Summary
So basically, I watched Dead Poets Society the other night and am currently devastated, so I tried to read fanfics where Neil didn't pass but didn't find one with the plot I wanted to get, and then I concluded that if I have such a clear vision of a fanfic, then I should write it myself, so here I go!
p.s.- after I'm done with the main storyline, I might add some fluffy one-shots in chronological order once in a while! (requests are always open!)
***disclamers!***
*I do not own any rights to the characters or the story; it is based on the movie "Dead Poets Society" and all credit for the setting and characters goes to its original creators!
* big sh/suicide/mental health/depression trigger- it's a dps fanfic after all...
*This is an anderperry story!
*I will use the word "queer" in the fanfic because it's more time accurate, hope no one is offended, and if you are/ if something is inaccurate, feel free to tell me, and sorry in advance!
*hope you enjoy, it's my first fanfic :) -
You Were Good, You Were Really Good by leofromsomewhere

Summary
“Son. You were…good.” The word good seemed foreign to his tongue, and distasteful, but his tone sounded less venomous than Neil had expected. Instead, he sounded tired. Resigned, almost, like he was done fighting. “You were really good.”
In which Thomas Perry learns to let go, and Neil Perry lives happily ever after.
Seeing Neil in his play, his passion and his talent, changes Mr. Perry's mind. This is the conversation they have after the show.

Summary
It feels monumental somehow, like the first drop of rain after years of drought, like breathing air after almost drowning. His whole life was spent finding a meaning that always seemed to elude him, but now he looks into Neil's eyes and thinks: Eureka.
or;
A collection of insignificant moments leading up to something great.

Summary
It had been anonymously published. The poem. He'd made sure of it, insisted even. Made it clear that he wouldn't let them publish it at all if they didn't. Had stayed firm, even when they complained and reminded him of how much money his name alone generated after so many years. When they finally relented and eventually asked him why?
He simply said; "The ones I wrote it for will know it's theirs in a heartbeat. All I need to is share it."

Summary
"Pulse now under control, and once more in the headspace to feel sure of himself, Todd lets his eyes skim over the man at the front of the theater. The dim house lights bathe his features gently, highlighting his sharp cheekbones and bright smile when he turns to speak to the director, who's sitting beside him. Todd hums, thinking, very privately, that the man had a nice profile, handsome and strong. His smile seems self assured and warm, cutting through the darkness blanketing the theater and making Todd pause for an embarrassingly long moment.
'He wouldn’t even need me if he were on stage,' Todd thought, 'he would light up all on his own.'"A fic in which Todd, now head of the lights crew at a small New York City theater, finds himself falling head over heels just days before opening night.

Summary
A Todd le gustaba observar.
Sus manos solo se sentían verdaderamente suyas cuando estaban entrelazadas para rezar, con las rodillas clavadas en el piso y el pelo sobre la cara.
Ultimamente habia estado observando la espalda de su compañero Neil más de lo que le gustaría confesar, y las rodillas le dolían cada vez más. -

Freefalling For You by drpeppercreamsoda
Fandoms: Dead Poets Society (1989), Spider-Man - All Media Types

Summary
Neil Perry never asked to be Spider-Man.
He just wanted to skateboard, avoid disappointing his father, and maybe star in A Midsummer Night's Dream again. Instead, he’s stuck at a science camp in 1996 Manhattan, pretending to care about Oscorp’s latest biotech marvels—until a spider bite changes everything.
Now there’s danger rising at Welton Academy, a secret poetry club in the making, and Todd Anderson—his soft-spoken new roommate, who sees right through him. With the city changing and power thrumming beneath his skin, Neil has to decide what kind of legacy he wants to leave behind: one of hiding, or one of heroism.

Anderperry: A love for the Ages by anderperrylover098 (Anderperrylover098)

Summary
Accidentally abandoned my old work so restarting it
It started with a glance across the room, their room, or rather the room they were forced to share for the upcoming year. The look of uncertainty, something hidden underneath, never addressed. Neither commented on the way their eyes trailed down to each other's lips for just a moment, nor on their stuttered introduction, the way their hands shook. The two boys didn’t know how little time they would have together, how quickly love and adoration can transform into loss and grief, maybe if they did things would have been different.
Or -
Todd Anderson and Neil Perry realise that love can’t change fate spelt in the stars, no matter how often they try to rewrite it.
