History CrapsackWorld / FanWorks

* ''Fanfic/MetalGearGreen'': Despite looking pristine and beautiful, the MHA world is marred in massive amounts of corruption and scandals. Most heroes act and behave like criminals when not on duty or given assignments by the HPSC, Africa is a massive war-torn continent except for HPSC-controlled cities kept pristine alongside a 50-mile circle where no battles take place, human and drug trafficking are rampant, and crime is strictly controlled by the HPSC. Not out of the goodness of their hearts, but to better keep hero society in line. Too little crime and heroes seem like a pointless expenditure. Too much and they seem ineffective. So the HPSC makes deals with large criminal organizations, in exchange for the organizations following their orders. People with Mutation Quirks are discriminated against so immensely that many of them end up becoming villains. The ones that don't either join the MSF or are already DrivenToSuicide. Is it any wonder many disgruntled heroes and civilians join the MSF?

* ''Fanfic/AIsA'': The most prominent to date has been the world of VideoGame/Battfield2142: Nearly all aerable land in the Northern Hemisphere is overtaken by glaciers, what's left of Europe is under the crushing occupation of the Pan-Asian Coalition, and what's left of Europe's population has to live in crammed cities in North Africa. The majority of food is insect meat, soy, and lentils, with special occasions meaning a loaf of bread and chicken meat. Nearly every civilian contributes to the war economy, while nationalist movements still operate trying to destabilize the EU. It's hinted life under PAC control is even worse.

* ''Faery Heroes'' starts off in a future where Voldemort attacked the Muggles, and ended up causing the magicals to be [[MugglesDoItBetter in desperate war of survival]], with all the magicals forgetting he started it. The first chapter featured a dying Santa Claus due to how bad it was, for crying out loud.

* ''Fanfic/Warhammer40000Trouble'': In the 21st century, there's only love adventures. Okay, isn't that's a [[NegativeSpaceWedgie vortex]] appearing in the sky? Meteors falling from that vortex? We don't care, we have [[WaveMotionGun laser towers]] everywhere... what do you mean there's an EMP storm following? Wait, are those greenskins riding those meteors? Now the cast of ''Manga/ToLoveRu'' have to fight in the endless wars of ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000''.

[[AC: ''WebVideo/SMPLive'']]
* In the world of ''Fanfic/MiraiSMP'', if you're one of the unlucky people chosen to participate in the game, it is almost guaranteed that you're gonna die, and probably brutally, too. You get to bear witness to [[DwindlingParty everyone you care about dying]] one by one. And all this is for the game of a sick God.

* ''Fanfic/TheShapeOfTheNightmareToCome'' - DarkFic of ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000, the patron saint of all crapsack worlds and turns its crappiness up to eleven. The God Emperor of Mankind dies [[spoiler: and is reborn in the Warp as the Star Father, ruthless Chaos God of Order]], the Astronomicon collapses, so the Imperium of Man gets fractured into several smaller empires, out of which many are even worse than it was and most of its' forces are either destroyed or start mad, fanatical crusades. The Tau turns into bitter conquerors who sees other races as lesser ones. Most of the Eldar die [[spoiler: to awake Ynnead, who ends up trapped in the Infinity Circuits so they all died for nothing]]. Chaos breaks from the Eye of Terror and ''two'' Chaos Empires - one ruled by Abbadon and another by Huron Blackheart - rise. The Orks and Tyranids merge into terrible New Devourer that eats half of the galaxy. The Void Dragon breaks free [[spoiler: through ends trapped in Sol System]]. Oh, and the Necrons have [[spoiler: unleashed Ophilim Kiasoz, an EldritchAbomination that unmakes solar systems just by passing through them]]. The introduction sums it up:

* In ''Fanfic/AlternateDestination'', Zarm eventually turns Earth into this.
* In ''Fanfic/HeroesForEarth'', Earth is slowly becoming this, as no one cares to fight the Corporation's callous destruction of the ecosystem through their blatant corruption and waving of power over local governments.

