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!

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.

We've talked about Reaper Boy weeping above!

That story WRECKS ME from beginning to end. You think everything might be okay, there may be some kind of 'brought back to life' scenario but NOPE. I guess I torture myself since it brings my two favorite shows together and you think you're gonna make it without a tear but ... it just doesn't happen. :|

OMG. I REMEMBER THIS.

I think mojokitten wrote the other death!fic I'm thinking about or someone did maybe you remember it. It was Justin leaving voice messages to Brian throughout the day and Brian wasn't picking up his phone. All the messages were in italics and every message was sort of a time stamp on Justin's last day until the last one where he's like "waiting for you to pick me up" or something and he died right after that.

... why are they always killing Justin, lol.

I'll try to think of the one where Brian fucks Ethan. I swear I thought it was mojokitten but must be somewhere else.

Ahahahahaha I know, that's why I said that -- everyone has named Reaper Boy! I tried to make it blink and scroll, but couldn't remember the HTML.

I remember that Justin death fic now that you mention it! Omg even mojokittycat's happy fics could make me cry, they were so good.

[amelialourdes.livejournal.com]

Omg excuse my lack of radar for sarcasm. My brain has not awoken. I laughed about it now, lol. It's blinking! I think for scrolling it's just "marquee" tags.

REAPER BOY

Let's see if that works.

Yes! They were so good. This makes me wanna do a list of death fics or something, lol. But I can't remember the name of any of them because I clicked out of them since they depressed me after reading. Hmm. May have to go hunting for it. That Brian and Ethan one is stuck in my head. Didn't they do it in some shady motel or a back alley? One of those.

[lucie-inthesky.livejournal.com]

MARQUEE! Argh. I almost went with that one, but then thought... no that can't be it. I tried "Scroll" I think, or maybe it was "Span", but obvs neither worked. None of them are blinking for me, though :( Perhaps it's my browser?

TESTING TESTING!!!

And it's not scrolling for me, either. Damn you, Safari.

The B/E one was definitely in a shady motel, I remember that cause it just added to the grossness that was Brian and Ethan. I went back through sweetestdrain's fic and FOUND IT!!! Boys of Melody is the name! I skimmed through it and didn't re-read the whole thing, cause I'm not in the mood for death and gross right now, but this is definitely the one I was thinking of. Now to go through mojokitten's back catalog...

[amelialourdes.livejournal.com]

Oh! It's not working on mine either, wtf. I think Firefox just doesn't wanna work today.

BOYS OF MELODY.

Someone mentioned that. Obviously didn't remember the title. I think I'll think about reading it over again. Hell, I probably will. Ooh, let me know if you find dead!Justin fic. I don't know if it made me cry but it certainly makes me feel depressed, lol.

[lucie-inthesky.livejournal.com]

Well, I went through mojokid's memories and QAF US tags, but didn't see anything resembling what you described. I do remember that fic, though, with the bits of messages. There's really no telling who the writer was, though. Ugh.

You're going to give us a list of everything you've been recommended, yes? Even though I'm not really wanting a list of death and depression, it'd be great to have for next time we're all nostalgic!

I think I'll just ask getithere. Someone has to know it. I'm on it. Thanks for looking!

Totally! Have you seen my original long ass rec list? I haven't updated it in ages. But I need to since bjfic died and most of the links go there.

[amelialourdes.livejournal.com]

Omg. Found it through getithere. I can't believe that we didn't think to look through this. It's I'll Wait For You by bea_nonymous. Seems so easy to find now in retrospective, lol.

Aida was the last person I would've thought of, no lie. I always remember howling at her funny stories, but all her amazing tear-jerkers are coming back to me now... They were pretty darn great as well. Thanks so much for finding and linking! HOORAY WE GOT IT!!!!!!!

[amelialourdes.livejournal.com]

Totally agree! I complete equate her with other, happier things. But it was her very, very first fic and it certainly left an impression! Welcome! I'm sooooooooooo happy to have found it.
