Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
She's fourteen!
That makes it so much worse. Ewwwwwwww. This is her opinion or idea of humor at fourteen?

And sometimes you get comments from strangers that reassure you about putting stuff out there you weren't confident about...it's a crapshoot.

Thrive to spite them
Does anyone know of a vid made to Perfect Circle's Gravity?
Every time I hear the song I swear I've seen a vid to it but I draw a blank on any details.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yeah, I think it's Smallville maybe? I'm 90% sure it's from a Vividcon.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Halfamoon has started up over on LJ. For the next two weeks, there will be fics, fanart, vids, recs, meta, etc. all focused on female characters. Very much worth checking out, IMO.

Another great Inception fanartist. Great angles and lighting and colouring.
Inception gets all the great artists.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
A thought niggling at the back of my head has been why AU's are so appealing to me where they are an automatic turn-off to others.
All I can think of is for me, they allow play and fresh story potential with characters I love without confusing canon. And all I can think about the dislike is that there is no canon. I love the characters, but sometimes I like to shake free of all the shit they're tied to, some of it poorly thought out. And I like to not get my fanon too confused with the canon, and AU's are a big help in that department. Also, AU's are an interesting place for the themes of canon to take place in a completely foreign setting, and sometimes, when done right, that's an interesting exercise and sometimes illuminating for the oringal source.

I rarely, rarely like AUs (reasons to follow), but there are a few I adore, and what you describe there is exactly why I like the ones I like.
For most of the series I follow, the world-building is as important to me as the characters, so removing that aspect of a source can easily kill the appeal. With something like Avatar: the Last Airbender, the world and the different cultures are such an integral part of why I enjoy the series that something like a high school or band AU does not appeal. On the other hand, I could see Supernatural translating into, say, a Revolutionary War AU in a way I would find appealing.
