Sad but great stories i suppose

Maybe they have a sad beginning, maybe they had a sad ending, maybe they had a sad middle point, or maybe it just has the one scene that made the reader cry.
Either way, these are sad, but also amazing, wonderful things.

Summary
He was… f a l l i n g.
In one moment,
Midoriya IzukuMikumo had been fighting alongside Kacchan and the blond’s friends in the streets in front of Tatooin Station. He had agreed to leave his new home on the beach behind and go with them to join the resistance against Lord All For One.In the next, Mikumo was blinking stars from his eyes as people milled around in the streets in front of Tatooin Station. He had miscalculated and was now far from any home he had known. Far from his own time, as he would soon find out.
Shooting stars are only just the beginning, a new start. Brilliant streaks in the sky before burning up into stardust. He’s already witnessed many. Maybe this time will be kinder?
Well… he could only wish upon a star.

Summary
“He found himself wondering if anyone would notice before the spell was up. It seemed unlikely; there were often stretches where contact was limited between him and his family. Normally, it was not born from necessity but rather strife. And perhaps strife would bleed from this.
He hoped not.”
When a confrontation with a powerful magic user goes awry, Damian is cursed, robbing him of his voice. Or, communicate without a fresh bruise appearing, that is.
What begins as an inconvenience quickly spirals into something far worse, as he finds himself struggling with the mounting realization: no one has noticed. As his silence deepens, so do the rifts with his family. He’s not helped by the many more sinister theories the people around him assume because of his new temperament.
One thing is certain: he really, really hates magic.

Summary
“Where am I?”
Soft taps and murmurs were cut short, the first Peridot freezing mid-sentence with one hand raised to her screen. “Apologies, Your Radiance, I had not realised you have already recovered your mental capacities. You are at White Diamond’s personal research facility,” she rushed to say with a salute, a Diamond salute.
Did I accidentally possess someone again? he thought, looking down at himself, and frowned. It was him, down to his body and clothes. Except, he then belatedly realised: it was pink, everything, his shirt, jeans, sandals—even his skin was a light pink, more subtle in its opalescence.
“Why do I look like this?”
“It appears your form is mimicking the orga—“
“Why am I pink?”
“Oh.” Finally, the Peridot resumed her work, once more typing something on her screen. “Despite being awake, the subject still appears to be confused."[In which I wrote my own version of the trial]

Summary
A crack fic in which good end (and mildly healthy!) Sunny is isekai’d into a world where Mari is still alive. Apologies in advance for horrid writing.
This will be taking place in England instead of the US (just because I thought it would be fun). As such, prepare for spelling shenanigans such as “colour”, “centre”, etc.

Summary
Steven was sure that he had gone to sleep in his bed at home. Then why did he wake up in someone else's house in someone else's bed? And who is this boy who looks exactly like Steven a couple of years ago?
OR
Steven fell asleep in his own time and woke up several years in the past right after he almost had a car accident with his father. The younger version of him is excited, Pearl is worried, Garnet is not, and Amethyst is acting like Amethyst. While the adult Steven has no idea how to get home before his diamond powers begin to spiral out of control again.
