Justin death fic

I don't normally like death fics, other than Reaper Boy and Counting Blue Cars. But I was reading the wonderfully poignant I'll Wait for You when I remembered another story that I read ages ago and would like to find again.

It had Justin driving back to the Pitts, I think, and he avoided an accident somehow ... but then everything in Brian's life went wrong and the only way Justin could mend things was to go back and let the crash happen ...

I've checked the major character death fics but couldn't find it - there are so many! - and I'm sure one of you knows what I'm talking about. Help, anyone?

FOUND SUPERQUICK by Moonbrightnites. It's Suzvoy's Strange and Untrue ... link in comments.

Is that 'Strange and Untrue' by Suzvoy?
If not, you should read this anyhow. :)

Yes, that's it! Of course it was Suzvoy. Duh.

Thank you so much! (happy little dance)

I hate it when great authors like Suz write such tragic stories.
I can't just dismiss them for being bad and uncompelling and move on :( I wish all deathfics were badfics!

When I first read I'll Wait for You I didn't know it was a death fic .. I was happily smiling along at a cute little fic and then - AAAAGH! I shut it down and swore never to read another death fic as long as I lived. But it kind of burrowed its way into my subconscious and when I thought about how very well written the story was I read it again ...

I've found a couple of others since, mainly through other people's reccs; I don't often indulge, only when I get the urge to self-flagellate!

This one was especially amazing, except for the part where it broke me. :(

Speaking of Justin!death fic, Suz's "So does life" took my heart away, I lost count how many time I read it and cried my heart out for it. She's such a heartbreaker if you ask me.

Bookmarked! But does Justin die in that one, too? I don't think I can handle that right now. :(

Yeah, unfortunately. I don't want to be a spoiler but you better prepare yourself, a Kleenex is awesome company. Sorry.

Do you have a link to "I'll Wait for You"?

[identity profile] nightvision55.livejournal.com 2012-03-01 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
It's by bea-nonymous and it's in the GIH 4-shared Folder on the sidebar.

I just went over to the GIH 4-shared Folder, and I found a lot of stories by bea-nonymous, but nothing called "I'll Wait for You". Is there any other way to find it???

Many Thanks,
Cathy
