Verecund: shy or modest; fearful. 

Just another case. Another kidnapping. All the BAU had to do was find the similarities between the found kids from the kidnappings, and determine who the unsub was. 

But there's one victim they can't quite understand. Different from the others. She refuses to talk, and shows strong signs of PTSD, something the other three didn't. 

They don't know her name, and nobody will come forward to claim her. The case can't be closed until all the victims are proven safe, but the BAU doesn't want to leave her behind after learning about her past.

*Trigger Warnings for very graphic self-harm, abuse, self-destructive thoughts, sexual abuse/harassment, drug use, suicide, depression, PTSD, and eating disorders.*

55 parts Complete Mature
There are moments in life that you work so hard for, things your younger self couldn't even imagine you doing... and when those moments arrive, what do you do with them? After joining the Victim Services Branch of the FBI in Quantico, it's been a dream to interact with the BAU and assist a case of theirs. Your lifestyle of late nights and overworking yourself keep you single despite this loneliness you refuse to acknowledge. But when you're constantly reminded of how quickly life can shatter around your feet, leaving you bare and bleeding as you try to put the pieces back together as neatly as you can... only for life to never be the same again, you start to feel it a little more. When the call finally comes, your work pulls you into a case the BAU is tackling, and while it caught you a little off guard, you walk away from the case with something more. Spencer has never shown vulnerability until you came around, and then things changed. From innocent comments to passionate nights, your world shifts as your two souls collide into one. *Disclaimer/Trigger Warning: this story is a work of fiction building off of information gathered from the series Criminal Minds and my own experiences within social service work. This story will contain mature topics such as addiction, mental health, suicide (past tense), trauma, detailed intimacy (idk if I'm qualified to deem this smut, so you be the judge), intercourse, and other topics readers may feel uncomfortable with.

