I don't mind Reaper Boy so much as a death fic, because it still - in my mind, anyway - has a happy ending :) But it's a little too much Justin/other throughout for me to read it often. I'm a wuss about them with other people much more than I am about death, lol.

Though the only death fic I'll ever really happily reread is suzvoy's Better Now.

And mclachlan is a genius but I am NEVER reading Counting Blue Cars again. That fucked me up for days.

You're right, Reaper Boy does have a happy ending, in a strange sort of way. It's a stretch, but yeah, I'll go along with that.

I've started two other death fics that did NOT have a warning, and stopped reading the moment it became clear what was up. I'm almost tempted to read Better Now, since you loved it so much and since I've enjoyed other Suzvoy stories, but I think I need more convincing!

Well, lol, it's very short? No, seriously, Justin is dead (from the bashing) from the very start of the fic, so no unexpected shocks. He visits Brian, and they manage to be together in their own way.
