History CerebusSyndrome / Fanfic

Examples of fanfiction [[CerebusSyndrome getting progressively more serious.]]

----
* [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9644493/1/Zenith-Darkness-Reverie ''Zenith, Darkness, Reverie'']], a Death Note fanfiction, commences with a rock-climbing, Redditing nightcore fan locating a Death Note. It's destined to become a relatively light, humorous fanfic, of course. By chapter five (or approximately there), the protagonist is soliloquizing about obliterating humanity. By chapter fourteen, she has [[spoiler: committed over one thousand murders.]]
* ''Fanfic/TheChildOfLove'': This story starts off as a dramatic but mostly romantic tale with bits of lighthearted comedy. In the chapter 4 the story begins turning darker when it is revealed [[spoiler:Gendo has designs upon Asuka and her baby.]] From that point the dramatic, dark elements increase and overtook the comedic ones.
* ''Fanfic/TheLionKingAdventures'' starts off as a cute, comedic adventure series featuring Simba and Nala starting a romance as cubs. However, it evolves into a dark, gritty drama, [[spoiler: rife with character deaths and tragedy.]]
* While the story was never [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/81159/1/racer-and-the-geek/predawn all that lighthearted]] to begin with, ''FanFic/RacerAndTheGeek'' has definitely [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/81159/racer-and-the-geek been going this way,]] starting from about chapter 3 with the introduction of gunponies, but with some fairly meaningful {{foreshadowing}} showing up in [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/81159/2/racer-and-the-geek/midday chapter 2.]] Considering [[http://www.fimfiction.net/user/kalash93 who the author is,]] this is not unexpected.
* Fanfic/{{Pedestal}} started out as a lighthearted fic about the narrator's Franchise/{{Pokemon}} journey. Halfway though, things suddenly get [[DarkerAndEdgier much, much worse.]]
* The ''FanFic/TamersForeverSeries'': the author says it best:
--> ''"When 'Tamers Forever' was originally conceived, it was supposed to be a ten-story series mainly concerning a Takato/Rika relationship. It was supposed to be more of a romantic comedy, however, I realized my strong point wasn't comedy, as I unconsciously deepened and filled the plot with questions and secrets."''
** To give the man due credit, though, he never completely abandons the humour; in fact, several scenes from later books are absolutely ''hilarious''
** The drama is taken UpToEleven during ''Silent Sorrow''
* FanFic/NineKnackeredSouls started as the [[Machinima/RedVsBlue RvB cast]] thrown into the wonderful SugarBowl [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic world of ponies]], and trying and failing to fit in. [[spoiler: Then Maine appears....]]
* In ''[[{{Fanfic/AceCombatEquestriaChronicles}} Ace Combat: The Equestrian War]]'', despite things going well for the ponies for majority of the war, the griffins always find a way to get them on the edge. Then [[TearJerker chapter 15]] comes.
* ''FanFic/SixDaysTheAnimorphsWereIdiots'' begins as the crackiest of CrackFic, with silly events happening and no real plot to speak of. Marco takes acid and hallucinates the brightly colored clouds on the book covers, Vissers 1 and 3 go on a date, Cassie forms a whale-worshipping cult. But the cast ends up hijacking a Yeerk spacecraft and travel to the Andalite homeworld, and the plot takes a turn for something that would not be out of place in the original book series. The sequel/prequel fanfic, ''[[http://ifi-fics.blogspot.com/2012/05/attack-prolouge.html The Other Attack]]'' begins with roughly the same level of serious that the first fanfic ended with.
* ''FanFic/ClashOfTheElements'' Part 1 starts out with a little bit of humor and some light-heartedness you'd come to expect from a Mario game, but as time goes on and more details get revealed, everything starts becoming rather grim, culminating in the final battle [[spoiler: where everything pretty much goes to hell]] and even when things are resolved it is a rather Bittersweet conclusion...
* ''Fanfic/CalvinAndHobbesTheSeries'' is mostly comedy, but [[DownplayedTrope it gets a fair amount more adventurous with each passing season.]] The {{Season Finale}}s are quite dramatic, however.
** Taken UpToEleven in the SeriesFinale, ''Black Rain'', with an [[spoiler:open that could pass for a slasher film]], and [[spoiler: Dr. Thunderstorm and Shadow possibly ''die'' at the end]]. Oh, and [[spoiler: Slender Man appears. And he's a good guy]].
* ''Fanfic/GodSaveTheEsteem'' begins by exploring the quirks of having {{Daria}} be raised by punks instead of yuppies. By the end, her father has nearly died, Daria has nearly been killed, a friend is in psychiatric treatment, [[spoiler:the school has been shut down for good thanks to a prank that Daria pulled on the cheerleaders,]] and martial law is declared, culminating in an epic battle of punks vs. police (with the National Guard preparing to move in).
