icon but i've got a question!

[amelialourdes]

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!

Hmm. I'm sure many have, such I'm a huge sap. Right now I'm drawing a complete blank. I need some caffeine.

REAPER BOY OMG

"The Long Way" by Bigboobedcanuck and Ragingpixie is one of the few fics that truly brought me to "tissue required" tears. Absolutely brilliant!

I've teared up here and there at plenty of fic, but I don't think I've ever actually cried reading any.

I cry all the time writing fic, though. I think it's because I'm trying to get into the characters' heads and thus end up even more emotionally invested/connected to them.

Does my own count? I sobbed during the writing of Hereafter, LOL!

Found and Raise Up Heart also made me cry.

Another QAF fic that always makes me teary-eyed is Lachrymose:

In other fandoms, this SPN fic totally made me cry - I think because I relate so much to Dean in this, having an addict sibling and being so unsure all the time. Ugh, it kills me but beautifully.

And the ending of this Clex fic just KILLS ME:

I cried writing Vampire Reid due to massive exhaustion, and writing my post-train fic because I wrote it pre-train and thought it was going to be better than it actually was.

As for crying at fic, I don't think I have at any in the LuRe fandom. I did tear up at one Doctor Who/Torchwood fic from years ago, because when Jack was FINALLY about to die, the Doctor picked him up and took him to see Nine and Rose before he first met them. This was written before Ten met Rose (pre-Nine) before his regeneration. I cried at one DAAS fic, one Merlin fic, and one The OC fic, which was weird because I'm not even in the fandom. But I can't for the life of me remember what they were.

IF YOU NEEDED ME, OBVS. God, I cried like a baby, A BABY.

And also this autistic!justin fic I'm not allowed to mention because everyone says it's dirtybadwrong :x I don't care, it's my fave that I read whenever I need emotional catharsis because it delivers in spades. I find it utterly adorable, empathic, fascinating and so sad omg poor princess Justin :(

i try not to read fics that make me cry, but I read a story (can't remember who wrote it) where Brian is drugged or really drunk & cheats on Justin with some guy. The guy actually commits suicide in Brian's office. I definitely cried over this fic.

[turnyourankle.livejournal.com]

in qaf i think only reaper boy. or oh, i think also boys of melody. maybe alien? it upset me a lot, at least, i'm not sure if i cried.

i'm not sure about other fandoms! i've avoided death/ghost fics ever since then (and yet i've written them...hahah). there was one stargate atlantis fic that made me cry though (and i'm not even in that fandom) haha.

Sobbing Over FanFic

[fansee.livejournal.com]

I can't remember ever crying over fanfic. That's more a result of avoiding any fic that gives me the least hint it will make me sad - that's not what I want in a fic at all, at all.

I definitely never read death!fics. FanSee

P.S. I did tear up at the end of Teacher - forget who wrote it - but only because the ending was so perfect.

Tear-Adverse

[fansee.livejournal.com]

So if I'm so averse to crying, why did I add this post to my Memories? *ponders*

[lucie-inthesky.livejournal.com]

Here's a new one that's not yet been suggested:

REAPER BOY

Jesus H Christopher that one was rough. So good, but omg from the first chapter it was like... :(( :(( :((

There was another QAF one and the title is escaping me... I think it was by sweetestdrain (I think that's her name? The one who wrote the unbelievably awesome Hustler!Justin?) This one killed Justin, and Brian ends up with Ethan and vomits :| :| :| It was gloriously sad cause EVERYONE was fucked over in that fic. If you remember this one or find it in your search, let me know what it's called! I kinda want to read that again.

[mmmorpheusq.livejournal.com]

I never, never, never read DeathFics, except I did read REAPER BOY because I loved DEAD LIKE ME. And I re-read REAPER BOY about twice a year now, because it's just so perfectly written. Besides, I'm positive that, by now, I can handle it. Ha! Each time, I cry myself silly.

[highd.livejournal.com]

Plum's Beyond The Yellow Brick Road story leaves me so emotionally drained sometimes, it's silly. I have cried buckets over that story.

[natkinnat.livejournal.com]

"Constant" by Trisky.

There was no warning that it's a death fic. And it's not obvious until the last page. (it's only 14 pages long)
It's so beautifully written. I've read over 300 fics already (I've just counted all the saved read fics), and there haven't been anything more beautifully written so far in my way.

[on-the-ground.livejournal.com]

I tried to remember but I just couldn't.. :(

[vlredreign.livejournal.com]

Reaper Boy, The Long Way and Dead Lesbiansverse. omg....

I just read one from the Lambliff Big Bang that BROKE MY ASS. And another that wasn't part of the fest, and even tho it ended well, it was just...it hurt, SO BAD.

[court1429.livejournal.com]

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.

[anyusa0030.livejournal.com]

growing up kinney i felt like someone was squeezing my heart out of my chest.divergence do i even have to say it.velediction i seriously can not read this fic in one go ,i need time for my eyes to heal after every charpter.remission i cried untill i thought i ran out of tears.

[sodoesrachael.livejournal.com]

Have you ever read mine? TONS of comments say people cried while reading this one in particular, and I cried while writing it. :)

Leaving The Hospital; I'm Going Home Part One (http://community.livejournal.com/fic_tastic69/356.html) | Part Two (http://community.livejournal.com/fic_tastic69/661.html)

And then there's this one:

Always and Never (http://community.livejournal.com/fic_tastic69/933.html)

Just a warning: I have an 'I kill people' tag for my fanfic for a reason. ;)
