The Space Between Us (Henry N2N X You) by WishIWereHere74
Fandoms: Next to Normal - Kitt/Yorkey

Summary
Henry’s tiny studio apartment was always a safe haven for you two to enjoy each other’s presence: dim lights, incense smoke, jazz records spinning low in the background. Tonight, it was more than just a place to hide from the world — it was a place where insecurities were laid bare, where laughter and music blurred into intimate touch and whispered confessions.
Henry was nervous about his changing body, but you only saw someone you love — someone you want in every form. Between the haze of smoke, candy, and the warmth of his soft spots under your hand, the two of you found something new: intimacy that’s soft, vulnerable, and devastatingly real.——————————————————
“Henry, you know I love you, right?”“Yeah, I just— I don’t want you to love me out of obligation, y’know? Like, I want you to be attracted to me.”
“I don’t just ‘not mind,’ Henry. I want you. All of you.”

Summary
God, she really was going insane. Either she was accidentally high off her ass, or she was talking to her brother’s literal ghost. She felt too coherent for the former to be true.
She inhaled sharply. “How?” was all she was able to say.
Her brother shrugged and kicked a pencil across the floor. “You tell me.”
Natalie lowered her textbook. “You’re- I mean, aren’t you dead?”
He raised his hands like this was all obvious. “As a doornail.”
Or; On Natalie's seventeenth birthday, she starts seeing strange things

Summary
Natalie knew her parents wouldn't care much if she failed a subject since she could get back on her feet and prove their thoughts wrong. Natalie knew everyone believed in her. But why couldn't she? Why was it so difficult for her to be able to accept that she practically flunked the test horribly? A subject she was barely educated on, a subject every one of her friends knew she failed at, *the* subject that held such low grades that stood out to everyone when shown report cards?
Natalie didn't know what to expect.
OR i project onto natalie.

Summary
Gabe stood in the kitchen, reading through the cereal box that his mom gave him, why did she even give him the box anyways? There were pancakes in front of him that his mom made as well. Maybe he should get Diana some better memories. He looked up from the box to stare at the pancakes, he figured the pancakes were going to get soggy from the syrup soon so he realised he should head to go wake up Natalie.
“Hey! Natalie! Wake up!” Gabe called out, entering Natalie’s room before being met with the sight of her and Henry hugging each other in their sleep.
