Re: Ever read a fic you really enjoyed and yet wished you hadn't ever encountered?

There was a very old Glee fic, written I think during the back nine of the first season. It involved a very strange "apocalypse" where people just started...disappearing, like one day they'd be there and then the next they wouldn't. Some disappeared right in front of others. And it was a worldwide "plague".

It also revolved around Kurt's feelings for Finn, and Finn sort of returning them but being unable to accept that he returns them all the same, and it was wrenching. It came down to the two of them (the rest of the city, and, implied, the rest of the world) was empty, and I'm really not sure I'll ever shake the feeling of absolute desolation the author wrote into it. It was beautiful, but gutting.

It didn't help that it ended badly. Kurt disappeared before anything could get sorted out between them, and the very last part was Finn rolling over and going to sleep.

I really don't cry at fic (only one other has managed it in my long fic-reading career), but oh god, I was a mess. I still get upset when I think about it. But god, was it beautifully written.

Slightly off-topic, but I wonder if "people disappear apocalypse" is a trend that started from some original thing. I read at least two Harry Potter fics with that plot years and years ago.

IDK but I read an SPN one years and years ago that still haunts me.

Everybody disappears but Sam and Dean and they don't know why, and it's just so horrible to contemplate living in an entirely barren world (to me). And unless they both die at the same time, one of them will be the last person on earth. It was so well written but so unsettling.

I think it must have been a trend some time ago.

I read that one too! I remember thinking the premise was fascinating but completely terrifying.

*nods nods*

And it was an early fic too so it was before all the heaven and hell mytharc stuff.

Which tbh was part of what I liked about it. SPN was never as interesting to me after heaven and hell got involved.

But anyway, thanks for linking it! Def going to read it again! (And probably cry, and have lots of conflicting emotions.)

I agree with you except for season five. I adored season five and Cas's appearance and all that jazz; it went downhill from there for me. But yes, I love that the apocalypse isn't tied to anything. They just wake up, if I remember right, and everybody's gone. I'm going to re-read too.

I would not react as well as they did in that situation. Guess that's what fiction is for, though!

God that sounds depressing.
