Grief & Mourningby florelunae · Sunburn
Mari did not kill herself. Sunny says it out loud in a hospital room with one eye bandaged and his voice breaking for the first time in four years. The truth does not heal anyone.

A Spark In The Quiet
by ARC_Strife · Sunburn
Basil has never been a big fan of fireworks; too loud, too bright. So Sunny finds somewhere away from the spectacle. Somewhere quieter, with just the two of them. A small clearing in the forest, a simple picnic, and a night neither will forget.

Ashen Blooms
by ARC_Strife · Sunburn
Cynical and jaded, Sunny lives in a cramped-ass apartment where even the most resilient of weeds would die. He might as well be one of them... Cheap. Broken. Worthless.

Sunny in Grief & Mourning Fanfiction
Sunny — Hikikomori teenager who built the dream world of Headspace to bury the truth of his sister Mari's death, with his alter ego Omori standing guard over the secret. Three days before moving away, the truth starts leaking through.
Grief & Mourning — Stories that sit with loss: characters mourning a death canon rushed past, or grieving losses that aren't deaths at all — homes, futures, versions of themselves. Grief fic ranges from raw immediate aftermath to the strange long tail of missing someone for years.
Canon kills characters and moves on; fandom holds funerals. Readers return to grief fic because it treats mourning as a story worth telling rather than a scene to survive. Sunny's (also known as Omori, Sunny Suzuki) role in OMORI makes them a natural fit for grief & mourning storylines, which is why this combination is one of the most popular in OMORI fanfiction.
