History WhamEpisode / FanWorks

* New Dawn: [[spoiler: Chapter 8: The principal is Aleister Crowley, the Student Council President's not in control of his own organization, and Type V AntiHero Dex Anthem is loose.]] The next chapter ups it with [[spoiler: the reveal of [[BigBad Nebiros]], a magic using SerialKiller forcing a cartel to work for him in order to complete his agenda.]]

** ''The Butterfly:'' The first half involves a {{Deconstruction}} of Blaine's ObliviousToLove nature: Two years ago, he completely believed his friend's excuse to invoke a (failed) DanceOfRomance, and pretty much stuck him in the [[JustFriends friend zone]]. The second half starts with TheReveal [[spoiler: that Blaine has a stalker.]]

* Two of them are in ''FanFic/HuntingTheUnicorn'': "The Clock" (chapter nine) and "The Butterfly" (chapter [[ThirteenIsUnlucky thirteen]]). "The Clock" depicts the Warblers trying to deal with the fact that Kurt is transferring back to [=McKinley=]--which involves LampshadeHanging, {{Zany Scheme}}s [[TimeForPlanB running from Plans A through M]] as they desperately try to change Kurt's mind, and ThePowerOfLove being utterly shattered--because when Blaine asks Kurt if he'd stay at Dalton given the chance, [[ForegoneConclusion Kurt says no.]] The first half of "The Butterfly" involves a {{Deconstruction}} of Blaine's ObliviousToLove nature: Two years ago, he completely believed his friend's excuse to invoke a (failed) DanceOfRomance, and pretty much stuck him in the [[JustFriends friend zone]].

* ''[[{{Fanfic/Ptitle0028gzjm}} Kyon: Big Damn Hero]]'''s chapter 19, Gearing Up Arc I. [[spoiler:Kyon is shot.]]

* Two of them are in ''FanFic/HuntingTheUnicorn'': "The Clock" (chapter nine) and "The Butterfly" (chapter [[ThirteenIsUnlucky thirteen]]).

* TheCriesOfHaruhiSuzumiya. Chapter 3, "Keiichi"[[hottip:*:Seeing as the original chapter names are essentially gone, it's the last "section"]]. [[spoiler:Keiichi appears and almost beats Kyon to death. Then Haruhi shows up, and proceeds to ''blow Keiichi's head off''. The chapter ends with Haruhi sinking to her knees, laughing maniacally.]]

* FalloutEquestria's 39th chapter. There is so much in this chapter that just hits the reader, it will not be a surprise if they are left a blubbering emotional mess by the end. In a list of things that happen, [[spoiler: Twilight Sparkle returns, if only for a moment, and just long enough for Little Pip to give her Pinkie Pie's final message. Steelhooves, who had been established as damn near invincible, is swiftly killed in a brutal manner. Velvet Remedy becomes an emotional wreck after all that she has seen and done in the Equestrian Wasteland, and the discovery of Fluttershy's greatest secret is what finally breaks her. The Canterlot Ruins is destroyed, killing all of the ghouls living there, including Twilight Sparkle's mother. Friendship city is blown apart. To wrap it all up, Ditzy "Derpy Hooves" Doo sacrifices herself by nearly performing a sonic rainboom and attracting missiles to protect her hometown of New Appleloosa, and more importantly, her adoptive daughter Silver Belle.]] Wham episode indeed...

* MassEffect fanfic [[FanFic/MassVexations Mass Vexations]] 2 has chapter 32, which ''really'' shakes up the status quo. Until that point, AuthorAvatar Art had been keeping the fact that he was not from the same universe as the other characters a secret from most of the Normandy's crew, including Shepard. When he deals with an EvilTwin originally from the universe he emigrated to in this loyalty mission, the twin's actions finally push Art over the brink, and he launches into a rant where he decries the evil twin and spills his secret without realizing it... in front of Shepard, who is ''[[{{Understatement}} not]]'' happy at this revelation. The fallout from this incident causes the ''entire crew'' to find out over the course of chapter 33.

* [[Fanfic/{{Downfall}} Downfall]] has Chapter 18. [[spoiler: Rukia dies.]] what makes it even more of a sucker-punch is that, up to that point, this AU's differences were[[spoiler: were mostly characters being alive, when they ought to have been dead.]]

* [[Fanfic/{{Downfall}} Downfall]] has Chapter 18. [[spoiler: Rukia dies.]] what makes it even more of a sucker-punch is that, up to that point,[[spoiler: most of the changes were characters being alive, when they ought to have been dead.]]