* ''FanFic/TheIntercontinentalUnionOfDisgustingCharacters'' is a series about exploiting the loopholes in the 1st Edition [[TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons AD&D]] rules. But by the middle of ''The Sick Kids'', well... just try reading the final moments of Sick Sword's life without getting a lump in your throat. (Or the funeral for [[spoiler:Ringman]] in ''The Intercontinental Proliferation of Disgusting Characters''.)
* ''Fanfic/ChildrenOfTime'' is a Series/DoctorWho[=/=]Literature/SherlockHolmes {{Crossover}} that starts goes from typical Doctor Who adventure and angst to DarkerAndEdgier in the three-part finale, helped along by a definite KnightOfCerebus, [[spoiler:Professor Moriarty]]. Holmes himself [[spoiler:does a FaceHeelTurn]].
* ''Fanfic/MyLittleAlicorn'' starts out as a quirky comedy about Celestia being turned into a filly and Twilight and Luna having to put up with her antics while they also struggle to effectively rule the country until they can turn Celestia back to normal. Eventually though, things get ''much'' more serious and dark as we're shown how ''no one'' has forgiven Luna for her crimes as Nightmare Moon, we see just how self serving and manipulative the Canterlot nobility is, Blueblood becomes [[SanitySlippage increasingly violent and deranged]] as he becomes obsessed with getting revenge on the Mane Six for the events of ''The Best Night Ever'', and we get a firsthand look at how dark and graphic [[spoiler:Discord's reign over Equestria, and the war to topple him]] was. And this is all ''before'' [[spoiler:the appearance of an AxCrazy sorcerer who has murdered literally ''millions'' in his quest for immortality.]]
* ''Fanfic/GettingBackOnYourHooves'' begins as a SliceOfLife fic dealing with Trixie...well, trying to get back on her hooves with assistance of the mane six. While some serious moments, its still comical and Trixie's mess ups are presented comically. Then the Cutie Mark Crusaders decide to try and find a camping spot in the Everfree Forest, forcing Trixie and Fluttershy to go on a dangerous adventure to save them...and ''then'' [[BigBad Checker]] [[KnightOfCerebus Monarch]] enters the story and pushes the plot in a direction more in tune with the two parters of the actual series.
* FanFic/TheNuptialverse: The first story, ''Post Nuptials'', is a {{WAFF}} about the Mane Six dealing with the {{Guilt Complex}}es that resulted from not believing Twilight about the impostor Princess Cadence and their friendships coming out stronger for it. Then ''Families'' comes out and, on top of having to still deal with Spike's guilt and Pinkie's personal problems with her family, they also have to deal with a conspiracy to discredit and usurp Princess Celestia [[spoiler: one member of which happens to be Scootaloo's [[AbusiveParents total monster of a father]]]]. And that's not even mentioning the side story ''[[VillainEpisode Metamorphosis]]'', which explores Queen Chrysalis' ''[[DarkerAndEdgier incredibly dark]]'' StartOfDarkness.
* The MLP fanfic ''Trixie has a Problem'', by the author of ''Blog/AskTwixieGenies'', starts out as a comedic SliceOfLife fic where Trixie is accidentally turned into a human, and the hijinks that ensue as Twilight struggles to cure her. [[spoiler:Then Human!Trixie is kidnapped by the Apple Family, who in this story turn out to be ''cannibals''.]]
** And then comes chapter 6, where [[spoiler:''Applejack '''murders''' Twilight'' just because she tried to save Trixie.]]
* Blog/AskJappleack began as a NSFW ask blog. After the success of WebAnimation/PonyDotMov it started developing a plot. A plot which got progressively more dark, serious, and strange.
* The FanFic ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9308523/1/Sonic-Evil-Reborn-Zero Sonic Evil Reborn Zero]]''. Already a DeconstructionFic, the story makes a sharp turn southward at the start of the second arc when Sonic abruptly, for seemingly no reason, turns towards the dark side to join Eggman and Wikke (it's so abrupt even Eggman isn't prepared) and, immediately after, goes on a genocidal rampage through Station Square. Before this, it had been [[CerebusRollercoaster like a darker Sonic Adventure]] , with some chapters dedicated solely towards comedy and others towards drama, but this was the turning point where it remained dark. Amy's misery makes it worse.
* When Innortal published his first time loop stories, the characters were just screwing around with their cannon. Then Saphroneth came along and started his MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic loops, not only [[TropeCodifier codifying]] the [[FanFic/TheInfiniteLoops Infinite Loops setting]] but [[DeconstructedTrope deconstructing]] parts of the premise, though the plot was still mostly the characters screwing around. The Mega Man loops open with their reboot being represented as a garbled datastream and an entire reality being [[RetGone obliterated,]] necessitating a three-way anchorship and traumatizing Rock, Roll, and Blues.
