Horror drabble, one-shots, short stories, and poetry. Delves deeply into religious themes and old folklore/fairy tales I loved as a child.

Based on Yungblud's song, "Parents." MATURE (18+) CONTENT: READER DISCRETION STRONGLY ADVISED *~I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE LYRICS OR PICTURES USED/QUOTED, PLEASE DON'T SUE ME~* Darren Carmichael, a nineteen-year-old university student has had a difficult relationship with his parents ever since everything changed when he came out as bisexual three years ago, making him the only openly queer person of his small hometown full of prejudiced bible-thumpers. After being outed, tormented by his parents and religious figures, and prescription drug abuse and addiction, he feels completely devoid of all hope. That is, until a sudden turn of events causes him to become closer to his best friend and dealer. As the pair grow closer, will Darren be able to break out of his shell and fully accept his identity, or is there truly no hope left for the underrated youth?

A few months after David Rossi's retirement, the BAU is restructured under the new leadership of Dr. Spencer Reid, now forty-four and gently graying- endlessly intelligent, weirdly guarded, and still haunted by the ghosts of his youth. Into this world steps a young, determined agent barely half his age, eager to prove himself and fiercely loyal to the team.
