Take the World
Pairing: Arthur/Eames
Rating: R
Warnings: Angst, Self-Harm, Substance Abuse, AU
Length: 1298
Instead of a summary, here's the prompt this was inspired by: 'I've read a few fics where Arthur suffers from major psychological problems, and he goes a bit mental. But I'd like a fic where he suffers from Borderline Personality Disorder. I don't want the over the top, dramatic and false portrayal of the illness though. I want Arthur to have varied mood swings (really happy, depressed, anxious etc). I want him to abuse prescription medication and alcohol. I want him to cut himself (not for attention, but to relieve his anxiety and calm himself). I want him to have massive fears of abandonment from Eames, as well as periods when he truly believes that Eames doesn't love him. I want him to take a non-fatal overdose and be in hospital, but not end up being locked away afterwards.'
Note: This drabble does not include every element listed in the prompt. Considering it is less than 1500 words, that task would be nearly impossible. At least with my writing style it would be.
