Title: Newspaper Clippings
Fandom: Lotrips
Pairing: Orlijah eventually
Rating: PG-13
Complete: Only in my head.
Genre: Angst, hurt/comfort, romance
Summary: Elijah wanted a normal life. But he isn't sure he'll ever be able to have one, given his proclivities for obsession and ritual. He finally has his own apartment, his own life but everything is turned on its head when an angel walks into his life, needing a place to live.
Warnings: Contains content about obsessive compulsive disorder.

Note: This is a fic I began writing back in 2010, but ended up losing track of. It's been on my mind as of late, so this is my rewrite of it. The original can be found in its unfinished entirety here. My plan is to finish it within the month.

Trigger warning: Talk of mental illness and obsessive compulsive behaviour patterns

Also, a note on the OCD behaviours. I understand that not every person, with this disorder is the same, these are just based on individual experiences and not representative of the community as a whole.

Chapter Summary:Elijah can't stop himself when he needs to stop and it's up to Orlando to pick up the pieces.
Author's Note: This is the hardest of anything I've ever had to write. A lot of people don't realize that those with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder aren't just anal retentive, they CAN'T stop themselves some of the time. Hopefully this will give people a better understanding of what it is like.

Thank you sparkly_shiny. You're still awesome, and an amazing friend. Thank you to everyone who has reviewed this fic, with such kind and encouraging words. I can hardly believe how nice and wonderful everyone in this fandom is.
