beta thanks. </a></a>
edhelagreenleaf </b>for helping me decide what I wanted to do with the ending, and encouraging me to rewrite something instead of just dropping the idea.
summary. A car accident leaves Patrick without his voice. Six months later, and still voiceless, he's falling apart at the seams.
wordcount. 4211 (this will probably be the only one this long, it was a fic I wanted to write anyways, and isn't solely for the challenge)
prompt number. number 94 handicap, for bandom_100
disclaimer. [Fan]fiction: something feigned, invented, or imagined; a made-up story
pairing. patrickxpeter, bits and pieces of friendship jonwalkerxpatrick
warnings. Patrick with no voice. Angsty. Emo-y
author's notes. inspired most heavily by 'Big Girls Don't Cry' by Fergie. Yes, please don't laugh. It's a good song. It was on repeat during the entire writing process. I tried to stick with it to the best of my ability.
I totally blame team angst on this. They have polluted my romantic brain D; I haven't ever written something this long or something that has such a not romantic, fluffy ending.
