Summary: AU - Spencer Reid is an investigative writer. When he joins an ex-gay support group to write a book about homosexuals who attempt to change their sexual orientation, he never counted on falling in love. Alternatively known as the one where I made everyone queer and used only canon characters, including some notable unsubs, in the process.
Disclaimer: I'm a white, pansexual cis woman who literally grew up in the church (parents were one of eight couples who started up a church when I was three), but after having issues with the church's hypocrisy in many areas, including sexuality, I left the church and currently identify as an agnostic atheist, though I still attend church every other week as part of my work. My experiences were/are nowhere as extreme as what I'm writing about; because of this, I researched ex-gay practices, read ex-ex-gay people's accounts of their experiences, listened to sermons made by anti-gay preachers, and watched multiple documentaries regarding LGBT individuals and the church, including one specifically about ex-gay ministries. I've also consulted with people whose experiences were more extreme than my own.
This is not a condemnation of religion as a whole, much less religious individuals.Chapter 1 Warnings: Non-graphic mentions of bullying, suicide, sexual abuse, and abuse of power.
