->"''From the desk of Creator/DakariKingMykan, comes a tale of sadness, anger, and a vengeance most foul.''"
-->-- Opening words that copy Bonejangles' from ''WesternAnimation/CorpseBride''.

What do you get when you take the plot of a [[VideoGame/SuperPaperMario well-known spinoff game]] and [[TransplantedCharacterFic change the setting and characters]] to reflect the author's interests? Something close to the lines of this story.

[[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003 Beast Boy]], saddened by the events of the episode "[[Recap/TeenTitansS5E13ThingsChange Things Change]]", finds his life tumbling down and in a fit of depression, runs away from Titan Tower and quits the Titans. Shortly after this, a black hole opens up in space and starts to suck in Earth, as well as other galaxies. As this is happening, Jump City is attacked by three villains, all of whom serve a higher power: Count Logan.

After a brush with the three minions, the Titans are shocked to learn from the ComicBook/DoomPatrol that Beast Boy was killed. Thus begins a struggle between the Titans and Count Logan, who plans on destroying the entire galaxy with the help of an AncientArtifact forged by Trigon known as the Dark Prognosticus.

''The End of Ends'' is a fanfic written by Creator/DakariKingMykan, known most infamously for ''Fanfic/MyBravePonyStarfleetMagic''. It's both made in WebAnimation format as well as a FanFiction adaptation where the story has a FramingDevice wherein an AlternateUniverse Terra and Beast Boy see the events. The first part of the Web Animation can be watched [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDYDLLwq2-g here]], the original fanfic (called "Things Change & The End?" there) can be read [[http://www.mediaminer.org/fanfic/view_st.php?id=163552&submit=View here]], the updated fanfic (called "Musical: The End of Ends" there) can be read [[http://www.deviantart.com/art/Musical-The-End-Of-Ends-559602314 here]] and the fanfic that crosses over with ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/390095/friendship-is-failure-10--teen-titans-the-end-of-ends there]]. There is also a sequel story called ''The End of Ends II'', which can be read [[https://www.deviantart.com/dakari-king-mykan/art/Musical-The-End-of-Ends-II-562386994 here]]. The page will mostly refer to the videos, however.

----
!!The End of Ends has the following tropes:
* AccusationFic: The story calls out the Titans, Patrol, and Terra for all the "wrongdoings" they've done to Beast Boy. Mykan even has a name for this kind of fic: "Punishment Fics".
* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: Beast Boy in the original show was never this angsty about getting rejected by Terra or in general.
* AdaptationalNameChange: Jacqueline Hyde in the original written version, Kamica in every version since.
* AmplifierArtifact: The Light Prognosticus.
* AnAesop: You can never truly change who you are, and even if you ''do'' change, you are who you are and that can't change.
* ArcWords: "Things change, Beast Boy. The girl you want me to be is just a memory."
* ArtifactOfDoom: The Dark Prognosticus.
* BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork: [[spoiler:Dr. Beljar makes it really easy for the Titans to not kill Beast Boy, since he takes over control of the Dark Prognosticus, and it's required that whoever controls the Prognosticus must die in order to close the void. This arguably ends up being a moot point, though, when Beast Boy dies anyway from injuries sustained in the battle.]]
* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: ''Everyone'' in this story can breathe in space.
%%* BeamOWar: Count Logan and [[spoiler:Terra]] engage in one.
* BigBad: Count Logan [[spoiler:at first, then he gets replaced by Beljar]].
* BigNo: Starfire gives one off when Tamaran is blown up.
* BittersweetEnding: The fic [[{{pun}} ends]] with Terra returning to being a Titan, the universe being saved from the destructive powers of the Dark Prognosticus, and Count Logan finally coming to his senses and redeeming himself. [[spoiler:However, his injuries got too much for him and he died, which caused the Titans to feel bummed because Count Logan was really Beast Boy.]]
%%* BreathWeapon: Medeva and [[spoiler:Beast Boy's dragon form]].
* CanonForeigner: Kamica was created by one of Mykan's fans.
* ChekhovsSkill: {{Subverted}}. You'd ''think'' [[ThatRemindsMeOfASong Beast Boy's Magic Voices]] might be the reason for [[spoiler:why he sounds so different as Count Logan]], but it's revealed that [[spoiler:the mask simply disguised his voice]].
* CoverBlowingSuperpower: Terra still has her powers, but is unable to use them during the minions' attack, lest she reveal her identity.
