Fics like drifting

i have a lot of headcanons about star + trauma, because with a backstory like that, he has every right to be traumatized and probably is. one of the big ones is that he's not used to being Allowed or safe enough to externalize negative emotions, so he externalizes them in the form of what's basically self harm because it's something about his body that he could control when there was nothing else he could control and because he heals so quickly that no one really notices. this is just almost 3.5k words of shatterstar having a breakdown and ric trying his best to help. -- “Star?” He makes his voice as gentle as he can manage, leaning against the door to the bathroom; the wood is cool against the side of his face as he listens for anything. When he’s met with no response, not even movement from the other side of the door, he grows more urgent, “Star. Are you okay? Please, just let me know, even if you can’t talk right now, I just need to know.” If this is even a fraction of what Tabs went through dealing with him, he needs to call her and apologize as soon as he knows Star’s alright.
