“ but then if you’re so smart - tell me, why are you still so afraid? “
@drliscuddy
you don’t know how to talk about this. or anything. all of this settles around you like snow, except it’s falling ash, dotting your skin black, smearing unkindly on porcelain. sometimes you almost see it. sometimes you almost look down and there are the smudges of red, all over you. you hate this wheelchair, frankly, and your jaw works with a resounding click. the television’s soft glow illuminates the room-- your photosensitvity hasn’t been stricken yet, that chord unplayed, and there’s a sound in the background you can’t distinguish. you put the sound on to drown out the silence. sometimes, the quiet is laced with what sounds like voices, like a snake slithering through your ears, between them.
there’s a pot on the floor between you. it’s full of the only thing you can eat, now-- glue-looking, fake macaroni and cheese. it feels like a slap in han-- dr. lecter’s face. it’s disgusting and generic and comforting. it’s just oozing orange. you can eat maybe three forkfuls before you can only consider it. your legs aren’t useless-- but they’d said you wouldn’t walk ever again. fuck them. they thought you were dead, too, so.
“do you ever wonder what would have been different?”
your head, still fuzzy, almost always, still foggy, makes you feel like you explained this whole trajectory of thought. (you did not.)
@drliscuddy u wanted cameron to blurt out something so here u go
There’s a lull in the conversation. It’s not uncomfortable, but she wants to fill it with a stray thought. ❛ I tried to get my nipple pierced before. I think the piercings themselves look nice, I do - it’s the thought of threading a prick through the lactiferous ducts, the pain forcing the tissue to raise and stiffen, the sheer needlepoint trauma of penetrative metal and barbell insertion. ❜ She pauses. ❛ Unless you get a ring piercing. Obviously. But that tends to just make a difference as regards after care. ❜
Meet + random ( cuddy and scully being alien hunters was always something I wanted omg )
——– location meme / readily accepting ! random : a hotel lobby motel lobby
morning sun through the blinds adds striped pattern to already gaudy design of the carpet. paisley. she did not notice it upon their arrival last night, an hour south of kansas city, which is not in kansas, late check - in with a manager whose breath smelled of hot dog and cigarettes / dana struggled for sleep but found it on the hard mattress, held onto it a few hours’ time. morning now. a quick shower. they have work to do.
she leans against the check - in desk ; the manager is on a smoke break. on a napkin before her, the crumby remains of a bagel with light cream cheese and the discarded curls of an orange peel. beside that, case file, abnormalities that have summoned them here, a lab result on a deadly parasite, which is not a parasite. an hour south of kansas city, nothing is as it seems.
LISA —– for whom the bell tolls ! or jingles, rather, tinny and golden where it dangles on the lobby door. eyes of bright blue turn to greet her, toothless smile, morning update. ❝ morning. i, ah, just got off the phone with the deputy sheriff a few minutes ago. he’s going to meet us at the morgue in an hour. ❞ lazy man, typical official, though his lack of haste at least affords her the opportunity to drink ( admittedly underwhelming ) morning brew from cheap machine. she reaches forward to lift her cup, pausing the beverage inches from painted lips. ❝ did you sleep okay ? ❞
❝ you didn’t realize, did you ? ❞ there’s a SADNESS to stacy’s gaze, a tight pull to her lips as she tries to maintain a smile. ❝ no one here seemed to realize how much i CARED about you... and i missed you. ❞
@drliscuddy gets a random starter bc stacy is emo

❛ Um. ❜ She’s got a cotton bud in one hand, and the syringe in the other. ❛ How do you wanna do this ? ❜ Cameron refers, of course, to the fact Lisa’s pencil skirt is too tight to shimmy all the way up her thigh. They’ve been at this for a while now, and Cameron’s felt a sort of paradoxical tight-chested relief at coming back to this stage : coming back after the failure to take last time.
Cameron pushes that thought aside, it sinks to the back of her mind like a pebble in a well. There are living things she needs to occupy her time with. She tilts her head to one side, a disarming and patient downward curve to her lips.
@drliscuddy is my favourite meme
LIVE A LITTLE. GETTING THE DIAGNOSIS WAS THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME. Her friend - patient - friend - gay patient with the death and the dad. He’d given her the drugs, told her that she could if only she wanted to. And she wanted to. Wants to.
Her hand hits off the bedside table, and she clumsily snatches her phone. “Hello,” she murmurs to herself. Messages. That’s new. What time is it? The numbers won’t focus, but there is an eight in among them. In her messages, she sees a single little letter, a tiny letter, smallest letter. C. She can’t read anything else really, or if she does the information bleeds out of her eyes again. She forgot to do the IVF for Cuddy. Her heart is pounding. Her heart is going to explode. Like, physically it is going to rip out of her chest and she’ll hear the thumping of it beating on her bed, the bed with the bedsheets yoking off the bed corners. leaving the scratchy exposed mattress face under her skin. Cameron can’t stop fixating on a piece of music that she’s forgotten the name of. She keeps her jaw clenched.
[ C. ] I’m Sorry!! I mised the shot. [ C. ] :( . [ C. ] SOrry! Soryr baby . [ C. ] I can do it now, my aim is on. [ C. ] [ LOCATION SHARING: ON. ] [ C. ] donnt be sad? COme over. [ C. ] Please
This is the most brilliant idea she’s ever, ever had. She keeps kicking her heels into the bed and she remembers her mother on the couch who did the same thing. “Fucking hell. Fuck.” She says, again just to herself. She’s not checked her phone in a long time, but she doesn’t have a very solid idea of time at the moment. Cuddy crosses her mind, and she bites her lip, mostly for the sake of guilt. Without checking for a response, she sends again: [ C. ] Where have you done?
