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."

How loveless the silence (how silent the loving) by ILovedHerAndSometimesSheLovedMeToo
Fandoms: Encanto (2021)

Tags
Summary
Selective mutism is a severe anxiety disorder where a person is unable to speak in certain social situations, such as with classmates at school or to relatives they do not see very often.
It usually starts during childhood and, if left untreated, can persist into adulthood.
A child or adult with selective mutism does not refuse or choose not to speak at certain times, they're literally unable to speak.
or
Mirabel doesn't really enjoy silence, never has, but when she's around her family, sometimes, she likes what happens when its broken even less.

Summary
“No one to bother today?” Sneeg says in lieu of a greeting, settling himself on the bar in front of Ranboo. His wings are opened up fully, furry little moth wings flapping once, twice, three times before resting snug against his back. His hands are poised on his waist, challenging.
Ranboo so badly wants to participate in this small bit of normal, to feel just a bit more Right. Arguing and messing around with Sneeg would make his mood so much better but -and this is a big but- their mouth won’t open. They try to push noise past them and nothing comes out. Their mouth feels glued together and their vocal chords feel shut off. All that comes from them is awful silence that sounds so out of character. It’s immediately devastating and they have to hastily school their body into not letting Sneeg notice.
or;
Ranboo wants to speak, but they can't.

Summary
The whole tableau was too weird: to have Billy Hargrove, the Trash King of Hawkins, crying on the checkered tile of his kitchen floor.
Steve hesitated, unsure if he should maybe try to offer some kind of comfort. But before he could follow through, Billy tipped suddenly forward, fingers curling into the fabric of Steve’s pant leg, the smudged stains on his cheeks landing to press somewhere around Steve’s knees.
“Look, man,” Steve tried, “you don’t look so good. Do you maybe need an ambulance or something?” Steve reached behind him for the phone but stopped when Billy finally spoke, voice a raw mix of wet gravel that sounded distressingly like the discordant high notes of fear. It’s unsettling, to hear Hargrove without mirth or menace; to hear him scared.
“Please,” Billy said, still too raw, like a wet wound, catching in his throat. “Please, Harrington-Steve.
I need you to kill me.”(Or: an “out damn spot” fic where post-flayed Billy has blood on his hands and Steve helps him get clean).

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. Instead- according to Max- a bunch of people who apparently knew all about the so-called Mindflayer swooped in and brought him to a private military base where they saved Billy’s life.
They called it a miracle.
Billy called it penance.
Or
After surviving the mindflayer Billy stops talking.

Overall I really enjoy this series and how they deal with trauma, coming into the magical world, and Harry/Rachel & Severus getting the love and family they deserve (aka Sev adopting & loving them). Its overall one of my fav fem Harry stories however i HATE what they do with Luna. I wont get into spoilers but thats really my main if not only complaint with this series.

Pang sighs.
He wants to, honestly. He’s been wanting to talk about it since the first time he woke up and found Mr. Pom with him instead of Pang. He’s been dying to open his mouth and tell Wave about his little talk with In. He wants to ask him if he’s ever felt forced by Pang to do anything besides cuddling or watching a cheesy movie instead of One Piece for the nth time."[or, au!based on amie's prompt:
after an unexpected accident, pang goes quiet and doesn't speak in fear of accidentally using his potential on others. the incident spooked him since it reminded him of director supot and the words he had spoken that haunted pang until that day. wave tries to coax him to talk while the others try to find the reason why the incident had happened.] -

Summary
It's a death that after eight long years brings them all back together.
It's been almost a decade since the self-proclaimed 'Bellgate Eight' have all seen one another. It just happens that the funeral of their shared past Literature teacher, Chan's life role model, is what brings them back together, for the better or the worse.
Alternatively; an exploration of justice and injustice, love and hate, fire and water, and perhaps most fittingly the novel they studied together in their senior year at the prestigious Bellgate Academy; crime and punishment.

Bookmarker's Notes
WOW THIS STORY WAS. SO GOOD!!??
HONESTLY, I REALLY DON'T LIKE THRILLER/MODERN-MYSTERY TYPES STORIES BUT I THOUGHT THIS ONE SOUNDED COOL ENOUGH TO BOTHER
ALL THE CHARACTERS WERE REALLY INTERESTING AND FLAWED, AND THE END RESULT DUE TO ALL THEIR PERSONAL PROBLEMS WAS SO INTERESTING, IT FEELS KIND OF INTENTIONALLY UNSATISFYING, BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL LEFT IN ANOTHER PERDICAMENT.
SEUNGMIN, MY BOY, YOU DESERVED BETTER. LOVE YOU!
YOU NEVER KNEW WHO WAS BEHIND IT, EVEN IF YOU FIGURED IT OUT BY THE REVEAL, AND THE CHOICE OF 'NOT MAKING A CHOICE' AT THE END REALLY SITS WITH YOU.
I HAD LOTS OF FUN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THIS EACH PERSON WENT THROUGH IN HIGHSCHOOL FOR THEM TO REACT THAT WAY TOWARDS THE TEACHER. CHAN BEING OBVIOUSLY EMOTIONALLY MANIPULATED TO THE POINT HE WAS s t i l l AFFECTED (In denial/jealous) UNTIL THE END, WHILE EVERYONE ELSE WAS MORE AWARE OF THE BAD THINGS THAT HAD BEEN DONE TO OR BY THEM FOR WHATEVER REASON.
MAN THAT TEACHER WAS AWFUL, KINDA HAPPY SHE DIED, KINDA ALSO NOT HAPPY THERE ISN'T A FULL 'ENDING' TO THIS CHAPTER OF THEIR LIVES, THEY'RE STILL GOING TO BE AFFECTED BY THE WORDS AND ACTIONS OF THE TEACHER, THE LADY AND THEIR PAST SELVES.Song I listened to:
Stay - The People's Theives
(I think this is like my...base music taste, I don't know what genre it is, but as a standard music beginning, i think this is my type. Kinda modern(synth?) and haunting, but has acoustic influences, also can't forget the punk/rock lyrics and chorus that ties it al together)
