If I get a good enough response I'll make a story out of this. If not, then this is nothing more than a somber one-shot song parody of Garth Brooks' The Beaches of Cheyenne.
If the story happens, here is the plot:
Beast Boy took matters into his own hands, for reasons known only to himself, and died for it. Raven lost it when she found out and is something akin to dead herself. How does one move on from something like this? Is it even possible? This is a tale of finding the courage to come to terms with impossibly painful circumstances set against the backdrop of why it happened in the first place.
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the "brilliant" wordplay. The song is Garth's and the Teen Titans are DC's.

Nevermore Ever Again
Prologue: The
Beaches of Jump City
They
packed up all his junk
And
shipped his purple & black jumpsuit to the Doom Patrol
And
by the way the Tower looked
Rae
must have took it bad
Titans
East come on Monday
To
help fix the doors and patch the walls
Starfire
said Raven just went crazy
The
night she got the call
Beast
Boy was up in Slade's Hideout
Engaged
in a battle he couldn't win
He
promised her he'd save the day
Well
it turned out that he lied
And
their fight that they'd been fightin'
From
that island in the bay
Died
right there with him somewhere in Jump City
Starfire
said Raven just went crazy
Screamin'
out Gar's name
She
ran out into the bay
And
to this day Cyborg claims
That
if you go down by the water
You'll
see her footprints in the sand
'Cause
every night she walks the beaches of Jump City
The
Titans never found her body
Just
Raven's diary by her bed
It
told about the fight they had
And
those last words that she had said
When
BB told her he was goin'
For
justice and revenge
Rae
said then I don't give a damn
If
you don't make it back alive from Jump City
Starfire
says Raven just went crazy
Screamin'
out Gar's name
She
ran out into the bay
And
to this day Cyborg claims
That
you can go down by the water
And
see her footprints in the sand
'Cause
every night Raven walks the beaches of Jump City
Nobody
can explain it
But
the rest of the Titans know she's still alive
Robin
even claims to have seen her
On
the shoreline late at night
Mourning
the only way she knows
So
if you go down by the water
You'll
see her footprints in the sand
'Cause
every night Raven walks the beaches of Jump city
Every night Raven walks the beaches of Jump City
