fantasticbeasts_kinkmeme | Prompt Post #2

ROUND 2

Seeing as we've reached 4,000 comments in Round 1, it's time to make a new one. Same (lack of) rules apply. Gentle reminder to everyone to refrain from posting extremely long prompts, though. While no word limit will be imposed, take note that it is very unlikely for someone to fulfill your prompt if your prompt alone is already several paragraphs long and containing a number of specifications.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
-(01/14/2016) We now have a TRADING POST where you can exchange fills with people.
-The prompt freeze is over! You may resume posting prompts. The next freeze is scheduled on February 8, 12:00 AM (PST) or if this round reaches 4,000 comments; whichever comes first.
-Due to popular demand, we now have our first couple of rules!
RULE #1: No prompt must exceed 250 words. Any prompt that exceeds that WILL be screened.
RULE #2: Please state RPF in the subject line if your prompt involves real people.
RULE #3: No kinkshaming.

Also: interested in helping out the kink meme? We are in need of:
-Mods to help manage the kinkmeme itself
-Volunteers to help update the tumblr page
If you have free time to do one or the other, go ahead and e-mail us at fantasticbeastskink@gmail.com.
Thank you to those who have already volunteered, and have a nice day.

So, I have been living with PTSD for several years now, and can mostly manage my symptoms well, but sometimes (very rarely at this point) they get a little overwhelming and I have a bad day that I can get through fairly easily.

My family, on the other hand, panics at the slightest hint that something might be difficult or off for me. They'll bombard me with feel-good messages and 'helpful' suggestions or even, as happened yesterday, contact my psychiatrist behind my back. My psychiatrist, however, knows to just check in with me and then give me some breathing space.

I'd like to see a fic where, at least 4 years post-movie, Original!Graves is doing well over all, but just has a bad day and all of his co-workers or family fall over themselves trying to be helpful. He gets so frustrated with how *unhelpful* it all is when he just wants someone to treat him like he's as competent as he is that he snaps at someone that he's "not made of glass!"

I'd prefer that if you go the Newt/Graves route, that Newt be the one person who treats him normally but does little things to make a bad day more bearable.

Prompt Post #2

Gen or Newt/Original!Graves; PTSD 4+ years after movie, "I'm not made of glass!"
