icon but i've got a question!

Since we're all fandom happy around here, I've got a fandomy question! For those fic junkies out there, what fics have made you cry? I'm a total lush so I cry a lot but there are a couple of stories that come to mind that I can't even read anymore because I know I'll end up sobbing. Okay, so maybe stories that make you sob or cry. Any fanfic that does that to you? Share them!

I'm too chicken to read Reaper Boy. ;)

I'm a huge sap, so tearing up a little happens all the time. I don't necessarily count those. But two that I went through entire boxes of tissues while reading and that I will never read again are Randall's "Seven Stages" and Rhi's? "Apollo's End" (don't remember who wrote that).

The final chapter of Miss Miko's epic "Fantasy Season." The saving grace of this one and "Seven Stages" is that they've been together forever and Brian's 80 or so, if I remember right.

_kiden had one that was just a little one shot, maybe just a thousand words or so, where Brian's cancer returned. Michael came over to say goodbye, Brian died that night or early the next morning, and Justin lies there with him wishing for just ten more minutes. holy shit, I'm teary just typing the description. christ.

I hate death!fic, and I don't really seek it out, but sometimes you just need a good weep.

Oh, and one that didn't make me cry, but that bothered me so much, made me feel actually sick, was also one of Randall's - the one Brian/Adrian-Adrian/Brian. omfg. I can't hardly even think about that one. I'd probably read a death fic over a fic where they split up and don't get back together. I just can't do those at all.

Aww! But Reaper Boy is such a fandom classic. It needs to be done. It's such a great fic ... maybe skip the end and read the rest? lol.

I can never read Seven Stages. That's the one that absolutely wrecks me! Every part of it is great and then it hits the last part and there I go cry for several hours. :|

I think I made an attempt to read through the Brian/Adrian saga once but it was kind of painful to get through. I think I just need to read more Brian and Justin than want to see those two with anyone else.

Great list though!
