Summary
I found that the
sadness was growing,
and it seemed to come out
over silly little things
like the rain.
Or burnt toast
at seven in the morning.
And even missed calls,
on sunny warm days,
and those things
summoned the monster
that had made its home
in my soul.(AU Where the gang is in a mental hosptial and Harry thinks that Louis may be the sunshine to pull him out of the clouds.)

Summary
"Armin never thought anything interesting would happen in his life. He felt he lived in a liminal state: never without acquaintances but never with good friends; never consumed by any emotion in particular except perhaps boredom; he didn’t dream but he had his future planned out until the age of 21; and above all, nothing interesting ever happened to him. Every week in the life of Armin Arlert had been almost the same for as far back as he could remember, his weekends fading into a mist of markets, homework and rented DVDs, interspersed with house parties attended by the same group of people, where nothing happened and nobody remembered.
At least, that was the case up until the point where Mikasa leaned forward and whispered that proposal that would turn his life on its head."

Summary
How stupid was it that a song that freaked him out so badly was still catchy enough that his brain decided to just play it on random repeat? He held it together for long enough to set the washing machine, to press start, to stumble upstairs to his bed, to lie down.
For weeks and weeks after Eddie had been shot, Buck kept dreaming of different endings to the scene. Most of them involving Eddie just dying right there on the tarmac, just out of Buck’s reach. Buck trying to hold him together in the back of the engine even though Eddie was already gone. Buck begging him to stay, to stay, to hold on, please hold on, and Eddie letting go.
Eddie's left the 118 and Buck is definitely coping with that.

But then by some sick twist of fate, Billy didn’t die. Getting stabbed all over by some giant mind-controlling monster didn’t do him in.

They called it a miracle.
Billy called it penance.
Or
After surviving the mindflayer Billy stops talking.

"You'll change your mind one day," says the innkeep. "The road can't love you back."
What a strange way to flatten something so beautiful, Jaskier thinks. What a small way to love.
Or: When Jaskier is hit with a curse that prevents him from having sex, he's lucky that the first person he meets is a Witcher. It's even luckier that Jaskier is used to hitting the road, because Geralt isn't waiting up.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/27084787/chapters/66133963?page=20&show_comments=true&view_full_work=false#commentsThe unobtrusive and inoffensive ways that Jaskier asked for clarification multiple times, had me so jealous. He made it look so simple!
Geralt really did wait for him! HCav could never
Jaskier wants very much to fold himself into Geralt's arms. He settles, instead, for what he had before — a responsible greed. There are worse ways to be dissatisfied
Me: GPOY. So relatable. Ever since I identified how selfish and hedonistic I am naturally, it's been so hard to figure out how much I can reasonably takeI remember being surprised when they got past their first misunderstanding. I'm used to seeing characters part ways after a MU like that, or the author fixing the MU and immediately ending the fic. It's awkward, but they're trying to stay together, but they didn't "solve" the reason they had the MU. It's almost as good as gremble

It didn’t happen as often now as it did when he was a boy, but when it did it was all consuming. It had always felt a little like how he imagined drowning, though it first happened long before he had any actual close brushes with drowning at all.
