History NightmareFuel / FanFiction

[[folder:A-D]]

* The ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' fic [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10156375/1/My-Child My Child]] centers around Corporal Levi being harassed by a [[TheLegionsOfHell demon]] who has followed him around for decades, trying to convince him to make a DealWithTheDevil so he can take Levi's soul. However, Levi (being aware of the JackassGenie trope) knows better than to let himself be tempted. The demon, [[FauxAffablyEvil Xaphan,]] appears when Mikasa (now an adult, as the fic is post-series) is in labor with Levi's child, and offers to give the child lifelong safety in exchange for Levi's soul. Once again, Levi angrily refuses, and essentially tells Xaphan to fuck off. Xaphan refuses to go and says that Levi would regret it if he left and [[ShameIfSomethingHappened something were to happen.]] [[spoiler: [[DeathByChildbirth Cue severe shoulder dystocia that will suffocate the baby before it is born.]] It's heavily implied that Xaphan caused it to [[SadisticChoice force Levi to choose between his life and his child's life.]] And it ''works'' - Levi gives up his soul to the demon in exchange for his child being saved, and is dragged to Hell immediately after, before he can even see his son. The story ends with Levi imprisoned in Hell, faced with an eternity of ColdBloodedTorture at the sadistic Xaphan's hands.]]
** Levi's [[ImagineSpot Imagine Spots]] of all the ways childbirth could go wrong, including "Mikasa torn open from the inside and bleeding out, their baby coming out strangled on its own umbilical cord..." and of his child being EatenAlive by a Titan.
** The ending, or more specifically, Levi's thoughts about [[spoiler: how Xaphan tortures him in Hell. He's perpetually restrained in Xaphan's room, with [[EvilIsBurningHot searing hot chains that impale him and wind through his body. He remembers having "red-hot weapons stabbed into every part of him]] [and] a pack of hellhounds chomping and tearing at him like an oversized bone."]] Worst of all, it's all but outright stated that [[spoiler: Xaphan has [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil raped him countless times]] while he's helpless to fight back.]] And the real kick in the ass is that [[spoiler: Levi is enduring all of this for nothing. Xaphan [[LoopholeAbuse neglected to mention that the deal protects Levi's son Rivahn from everything except him]], and the last line of the story is Xaphan taunting Levi about how he's going after Mikasa's and Rivahn's souls next.]]

* [[http://sharknob.deviantart.com/art/STREET-FIGHTER-DESTINY-DROID-LI-432375710 This]] fanart of [[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcomClashOfSuperHeroes Shadow Lady]], a PaletteSwap and WhatIf version of Chun Li. In it, she dies 15 minutes after giving birth to a baby, and it's unknown who the child's father is, as she was dating Dan and Ryu simultaneously. Shadaloo was aware of this, so they decided to steal her body for their own nefarious purposes by turning her into their [[ReforgedIntoAMinion brainwashed]] [[UnwillingRoboticization cybernetic]] [[TheDragon minion]], effectively condemning her to a FateWorseThanDeath. Before her death and transformation into Shadow Lady, Chun-Li routinely foiled Shadaloo's plans at every turn, so it's apparent that she was roboticized in retaliation for her foiling many of their plans. Designed to be the ultimate anti-Interpol weapon, she was sent out by the heinous Shadaloo leader to gather information on her former allies so they too could be turned into mindless cyborgs like Chun-Li was. As Shadow Lady, [[CyberneticsEatYourSoul her formerly cheerful personality was obliterated,]] her body's physiology altered so it experienced no emotion apart from being an ruthless and emotionless assassin and serving as M. Bison's right-hand, as it was only fitting that the one constant pain in Bison's side be given this 'honor', and hopefully, turn her into their main pawn against Interpol. In essence, she is a completely different person inhabiting her body and mind, and serves as nothing but a weapon against her former allies. And though she retained her original moves, the enhancements also gave her new abilities, including lasers, RocketBoots, an electric shield and a large drill in her hands. It's unknown how much of her body has been automated, but anybody can speculate that much of it is now robotic, save for a few parts such as her brain, which has been [[NeuralImplanting surgically implanted]] so she only follows Shadaloo's orders through her OdangoHair shaped RobotAntennae at their command through secure radio links. The breathing apparatus covering her mouth gave the appearance of a female DarthVaderClone. Thirty years later, the robot is deployed after extensive training and programming (aside from painstakingly preserving her body), and although others are suspicious that this robotic assassin named Shadow Lady aka Droid Li looks a lot like Chun-Li, they're totally unaware that this ''is'' indeed the body of the fallen Interpol agent, converted into a soulless cybernetic zombie. But the worst part? Her child won't be aware that their mother has been revived as a [[ArchnemesisMom brainwashed and cyborgized machine]]. Also, neither Ryu nor Dan are aware that their [[RoboticSpouse former date]] is now a {{Brainwashed}} RobotGirl. All in all, while Chun-Li is back again, she's now more of an EmptyShell, [[LaserGuidedAmnesia with no record of her old memories]] [[AndIMustScream as they've been]] [[BlankSlate overridden]] with pre-programmed directives ordering her to be a [[ReforgedIntoAMinion killing]] [[RoboticPsychopath machine]] for Shadaloo, and effectively condemning her to a FateWorseThanDeath via DeathOfPersonality, LossOfIdentity and CyberneticsEatYourSoul.

