#sad fics

[inevitably-johnlocked]

Hi. If you have any stories that you've really cried over. Preferably 20,000 words or more.

Hi Nonny!

I do!! I have a list of Fics that Made Me Cry there, and I don't have enough for a second list, but here are three more to add to the list:

The Skin Over My Heart by standbygo (E, 8,849 w., 1 Ch. || Post-Hiatus, Fake Relationship, Case Fic, Dog Tags, Military, Homophobia, Gay Bashing, POV First Person Sherlock, Friends to Lovers, First Kiss / Time, Declarations of Love, Undercover, Haircuts, Flashbacks, Touching, Pining Sherlock, Hospitalization, Metaphors, Introspection, Hand Jobs, On the Couch, John’s Past, Angst with Happy Ending) – Sherlock and John are still trying to adjust to Sherlock's return from his hiatus when John's friend Bill Murray brings them a case. Someone is targeting the LGBTQA+ members of Bill's unit. John and Sherlock go undercover at the unit, but when they end up having to flirt to flush out the suspect, Sherlock realizes he's in over his head.

Spare Parts by Raina_at (E, 63,497 w., 10 Ch. || 24th Century / Futurism AU || Post TRF, Pre-TRF Relationship, Case Fic, Mutual Pining, Estrangement, Reconciliation, Science Fiction, Reunion, Nightmares, Angry John, Cybernetic John, Emotional Discussions / Heart to Heart, POV John, Scars, Past Drug Use, Forehead Touching, Emotional Lovemaking, Kissing, Apologies, Kidnapping, Rescue Mission, BAMF John, Bed Sharing, Top Sherlock) – Two years ago, Sherlock Holmes jumped off the roof of New London Hospital. Two months ago, he walked into John's clinic as if no time had passed at all. John hasn't seen him since. But then Sherlock knocks on John's door with a case he can't say no to, and while figuring out why the biggest manufacturer or synthetic limbs in the System is going after veterans, they also need to find out whether there's a way to fix what's broken between them. Part 1 of Realigning Gravity

Bakers with Benefits by Raina_at (E, 88,130 w., 14 Ch. || Great British Bake Off AU || Strangers to Lovers, Switchlock, Friends with Benefits, Mentions of Alcoholism / Past Drug Use, Banter, Flirting, Fluff, Light Angst, Semi-Public Sex, Past Sherlock/Victor, Mutual Pining, POV Sherlock, Obsessive Sherlock, John’s Bum) – Sherlock Holmes has a successful YouTube baking channel, but what he really wants is his own bakery. When an old friend sends him a call for the very first Great British Bake Off, he seizes the opportunity to finally win a sponsor for his bakery. Here's the plan: Win Bake Off, get the bakery, don't fall in love with the handsome Army doctor at the neighbouring station. Easy.

I welcome fics from y'all that have made y'all cry too! Hope these please you, Nonny!

Concept I always get too unmotivated to explore: Damian adopting a dog from a fight ring they busted because both of them were just following orders.

Summary:

“5 more minutes,” she bargains, wrapping her arms tighter around his shoulders. He laughs, nuzzling his nose against her hair. “That’s what you said 5 minutes ago.”

Any recommendations for sad Eruri fanfics? I’m in need of a good cry.

Sure thing! You probably won't be surprised to know that I already have a couple of rec lists:

Saddest soul-crushing Eruri fics

Aftermath of Shiganshina fics

I'm also going to add a few of my own more recent ones. I don't necessarily think of the first two as "sad fics" but people always tell me that they cry when they read them.

 Broken (Levi dies, Erwin lives.)

The Permanence of the Young Man (Giving Levi the closure he deserves.)

All the Time in the World (Gratuitously awful modern AU.)

Also also! Some of the saddest most heartbreaking pieces of writing I've ever read are actually chapters within longer fics.

Chapter 10 Hell's Kitchen & 11 Dirt Don't Hurt of Wild-Type by merkase (The bleach scene 😭)

Chapter 41 Requiem (November) - Part 0 of When in doubt, use violence by no_tengo_porque (The last chapter to inflict such emotional damage on me was Midnight Sun.)

Chapter 11 Quiet, 12 Liar, & 13 Time of The Blue by bowowline (First time I read this it just about killed me.)

Read em and weep Anon!

[life-as-a-gamergirl]

Me reading the plot of a sad fic starring one of my OTPs with major character death warning: that fic must be so sad, it's going to make me cry, not a good idea to read it

My brain: the angst, the feelingsss

Me: it also says hurt no comfort in the tags, it's going to make me feel so many things and I'll surely be in emotional overdose for the rest of the day

My brain: we should absolutely read the angst!!! Read it, read ittttt

Always me 5 minutes later, after reading an absolute masterpiece of a fic, sobbing and ugly-crying: I knew it was going to make me cry and feel things, I knew it!

My brain, also somehow crying and passing me a tissue: it was worth it tho.

[the-kittens-of-vol-tron]

Since that song Fourth of July by Sufjan Stevens was TORTURING me I wrote two angst fics :) 

One is Voltron, you can read that here! 

And the other is Attack on Titan, and you can read that one here! 

Please read the tags!

I’m just really in need of a good cry 😭 could you recommend some sad Drarry?

Hopefully your cry is cathartic, just like this list!

MCD Fics

If you’re still needing more sad fics than this, send another ask and I’ll see what else I can find.

❤️ Hugs and tissues with my love ❤️

PS I totally understand that reading a sad fic and crying can be cathartic and fiction is often a safe way to explore emotions you might not often allow yourself to feel (I put this list together after a death in my own family) but please know you are loved and worthy of feeling joy too. Take care of yourself!
