You and Spencer Reid go way back, centuries, actually. You're lovers from another time, cursed to fall for each other again and again, only to be kept in the dreaded devilish circle of losing each other all over.
You made a pact with a celestial being centuries ago, not knowing you were tricked into feeding a demon with your ongoing heartbreak.
Alternative Universe, Fated lovers, Resurrection curse
[Authors' Notes]
Somewhere in the far past, you died tragically, and your partner, Spencer Reid, couldn't cope with your death, so he prayed to the heavens, and an angel (or so he thought) granted him his only wish, to be reunited with the love of his life, consequences be damned.
The only condition?
Spencer would forget you, but he was quite adamant he'd fall in love with you again.
In the meantime, you were visited by the very same 'angel' to be granted resurrection on the very same condition.
To you, everything was better than for Spencer to mourn you; if he forgot you, he'd at least not be feeling this grief, right? And you could make him fall for you again, too.
Well, humanity was never good at the whole 'reading the terms and conditions' thing and you didn't really know what you were dealing with here and fell right into a demon's trap.
Azrielle, The Archivist of Ashes (quite the title here, but he's just a flashy, sadistic bastard), has a thing for pining souls and humanity has lots of that. And you and Spencer are just too eager to find yourself every time you get separated, as if the universe were adamant for you to break this curse.
He's watching you like you're his favorite Netflix show and is adamant about keeping you and Spencer hurting and pining.
Because every time you fall for each other, memories surge, a tiny bit of your past selves coming back into consciousness.
But just before you can reunite for real and finally speak about the dreaded circle, one of you is fated to die and the circle begins anew.
But something is different now.
Azrielle is slowly losing his grip on the curse. Once omnipotent and powerful, his control on you both is weakening, the threads of fate are fraying.