* CyberneticsEatYourSoul: Dr. Beljar {{invoke|d trope}}s this trope [[spoiler:when he takes over, since the condition for the Dark Prognosticus is to have an empty heart]].
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Beast Boy explains his past to Terra to justify just why he felt depressed after she dumped him. Subverted in that he exaggerates it to the point that he's convinced nobody, not even the Doom Patrol or other Titans, likes him or ever treated him well. [[spoiler:Later, it's used to justify his destruction of the universes.]]
* DeathByDespair: [[spoiler:How Beast Boy gains the Dark Prognosticus's power. In the original, it's by [[DrivenToSuicide committing suicide]]; in the rewrite, the book appears after he drops over the DespairEventHorizon and kills him.]]
* DecoyProtagonist: The story focuses on Beast Boy for a while before he runs away and gets killed. Then it focuses on the Titans and Doom Patrol.
* DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler:Beast Boy crosses it sometime after running away, which prompts the Dark Prognosticus to come and lend him his power.]]
* DisappearsIntoLight: How the written prose version ends for [[spoiler:Beast Boy]].
* DrivenToSuicide: Count Logan's plan is to [[spoiler:essentially destroy all the universes and himself]]. Why? [[DisproportionateRetribution Because he got dumped and thinks nobody likes him due to perceived insults from everybody]] and decided that if he can't be happy, ''no one'' can.
* EasilyForgiven: Logan's sob story about how crappy his life has been and how Terra dumped him somehow is enough to earn the Titans' forgiveness after he went all OmnicidalManiac on them. [[spoiler:Granted, the fact that he died probably helps a little, but still.]]
%%* EleventhHourRanger: [[spoiler:Terra after she decides to become a hero and try to save Beast Boy. She then becomes one for the Titans]].
* EnergyWeapon: Kamica's sword shoots lasers.
* EntitledToHaveYou: Beast Boy seems to think that his sad past and hard work as a hero are why he should have Terra.
* EvilIsPetty: Count Logan. Being dumped by one girl and thinking everyone's against you are [[DisproportionateRetribution somewhat petty motives]] for [[spoiler:''destroying all of existence'']].
* EvilVersusOblivion: [[spoiler:This is why Dr. Beljar betrayed Count Logan. He realized that Count Logan would not fulfill the promise made to his minions and that he'd just leave the universe in ruin due to his suicidal tendencies, thus he plots to backstab Count Logan, take the Prognoticus, and remake the world himself.]]
* {{Expy}}: Because of the WholePlotReference to ''VideoGame/SuperPaperMario'', the villains are expies of the villains of that game.
** Count Logan has Count Bleck's hat and backstory [[spoiler:albeit less impactful and despairing as Bleck's]]. He also shares Slade's mask, though chromed. Speaking of Slade, [[spoiler:he also shares the notion of using his real name as an alias]].
** His three minions are expies of Bleck's own minions and named after some of the goons from ''Series/WhereInTimeIsCarmenSandiego''. Kamica and Madeva are ones to Starfire and Raven respectively.
** Dr. Beljar is one of Dimentio. [[spoiler:Knowing this, Beljar backstabbing Logan was pretty obvious]].
** Aside from the ''Super Paper Mario'' reference, there's also Copycat, whose powers are reflective of Beast Boy's ability to shift into any animal. [[spoiler:It is it any wonder he basically becomes a ReplacementGoldfish for him when he dies?]]
* FakingAmnesia: Terra did so in "Things Change" and sacrificed her relationship with Beast Boy to live a normal life. This is treated as worse than Logan causing mass murder.
* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: Beast Boy gets killed and we see a picture of his corpse, in which there's been a hole blown through his chest. There's also Galfore, who gets blown to ashes (or rather Windows Movie Maker Shatter effected to death).
* FixFic: What this essentially is, with the thing being fixed being Terra herself, and her relationship with Beast Boy.
* FlatCharacter: Like with his [[Fanfic/MyBravePonyStarfleetMagic other (in)famous work]], Mykan firmly believes that characters hold back the plot, and thus everyone is flat as cardboard.
** Count Logan is evil because Terra dumped him and perceived slights from other people, which also made him hate change in general. That's it.
** Dr. Beljar is [[TheStarscream traitorous]]. That's it.
** The rest of Logan's minions are evil [[spoiler:before having a last-minute HeelFaceTurn]]. That's it.
** Terra doesn't want to be a Teen Titan, [[spoiler:but becomes one again]]. That's it.
** Copy Cat is a shapeshifter and keeper of the Light Prognosticus. He also [[spoiler:permanently joins the Teen Titans after Beast Boy kicks it]]. That's it.
