Never leave me

There's this very interesting discussion over at garlandgraves' journal about warnings in fic. Specifically, character death warnings. She quotes a review of a Snarry classic - the reviewer is extremely annoyed because there was no death warning. The discussion is interesting by itself, but what caught my eye was this bit from the review:"But I whole-heartedly disagree with death-fics and the entire premise of sad, "people move on" endings." It's very late, and my brain isn't working, but what exactly does the OP mean by 'disagree'? That fanfiction (fiction) *shouldn't* have death in it, *shouldn't* deal with the aftermath of death and life moving on? I understand not wanting to read about death - we all want different things out of what we read. But the suggestion that fiction should not deal with death *at all*? *boggles*

Shiny fic
