AU where Mark and Eduardo meet in a psychiatric ward because Eduardo has father-related problems and something has happened to Mark because of his social awkwardness (not autism though).

Dustin and Chris can come too, and Sean and the Winklevii can fit in wherever.

TRIGGERS: This involves accurate descriptions of an open psychiatric ward, including mentions/thoughts of suicide and other negative internal mantas. If this is likely to cause you distress or otherwise trigger unwanted anxiety or depressive thoughts, be aware of how you may be impacted

Mark isn’t crazy either

Eduardo finds out his name later from Chris, who knows everything because social anxiety has never been his problem, and he talks to everyone, even those who do have social anxiety

‘These are running NT,’ Mark says. His voice isn’t very nuanced, but Eduardo thinks he picks up more than a dose of disdain, and a little bit of amusement

Dustin comes home from weekend leave with a hipflask of vodka in his bag, tucked near the bottom. He flicks the N64 on with his toe, and the noise that the console makes through the old tv makes Eduardo turn from his computer

I just want to say thank you you guys so much for the comments. I'm really nervous here because this is the first thing I've written since I got out of hospital. I'm not even kidding. It seems very fitting, no? More will be up after I sit an exam tomorrow.

Plot is coming, I promise. Plot, ship and a lot more conversation. And I promise you'll get to know more about things I've alluded to but not explained properly. Probably.Chris leaves a week after Mark does, smiling and looking like he’s in control of his compulsions for at least a little while. He’ll be in and out, Eduardo knows, because it’s regulation for a patient with symptoms that don’t really remiss. Chris’ bed is empty for a day and a half, so Dustin fills it whenever orderlies aren’t in the room, staring a little accusingly at the grinning ginger that just messed up the neat bed. Dustin talks to him, and Eduardo feels a little lighter, just for a while

Mark is in the unoccupied bed one room down, sharing with Dustin. Eduardo mostly likes Dustin - they get along when they are forced to play on the N64 by the nurses who think it’ll be fun for Eduardo to do something that doesn’t involve the commute revolving around the pool - ward to peace garden to pool and back, a slingshot route that only makes it to the garden sometimes. Dustin is loud and talks a lot of shit, but Eduardo goes along with most of it, partly because Dustin got a long way further into suicide than Eduardo did, and when Dustin isn’t elated, he’s crashing and burning on lows, and Eduardo knows all the details

Eduardo gets a text from his sister half an hour later that says ‘bored, got sent to my room because I brought you up. Know any good ways of escaping second story buildings

Eduardo sometimes thinks, now that he’s at home in his comfortable apartment in New York, with almost endless supplies at his fingertips, if he’d never emerged from that room, maybe everything would have gotten better.

Maybe he wouldn’t have been alight with hope, and the desire to stretch past all the shame that being in a psychiatric ward brought on his father. Maybe if he’d just rolled over, he would never have told Mark that he invested occasionally, and that he could help with the site.

But the perfect, straight line of hindsight never leads to the present, and instead of burrowing deep into the rough hospital blanket, Eduardo had clambered out of bed, and wrapped himself around the idea.Mark goes through red vines really fast. Of the two cafés on the hospital campus, only the one near the locked ward has any kind of confectionary, and it does not stock red vines. It has caffeine of all varieties, but not red vines

I'm really intrigued that someone filled this right away, but I'm glad in a sense that it is. Just want to read more of this world.

Re: Mark/Eduardo psych-ward AU 2c/?

I'm the OP, also filling the prompt which is why it filled quickly. The more I thought about it, the more I realised I had a story for it.

Hope I made the right decision filling it myself ;)

Re: Mark/Eduardo psych-ward AU 2c/?

Totally intrigued, can't wait for the next part :)

He chokes on the words, when he decides to say them. They’re bigger than his throat can handle, thick and heavy. It’s like he’s pulling the constant and eternal weight sitting on his chest up through his lips, bare for everyone to see.

really love this part.
