2--> --Actual description on [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Website/FanFictionDotNet Fanfiction.net.]]
3
4''After the Abuse, Part One'' is one of the most bizarre fanfics in ''Harry Potter'' history, ranking alongside ''Fanfic/MyImmortal'' and ''Fanfic/ThirtyHs'' in terms of insanity, to the point that it is almost impossible to describe.
5
6The plot, as far as one can tell, is that Severus Snape randomly decides to murder the Dursleys for unspecified "abuse" of Harry. It just gets weirder from there.
7
8It should be noted that there is no "Part Two" of this story. This is a good thing, since "Part One" by itself will drive most readers to insanity.
9
10The story can be read [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2739441/1/After-The-Abuse-Part-One here]]. Be warned: Despite being very short, this is easily one of the worst-written fanfics in the site's history. The writing style is extremely bizarre and nearly incomprehensible. Don't say we didn't warn you.

14!!This fanfic contains examples of:
15* ArtisticLicensePhysics: After blowing up a bomb in Abingdon (a market town in England), a river quickly fills up the hole and floods the city.
16* AssholeVictim: The Dursleys. Oddly enough, the fic is listed as "Horror/Tragedy." To quote one of the reviewers: "It would not be a tragedy if the Dursleys died. It would be a day for national celebration."
17* AxCrazy: Snape, to an extremely disturbing degree.
18* BadGuyBar: The Nasty Bar, where Voldemort apparently likes to hold parties.
19* BoldInflation: The first three chapters are entirely in bold. For equally unclear reasons, the fourth chapter cuts off the bold halfway into the first sentence.
20* TheChosenOne: Snape gives Harry the title "Wizarding World Savior" (W.W.S. for short).
21* ColdBloodedTorture: Inflicted on both Petunia and Vernon, complete with GratuitousRape.
22* ContinuityNod: Somewhat shockingly, the story manages to do this, with Dudley being turned into a pig.
23* TheCorrupter: Snape teaches Harry to abuse Muggles, telling him that he is the "savior" only of the wizarding world, not the Muggle world.
24* {{Crossover}}: The way chapter 4 is written, it's unclear whether it's meant as a ShoutOut to "Resonance by [=GreenGecko=]", or a very terse declaration that the events of that story are also canon to After The Abuse.
25* DisproportionateRetribution: The Dursleys were abusive in canon, but Snape's actions are quite excessive.
26* EvenEvilHasStandards: The Death Eaters join in torturing the Dursleys to punish them for abusing Harry. This makes about as much sense as anything else in this.
27* FaceHeelTurn: Snape is portrayed as a psychopath who uses Unforgivable Curses on the Dursleys, teaches Harry that he should abuse Muggles, and commits a terrorist attack that even injures (and presumably kills) other wizards. He is still portrayed as working against Voldemort despite this.
28* FailedASpotCheck: A Muggle doctor is accidentally brought to St. Mungo's and treated for radiation poisoning. Presumably, this leads to the Muggles finding out about the magical world.
29* TheFundamentalist: Snape is implied to be this, invoking the crucifixion as a reason why Harry shouldn't care about protecting the Muggle world. [[NonSequitur Yeah.]]
30* GratuitousRape: This is done to Petunia (by a ''werewolf''.) A bunch of Death Eaters also do this to Vernon, "every way possible."
31* ImAHumanitarian: Sort of. Snape transforms Dudley into a pig, which is then eaten by the Death Eaters.
32* InfoDump: Chapter 3 goes into great detail on radiation poisoning treatment.
33* InNameOnly: This goes without saying. Most obviously, this version of Snape bears zero resemblance to his canon self.
34* KarmicRape: The rapes that happens to Petunia and Vernon are supposed to be karma for their abuse towards Harry.
35* KickTheDog: The Dursleys apparently did this to Harry off-screen, but we're given no details, except that it took Harry a while to recover.
36* KillItWithFire: What Snape does to Dudley, after turning him into a pig.
37* MeaninglessMeaningfulWords: The entire thing is borderline incoherent. The final line of Chapter 3 deserves special mention: "Tom Riddle screams all the way to hell, where he is placed into solitary confinement."
38* MindScrew: The whole thing.
39* NoodleIncident: The exact nature of the "abuse" that Snape is punishing the Dursleys for is never specified. It seems to have been something recent, as Snape should have known all along that they treated Harry badly before he arrived at Hogwarts.
40* NukeEm: Snape and Harry commit a terrorist attack by detonating a nuclear bomb in Abingdon. They also do this to the Riddle House to destroy Voldemort's Horcruxes.
41* ParentalSubstitute: Snape is a very bad one to Harry.
42* PurpleProse: All over the place. The Dursleys being raped is twice referred to as "carnal knowledge."
43* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Snape does this to the Dursleys on Harry's behalf.
44* ShoutOut: An extremely bizarre example. Chapter 4 is not part of the story at all, but what looks like a plug for another author's story.
45* SilenceIsGolden: There is no dialogue at all in the story. [[ShowDontTell The reader is just told everything that happens,]] most of which makes no sense whatsoever.
46* StressVomit: Dumbledore does this upon discovering the Dursleys' bodies.
47* {{Understatement}}: The first line tells us that Snape "stopped by to see" the Dursleys. He does much more than that.
48* TitleOne: The fanfic is called ''After The Abuse, Part One'', presumably under the assumption that there would be a Part Two.
