Passerine

A Sleepy Bois base fanfic made by blujamas found on Archive Our Own that’ll break your tiny tiny heart. A story about a King, a Prince, and a soldier. A story about immortality and the effects of being a god. It’s worth the read even if you don’t know much of the context. Also influenced by the song Passerine by The Oh Hello’s. This story just might make you love it forever.
“I’m not done yet!” Tommy said, and produced one more flower—a single yellow rose. “This one’s my favorite,” he added as he gently tucked the flower behind Technoblade’s ear, the one that had the emerald earring that Wilbur had found so familiar, “because it means friendship.”

Woah that’s a quote from Passerine!

Passerine

An SBI fan fiction that will break your heart. Available on ao3 (and wattpad I suppose), it is essentially an analysis of grief, the way it affects people and how it is overcome, or more accurately, embraced.

At 76 000 words you can finish it in less than 5 hours, if not less than 3, but you will feel echoes of pain through your entire being for up to 70 years after reading. Upon rereading, the foreshadowing can and will tear your soul to pieces.

Also could be a song by The Oh Hellos, a Christian music group whose song the fanfic takes the name and chapter names from. True kids raised in church/cults will recognise the obvious references to the bible, (pushing the spear into your side again and again), but without context it's just a nice song about belonging and guilt and grief.
Person 1: "There was a terrible, terrible silence—the kind of silence that always came before something devastating. The calm before the storm. Tommy had always hated silences. It gave his mind too many spaces to fill with darkness. So he brought light, instead. Noise and laughter and jokes and jibes, anything to keep the quiet at bay."

Person 2: "STOP JUST SENDING PASSERINE QUOTES IN THE GROUP CHAT YOU'LL MAKE ME CRY"

Person 1: "LMAOOO"
