PLEASE READ FIRST!

Alright guys. First and most important thing, THIS IS NOT MY STORY. Its a MIRROR from the Homestuck kink meme and was written by ribsgrowback there.

ribsgrowback has given permission for people to mirror their fanfiction, so I am going to do it here. Original can be found here: ht tp: / homesmut .livejournal .com / 9406 . ht ml? thread = 14554302 just remove the spaces.

This is the original promt from the meme:

I've seen things about Karkat having self-harm issues. And it made me think that maybe someone could write an AU where the trolls are in a psychiatric treatment center? And I guess the kids could be the therapists/psychiatrists, especially Rose, since she's into psychoanalysis. No smut necessary, but I like Sollux/Feferi, Gamzee/Tavros, and most other pairings if you want to add it.

I will be updating the chapters as close as possible to when the author post new stuff on the kink meme. Also, rating and genre may (and are quite likely) to change, MAY BE TRIGGER WARNINGS LATER. I WILL MARK THESE CHAPTERS. I say MAY because I have no idea what the original author is planning, seeing as I am just mirroring for them.

This is a really great story, so lets all enjoy it!

==EVERYONE: ENTER INDIVIDUAL THERAPY

"So, how are you feeling today?"

"Oh fuck off, it's not like you 8ctually c8re."

"I guess I'm 0k. Better than I was I guess? I'm making friends. Wh0? 0h, S0llux and Feferi and Tavr0s, m0stly. Equius is nice, t00, but we d0n't speak as 0ften. I d0n't feel as bad when they're ar0und. It's nice, I guess."

"Abso-fucking-lutely brilliant, it's not like the whole world is still going on outside and I'm not in it-YES it's a big deal, everyone is out there fucking ruminating on my whereabouts like 'Oh Karkat's stuck in the loony bin for having his head shoved so far up his ass that it's coming out of his neck in some kind of fucking ridiculous anatomical mobius double-reacharound ELL-OH-FUCKING-ELL isn't that just FUCKING HILARIOUS'-no I am not getting defensiveit's just stupid and what are you even talking about? Ofcourse it's shameful to be here it means I'm loco as fuck-"

"Have you bonded with anyone in the group?"

"Bonded? Hell I'll be datin Fef by the time wwe get out of this she is amazin and I think she feels the same wway-wwhat? No I'm not movvin on too fast I am perfectly capable of havvin a successful fuckin relationship..."

":33 Equius and I get along wonderfurly! Noooo, not like that! He's in college, that's too old! He's like a brother, only not annoying! He's helping me take my mind off of my cats, and I guess even though I still feel pawful about not being able to take care of all of them I guess.. that I wasn't taking very good care of them since I had so many? That's what he told me and it made me feel a lot better."

"We talked about your treatment goals in our last session. Have you accomplished any of them yet?"

"I Can Assure You That I Have Met All Of My Goals And That's Really All There Is To Say On The Matter. No, We Do Not Need To Examine These Successes. No. I Do Not Appreciate The Fact That I Am Not To Be Trusted You Really Do Not Need To Have Me WeighedDaily Honestly That's Simply Ridiculous."

"D- I have succeeded in remembering the four R's. They have not been 100% effective as of yet but I am attempting to recognize and halt the obsessive behooviors. This morning I walked from my room to the cafeteria without counting the f100r tiles. It felt horribly... depraved. But I suppose that it could be counted as a success. In the eyes of professionals."

"What were some high and low points that you've experienced since our last session?"

"HM... 4RT TH3R4PY 1S PR3TTY MUCH 4 CONST4NT LOW PO1NT FOR M3. 1'V3 B33N TRY1NG TO P4RT1C1P4TE, BUT 1T'S SOM3TIM3S TOO H4RD TO D34L W1TH. HOW DO 1 P4RT1C1P4T3? W3LL..

A/N: The therapist's questions here are bolded. They're either Dave or Rose-they'll be characterized further later, but for now I just wanted to show the patients' reactions to generic therapeutic questions!
