#splint

Wrote a little something on a whim. Planned for a one-shot around 1,000 words, ended up with over 2,000 words and "chapter 1/?" instead.

Splint (PJO, Annabeth x Rachel, rated M)

(Chapter 1: "Fall")

Denial, they call it. The entire five stages thing has been discredited for ages, of course, but for some reason, people seem to love it. I never understood why. I like to think I skipped the anger stage, and not just because Kübler-Ross doesn't hold up to scrutiny. If anything, and I'm sure everyone who spent time with me back then will agree, I was mostly irritated at the inconvenience of it all. Have you ever realised how much of the world is a no-go zone when you can't walk?

I haven't written an outline or anything for this, just some ideas of where to go, so don't expect a breakneck update pace like with BbH on this one.

SPLINT By Chessa Subbiondo

THANKS!!! And Tumblr’s been great so far >< definitely a bit different than everywhere else tho..

Hehe Haven’t even had the chance to fully post about all my little guys but I’ll probably be posting more lore stuff about ‘em soon + their asks are open too so feel free :D

Sleeping it off did not work.

Which technically means going to the doctor.

And arguing that I know how my fibromyalgia feels, prescription strength ibuprofen kinda defeats the purpose of me taking metformin, no I'm in the middle of a move, I can not actually just do low carb everything for the weekend until they can see me again, coming back on Monday when it hasn't improved and then being told it needs to be splinted and/or subjected to physiotherapy.

And since my patience is rather limited atm, I'm just gonna skip ahead and make do.

Yes that's painter's tape. Our first aid kit is in the new apartment. Yes I did have to heat that flat shape up to 80-ish degrees centigrade and press it against my skin because PLA cools down really quickly even if it is moldable.
