M: Are you okay? N: No... He can't stop crying. I don't know what to do. M: Drink some water. Get some rest, I'll take care of him.

When I was lost in the mire of illness, I pencilled “success is survival” on the end of my wooden bedframe, a quote attributed to Leonard Cohen. Recovery was something I strived for, but it felt completely out of my grasp. I was desperate for that narrative turn, the breakthrough: a straightforward journeying from sickness to health. I couldn’t really conceive of an alternative. But not everyone can get well in the way endorsed by recovery narratives. By its very nature, chronic illness resists having a beginning, middle and end. To imagine that surviving was an accomplishment in itself was a great comfort. […] By individualising our personal stories – our illness narratives – we fail to grapple with the contextual aspects of health and wellbeing. It is the world as it is that also contributes to our sickness. In Recovery in the Bin’s words, recovery is “impossible for many of us because of the intolerable social and economic conditions, such as poor housing, poverty, stigma, racism, sexism, unreasonable work expectations, and countless other barriers”.

once again this "dracula AU" business is just an excuse to picture the gang from the mid-24th century (where everything's grimy and fashion isn't a thing) in fun and sexy historical outfits (historically accurate, of course, and all the hotter for it) but i just realized that if one translated bobbie as quincey, there's a really funny option for both having some analogue to her power armor and dealing with the "quincey goes outside and shoots a bat that may or may not be dracula" scene.

picture it, the godalming house, 189X, a strange bunch of gorgeous people are plotting against an evil, immortal nobleman who drinks blood, when one of them, the handsome cowboy bobbie morris, stands up, orders everyone to get on the ground and not get up until she returns, and leaves the room. there's a lot of stuff being moved around in the other room. she walks out with something so heavy it seems to shake the entire building as she moves. nobody sees it. it's Something.

moments later, there's a horrible grinding sound, followed by bullets hitting the side of the house, shattering every window, and the aforementioned cowboy screaming "DIE MONSTER! YOU DON'T BELONG IN THIS WORLD!" over the din.

mrs. naomi harker is the first to look outside when the noise stops, and she nearly faints, looking like the proverbial romance novel heroine clutching her heaving bosom and smiling. everyone else looks, and sees morris running around after a bat with one of these.

she's packing serious heat. she's got that newfangled gatling with the crocker-wheeler motor attachment.

Spencer has been crying for an hour now, and I'm crying with him. I can't handle it. I put him down in his cot and left the room. I left him alone. He needs me and I've left him. I feel guilty. I'm a terrible mother.

There is no doubt that Haig’s story, and others, have started conversations that otherwise might not have happened. The fact they’ve become bestsellers shows the appetite for stories that reflect the realities of illness and explore how hard it can be to stay alive. But these accounts remain within the bounds of acceptability. Through the pursuit of recovery, of self-adaptation, these books implicitly suggest ill health should be something we can ultimately escape, fuelled by self-motivation, hope and resilience. Illness should not be chronic. They fit the genre of ‘The Recovery Narrative’ — a term used by Angela Woods, Akiko Hart and Helen Spandler to describe the increasing reliance on recovery as a “dominant approach to the management of mental distress and illness”. Linear recovery narratives are not only endorsed through popular culture but, as Woods, Hart and Spandler write, a policy context in which patients are encouraged to “speak out” in accordance with preconceived “generic conventions”, such as a reaching “rock bottom” and getting better from there.
