Depression

Through the show, you definitely see Don struggle with depression. Are there any fics that have him deal with this?? Or have Alan and Charlie helping???

Thanks

Um... Not to pimp my own stuff to much but the fourth story in my Whitman 'verse (A Woman Waits for Me) starts with Don having a bit of a crisis and spending a lot of time on Brandford's couch. http://ladygray99.livejournal.com/15583.html

I also have this little piece http://ladygray99.livejournal.com/52089.html which is episode related.

And this one http://ladygray99.livejournal.com/74866.html which is about Don leaving baseball.

Try reading Time, by alienonmyshoulder. Also, you might like Pain and Failure by sleathy290. But the second one has Don cutting to deal with his pain, so beware. Both of these are in the archives.

... You could also count Don's downward spiral as 'partial' depression in Irena Adler's 'Watson verse'; but, of course, there's a WHOLE LOT more there...

aries_taurus and thestorypit have some, I'm fairly certain, and they're either gen/het. You'd have to have a look through their fic to find the appropriate ones.

My self-pimps that fit the bill:
Aftermath - het (Don/Robin), PG-13, spoilers for 6.02, 1130 words. The fallout from Friendly Fire. Don reaches out for help.

Time to Free the Monster - het (Don/Robin, Charlie/Amita, past Don/Liz), R, spoilers for season 6, 100,460 words. Don Eppes starts acting out of character and putting lives at risk. Has he had a psychotic break, is this who he always really has been, or is there something more going on?
