Never Surrender

by r2roswell

An AU of Beckett's past. We all have our ways of coping with life's problems. Kate Beckett is no different but her ways don't fit in "traditional" or "normal" methods of coping. She's never told anyone and no one has asked. Until now.

Author's Note A

1. Trigger Warning

The subject you're about to read deals with the act of self harm. Details are conveyed in a realistic way. I did it for reasons you shall see in the last author's note section.

2. Partial AU

It's AU in the sense that we know that the character never actually dealt with this kind of problem. I wrote it as part of a healing process for myself. Again you shall see in the last author's note section.

It's also AU in the sense that the character mentioned getting a tattoo when he/she was between 16 and 17. For purposes of the story I have changed that to the age of 20.
