazing about it. Watch a documentary film on youtube. Reread three musketeers by Dumas. Read the history of feminism on wikipedia. Watch Les miserables.

2. Connect history to reality. You don`t understand why you have to learn about romans or greeks who lived thousands of years ago? But they invented the society we live in! Democracy, roads, canalisation, philosophy, etc. Understanding it will make history a reality not fantasy. 

3. First of all understand the main idea. For example: you have to learn history of World War I. Don`t go in details! Just understand three the most important things: who was fighting? why? how does it all ended? If you study big periods like `history of USA` try to understand the main points: who lived in continent before colonisation; who and how find a new continent; then happened Independency war; then happend civil war; then was a big economy development; then world war I; then great depression… etc. And only when you understand tthe main idea of an event or can put events in the right order, only then go into details. 

4. Learn dates! You have to understand that without knowing dates you`ll never be good in history. Knowing dates will lead to understanding the right order of events which is very important for understanding history. How you can learn dates? Make flashcards. It is the most efficient way. An event on the one side. A date on another.

5. Get to know history persons! Learn the order of monarchs, connect the reforms with reformers; learn about the most important artists or writers of the time. Learn about Leanardo da Vinci while learning about the Renaissance; learn about Remark while learning the interwar time. 

6. Watch short youtube films on your topic. 10-20 minutes will give you the most important information. And it will also help you to understand the main concept, idea, and you will understand how this topic is connected to the whole history. And it will also help you when you will be reading your textbook - it is easier to learn already  acquainted facts. 

7. Use plenty of sources! Read a textbook, read wikipedia, watch documentary, listen to a podcast. Some will give you new information. You will understand which things are the most important (they will be repeated all over again) and learn them.

8. Try to teach someone. I literally understood some points only when i had to teach history as a tutor! So retelling facts and their connection to someone will help you a lot! It doesn`t work only for history but for other subjects as well.

9. Don`t limit your learning only to reading and writing notes. You will understand only the main idea (probably) but you will definitely forget the rest. So test yourself on what you have read.

10. Ask questions to yourself or your teacher or even a textbook. It is the most important. My history teacher once told me: `do you know when a real history research starts? When you are suprised. You see something that surprises you - and you are starting to wonder why this is like it is?` So you have to be curious. And you shouldn`t believe everything your textbook says! Not only ask questions but also try to answer them. Why this happening? What will be after it? Who will gain profit? Who will loose? Why it is so important? Why we learn it? 

Magic To Do h.s.

you and Harry get off on the wrong foot and are cast as lovers in a musical (slowburn enemies to lovers perhaps?)

The musical is Pippin, and I highly suggest listening to the musical, as it is really good :)

Bolded is Harry Singing…..Italics is reader singing…..Bolded & Italics is both

WORD COUNT : 11.4k

Thundering claps echoing around in euphoria. The brightest lights imaginable. The adrenaline rushing through your veins. The stage had always been your dream. To be able to give people one night of entertainment and leave them gawking at the wonders of what they have just seen. The world of theatre is nothing short of difficult, you know that. The competitiveness is worse than that during a football game. People are usually not afraid to screw others over just to get themselves on top. It’s hard for you to deal with the betrayals and thoughts of possibly messing up someone else’s career. You would never do that to someone, but every time you audition, you fear that someone would do it to you. At auditions, you portrayed your best self and it’s always almost worked out in your favor. 

Your next audition was a particularly important one. The Winter Garden Theatre was holding auditions for the revival of Pippin, an older musical, but a good one. You always loved the music of Stephen Schwartz. You prepared for the audition for two months, watching the musical a handful of times to get a grasp on the best character for yourself. You decided the character of Catherine, the love interest that only appears in the second act, would fit you best. Now, you sit on the cold metal chair in the waiting room outside of where the auditions are taking place. After glancing around at the other nervous actors, you feel your shoulders relax. Everyone is stressed, no doubt. You are not alone. However sitting and watching the audition door open and close made your hands shake. Your heart was beating out of your chest. Your breathing became uneven when a woman walked out of the room crying her eyes out. You sit in the waiting room for another hour, your stomach doing flips as you wait for your name to be called.
