Summary
“Just because you’re a bit dead inside doesn’t mean
you’re not the most real person I’ve met in years.”Your full name is David Elizabeth Strider. You are in the hospital for reasons unknown. Your clothes are shitty due to blood that used to be on it and holes that littered it. You can't talk and you don't know why. You still have no idea who Bro is, but you can’t call him and you can’t bring yourself to delete his number. Someone named John is picking you up, and you don’t know who he is either. You have a shitty katana, a wallet, your clothes, your phone, and your shades.
And that’s all you really have.

After all these years, that shit still haunts him and it only makes sense that maybe

it's all very fucked up, and both the brothers struggle with reaching a point of comfort in their relationship, struggle with the guilt and the growing.

Summary
Five years ago, you were chosen to participate in some sort of experiment. A test, you could say. Or, at least, that’s what they called it. A test. In all reality, though, you’re not quite sure what it really was. Your memories of the entire experience are blurred.
At best, you can say that you remember it being a game. It was an extremely peculiar game. When you entered it, you gained powers and abilities you’d never knew or even thought you could ever possess. You discovered a world of possibilities and met a plethora of fascinating people.

Summary
A songfic based on Paul Williams' song (the one this entire thing is named after). All the bold, italicised parts are song lyrics and, therefore, belong to and are intellectual property of Paul Williams. The idea behind it is deaf!Dave and mute!John. Bro is Dave's legal guardian and the owner of a modestly successful music store. John is an employee at said store, in charge of setting up displays and keeping things in relative order on the shelves.

Summary
John Egbert is a pianist at a local dive bar. He lives a modest, middle-class life, and enjoys hanging out with his friends. Since he was hired–about a month or so ago–he’s seen all kinds of people. One person in particular, though, happens to catch his attention. He’s a vagabond, a drifter; and, even so, he always manages to come to the bar for a nightly drink. He never speaks; most of his time is spend watching John, actually...
That person, unbeknownst to John, is Dave Strider.
