    Summary

    When a grief-stricken Todd Anderson moves to New York City, he plans on keeping his head down. He’s in no state to do much more than write, study for grad school, pick up a part-time job, read poetry, stay numb, and carry on.

    That plan begins to unravel the night he stumbles into a bar called The Dead Poets Society, a dim, welcoming place that hosts open-mic nights, poetry slams, and live music.

    It’s owner, Neil Perry, kind, caring, charismatic, carrying deep scars of his own, offers Todd a job. Slowly, Neil and his eccentric circle of friends begin to draw Todd out of his shell in a way that once felt impossible.

    Friendships, art, and a kind of care Todd has never quite known how to ask for begin to soften the edges of his broken heart, and for the first time, he allows himself to imagine a future he never thought he’d be permitted to have.

    But grief has teeth, and it isn’t quite finished with him yet.

    Summary

    After causing a tragedy that claims three lives, Todd discovers he possesses uncontrollable powers.

    Consumed by guilt, he is sent to the mysterious Welton Academy, a school reserved for those gifted with magic.

    There, he joins a tight-knit group of students who call themselves the Poets. As he struggles to master his abilities, a growing threat looms over the school. Strange incidents, buried secrets, unseen tensions… Something is stirring in the shadows.

    Caught between friendship and betrayal, hatred and love, Todd and the Poets must uncover the truth and fight to protect Welton. Because at Welton Academy, every power comes at a price… and some are willing to make others pay it.

    Summary

    After Neil Perry’s death, Todd Anderson learns that grief follows.

    “—Fucking idiots—”

    He doesn’t remember deciding to move.
    Only the sound of laughter, Neil’s name said wrong,
    and his fist connecting before his fear could stop it.

    Welton does not soften after tragedy. It sharpens. Todd’s silence becomes an invitation, his stammer a spectacle, his closeness to Neil a weapon others use long after Neil is gone. He learns how to endure, how to walk away, how to swallow words, how to disappear just enough to be able to control himself, to not snap.

    Until one day, he doesn’t.

    Summary

    “I don’t think this one should drink anymore.” Charlie said sombrely, easing Neil safely onto the sofa next to Todd, before perching wobblily onto the arm rest. Now they were closer, Todd could smell the almost fuel-like fumes of liquor rolling off them, scenting their clothes and rapid, puffing breaths. Todd wondered how far they’d walked; cabs were few and far between in their part of town, but it was a Saturday, and still fairly early, so it shouldn’t have been that unlikely. “He’s already done enough stupid things tonight.”

    “Stupi-what did you guys do?” Todd’s eyes widened and he sat up, almost spilling his coffee in surprise. They’d only been gone four hours! What misadventures could be crafted in less than a quarter of a day? Neil didn’t seem to share his concern, and was in fact lightly sniggering, leaning back into the sofa cushions and lolling his head back. Todd thought he saw a wince flash across his face, and he cupped a hand to his ribs almost protectively.

    Neil acts impulsively when drunk, Todd worries about his boys, and Charlie's just happy to be here.

    Summary

    Neil Perry was six years old the first time he felt the sting of his father’s cruel words seep like poison into his skin. In a local supermarket in the small town of Wilmington, Vermont that the Perrys called home, the neatly stacked apples on the quaint wooden display were fresh and crisp.
    “Rose, what are you doing still holding his hand in public like that? He’s in the first grade now, he ought to start to become more independent. Boys don’t hold their mother’s hands at this age,” he sneered.

    ☆☽☆

    Todd Anderson knew all about shame. If there was one feeling that always returned to him like home, year after year as he got older, it was shame. Shame for feeling different. Shame for hardly being able to get a sentence out without stuttering. Shame for being inferior, inferior to Jeffrey.

    A mostly canon-compliant DPS story, following the major events of the movie, but focusing more on the inner thoughts of characters (mostly Neil and Todd). Focuses on Neil and Todd's relationship, Todd's issues with anxiety, Neil's issues with depression and not being able to follow his own path.

    Neil Perry lives.
    Thomas hadn't even called emergency services but Ms. Perry could not watch her son die in her husband's office. The doctors did all they could and for more than two weeks they said there was little hope.
    Thomas Perry took this as his chance to show everyone how he would've raised his son, and publicizes that his son, Neil Perry, has died.
    For this, he gets arrested, and while in custody a fight erupts in which he dies.

    Or: Neil lives, his dad dies because we hate Thomas Perry

    Summary

    “Dare.” Charlie exclaimed, a grin spreading across his face.

    “I dare you to spend seven minutes in heaven together with…” Neil thought for a second, eyes scanning around the room before they landed on his target. A smile grew on his face, “Cameron.”

    Charlie blinked. There was no way he had just heard Neil correctly. “Cameron?” He questioned, his brows furrowing together in confusion.

    “Me?” Cameron had said at the same time. He had his own expression of shock on his face, brows furrowed together and lips slightly parted.

    or

    The poets are playing a game of truth or dare and Charlie and Cameron are dared to spend 7 minutes in heaven together. Charlie realizes something.

    Summary

    “They can’t know. No one can ever know.”

    Just two boys battling their inner demons, eventually finding solace in one another.

    A story of the pressure of expectation, of friendships deeper than blood, and of the kind of love that saves you… just slowly.

    A slow-burn fix-it fic, full of introspection and multiple POVs from friends and foe alike.

    Mostly canon-compliant… until it isn’t of course.

     

    Title from Walt Whitman’s “To You”.

    Summary

    In the past four months, androids were being pulled off the streets, disappearing off the face of the planet and never to be seen again.

    There’s been no trail to follow. They’re not even certain if all these missing cases are related, but the amount of androids disappearing as of recent times is most certainly increasing at an exponential rate.

    If these cases really are all related, the perpetrator has yet to slip up. The lack of any leads was frustrating, to say the least.

    But then Connor had received a tip.

    “Now, RK800. We’ve heard quite a lot about you.”

    “...Is that so?” Connor stares at the probes hidden within the opening hole of the taser unflinchingly, trying to shake away the phantom burning sensation that threatens to sweep him over his feet. He needs to find a way to get a hold of that taser.

    “Yes. It’s been brought to my attention that you have a very unique skill set that could be of use to us.” The taser is unwavering in the man's grip, and he almost appears bored. “Why don’t you enter stasis mode? I see you’re losing thirium. We can help you replenish if you come with us quietly.”

It's months more before he realizes how hard it is to live with system damage that just gets worse, and worse, until he can barely work, or smile, or think-

    But it's fine. He doesn't need to ask New Jericho for a replacement part. Really.

    He's fine.
