Summary
“You would tell me if you were suicidal, right, Bubbie? Promise me you would never kill yourself. Promise me! Right now, young man!”
Kyle rolls his eyes and sighs into the phone. “Yes, Ma. I would tell you if I was suicidal. Which I’m not, for the record.”
Or
Following the untimely death of an old friend, Stan, Kyle, Kenny, and Cartman do their best to cope. Horribly.

Bookmark Notes:
South Park fics are not my usual scene unless they offer something very unique or interesting (bonus points if there's a hint of K2 or Cryle....I'M SORRY OK). Having said that, this fic offers so, so much in the way of characters, relationships, and the way that the reader's expectations are played with. A character has died and the event is treated with equal parts sincerity and equal parts cynical realism. The main four boys are searching for closure in their own ways and the author shows such a level of understanding in how each character might do so. The dialogue feels plucked out of an episode of the show and the town's reaction to everything feels very grounded and gossipy—the kind of "oh dear, their poor parents. oh well, moving on" that one might expect to see in a small, close knit community.
It IS a South Park story so one expects to find canon-typical vulgarity in both language and action, but I find myself glued to the words, wondering where the author intends to take us! How, in the wake of such a tragedy, are our main character's changed? How are they made worse? Made better?
I think what surprised me the most was the earnest in which the catalyst event is treated. South Park very rarely treats its dark subject matter with the care it deserves (look, it DOES happen from time to time, but only when Trey and Matt are especially moved) so to come across a fic that has the cast feel so in-character while still dealing with the situation with such care—this one will be a goodie, I can tell.