* ''Fanfic/{{Deserving}}'' is set in one of these, as summed up in the sporking: "I [[TooBleakStoppedCaring honestly don't know who to root for in Deserving]], because the world is [[DysfunctionJunction populated by complete fuckwits]]. [[Franchise/HarryPotter Harry]] is an [[ConflictBall inconsistently]] characterised [[JerkAss wanker]], as are Ron, Hermione and Neville, Severus is just inconsistently characterised ([[ADateWithRosiePalms and a wanker in a more literal sense]], [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment of course]]), [[RonTheDeathEater Minerva, Sprout and Pomfrey]] seem to have morphed into three bitter old hags I half expect to see [[Theatre/{{Macbeth}} meeting up with an ambitious nobleman on a blasted heath]], the kids are [[CreepyChild downright creepy]] at worst, Millicent ([[OffstageWaitingRoom where's she been when all this is going on?]]) is a "Mary Sue," and then there are the actual villains."

* ''[[Fanfic/FirebirdsSon The Firebird Trilogy]]'' of stories also has a very, very well constructed Crapsack world. The fic deconstructs the harem genre in the most horrifying manner, creating a world where sexual harassment of young males is encouraged, Goblins are witch raping monsters, and Voldemort (who is very much like his canon counterpart, if perhaps worse), is seen by most of the fans as a hero.... and Goyle is a girl. Squick.

* In ''Fanfic/{{Fractured}}'', a ''Franchise/MassEffect''[=/=]''Franchise/StarWars''[=/=]''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}'' [[MassiveMultiplayerCrossover crossover]] and its sequel, ''Fanfic/{{Origins}}'' Pandora is still a mess. It goes up to eleven since in this universe, the ''whole surrounding galaxy'' is very similar to Pandora, with a few ultra-wealthy elites escaping a miserable existence but everyone else condemned to live meager lives. When the [[spoiler:Flood]] shows up, there isn't much of a coherent defense mounted as a result.

* The world of ''Fanfic/TheFaceless'' an AU with a BrokenMasquerade exposing the reality of the Shinigami World to the human race which results in a post-apocalyptic world of nihilism-civilization has collapsed, it's a world of permanent war, everyone wears masks and are busy dying.

* ''Fanfic/TheConversionBureauTheOtherSideOfTheSpectrum'' is a WarFic take on ''Fanfic/TheConversionBureau'' and promptly takes it all up to eleven, with all the crapsack-ness that it implies. And there's a lot. [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/143840/1/the-conversion-bureau-the-other-side-of-the-spectrum-side-story-starvation/starvation Food is so scarce]] that some jobs have started paying people in rations instead of money, and some people have [[NoPartyLikeADonnerParty resorted to cannibalism]]; humanity is fighting a what is pretty much a HopelessWar and their only possible shot at victory is likely to be [[spoiler: a PyrrhicVictory by [[TakingYouWithMe detonating the Yellowstone megavolcano]]]]; if they lose they'll [[AFateWorseThanDeath get]] [[BalefulPolymorph turned]] [[AssimilationPlot into]] [[GettingSmiliesPaintedOnYourSoul zombified slaves]], with the Equestrian Barrier is [[AdvancingWallOfDoom spreading across the world]] and destroying every human and human-made object it touches. So many of our characters are traumatized in some way that the fic may deserve its own page for {{Woobie}}s, and it may actually be a convincing argument for bringing back the old "World of Woobie" trope. However, there's still a glimmer of hope, as a [[MirrorUniverse good Equestria]] much more based on MLP canon has joined the battle and will aid humanity.

* In ''Fanfic/{{Fractured}}'', a ''Franchise/MassEffect''[=/=]''Franchise/StarWars''[=/=]''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}'' [[MassiveMultiplayerCrossover crossover]] and its sequel, ''Fanfic/{{Origins}}'' Pandora is still a mess.

** Zigzagged with the alternate endings. Ending B [[UpToEleven manages to top even that]] where [[spoiler: TheBadGuyWins and opens up a supercluster-sized NegativeSpaceWedgie, with the resulting Shroud invasion bringing about a universe-wide dark age]]. However, Ending D is [[WorldHalfFull notably more hopeful and upbeat on a small scale]].

