fic: Compartmentalize. [khr, AU]

Rating/warnings: Mentions of abusive behaviour. Addictions. Disease. Character death. Suicide. ...so, uh. Whatever rating that gets.
Characters: Xanxus, Squalo. Brief cameo of Yamamoto. Mention of OCs.
Genre: Darkfic. AU. Potentially shippy if you squint, or, y'know, know about it.
Word count: 1640 pre-editing.
Notes: An AU flopflopflop and I made an age ago and never finished playing through. There's no mafia in this AU, instead, we have football. And then I applied real life med knowledge to it and it all went downhill from there. This doesn't go into detail of even half the tragedy.
This did not get beta-read, either. Any corrections, concrit, comments are very much welcome.
Summary: Sometimes you have to set things aside not think about things to keep your head in the game.
