My emotions won't shut up (so I might shut down)

by marvelousbutterfly

"Mr. Parker, what is a coordination compound?" Okay, that was an easy one. Peter had known this since middle school, he could probably answer this in his sleep. So, with an air of confidence in the midst of all his nervousness, the boy straightened his back and opened his mouth to answer, and… nothing. No no no no no. This can't be happening. Not right now, thought the boy. ---------- In which Peter has a shutdown at school, Ned is a great friend, and Tony comes to the rescue. (This is part of a series, but can be read on its own)

alien blues

by dragonbugg (skulltrot)

Autistic burnout is a fickle thing for something that was such an annoying constant in Donnie’s life, but this one was agonizingly persistent and, more frustratingly, came out of seemingly nowhere.OR; Donnie has that funky mix of sensory overload and understimulation, but his brothers help him manage it.

the blood on my hands

by Polaroidpictures

Donnie often found it easier to ignore, rather than accept. He would ignore the cuts and scrapes on his hands after working on an invention for too long. He would ignore the looks Leo gave him after he was in his lab(also for too long), and then ignore the uncomfortably long and tight hugs Mikey gave him that followed Leo’s looks. He would ignore Raph’s long and never-ending rants about how he should take care of himself. Now, he ignored everything. He ignored when Leo banged on the door of his lab yelling for him to come out, he ignored Mikey’s worried statements, he ignored the gross slimy feeling that took over his entire body every once in a while. He ignored how Raph almost knocked the door of his lab down every few hours, fixing it in complete silence. He ignored texts from April, and he ignored the burning sensation that flooded through his hands and arms. He ignored the emptiness in his chest and the pain in his head. He mindlessly worked, drawing out random blueprints for things he didn't need. He fused random metal scraps into random shapes. He did everything he could to forget.

Hourglass

by SaturnChild

"There ain't nothing more sad than a kid raised to be quiet."Frank’s eyes stray back to Matt; his fingernails digging into his knees with that far away look in his sightless eyes as Billy talked at him. He hadn’t said a word. He suddenly understands what Curt meant. This story happens before and during the events of State of Disorder: A Triptych

Why You Should Never Drive In Torrential Rain

by jack_hunter

JJ had called ahead to let the team know they were on their way back. Hotch was driving - he always drove because he got really bad car sickness, not that he would tell the others - but the rain was making it difficult. They were going well under the speed limit, slowing for every turn with their high beams on, but visibility was still low. That was probably why neither of them noticed the car that rammed into the driver’s side until it was too late. Day Twenty - Lost & Found || Trapped Underwater