* ''Fanfic/TheShapeOfTheNightmareToCome'' - DarkFic of ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000, the patron saint of all crapsack worlds and turns it's crappiness UpToEleven. The God Emperor of Mankind dies [[spoiler: and is reborn in the Warp as the Star Father, ruthless Chaos God of Order]], the Astronomicon collapses, so the Imperium of Man gets fractured into several smaller empires, out of which many are even worse than it was and most of its' forces are either destroyed or start mad, fanatical crusades.

Oh, and the Necrons have [[spoiler: unleashed Ophilim Kiasoz, an EldritchAbomination that unmakes solar systems just by passing through them]]. The introduction sums it up:

* While a great many ''Literature/{{Worm}}'' Fanfictions are prone to focusing on obscure secondary characters [[CrapsackWorld many of which die in canon]], special mention must be given to ''Fanfic/{{Bird}}'' which features the canon backstory of [[PowerIncontinence Labyrinth]] and [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity Burnscar]]. An [[BedlamHouse insane asylum]] for parahumans.

* In ''FanFic/AlternateDestination'', Zarm eventually turns Earth into this.

* ''FanFic/AeonNatumEngel'': The ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' cast placed in the ''TabletopGame/CthulhuTech'' setting + ''[[VideoGame/FirstEncounterAssaultRecon F.E.A.R.]]''. In the background there is the Unknowable Tsab, the Lovecraftisized Darker and Edgier [[Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha Time and Space Administration Bureau]]. That should be self-explanatory.
** Its rewrite ''FanFic/AeonEntelechyEvangelion'' at the first glance seems to be a little lighter, what with stabilized fronts, the Rapine Storm successfully contained and with everyone being much, much more competent. And then we are introduced to the [[TabletopGame/EclipsePhase TITAN]] [=AIs=], and one of them is based on [[VideoGame/CommandAndConquerTiberianSeries CABAL]].

* ''FanFic/DeathNoteEquestria'': After centuries of being a SugarBowl, Equestria is completely unprepared for the increase in crime that comes with the increased population. As a result, its justice system is ridiculously inefficient, to the point of convicted murderers getting released when a prison gets overcrowded. This is what motivates [[WellIntentionedExtremist Twilight Sparkle]] to become the first Kira and begin killing criminals.

* In ''FanFic/{{Fractured}}'', a ''Franchise/MassEffect''[=/=]''Franchise/StarWars''[=/=]''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}'' [[MassiveMultiplayerCrossover crossover]] and its sequel, ''Fanfic/{{Origins}}'' Pandora is still a mess. It goes UpToEleven since in this universe, the ''whole surrounding galaxy'' is very similar to Pandora, with a few ultra-wealthy elites escaping a miserable existence but everyone else condemned to live meager lives. When the [[spoiler:Flood]] shows up, there isn't much of a coherent defense mounted as a result.
* FanFic/TheInfiniteLoops were started when the multiverse crashed and damage was done to multiple realities. That's not this trope. What is this trope is loops that are quarantined, either due to being so full of viruses and malware they could MindRape any Looper that winds up in there, or simply having enough baseline power to pose a danger to the multiverse.
* FanFic/TheLoneTraveler started out in one and comes across several in his wanderings through the multiverse.

* In ''FanFic/ProjectIgnition'' it sucks to be on the Earth. It really, really does. Starting back in the 1970s, there's been an Alien Invasion (it left the world to be as described "That fucked up world"), constant warfare where civilians often ARE the targets, and if you're not getting killed by some corporate, you're living in slave like conditions, there's highly corrosive radioactive particles floating in the air, EVERYWHERE, and dying of "Kojima Poisoning" is EXTREMELY painful, and common. And oh, the aliens are back- and the best weapon to fight them? It spreads the aforementioned "Kojima Particles". Yeah, everyone is just shy of "Fucked" and "Fucked Harder". And that plan to escape the Earth? You know, the Closed Plan? Corporate Scheme.

