Looking for a fanfic that might’ve been a Merlin fanfiction; I only remember explicitly that a poem was at the start and the end.

The first part of the poem was “do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep” which was in italics at the start of the fanfic.

The second part of the poem at the end of the fanfic was “do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die.” In italics.

Does anyone have any idea of what fic this could be?

I think I remember this fic! (I have over 300 Merlin bookmarks on Ao3 so it’ll take a bit but I wanted to note that you’re not alone in remembering that!)

This?? Maybe?? I didn’t have this one bookmarked so it might have been another one but it seems to match your description?

YES THIS IS THE ONE! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

I only have the vaguest memory of a fanfic, but does anyone know it? It was centered around Jason Todd and included “do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep” at the start of the fic and then “do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die” at the end; this is a long shot but thought I’d try anyway. It’s on ao3.

I am BEGGING people to stop using Heartstopper as some sort of benchmark for LGBTQ media, no, Leviticus is not the “horror version of Heartstopper” please stop

[seren-dipitous-art]

…okay so what if the problem with the taomeba never happened on the way back home. What if the radiation never got onto the Blip-A. What if Rocky ended up back on Erid, and Grace made it back to Earth. What if they missed each other desperately forever.

What if Grace made a lopsided crochet Rocky and cuddled it every night.

What if Rocky couldn’t stop making xenonite puppets of his alien friend.

What if I made myself cry, what about that? Huh? What then?

Why the fuck did you do this to me

[chasing-caws]

This Kyle parsons guy seems really pompous and just irritating like he’s trying to seem all lofty

[chasing-caws]

Idk I just think it’s interesting how Curry Barker is down to earth and so normal while this Kyle Parsons? is so lofty and seems to think so highly of himself, complaining about lore for anything which is just weird as hell

[chasing-caws]

Jesus backrooms fans are so sensitive and easy to trigger it’s pathetic.

They throw a tantrum if you dare to call the movie awful, then claim you’re dumb/have no media literacy for not liking it.

They claim it being a psychological horror film made it so “normies” didn’t understand it. I love watching psychological horrors, this was not a good one. Things rapidly would abruptly shift with no real connection to previous scenes, leaving things feeling messy and muddled.

It’s all around just an awful film, but if you don’t absolutely love it the fans go psycho on you.

Giant Adrian my love

[shrugsinchinese]

Since Eridians are hermaphrodites and sexual dimorphism isn’t really a thing for them I thought of the reason as to how Adrian grew so much larger while Rocky was away

I’ll say the normal eridian adult molts once every 35-40 human years and Adrian’s friends and family were concerned AF because they were going once every 12 years or so. Said loved ones forced Adrian to get a therapist about 5 (still human) years before Rocky and Grace returned

[chasing-caws]

This post is so important to me now

[chasing-caws]

On instagram I saw someone trying to minimize people who felt for Grace for being chosen because he had no earthly ties, they were complaining that he would’ve been chosen with or without family and that it was ridiculous to care about the “you don’t even have a dog” scene but like it DOES matter because it’s still an attempt at justification

[chasing-caws]

Bro this person is going insane in the replies, they said they were more empathetic than others for saying Grace should’ve went on the suicide missions without a fight; the irony of that.

[chasing-caws]

Having to deal with ableist, shitty cunts on a fucking game team, they tell you you’re “blowing things out of proportion” and that you’re “taking the game too seriously” for daring to have emotions after they scolded you severely for daring to not be the best. Hypocritical piece of shit cunts, I hope that woman gets her child taken away with how ableist she is, it should be safe from her.

[aroace-ryland-grace]

Perhaps I'm being overly sentimental, but the fact that the last line Rocky says through the translator (and therefore James Ortiz's last spoken line in the film that isn't in the video Stratt watches at the end which was recorded way before they say goodbye) is, "we don't, we do this," regarding Eridian goodbyes always gets me 'cause it kind of feels like it's James Ortiz saying goodbye to the audience too

[chasing-caws]

The way he says “we don’t” fills me with so much emotion it’s so simple yet so beautiful the cadence of his voice
