One possible storyline could be that they are on a case and get caught in a trap set by the unsub. For example, they might be lured into an abandoned building where the unsub has rigged it to collapse. JJ could get trapped under some rubble while trying to protect Penelope. Another could be that they are poisoned during an investigation. Maybe they accept food or drinks from someone connected to the case who has ulterior motives. Penelope might be the first to show symptoms, and JJ is desperately trying to find a cure while also dealing with her own growing illness from the poison.
In a fanfiction, they could be targeted by a cult. The cult might believe that they are 'evil' because of their work in catching criminals. JJ and Penelope are held captive in the cult's compound. They are subjected to strange rituals that are meant to 'cleanse' them. JJ uses her profiling skills to try and understand the cult leader's motives, while Penelope tries to hack into any nearby electronics to send out a distress signal.
In some fanfictions, JJ could get hurt during a hostage situation. For example, she might try to negotiate with the hostage - taker, but things go wrong and she gets shot. Her injury then becomes a catalyst for the team to work even harder to resolve the situation. Another idea is that she is targeted by a cult because of her work with the BAU. They manage to capture her and inflict harm on her, and the story could revolve around the team's efforts to rescue her and take down the cult. Also, she could be injured in a car accident while chasing a suspect, and the team has to deal with their fear of losing her while also trying to solve the case that led to the accident.
One JJ hurt fanfiction could be about her getting injured during a case. For example, she might be in a situation where she is physically attacked while trying to rescue a victim. The story could then focus on how the team reacts to her being hurt and their efforts to help her recover.
Well, perhaps the shooting of JJ could be part of a larger conspiracy against the BAU. The team starts to uncover clues that lead them to believe JJ was targeted not just randomly but as a way to get to the whole team. As JJ recovers, she may have some post - trauma that affects her ability to return to work immediately.
In the fanfiction, JJ gets kidnapped right outside the BAU building. It's a bold move by the kidnapper. The team is stunned. Emily is the first to start piecing together possible motives. They discover that the kidnapper has a vendetta against the BAU. JJ, while kidnapped, manages to leave some subtle signs for the team to find. The team races against time, using their combined skills of profiling, forensics, and technology to track her down before it's too late.
The other BAU members would be devastated. Reid, for example, would be extremely worried. He has a close bond with both of them, especially Penelope as they often share their geeky interests. He would probably blame himself for not being able to predict the situation. Hotch would feel responsible as the team leader. He would be very focused on finding the culprits and getting them to justice. Morgan would be angry and determined to rescue them. He would see it as his duty to protect his friends. Emily would be concerned but also try to keep the team together and focused on the investigation.
It could be that Reid has unknowingly crossed paths with a criminal organization. They kidnap him to extract information about the FBI's investigations into their activities. Reid has to endure torture and interrogation, but he also tries to analyze his captors' behavior to find a way to escape.
Another theme could be JJ's own strength and resilience in the face of being hurt. Fanfics might explore how she copes with her physical or emotional pain and still tries to contribute to the team's work. Also, there could be themes related to the relationship between JJ and her family, especially how her being hurt affects them.
One scenario could be that Reid gets hurt during a chase. Maybe he trips and falls while running after an unsub, and sprains his ankle. This would slow him down and make him vulnerable.
In fanfiction where JJ and Emily are hurt in Criminal Minds, it often serves to explore their vulnerabilities. It can make their characters more relatable as they face challenges and pain. Writers might use this to show their strength in overcoming such difficult situations.
