History BookEnds / FanWorks

* The ''Literature/HarryPotter'' FanFic ''Fanfic/AfterTheEnd'' begins and ends with a group hug surrounding Harry. Everyone is in a dark room, lit by a bluebell flame, which someone kicks out.
* [[http://hetalia-kink.livejournal.com/11411.html?thread=23130003#t23130003 This]] ''Manga/AxisPowersHetalia'' USUK kink meme fill about a bulimic Arthur/England starts with 'He felt cold', and ends with "Alfred," he murmured as he nodded to sleep, [[IronicEcho "You're warm."]]

* ''FanFic/MyLittleAvengers'' begins and ends on Big Mac's birthday.

* ''FanFic/AdventCrossoverCrisis'' begins and ends with narration from VideoGame/SlyCooper, both times discussing how everyone goes through very strange lengths of time, even relative to how strange their life usually is. To a lesser extent, the first and last line of spoken dialogue are both said by ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}.
* ''FanFic/CrossedPaths'': [[spoiler:Upon returning to their own worlds, [[Franchise/IndianaJones Indy]] and [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic the mane six]] find themselves in the areas where they disappeared, and presumably [[WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack Jack]] did as well (though his scene starts a while after he returns to his world, so we don't know for sure).]]
* ''{{Fanfic/Anthropology}}'': "Are you gonna eat that?"

* ''[[FanFic/RealityChecksNyxverse Alicornundrum]]'': A mild example, but both the first and last chapters feature an alicorn angsting over [[WhoWantsToLiveForever outliving a loved one]] [[spoiler: right before said loved one ascends]].

* ''Fanfic/NecessaryToWin''
** The first fic begins and ends with a few paragraphs of narration worded in a way that can apply to either [[Anime/GirlsUndPanzer Miho]] or {{Manga/Saki}}. The beginning of the story talks about why they came to dislike tankery and why they're returning to it, while the end talks about the results and what awaits them in the future.

* The Fanfic/TriptychContinuum installment "Unstable Sale", detailing the [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Cutie Mark Crusaders']] attempt to fund their next scheme by selling off the remains of their previous crusades, opens with the line "The Crusade had a cost, and Apple Bloom was no longer able to pay." It ends on the same line [[spoiler:after the combination of looking over all of their failures, being confronted by countless ponies who have been harmed by their single-mindedness, and realizing how long it has been going on drives Apple Bloom to renounce the Crusade and try to actually think about her future]].

* Lila's arc in ''FanFic/MissingMiraculousLadybug'' is tied up this way. It's noted that when she first arrived at College Francoise Dupont, she was surrounded by rumors and speculation as the mysterious NewTransferStudent. She departs in much the same fashion, only the rumors swirling round her now are much less pleasant. Rather than whispering about her supposed connections to [[CelebrityLie celebrities and famous figures]], everyone's gossiping about her potential connections to Marinette's disappearance, [[GossipEvolution wildly speculating]] that she might be involved in ''human trafficking'' and other horrific endeavors. She's still the center of attention, just like [[AttentionWhore she's always wanted]]... but without any of the ''admiration'' she desired.

* ''Theatre/AVeryPotterMusical'' begins with the musical number "Gotta Get Back To Hogwarts." Fast forward to the end of the sequel, when [[Creator/DarrenCriss Harry]] finishes a moving speech and the whole cast breaks into song. Guess what they sing?
** ''Theatre/AVeryPotterSeniorYear'' uses a slower, more sentimental version of the song for its final scene

* [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/109581/1/i-did-not-want-to-die/i-did-not-want-to-die I Did Not Want To Die]] begins with an enemy solider being shot and concludes with the protagonist being shot.
* [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6986589/1/Rolling-Blackouts Rolling Blackouts]] starts and ends with Shinji and Asuka snuggling underneath a blanket during a black-out.

* [[http://hetalia-kink.livejournal.com/11411.html?thread=23130003#t23130003 This]] ''Manga/AxisPowersHetalia'' USUK kink meme fill about a bulimic Arthur/England starts with 'He felt cold', and ends with '“Alfred,” he murmured as he nodded to sleep, [[IronicEcho “YouÂ’re warm.”]]'

* A FanVid by snakey973 called [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjjsLZjy1j4 X-Files // bones]] focusing on Scully's personality starts and ends with Mulder and Scully looking at a blue origami bird. It's quite sublime and beautiful.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' fanfic, ''Fanfic/CourtneyAndTheViolinOfDespair'', the first and last chapters of the story proper (i.e. excluding the prologue) are very similar. Both chapters end with Courtney receiving a [[ArtifactOfDeath cursed violin]] (the [[MacguffinTitle Violin of Despair]] in the first chapter, and the [[HereWeGoAgain Violin of Doom]] in the last) as a [[ItWasAGift birthday gift]] from her parents, and the [[SoulJar spirit inhabiting the violin]] contemplating [[SequelHook CourtneyÂ’s fate]].

* ''Fanfic/WhereTalentGoesToDie'' begins with Kaori Miura waking up in a classroom in Talent High School with Sae Edogawa nearby, at which point Edogawa shows her the locked front door and then takes her to where everyone else is waiting. At the end of the fic, Miura and Edogawa go back to that same classroom for a private conversation and a kiss, then meet up with their remaining friends and head to the entrance, so they can leave the school for good.

* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13357189/1/The-Gatekeeper The Gatekeeper'', begins with the sentence, "[[OriginalCharacter Masaki Matsuda]] was on cloud nine," since she's proud of herself for getting into [[Manga/MyHeroAcademia U.A. Academy]], unaware that Aizawa will expel her entire class (she got in a year after Mirio and a year before Izuku). The final scene says that "Masaki was on cloud nine once again," having started at a new high school, and recently gotten her provisional hero license.

* The first comic of ''ComicBook/SonicTheComic'' is ''Enter: Sonic''. The last comic in the continuity, written by Nigel Kitching himself, is ''Webcomic/SonicTheComicOnline'''s DistantFinale ''Exit: Sonic''.

She knew this." And the final ones are "[[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments Cinder Fall was a wife and mother. She knew this.]]"

* ''Fanfic/TheManyDatesOfDannyFenton'' (''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' WesternAnimation, [[{{Series}} TV Series]], and ComicBooks.): Danny's first and last dates are a redhead with green eyes he's constantly shipped with in other fanfictions. They both end up being dates he enjoys his time with the most.

* Music/TheLivingTombstone's "VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys Song" starts with the Toreador march. "I Got No Time", the VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys4 Song, and Tombstone's last FNAF song entirely, ends with the Toreador march.

* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/13481223?view_full_work=true Powerless]]'' begins with Logan's statement of how people like them (Logan, Virgil, and Patton) are statistical anomalies. The story ends with Logan's statement of how a turnout of over 200,000 people showing up to their protest march is a statistical anomaly. Even some of the characters that were there in the beginning (the man with red eyes, the snake-haired girl and her friend) are there at the march.