* ''FanFic/SoulChess'': Given it's [[{{Manga/Bleach}} Parent]] [[Anime/CodeGeass Series]], this is pretty much a given; both the living world and the afterlife are pretty nasty places to be on the whole. The first part is mainly afterlife based; crime and disease are rampant, living conditions are woeful, and the nobles do pretty much what they want with impunity. Lelouch spends over a century trying to make things better, sometimes through being an AllLovingHero, others by being a ManipulativeBastard (mainly tricking the Gotei into getting off their backsides and dealing with the problems themselves). Later actions shift to the world of the living. He knows the living world is going to get more crapsack; [[TimeyWimeyBall he's lived through it once, and now gets to see all again as a spectator]]. And because of the GrandfatherParadox, ''he knows he can do absolutely nothing about it''.
* ''FanFic/SuddenContact'': After the defeat of the zerg in the first story, the galaxy as a whole becomes this, as the zerg invasion left the elcor an endangered species, hundreds of worlds uninhabitable, and the asari without a fleet or homeworld. The latter results in the asari losing their spot on the Citadel Council, causing civil unrest between the turians and the salarians that escalates into full-scale war, with much of the galaxy's races caught in the middle. Furthermore, the many terran polities are at each other's throats, and the batarians, the galaxy's most disreputable species, have made a significant jump in their economy and military thanks to the Kel-Morian Combine, and other species are suffering for it.
* ''FanFic/Warhammer40000Trouble'': In the 21st century, there's only love adventures. Okay, isn't that's a [[NegativeSpaceWedgie vortex]] appearing in the sky? Meteors falling from that vortex? We don't care, we have [[WaveMotionGun laser towers]] everywhere... what do you mean there's an EMP storm following? Wait, are those greenskins riding those meteors? Now the cast of ''Manga/ToLoveRu'' have to fight in the endless wars of ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000''.

* ''FanFic/TheOdyssey''. It's set in ''TabletopGame/{{Exalted}}'', and the protagonist is currently a mortal. That should tell you all you need to know. Every day is a constant battle for survival, pitting sheer determination against the overwhelming power of the [[Main/TheEmpire Realm]]'s Dragon-Blooded.

* The wizarding world is becoming this in ''FanFic/DumbledoresArmyAndTheYearOfDarkness''. And ''Sluagh'' somehow managed to mesh the worst of the Troubles in Northern Ireland with the worst of Voldemort's reign of terror.

* There's a world in the realm of Fan Fiction where daring to like what you wish to can result in torture, where ideology can get you imprisoned with guards who are MindRape incarnate, where pedophiles are allowed to be teachers, and where you can get away scot-free for murdering someone who asked you to quiet down in the movie theater. In this world, students are tortured, reason seems to have fled, and whatever choice you make on ideology, you are doomed to become reviled, except if you fill some completely arbitrary criteria. What is this horrific world? It's ''FanFic/MyImmortal'', widely considered the worst fanfic ever written.

* ''FanFic/{{Horseshoes and Hand Grenades}}'' is set in the optimistic world of Fourze...except in this world, Gentaro's death brought in an ancient serpent who resurrected him and now Gentaro's planning on destroying the world. Moreover, other serpents have begun possessing people who have also recently died, ''other'' Kamen Rider shows got involved in the mix, the original BigBad is crossing lines and the MysteriousBenefactor is being amoral for some odd reason. All in all, friendship isn't going to be the shining beacon of light in this fic.