* In ''FanFic/MegaManDefenderOfTheHumanRace'', post episode 5, the characters' morale and the tone of events in the story have taken an increasingly dark turn. This is best exemplified by the episode 10 epilogue, which is a nonstop string of tragic events.
** Episode 11 is the darkest one yet, but has hopeful moments that become most prominent in chapter 11.
* Happens across the entirety of the ''FanFic/MassVexations'' trilogy. The first two parts are a relatively light-hearted romp through the ''Franchise/MassEffect'' series, with a sense of humor that wasn't afraid to tap into MediumAwareness at some points. [[spoiler:The third fic ends with a Class X-2 ApocalypseHow over Earth.]]
* In ''FanFic/CrownsOfTheKingdom'', the cartoony pratfall type gags taper off as the plot heats up.
* ''FanFic/SonicXDarkChaos'' starts a lot like the original third season of Sonic X. [[DarkerAndEdgier It doesn't take long]] before the heroes realize [[CrapsackWorld just how messed up the galaxy really is]]. And then there's [[WhamEpisode Episode 74]]...
* FanFic/TheDearSweetieBelleContinuity starts out with some family drama but is overall quite optimistic- up until [[Series/DoctorWho Time Turner]] cameos in ''Morning Glory'' to deliver sudden {{Foreshadowing}}, cemented by the very end of ''Phases of the Moon'' ([[AnachronicOrder which takes place first anyway]]). If one reads in publication order, the ending of "The Sin of Envy" has this effect as well, but it is meant to be part of a relatively self-contained arc (and also takes place after the other moments).
* ''FanFic/ConstantTemptation'' is a lighthearted, fluffy RomanticComedy until [[SerialKiller Beyond Birthday]] shows up.
* ''WebAnimation/MyLittlePortal'' is exactly what it sounds like: a fusion of its [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic name]][[VideoGame/{{Portal}} sakes]], with Twilight Sparkle and various personality cores based on her friends traversing a test course. Sounds like silly fun, right? Aside from occasional dark hints of BackStory and a slightly sinister atmosphere (much like ''VideoGame/{{Portal}}'', at that), it is... for just about four episodes, until we learn just how everypony got there: [[spoiler:Canterlot was sacked by the changelings a decade before and Celestia and Luna were killed, which we get to see in gory detail, and the amnesiac Twilight is expected to be rehabilitated and lead LaResistance]].
* [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5789061/1/Hear-my-Song Hear my Song!]] used to be a light-hearted fluffy fic. Then, it started to take the focus off Miku and Luka and [[EnsembleCast onto other characters.]] Though there were a lot of dark points, pretty much everything involving Haku counting as one, things didn't get ''really'' dark until [[KnightOfCerebus IA and Yukari]] entered the plot. And at that point, things went to hell.
* Fanfic/StarWarsLightInDarkTime started out as a lighthearted TrollFic with some CrackFic elements; however, starting from chapter 3 onwards, the series takes a more serious turn, introducing dangerous villains, serious deaths, and a cohesive plot.
* ''Fanfic/TheLegendOfCynderSeries'' starts off as mostly a comedy, with the focus being 'what would happen if Cynder replaced Spyro?' as well as generally poking fun at the FridgeLogic and HeadScratchers the original series presents. (Cynder [[WhatTheHellHero calling out the guardians]] for sending a [[KidHero kid dragon]] to dangerous places while they wait behind, Cynder [[DungeonBypass flying over most enemies and tough areas instead of fighting them]], and in general finding ways to cheese a lot of the bosses in the series by fighting them in ways they weren't intended to.) All this continued until Cynder reached Boyzitbig, where the series experiences a WhamEpisode where [[spoiler: Cynder watches as a pregnant mole is killed in front of her, and she couldn't do anything to save her.]] Though the series is still not above poking fun at FridgeLogic and HeadScratchers, the story in general gets a lot more serious since then, and doesn't gloss over the fact that the characters are in a war in which they're slowly losing ground...
* The ''My Little Pony'' fanfiction ''The Lost Element'' starts off as a SliceOfLife story wherein the main character gets transported to Equestria and has to deal with being the first human to exist there. While the story does take a temporary dark turn when [[spoiler: Diamond Tiara tricks James into hiding in the Everfree Forest in fear of having broken an outdated law that prevented sexual intercourse between a human and pony, and he in turn discovers Sunny Town, where the ponies turn into zombies at nighttime]], it goes back to the usual lighthearted plotline of the first few chapters. The story takes another trip into the darkness with the discovery that [[spoiler: the ponies at Sunny Town murdered a filly for having a cutie mark, before dumping her corpse into an abandoned house and being cursed by Princess Luna to roam the night for all eternity until they atoned for their sins]], as well as the return of [[spoiler: Nightmare Moon]], which sets off a story arc involving the serious injury of several characters. The story ONCE AGAIN goes back to the regularly scheduled daily life observation, until things go to utter crap with the return of Discord, which leads to [[spoiler: James witnessing all his friends turning away from him, and him even being dumped by Fluttershy. This causes him to slip into [[HeroicBSOD a grief induced madness]] that causes him to trick Discord into a fight to the death where James [[CurbStompBattle beats the crap out of Discord]], tears off his wings, eats them, dismembers him, tears the Elements of Harmony out of his chest, and finally kills him. To make it worse, all of James's friends get to watch as all this happens, including Rainbow Dash, who wasn't corrupted by Discord]].