The BAU team gets called to Elroy, Wisconsin to investigate murders of five young people, three women and two men in their twenties, having nothing but their appereance in common. The thing disturbing to most of the team is the fact all the victims look similiar to someone they know. Hotch orders Reid to stay at the station because he's worried about te doctor. The unsub is one of the most difficult ones the team had to deal with so far, so after the team, excluding the young doctor, and most of the officers leave to arrest possible suspect, they find it was a fake call, they come back to devasted place, the officers that stayed behind all lying on the floor, not remembering anything that has happened since their colegues left, and of course everyone's worst fear came true, the unsub got Reid. Later two other bodies are found, one female and one male, neither of them being able to get identified, until the unsub is caught, when getting asked about the FBI agent's wherabouts only replies with "Thought you would find him by now" while having satisfied smirk on his face. No one can tell wheter the unsub is bluffing or not, and as much as the team wishes he was, while discovering the unsub's hideout they find some of his victims alive, their worst fear being confirmed. They had lost the doctor... or did they? ____________ -this is my first fanfic, also English is my 2nd language, so excuse any mistakes and/or errors -I do not own the show 'Criminal Minds' nor the characters -also obvious trigger warnings for death, violence, swearing, maybe 'boy x boy' and 'girl x girl' relationships (even between the main characters and bcs I'm a multishipper idk which ones I want to include yet) probably alcohol or drugs as well (if anything else comes to mind, will add before mentioned in fanfiction)
Is This My Life?(Completed) by Firetail606
16 parts Complete Mature
16 year old Harley Jenson has never had an easy life. With an alcoholic, drug addicted, abusive father; a mother who couldn't be bothered to pay attention because she was always too focused on Harley's 5 year old twin brother and sister; no friends, no one to confide in, no one to trust. For the sake of her mother and siblings, Harley has always been at the receiving end of her father's.... Outbursts. Never talking unless she was forced to, so that she didn't accidentally let anything slip out. Hiding her body under long sleeved shirts, jackets, long pants, and concealer, so no one could see the evidence. Pushing people away, so they wouldn't get close, so they wouldn't get hurt. These are her defences. Not only for herself, but for everyone. However, after one night of her father inviting his friends over to have a 'sleepover' with Harley, as he'd arranged dozens, if not hundreds of times before, something happens that Harley had never even thought to fear. Now, her defences will gradually become less and less efficient. What will she do when the clothes and makeup can no longer hide the evidence? What about when people start trying to force their way in, despite her pushing them back? And how about when she gets forced to talk? All her years of carefully hiding herself in the background, staying in the shadows so no one would give her a second glance, are all being threatened. What can she do? ~~~~~~WARNING: This story contains strong language, drug use, sexual and physical abuse, and topics/situations that may be triggers for some people.~~~~~~ © Copyright 2014 All rights reserved
A House Is Not Always A Home: A Criminal Minds Fanfic by illcupofcoffee
38 parts Complete Mature
An inbetween where they didn't need the parallel universe. A JEID fanfic :) In the year following Garcia's leaving and the passing of Spence's mom, JJ spent all of her time devoted to taking care of Reid through his grief. JJ called it quits the moment he started getting verbally/emotionally abusive towards her, but stuck it out for her beloved children. Will continued to question her priorities and berate her--over their marriage compared to her job and Spence, so he finally called it quits & they got DIVORCED! Through everything they've been through, the one thing they could always lean on is each other and everyone knew how unbreakable their bond was......we all know the legend goes: love between two twin flames are destined to burn bright forever. --------------------------------------------------------------------- A commotion outside the glass doors of the BAU Office, in the dead hours of night and with old recorded tapes turning up, bring their latest case to a pause or so they think. Follow our beloved BAU Team as they tackle another case & Jeid as they FINALLY kindle their flame. DISCLAIMER: I obviously do NOT own any of the Criminal Minds or its charecters mentioned. Writing is one of my long time passions, though I may not be the best at it. This show is one I've seen many many times and hold close to my heart. This is just for the fun of it, so hopefully you enjoy it as I do. Feel free to leave comments and go check out "I'll Always Love You - A Jeid Fanfic" by Angela Lindsey/AngeleFTE here on Wattpad. They did an AMAZING job with their fantasy of JEID coming together in "Season 16", which is where I got some of my inspiration for this story. Thanks so much for all the support and as always enjoy :) I will try to put Trigger Warnings at the beginning of necassary chapters and I don't ever get super graphic, but this is your INITIAL Warning, to read as you will.

When a certain convict escapes from prison simply due to a lucky chance, the Behavioral Analysis Unit once again finds themselves face to face with a previous foe, one that caused great issue for a particular young genius. The events that ensue threaten to expose one of Doctor Spencer Reid's most deep, hidden secrets. Will all be revealed for his team to judge? Will Spencer finally find peace in a loving relationship? Or will familiar faces triumph in ending the team of profilers once and for all? You'll have to read to find out! Finally, a sequel to a previous Criminal Minds story of mine called Fibonacci! This sequel was a long time coming, and I'm thrilled to finally release it for you all to enjoy. As usual, here are a few disclaimers: I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE ORIGNIAL CRIMINAL MINDS CHARACTERS OR STORYLINE MENTIONED IN THIS STORY! (Some of the plot from the television show has been altered at some points solely for the good of this particular story). I ALSO DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE PICTURES ATOP EACH CHAPTER OR THE PICUTRES THAT I COMPILED TO MAKE THE COVER! (Links will be provided to where I found every picture from as to give appropriate credit to the owners). WHILE THIS STORY IS NOT CURRENTLY RATED MATURE, THERE ARE SOME MENTIONS OF THE FOLLOWING: HOMOSEXUAL RELTIONSHIPS (nothing gets too graphic aside from kissing), FAIRLY MILD DEPICTIONS OF VIOLENCE/BODILY HARM (at some points, there are scenes where someone is getting beat up, but nothing more serious than that), DEPICTIONS OF WEAPONS (guns and things like that that one expects in a story about FBI agents).