* The setting of ''FanFic/BadFutureCrusaders'' -- the {{Face Heel Turn}}ed Queen Twilight Sparkle has turned conquered Equestria and the Crystal Empire, turning them into a totalitarian PoliceState[=/=][[TheEmpire Empire]], whose military has no problem with bombing population centers in order to drive fugitives out of hiding. Meanwhile, what we've seen of the rest of the world isn't nice either, as Sonhos Vale (the country where Apple Bloom and Silver Spoon grew up as refugees) has been split by civil war for so long no one remembers ''why'', and Saddle Arabia has suffered from such serious drought that its society is on the verge of collapse.
* ''FanFic/TheConversionBureauTheOtherSideOfTheSpectrum'' is a WarFic take on ''FanFic/TheConversionBureau'' and promptly takes it all UpToEleven, with all the crapsack-ness that it implies. And there's a lot. [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/143840/1/the-conversion-bureau-the-other-side-of-the-spectrum-side-story-starvation/starvation Food is so scarce]] that some jobs have started paying people in rations instead of money, and some people have [[NoPartyLikeADonnerParty resorted to cannibalism]]; humanity is fighting a what is pretty much a HopelessWar and their only possible shot at victory is likely to be [[spoiler: a PyrrhicVictory by [[TakingYouWithMe detonating the Yellowstone megavolcano]]]]; if they lose they'll [[AFateWorseThanDeath get]] [[BalefulPolymorph turned]] [[AssimilationPlot into]] [[GettingSmiliesPaintedOnYourSoul zombified slaves]], with the Equestrian Barrier is [[AdvancingWallOfDoom spreading across the world]] and destroying every human and human-made object it touches. So many of our characters are traumatized in some way that the fic may deserve its own page for {{Woobie}}s, and it may actually be a convincing argument for bringing back the old "World of Woobie" trope. However, there's still a glimmer of hope, as a [[MirrorUniverse good Equestria]] much more based on MLP canon has joined the battle and will aid humanity.

* ''Fanfic/{{MLP}}'' is set in a world of the [[CrapsaccharineWorld crapsaccharine]] variety. The Equestria of ''MLP'' is quite similar to the Equestria of the original show; however, this fic places a much higher emphasis on its [[VileVillainSaccharineShow more]] [[FridgeHorror unsavory aspects]]. For instance, many of the more powerful major villains (Tirek, Chrysalis, Sombra, etc.) are treated as TheDreaded [[SealedEvilInACan Sealed Evils in Cans]], and the [[RealityWarper Reality-Warping]] God of Chaos Discord is regarded as an unfathomably powerful EldritchAbomination who is treated with a level of fear and dread that one might expect to be directed towards Lovecraftian horrors. It also explicitly has deep societal problems such as vitriolic racism, child prostitution, and oppressive, soul-destroying cults.\* The ''FanFic/PonyPOVSeries'' has the [[BadFuture Epilogue timeline]] (based on the first series' alternate ending, later expanded on by Applejack's glimpses in [[GateOfTruth the Truth]], and eventually explored in-depth by the Dark World arc), which shows what would have happened had Discord [[TheBadGuyWins succeeded in conquering Equestria]]. It is possibly the ultimate VillainWorld, where the Mane Cast have been brainwashed into Discord's loyal enforcers, killing anyone (including ''children'') who opposes him (and sometimes for [[ForTheEvulz no reason whatsoever]]), while at the same time are victims of his mind games the same as everypony else. Meanwhile, Discord's [[WrittenByTheWinners rewritten history]] to make himself seem ''benevolent'' compared to the deposed Celestia and Luna, even as he causes random chaotic events on a daily basis for his amusement -- among other things, it seems the dead rising to eat their loved ones is a ''common'' occurrence under his reign. Need I go on? It's such a horrible place that even [[spoiler:Original Timeline!Discord is unnerved by it.]]
** Ironically, when we return during the Dark World Arc, part of the story is showing that there's still ''good'' in it, including the previously mentioned Sea Ponies, griffins and pegasi giving up racial tensions and essentially merging into one species (hippogriffs), and Changelings have gone from parasitic love vampires to downright ''heroic''. While its still a nasty place to live, there's at least hope of saving it. And [[HesBack a redeemed Twilight is going to try]]. Eventually, Discord [[spoiler:and [[TrueFinalBoss Nightmare Eclipse]]]] are defeated and reconstruction begins.