** ''And'' chapter three of the StarWars fanfic ''The Unseen War II: Shattered Dreams'' by the same author: Winter, Tycho, Han, Jacen, and Jaina [[spoiler: all appear to have been killed when the ''Millennium Falcon'' was ambushed]].

** Chapter 38: [[spoiler: Butch had just blown himself up via a pile of pulse grenades, when already standing on his last legs.]] The entire chapter is written in binary.

* in [[{{fanfic\trouble}} Trouble]], chapter 20, [[spoiler: Butch had up and left Rivet City and has been gone for nearly two months. Paradise Falls is destroyed, and it appeared Butch may have died in a fire there.]] From that point on, Harkness' mentality is never quite the same.

* In "The Game of Three Generals," the final installment of the FanFic/ElementalChessTrilogy, the Wham Episodes seem like they just don't stop. [[spoiler:First, Fuhrer Grumman's office at Central Command is blown up...with him inside it. Then Roy Mustang (whom the readers know is innocent) is arrested for the crime. A trial ensues, which is gradually revealed to be a full-on sham complete with corrupt judge. At the end, Mustang is found guilty and sentenced to death by firing squad.]]

** He'd managed to keep magic out the explanation, though... until the next chapter when a Fraga magus attacks the Izumo Inn, seriously injures Miya and forces Shirou to reveal his magic. And now we can say that they've seen his skeletons.

* The 24th Wing of ''[[FanFic/InFlight In Flight]]''. It revealed ''most'' of the skeletons hiding in Shirou's closets to his rather idealistic flock, and boy that is a large closet.

* The 24th Wing of ''[[FanFic/InFlight In Flight]]''. It revealed all skeletons hiding in Shirou's closets to his rather idealistic flock, and boy that is a large closet.

* The specific chapter of the ''HarryPotter'' fanfic ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4080055/1/I_Saw_My_Lady_Weep I Saw My Lady Weep]]'' that received the most reviews was [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4080055/27/I_Saw_My_Lady_Weep Chapter 27]] (entitled "In the Ashes and the Dust"), in which Ginny Weasley is suddenly cast into a Muggle emergency room, being a hair's breadth from death. Readers don't find out until the next chapter that she was involved in a car accident.

* The Olympics arc of ''DCNation-JLA Watchtower''. What started as a relatively light-hearted Titans adventure turned very ugly VERY quickly when Hades declared the Pankration match between Antaeus and Nightwing to be ''to the death'' - and Nightwing ''lost.'' None of the players/writers save the person running the plot, the Nightwing-mun, and the Hades-mun knew it was going to play out that way. Cue a VERY active 20+ person chat room going to ''dead silence'' for five minutes as it sunk in.

* ''Fanfic/{{Luminosity}}'' diverges from the original ''{{Twilight}}'' plotline fairly early on, and diverges from it radically some time later, but there aren't really many wham points, just Bella's decisions building. Then Edward dies. Then we find out he isn't dead, and it manages to be another Wham, due to what's left of him. Just about whenever the Volturi show up, really.

Readers don't find out until the next chapter that she was involved in a car accident.

* The Marvel fanfic [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6470827/1/Not_a_Typical_Civil_War Not a typical Civil War]] looks at first like a standard FixFic : sure, there are some changes (the proregs, and especially IronMan, acting less like douches ; Maria Hill jumping the gun more often ; a whole new subplot with Wolverine tracking down Nitro), but otherwise, the main events are kept, and the story unwinds the same way. So, we're heading to the same climax, with the Proregs and the Antiregs about to duke it out. Cue chapter 10... [[spoiler:And Doctor Doom appears on a video screen for revealing that A) he actually orchestrated the Stamford Incident and, thanks to a mole in the SHIELD (surprise surprise, it's Maria Hill) and another in the Proreg side (a Doombot version of Hank Pym), he manipulated the events so that a simple disagreement between heroes would turn into an all-out war between two factions ; B) He also CREATED the Sentry thanks to a deal with Mephisto, and he's about to unleash him on their families and the world, before coming out and looking like a hero by stopping him (and considering how SecretInvasion ended, it would probably work) ; C) he released all the villains imprisonned in the Negative Zone Prison, and warned them that he hid a quantum bomb and that he would only teleport those who would be alive at the end of a fight to the death against the heroes ; and D) during this long reveal, he'd been pouring an undetectable knockout gas in the corridor where the heroes are gathered so that they wouldn't be able to put up a fight.]] And then, time for an epic ending.