** Sleepwalker's EvilCounterpart Psyko, a human gang leader twisted by Cobweb's demonic power into a humanoid abomination that combines [[TheSilenceOfTheLambs Hannibal Lecter]]'s disturbing intimacy with his victims with the ability to make his victims suffer [[YourWorstNightmare their worst nightmares]] and a healthy dose of FoeYay and rape imagery that perverts true love and intimacy;

* The epic ''Franchise/{{Kirby}}'' fanfic ''Fanfic/TheDreamLandStory'' has the entire sequence in [[spoiler: Marx's mind]], which was probably intended to be creepy. There's also [[spoiler: Kirby's Dark-Matter-induced night terrors]] which [[NothingIsScarier are never described to the reader]], as well as how the way Nightmare dies by Meta Knight's hand is described. And to top it all off, [[spoiler: Meta Knight's graphic suicide]].

* There is a DeviantArt ''WebAnimation/DeathBattle'' fan fight between Monkey D. Luffy and Popeye the Sailor Man that starts out lighthearted and humourous, but takes a very grim turn when the killing blow comes. Popeye uppercuts Luffy into the air, then rips open a hole in reality, opening up a blank white void for Luffy to fall into. Luffy manages to grab the edge, only for Popeye to pry his fingers loose while mockingly playing 'This Little Piggy', causing Luffy to fall into the void. While not a brutal death, it's still horrifying in that Luffy is still alive and fully conscious when he falls, meaning he's doomed to fall in an empty void until he dies of natural causes. Truly a fate worse than death.

* The ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' fanfic ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12327719/1/What-Do-You-Want What Do You Want?]]'' has a few moments:

*** When she's informed that Nodoka may try and set Ranma with [[AxCrazy Kodachi]] due her being just better than the other fiancees at traditional Japanese stuff and that she, Ukyo and Akane need to work together to stall until Nabiki figures something to get her out of the running, she has a very interesting proposal to deal with the situation:
---->"Catch Crazy Girl, stuff in box, mail to South Pole. Why go all trouble? Japan have too-too good mail system, might even get there before die of thirst."
*** Shampoo versus the Hentai Horde. [[KickTheSonOfABitch Even if they fully deserved what she did them]], she had to ''ask'' to know she wasn't to kill them...

