Title: Do What They Can
Author: calc_broadway
Art: Here
Artist: akelly318
Pairings/Characters: Kurtofsky, brief Klaine, mentioned Azimio/Quinn
Rating: M
Word Count: ~18k
Warnings: Mental Illnesses including depression and schizophrenia, graphic description of self-harm, attempted suicide
Disclaimer: I don't own anything. I just do this for the kicks and giggles.
Summary: AU dark!future!fic. Dave checks himself in to a psychiatric unit when his depression escalates. Kurt has been in and out of them since his mother died. Can they find happiness with each other or is a happy ending really just for the movies?
Acknowledgement: Huge thanks are due to Panda ( akelly318/ pandacolfer) for choosing to do art for this. I've always been a HUGE fan of yours so having you claim this scared the shit out of me. And what she came up with is so amazing and captures all the emotions I tried to in my writing. ;-; Thank you so much! Also, thanks to Ashley for listening to me whine about this and always being willing to help me out when I got stuck and for being a hopeless romantic. Of course, this wouldn't have been possible without two of the best betas ever - Kat ( wanderlustlights) and Michelle (who is not involved in this fandom at all but who beta'd the last half of this on Monday night).
A/N: I had a fantastic time writing this (Read: I spent nights sobbing while my fingers bled from trying to type) and I hope you enjoy reading it. Until next year!
