Asylum

Joyce always enters the ward with a cup of coffee, as if that will protect her.

She hates this place. Every time she’s here, she wants to

Aw, this is really sad. But I love your Joyce.

Nice take on that AU.

I find canon AUs really interesting. Glad you enjoyed!

Awesome topic, and very true to the character.

I can only seem to branch out to other characters in short fic, but I'm glad I pinned Joyce. Thanks, K.

But she has to go fight with the insurance company, so as the new drug kicks in, she sighs and tosses her cup in the trash and walks away

I really like this line. The realities of life (even in an altered reality) kinda suck :(