** You know how Treasure Town in ''VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeon'' is listed as one of these? In this fic, it's about eleven zillion times worse. The entire town is built upon a huge gate that contains the most evil thin in the Omniverse (that is, a collection of every multiverse ever), and it is the primary base of the Nhilators, a villainous group that at times gives [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}} Chaos]] a run for it's money. There is exactly one character from Treasure Town that is not evil, and he's a ghost who became a priest in order to repent.

* ''FanFic/TheSunSoul'', a story set in the ''Pokémon'' universe is essentially a highly methodical deconstruction of how brutal and dangerous a world with such monsters would be. A single Gyarados for example is more than capable of wiping a small town off the map. The villians start and control wars from the shadows, orchestrate crises to further theit political power, and merrily murder anyone who gets in their way. The heroes are, of course, trying to fix all this but in a world stalked by one horrifyingly effective HeroKiller after another, where being KilledOffForReal at any moment is a real threat, it isn't easy.

* The bleak [[DarkFantasy Dark]] ScienceFantasy setting of ''Fanfic/SonicXDarkChaos'' could possibly give ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'' a run for its money - [[CosmicHorrorStory the Milky Way Galaxy is not a nice place]]. A civil war between the [[PlantAliens Metarex]] and [[AIIsACrapshoot Tsali the Ultimate Weapon]] has decimated countless worlds and murdered billions of people. Meanwhile, GodAndSatanAreBothJerks who wage eternal cold war on each other and are responsible for most of the bleakness, manipulating and dooming whole galaxies to annihilation in order to further their plans. A [[TheEmpire corrupt and repressive autocratic empire]] of [[TheLegionsOfHell Demons]] and [[TheFederation a divided federation]] of [[OurAngelsAreDifferent Angels]] battle in a ForeverWar across the whole universe, with genocide and RapePillageAndBurn being [[BlackAndGrayMorality the rule rather than the exception]]. [[TheVirus Shroud parasites]], led by their Primes, devour entire worlds on a regular basis. Torture, rape, starvation and disease run rampant, forcing innocents [[spoiler: such as Molly and Leon's refugee group]] to resort to cannibalism to survive. By the end of the story, it's implied that the galaxy has been depopulated so much that it may never recover. [[FromBadToWorse And that's all]] before [[EldritchAbomination Dark Tails]] [[spoiler: and [[AbusivePrecursors the Forerunners]]]] enter the fray...

* ''Fanfic/TheShapeOfTheNightmareToCome'' - DarkFic of TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}, the patron saint of all crapsack worlds and turns it's crappiness UpToEleven. The God Emperor of Mankind dies [[spoiler: and is reborn in the Warp as the Star Father, ruthless Chaos God of Order]], the Astronomicon collapses, so the Imperium of Man gets fractured into several smaller empires, out of which many are even worse than it was and most of its' forces are either destroyed or start mad, fanatical crusades.

Oh, and the Necrons have [[spoiler: unleashed Ophilim Kiasoz, an EldritchAbomination that unmakes solar systems just by passing through them]]. The introduction sums it up:

* While a great many ''[[Literature/{{Worm}} Worm]]'' Fanfictions are prone to focusing on obscure secondary characters [[CrapsackWorld many of which die in canon]], special mention must be given to ''[[FanFic/{{Bird}} Bird]]'' which features the canon backstory of [[PowerIncontinence Labyrinth]] and [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity Burnscar]]. An [[BedlamHouse insane asylum]] for parahumans.

* [[WesternAnimation/YinYangYo Re: Yin Yang Who?]] has one of this story's review summing it up as this... partially.[[note]]->''"Angst, Tragedy. Dreams shattered by a single word of denial. Fear overwhelming a sense of justice. Because of a single twist, lives were changed drastically, loved ones were lost, and a crueler environment rose up. With nothing left but painful memories of the former lives they lost, the warriors continue on living in their new home."''

* In ''[[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/35530/adored Adored]]'', the changeling kingdom is a horrible place to live, no thanks to Chrysalis' incompetence as a ruler and lack of care for her people, although the harsh weather and desolate environment doesn't help. Only 10% of the population lives in towns and cities, the majority of changelings are peasants, and the infant mortality rate is a staggering ''25%.''