** [[InformedFlaw The rest of the Teen Titans and the Doom Patrol are ungrateful to Beast Boy]] and learn that their actions were wrong. That's it.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Attempted at Chapter 6, though by that point it stopped being foreshadowing and became a CaptainObviousReveal[[invoked]].
* FramingDevice: Two different ones, depending on the version. Both have older Titans, with Beast Boy and Terra as a married couple, as well as Robin and Starfire. The original has all the older Titans making use of a what-if machine at the home of a mad scientist, heavily foreshadowing some of the later plot points (if it can even be called foreshadowing). The updated fic has Terra and Beast Boy on their own, seeing the story through a magical fire in a Navajo town after helping the others take down Slade. This version is ''slightly'' better at not spoiling future plot developments.
* GreaterScopeVillain: Trigon created the Dark Prognosticus, thus giving rise to Logan's power.
* GreenEyedMonster: The reason why the first planet Count Logan destroys is Tamaran? [[spoiler:Beast Boy is angry that Starfire and Robin are in a happy relationship whilst he and Terra broke up.]]
* GuestStarPartyMember: The Doom Patrol become this for the run of the story.
* HeroicSacrifice: Count Logan's minions [[spoiler:hold down Beljar to allow the heroes to land the final blow. Why? Because they trust Logan so much that they're willing to give their lives for him]].
* {{Hypocrite}}:
** Beast Boy calls out the other Titans for not being grateful to him for all the nice things he's done but he himself never shows gratitude to them for taking him in, being his friends, and trying to figure out what's troubling him, going so far as [[SelfServingMemory to ignore all that in favour of all the moments they were mad at him]].
** His biggest point of contention is that he's upset about things changing... Not only does he cause almost irreversible changes as Count Logan, but even tries to change the status quo of his own team by running away.
* IdiotBall: You wanna know how bad the CaptainObviousReveal[[invoked]] is? In Beast Boy's letter to the Titans, he lists his true name: [[FirstEpisodeTwist Garfield]] ''Logan''. And no one, not even Beast Boy's ''former'' group, The Doom Patrol, managed to figure out Count ''Logan'''s true identity.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: This gets subverted and possibly {{deconstructed}} depending on how you see it. [[spoiler:Terra's]] decision to lead a normal life drove Beast Boy over the edge and [[spoiler:caused him to gain a SuperpoweredEvilSide simply because the only person who actually liked him dumped him and of perceived slights from other people.]] When the former finds out what her actions of trying to be normal caused, not to mention the whole [[ApocalypseHow void thing]] going on, it made her reconsider her decision.
* InformedAbility: We're only told of what Copy Cat could do, and outside of his namesake ability to change into anyone he touches, we never see his abilities get used.
* InternalReveal: Because of CaptainObviousReveal[[invoked]], TheReveal for Count Logan's true identity was rendered into this.
* IronicEcho: [[spoiler:Beast Boy, after being revealed, throws Terra's line, "Things change... the person you want me to be is no more." back in her face]].
* ItsAllAboutMe: CanonDefilement[[invoked]] or not, you can pretty much tell Beast Boy has become this. Simply because the world doesn't bend backwards to his every whim, romantically in the case of Terra, he lashes out at everyone.
* JerkassRealization: After Beast Boy leaves his resignation letter behind, the other Teen Titans regret how they treated him in response to his behaviour following being rejected by Terra. Unfortunately, it's too late for them to make amends and [[FromBadToWorse things get much worse]].
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: What essentially happens to Beast Boy in this fic, [[spoiler:almost literally.]] He goes from being a creep to [[spoiler:''destroying the entire universe'' after he dies and reincarnates into Count Logan.]]
* KillItWithFire: Medeva, doubling as a BreathWeapon.
* LoopholeAbuse: The condition of being able to use the Dark Prognosticus is to have an empty heart and have never found true happiness. [[spoiler:A cybernetic heart's essentially the same as an empty heart... Though it's unsaid how Beljar managed to fulfill the latter part]].
* MaddenIntoMisanthropy: Beast Boy, albeit for significantly more petty reasons than the norm. Because the entire world doesn't bend over backwards for him and Terra doesn't want to hook up, he thinks the entire world is out to get him and that his friends don't actually care and turns antisocial [[spoiler:and later omnicidal]] as a result.
* MagicalNativeAmerican: In the updated version, one tells Terra and Beast Boy what would have happened if they hadn't gotten back together, setting off this fic's plot via FramingDevice.
