Sad Fic
I hate angsty fics...I really do.
I know better than to read them because I get easily upset, but read them I do. I'm always so sorry I did... but then some of the most emotionally distressing stories have contained some of the best writing I have ever read...so, the unhappy circle will continue.
In my SVU travels I found Proximity, a collaboration written by Mousie962 and MaddyM. It broke me! I was broken for like, four days after finishing it (and the weekend I read it I was a total teary mess). I finally moved onto happier things, but earlier today I was removing extra white space from an offline copy of Proximity to put on my e-book reader, and just catching glimpses of the first words in the lines was enough to make my throat tighten a couple of times.