* The idea of Ranma Saotome in ''[[Manga/RanmaOneHalf Ranma 1/2]]'' "getting in touch with his feminine side" is a popular one for fanfiction, thanks to the combination of his general "manly man" personality, his canonical professions of distaste for his curse, and his rather hypocritical willingness to make use of what advantages the female body can socially give him. The NightmareFuel comes in the fact that in so many of this fanfics, the process extends into LossOfIdentity levels, with Ranma's mindset eventually changing to the point of him thinking of himself as female over male, often going so far as to show him with a boyfriend[[note]]something that Ranma violently rejects in canon and is shown having nightmares about[[/note]], or getting pregnant and giving birth[[note]]something that has canonically given him [[CatapultNightmare wake-up-screaming nightmares]][[/note]] and, usually, becoming "motherly", until mentally there's absolutely nothing inside that remotely resembles him anymore. This is a scary enough idea in the first place -- [[TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody the curse slowly overwriting and consuming the original Ranma]] -- but it's made even scarier in that such fanfics don't ''intend'' to play this for horror. It's quite obvious that [[AuthorAppeal the author approves of the process's end result]], many outright stating that Ranma is "better" after he permanently becomes a mental girl as well as a physical one, with the strong implication (if not outright statement) that [[MoralDissonance being female is inherently superior to being male and so Ranma should be grateful he can make the transition]].

* The ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' fanfic ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12327719/1/What-Do-You-Want What Do You Want?]]'' has a few moments:
** Kuno weaponizing the DramaticThunder.
** [[OriginalCharacter Himura Tanaka]] all but forcing Ranma to go at school as a girl and join her volleyball team on pain of framing him for a sex offender charge, using Ranma's refusal to hurt civilians and the fact she's a YakuzaPrincess to shield herself from retaliation. That also leads in Nabiki discovering that her subordinate [[OriginalCharacter Hana]] took over all her operations at school, and, differently from her, has absolutely zero qualms, having exchanged them for blackmail on Nabiki. Blackmail that could potentially set Shampoo on her.
*** And as the story progresses, the depths of Himura's sociopathy.
** Akane ''snapping'' at Kuno and [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown punching him on a steel door until she manages to punch him through]].
** [[NoNonsenseNemesis Shampoo doing her thing]]:
*** When Hana tries to take the money from Nabiki's first counterattack on Himura, Nabiki is quick to inform a passing Shampoo that Hana has taken pictures of Ranma during a physical and prove it, thus making sure Shampoo won't believe anything Hana has on Nabiki... And getting the Chinese Amazon angry at her. Poor Hana quickly finds out at exactly the wrong moment that Shampoo, differently from Ranma, has no trouble hurting civilians if given reason, and is lucky that the Amazon couldn't be bothered to give chase.
*** When she's informed that Nodoka may try and set Ranma with [[AxCrazy Kodachi]] due her being just better than the other fiancees at traditional Japanese stuff and that she, Ukyo and Akane need to work together to stall until Nabiki figures something to get her out of the running, she has a very interesting proposal to deal with the situation:
---->"Catch Crazy Girl, stuff in box, mail to South Pole. Why go all trouble? Japan have too-too good mail system, might even get there before die of thirst."
*** Shampoo versus the Hentai Horde. [[KickTheSonOfABitch Even if they fully deserved what she did them]], she had to ''ask'' to know she wasn't to kill them...
** How headmaster Kuno got away with his antics for so long and puts [[spoiler:Himura]] in her place: he's a retired [[spoiler:''Yakuza boss'']], and still has good friends there, including [[spoiler:Himura's grandfather]].
** The Hentai Horde from Akane and Nabiki's point of view: a rape gang. And when Akane starts shaming most of them into the HeelRealization, the Kendo team and a few others actually start acting like one, at least until Shampoo and Ukyo step in and put them into traction...

* The ''Series/{{CSI}}'' fic [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4828756/1/Face_The_Music Face The Music]] by Elm22 has a lot of this in the form of Grissom's kidnap and torture (and later Sara's as well). The fact that it's an extremely well written, well researched fic makes it all the more haunting.