* {{MST}}: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/lb_i.php?lb_id=13877569010B15048000 One for the videos,]] [[https://web.archive.org/web/20170717071627/http://www.projectafterforums.com/index.php?showtopic=1464 one for the fic]] [[https://web.archive.org/web/20170717071215/http://www.projectafterforums.com/index.php?showtopic=3470 and one for the sequel!]]
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: The Titans, Doom Patrol and Terra have this reaction upon finding out about Beast Boy's death. [[spoiler:And soon Count Logan's true identity]].
* NestedStoryReveal: The original version had this at the end: [[spoiler:the entire story, FramingDevice and all, was actually a result of Dr. Von-Richter testing out the "What-If-Machine" on himself, wondering what would have happened if he'd invited the Titans over to test it out with him.]]
* NeverMyFault: Beast Boy claims that the Titans never even once tried to help, even though they tried to figure out what's wrong with him at the start only to be purposely ignored. [[SarcasmMode Great]]. Also, the narration indicates that the Titans and Terra are somehow to blame for Beast Boy stalking the latter, breaking into Raven's room, [[spoiler:deciding to go omnicidal, etc]].
* OnlyTheChosenMayWield: The Dark Prognosticus can only be used by those whose hearts are filled with extreme hatred.
* OriginsEpisode: There's one for Count Logan in Chapter 11.
%%* PlotRelevantAgeUp: [[spoiler:Beast Boy undergoes one after being possessed by the Dark Prognosticus]].
* ThePowerOfLove: Terra realizes who Count Logan really is and how her actions caused his rise to power. She then devotes herself to saving him because deep down, she loves him. This allows her to tap into the powers of the Light Prognosticus and overpower Count Logan... [[spoiler:It gets subverted though. All that she managed to do was roughen him up. Had it not been for TheStarscream, Logan wouldn't have changed. It's only when he is mortally wounded that he began to redeem and not even the Power of Love was able to save him]].
* ProtagonistCenteredMorality: Beast Boy is the protagonist, so his horrible behavior towards Terra and other Titans as well as trying to destroy the universe out of pettiness are completely justified. The other Titans and Doom Patrol are unsympathetic to Count Logan until he reveals his true identity and explains his tragic backstory, at which point they all suddenly feel sympathetic to him even as he continues to angrily rant at them.
* PutThemAllOutOfMyMisery: Count Logan has... issues to work out. By taking it out on the entire universe, and ''especially'' the Titans and Terra.
%%* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:Logan and his minions sans Beljar]].
* RevengeFic: WordOfGod[[invoked]] specially mentioned that the story was essentially a revenge story straight from his own desk and even justifying the destruction of Tamaran by saying it's revenge for Starfire and Robin's relationship. It's also, oddly enough, one directed at Beast Boy for not hooking up with Terra.
%%* ScaledUp: [[spoiler:Count Logan once Dr. Beljar takes over]].
* ShockAndAwe: Sir Vile has electrical-based powers.
* ShoutOut:
** Too many to count, though for starters, as the top mentioned, the opening line came from ''WesternAnimation/CorpseBride''.
** As the destruction of the universe nears, Logan makes a reference to Edgar's "It won't matter... in a few minutes, you won't even ''be'' matter." line from the first ''Film/MenInBlack'' film.
** After writing his resignation letter, Beast Boy spills soda on the paper and writes a PS stating that the Titans should consider it to be tear stains. This was an attempt to play a joke from ''Series/{{Alf}}'' for drama.
** Count Logan's minions seem to have their names based around characters from Franchise/CarmenSandiego. The most common of them is Sir Vile and Dr. Beljar from ''Series/WhereInTimeIsCarmenSandiego''. Sir Vile also apparently used to be [[WesternAnimation/Ben10 a Forever Knight]].
* SixthRanger: Copy Cat, though in the sense of him being a GuestStarPartyMember. [[spoiler:He gets promoted to a more permanent position after Beast Boy kicks it]].
* SongFic: Each song is taken from various sources, from ''Series/WhereInTimeIsCarmenSandiego'' to ''WesternAnimation/{{The Little Mermaid|1989}}'', and butchered to fit the fic.
* SpaceWhaleAesop: It had to take an OmnicidalManiac who was destroying the universe to hammer it into Terra's head that you can't change who you are.
* SpoilerTitle: Chapter [[FourIsDeath 4]] shows the planet Tamaran blowing up. The title? "The End of [[RougeAnglesOfSatin Tameran!]]"