** To make it worse, the author then immediately put the story on hiatus so he could write an EVEN MORE depressing story where James gets killed in the battle with Discord and the Mane 6 have to deal with the repercussions, opting to finish this story before continuing the main one.
* ''Fanfic/HarryPotterAndTheMethodsOfRationality'' starts off as a frequently hilarious fic about a brilliant Ravenclaw Harry who plans to overturn the Wizarding World through the application of Reason and Science! The laughs have been few and far between since [[spoiler: Hermione was brutally killed by Mountain Troll, thereby triggering a prophecy suggesting that Harry will destroy the world that has even Voldemort himself in a panic]].
* While it was never light per se, ''Fanfic/YoungJusticeDarknessFalls'' takes a sharp turn into danger and darkness on chapter 40, which has [[the partial destruction of Watchtower]] by the forces of Apokalips and the scattering of several team members.
* ''Fanfic/TheDemesneOfTheReluctantTwilightSparkle'' is in large part a SliceOfLife story dealing with [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Twilight's (increasingly less) reluctant sudden sovereignty over Ponyville and the surrounding lands]], courtesy of disused laws and a gift from Luna. Then it turns out that [[spoiler:so many nobles now know that ''they'' have claims to their own demesnes that they threaten to plunge Equestria into civil war]].
* ''Fanfic/TheEquestrianWindMage'' starts out with a relatively light-hearted first season as Vaati adjusts to life in Equestria. Then Dethl shows up, and his presence reveals that Equestria has caught the eye of none other than [[GodOfEvil Majora himself]], who now intends to bring Equestria under his dominion, by any means necessary.
* ''[[Fanfic/IAgainstIMeAgainstYou I Against I, Me Against You]]'' starts with Twilight Sparkle's hapless adventures with Church and the other Blood Gulch boys, but gets progressively darker as more of Equestria's connection to Project Freelancer is revealed.
* ''Fanfic/{{Intercom}}'' starts out as a comedic and very heartwarming story revolving around Riley meeting her emotions. However, it begins to turn into a TearJerker drama when the story starts focusing more on Riley's major concerns of HearingVoices and a LossOfIdentity.
* ''Fanfic/{{The Racket-Rotter Chronicles}}'' starts off as a collection of light-hearted vignettes about two pre-made characters from ''VideoGame/TheSims3'', until the resident KnightOfCerebus is introduced. Then the story takes a turn into a downright gory string of deaths and torture.
* The [[Fanfic/{{Cinderjuice}} Contractually Obligated Chaos]] series has taken this route. The original story, which was supposed to be the ''only'' story, is quirky and bears strong resemblance to an episode of the [[WesternAnimation/{{Beetlejuice}} cartoon]] which inspired it. When it was expanded into a series, it kept some of the lighthearted elements of the first installment but also became darker and more serious, particularly with regards to the {{Arc Villain}}s.
* The MLP FanFic ''FanFic/WhenAPonyCalls'' starts out as a very lighthearted story, about a MyLittlePony:FriendshipIsMagic fan name, accidentally switching bodies with Lyra. Cue lots of slapstick, awkward situations, and Soren and his parents try to-[[AngstWhatAngst surprisingly casually]]-try to adjust to the situation for the time being. Then Soren gets bitten by his own dog, almost dies in a pull thanks to his/her uncontrollable magic, and his mother almost losing him/her. And that is just the tip of the iceberg, as we later find out [[spoiler: a natural memory implant in Lyra's horn is slowly over riding Soren's memories, the magical environment of Equestria is slowly morphing his original body into a pony, the combined pressure of the above is starting to [[SanitySlippage drive him/her insane]]. This leads to Twilight putting a spell on him/her, to keep him from hurting himself, which leads to him being unable to save a child, and he comes within inches of killing Twilight.]] Ultimately leading to a BittersweetEnding, where Soren has to start his life anew in Equestria, as Silver Script.

* ''Fanfic/{{Intercom}}'' started out as a heartwarming and comedic story involving Riley meeting her emotions. Swaying in a more dramatic tone around Chapter 10, however, the story begins to turn into a drama concerning Riley's major concerns of HearingVoices and a LossOfIdentity.
