    Summary

    He was willing to chip at it, at his father’s carefully constructed cage, bit by bit. He could make it clear that his body was not his; and what with everybody so keen to take control of it, he could make sure they know that everybody—anybody was welcome to do with it what they will.

    (He didn’t hate his father as much as he hated himself anymore.)

    It was a small rebellion, more or less invisible, but he could see it. And Neil Perry just wasn’t brave enough to rebel in bolder colours anymore.

    After a failed suicide attempt, Neil is desperately trying to hang on to who he was before, but that person is slipping through his fingers. He’s not sure whether he ever existed at all.

    Summary

    "It's just his shoulder! Call an ambulance, he'll be alright, it's just his shoulder!"

    As Neil was pulled into an embrace and voices he couldn't focus on drifted through his ears, he thought, Fuck. Fuck.

    He missed.

     

    Or, an AU where Neil survives his suicide attempt and his mental health is actually addressed.

    Title taken from Light from Next to Normal.
