It starts, as always, with the bees.
They’re what the locals talk about. If you go into town, especially in the summertime when the air is dry and the sun is hot and any scrap of shade or breeze feels like a five star hotel, the locals talk about the bees. The swarms, the droning, the lazy flutters in the gardens and near the porches. 
If you see bees in Hawkins, Indiana, they say, they’re from the Lab.
The Lab isn’t actually a lab. It’s a derisive nickname for a community five miles outside of town; through the woods, near the woods, in the woods, they’re not really sure. No one from Hawkins goes further than the little sign on the dirt road to and from.
Honey Haven. An experimental community founded on trust, cooperation, and the goodness in all men’s hearts. Est. 1966. Population: 565. Settlement: five miles east.
“Experimental” was all it took for the locals to come up with the nickname. They’re a practical group - farmers, workmen, store owners - and not a creative one.
Steve nods politely and gently shoos a bee away from his face as he listens to the chief of police complain, for the fourth time in the two days they’ve been here, about being barred entry and denied warrants, about nearly being arrested himself when he tried to sneak in.
“Something is wrong about that place,” he insists.
“We know that, chief,” Robin says. “That's why we’re here.”
Well, it’s not the whole truth. The whole truth is that they’ve been asking enthusiastic locals for nearly six months now for help. They’ve asked the mailman for what mail he delivers there (beekeeping supplies and letters in, but few letters out), the garbage collector for what they throw out (wood, clothes, a whole lot of paper), and some bored housewives to root through the phone book and call the main line (a cheerful voice answers and promptly starts asking what got them interested).
All in all, it’s fishy. Maybe not as concerning as their client made it out to be, but worth paying a visit. Worth seeing what the deal is.
Worth meeting Eddie Munson, whose worried uncle hired Steve and Robin to investigate his whereabouts after not hearing from him for a year.
“They limit communication,” the chief - Hopper, his name tag says - “but they’ll let you come and go at first. We’ll be able to get more letters in than out.”
“We know,” Steve says, shooing another bee off of Robin. “We got this.”
“I really hope so.”
They say their polite goodbyes and start walking down the road. No cars in the settlement, they’ve learned. Too much noise, too much pollution. They hurt the bees.
Steve and Robin walk five miles down the dirt road in the middle of the afternoon in July. They’d speak, ordinarily, fill the silence with jokes and stories and laughter, but silence is nowhere to be found.
The droning of bees from swarms unseen fills the air, and Steve thinks, while fanning himself with his hands, that the sound could swallow him whole.
Part 2. Part 3 (background lore)

Thinking about how Spencer Reid is not a fan of physical touch but when he gets a partner???????????? That man is all up in you space - if you're comfortable with it as well of course.
Hugging, hand holding, kissing, cuddling in his bed, on his couch, in the jet if you're a part of the BAU.
This man is so touch starved he loves any sort of physical affection from you. Even if it is just as much as holding his pinky - or him holding yours, depends - when walking down the street or big crowds, even if you both dislike crowds.
He just loves loves loves touching you in any sort of way, any time of the day, for any reason he'll find.
You're cooking? Hugs from behind.
You're doing the dishes? Hugs from behind.
You're reading? His head is on your chest or lap and your fingers are running through his hair or your head is on his chest and he does the same to you.
You're sleeping? Surprise; Spencer is holding you or is ON you, being your weighted blanket or using you as his blanket, pulling you on him.
That's all 😊

okay but i am BEGGING for some ares content
explicit content 18+
i usually don't write smut but for this man-
masterlist
thinking about ares wearing the sluttiest muscle shirt to showing off his tanned sculpted arms occasionally flexing knowing you were watching him
thinking about ares stretching making sure said shirt lifts up showing off his toned abs and v line making you drool
thinking about ares smirking as he catches your eyes which are glued to him from across the now coincidentally empty room
thinking about ares' echoing footsteps as he stalks his way over to you making you subconsciously press against the wall behind you.
thinking about ares leaning down to whisper meaningless conversation just to see your brain roll around trying to focus on something other than him being pressed against you
thinking about ares' broad shoulders under your desperate clutch as your eyes flutter in a silent plea for him to do something
thinking about ares' calling your kiddo in the same breath as his empty promise he'll be gentle with you
thinking about ares' deep chuckle at your attempt to palm him through his camo pants
thinking about ares' calloused hand wrapped around the side of your neck in a firm grip only letting go to tell you to suck on his fingers when you whine eagerly for him
thinking about ares pushing your legs apart to nudge his bent knee right where you need him
thinking about ares' harsh grip on your hips as he rocks you against him in a painfully slow pace
thinking about ares' breath mixing with yours as he leans down to capture your lips in a sloppy heated kiss
thinking about ares mocking and degrading you for 'ruining his favourite pair of pants'
thinking about ares asking telling you to kneel as he unbuckles his belt with one hand as the other rests on your sinking head
thinking about ares gently tugging your hair away from your face as he pats your cheek making sure you open wide
thinking about ares muttering praises as he holds your head closer to him momentarily cutting off your air
thinking about ares with his head thrown back letting out throaty hums and groans as your bring him closer to his finish
thinking about ares roughly kissing you after you stick out your tongue showing him you swallowed just like he told you to
currently thinking about ares 24/7.

I cannnottt stop thinking about how like. this isn’t really what taylor signed up for. sure, she signed up to be an entertainer and a performer but like. she didn’t sign up for the rest of it. and sure one could say it comes with the territory but also, she started out around the same time portable internet and social media was being developed and taking off. being an entertainer and performer has drastically changed in the last 20 or some odd years due to social media. and it reminds me of the willow mv where she walks onto the stage with her ukulele and once the song is over, turns to walk off stage but finds it’s become essentially a glass cage. many thoughts many thoughts.