* StalkerWithACrush: Despite being rejected by Terra, Beast Boy can't seem to stay away from her.
* TheStarscream: [[spoiler:Dr. Beljar eventually betrays Logan and takes control of the Dark Prognosticus.]] Not that it's hard to see coming, since he monologues about it whenever no one else's listening.
* StartOfDarkness: The first two chapters, as well as a chunk of Chapter 11, essentially illustrate Count Logan's rise.
* StatusQuoIsGod: Zigzagged. [[spoiler:While Earth has been restored, Terra goes back to being a Teen Titan, and all the new villains are quickly killed off all at the same time, Beast Boy ends up dying and Copy Cat takes his place]].
* StrawNihilist: Count Logan is of this mindset, given him frequently dismissing everything as "meaningless" and seeking to destroy the universe.
* SuicidalCosmicTemperTantrum: Count Logan plans to destroy the entire universe and himself as well. [[spoiler:His reasons for doing so are [[DisproportionateRetribution because of Terra dumping him and wanting to live a normal life away from him]], [[ItsAllAboutMe everyone (supposedly) not caring about him, and generally people being happy while he isn't.]]]]
* SupermanStaysOutOfGotham: Count Logan goes around destroying various planets, including Starfire's home world, and yet the only team to get involved other than the Teen Titans are the Doom Patrol and not, say, the Franchise/GreenLantern Corps.
%%* SuperpoweredEvilSide: Count Logan is this for Beast Boy.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: While he looks like Robin and has the psychic powers of Raven, Copy Cat's namesake ability, to copy the forms of others, is reminiscent of the missing Beast Boy. [[spoiler:Guess what happens once Beast Boy is KilledOffForReal]].
* TheTapeKnewYouWouldSayThat: Beast Boy's resignation letter to the Titans.
-->'''Starfire''': ''(reading Beast Boy's letter aloud)'' "You do not even reflect on all the good deeds and nicer things I have done for you in the past."
-->'''[[DeadpanSnarker Raven]]''': What nice things?\\
'''Starfire''': ''(continues reading)'' "Tell Raven to ''take that back.''"
* ThatManIsDead: Terra's saying this in the [[Recap/TeenTitansS5E13ThingsChange last episode of Teen Titans]] is referenced from time to time. Beast Boy, who has gone insane from being rejected by Terra and has become Count Logan, [[spoiler:throws Terra's line back in her face when she realizes who Count Logan is, as this is also a WholePlotReference to ''VideoGame/SuperPaperMario'', where Count Logan plays Count Bleck's role]].
* ThatRemindsMeOfASong: What Beast Boy's Magic Voices are essentially.
* UngratefulBastard: The fic tries to convince us that the Teen Titans are this, as noted in TheTapeKnewYouWouldSayThat. However, Beast Boy fits the bill better as he does not care that Terra is no longer a statue, he only cares about the fact that she doesn't want to be with him. Also, he never displays gratitude toward the Doom Patrol or the other Titans for taking him in, he only wangsts about their getting cross with and teasing him the way true friends do.
%%* VoodooShark:
* WhamEpisode: The fic has two. The first being Episode 9, where Count Logan reveals his true identity (provided the audience doesn't guess beforehand) to the Titans and the other in Episode 12, where [[spoiler:Dr. Beljar backstabs Count Logan and becomes the BigBad]].
* WhatTheHellHero: Beast Boy gets this a lot from the other Titans in the first two chapters for doing things like stalking one school girl to raiding Raven's room to downright beating up two school girls.
** Beast Boy (or rather, Count Logan) later gives this to the other Titans and the Doom Patrol (sans [[TeamMom Elasti-Girl]]) for not supporting him or acknowledging his good deeds, and again, since it's ''that'' kind of fic, he's the one portrayed in the right. And the Titans don't even try to argue with him.
* WholePlotReference: This is one for ''VideoGame/SuperPaperMario''.
* WhyDidYouMakeMeHitYou: [[spoiler:Logan/Beast Boy pulls this on the Titans and ''especially'' Terra by guilt-tripping them with the belief that their mistreatment drove him to omnicidal rage.]]
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Beast Boy falls for the power of [[TomeOfEldritchLore the Dark Prognosticus]] and tries to [[OmnicidalManiac destroy the universe]]. His motivation for doing so is because he can't take life anymore after Terra does not want to come back to the team, following the ending of the show.
* YouExclamation: When talking to Count Logan in one chapter, Terra exclaims "You!".
