Poor characters trapped underground/under debris
Apparently I like reading about poor characters having epiphanies while being physically trapped, usually under fallen buildings or underground, often with wounds or protecting others. So yeah enjoy the collection and send suggestions ^.^

“grshhhh…. Obi-W--zzzzz--hear me?”
The noise was loud next to his ear. Obi-Wan groaned slightly. Who was bothering him now? He just wanted to rest. So tired…
“If you can--gszkkkrshh--aster, say somethin--hrshhhzzzk”
Ugh, that sounded like Anakin. Whatever the problem was, couldn’t he handle it on his own for once?
“...kshh--OBI-WAN!”

Summary
He Xuan starts coughing so loudly and so violently that for a second Xie Lian loses track of reality, and thinks it was He Xuan who got buried under what feels like half a mountain, and not Xie Lian. It’s only as he tries to get up, alarmed, that the pain shoots through his body and reminds him why that would be a terrible idea. A grunt of pain must escape him, because He Xuan pushes him down again. This time, he leaves his hand on his shoulder, a constant reminder to “stay the fuck down, dianxia, fucking idiot.”
“You sounded like you were in pain. Are you sure you weren’t hurt in the collapse?”
“It really is very galling to be fretted upon by a man who is bleeding half of his intestines unto the floor.”
(or: Xie Lian and He Xuan end up trapped in a cave together, and Xie Lian won't stop saying upsetting things. It's probably the concussion.)

Summary
“Drake,” Damian’s voice sounded small.
“Does it hurt?” Tim asked, making out Damian’s figure a little better with the tad bit of light coming through from the morning. That meant sun was rising.
“Worse,” Damian cracked a tad, “I can’t feel it anymore.”
Tim swallowed hard trying to remember what that could mean.A lot of it is bad and the possibilities of it being good aren’t well known enough to Tim to truly voice. Besides, doesn’t Damian have the knowledge of a medical student- he already knows what it could mean and that’s why he sounds so blatantly fearful. Nothing Tim can say will take that fear or risk away. Tim grabbed the small hand.

Summary
What used to be a wide open cave mouth, propped up with stalactites and mites, has collapsed, leaving a wall of uneven rock. Caving is always a danger, but they’d thought this cave was pretty safe for their study of bat behaviours. The colony living in it is stable, had been here for at least fifty years, and of course the cave has been here for millennia. Nothing going wrong for so long and then a bunch of rocks falling? It’s just his luck, really.

Bookmarker's Notes
Fantastic, so many brilliant writing strategies and so emotional without false dramas. Is not angst, is... living the situation eith the characters. Is colorful and so well written you feel you have read more of the setting.
« And he could, he could ask, but he won’t. He can’t ask for anything right now because they’ll try to give it to him, even after he’s gone, even if it hurts. He knows the power of a promise extracted by someone who is gone. He doesn’t remember his mother’s smell, her smile, but he remembers the way she told him he smiled like sunshine, that the world was better when he was smiling in it. He remembers the way she told him to hold things lightly in his heart, to not let them settle like stones and hold him down.
He can’t control all of the accidental commands he might have left inside of people, waiting to be set off like bombs triggered by the news of his passing. Animals learn all sorts of conditioned responses no one can predict. But he can control what he does right now. He can avoid laying any more stones on their chests.»
