the inciting incident of one of my stories is an accident that kills the MCs parents and hits him so hard that he gets magic powers. so far, I've been using a car crash as a stand in, but that's so fucking overdone and boring. what're some good other accidents?

Not plane crash. I love a good survival story, but his powers basically make him retarded while he's using them, so he can't be alone afterwards.

Yesterday I had a dream that my mom said that she'd write me the perfect book, I just had to tell her what I wanted to have in it.
so there I stood, sweating, torn between having the perfect book, and not wanting to admit my fetishes to my mother.
what's the correct move here? what would you do for a book, custom made for you.
