History FanFic / TheBitternessTrilogy

The story sometimes has cheesy writing and contains a lot of homage from StarWars, but as a whole, is a wonderful story and should tug at your heartstrings and/or tear ducts at ''least'' once.

The first story, entitled '''The Bitterness of Phineas Flynn''', opens with a usual day on the job, the boys go on a mission to stop Doof, his minion Platyborg show up, etc., etc. Unfortunately, Doofenshmirtz had plans on revenge that day and was prepared for them. After being knocked of a high platform, [[spoiler:Ferb dies [[DiedInYourArmsTonight in Phineas's arms]],]] and Phineas swears to avenge him.

The second story, '''The Bitterness of Candace Flynn''', though significantly shorter, is just as good, if not better than the first. It opens with a FlashBack to a the day tho boy's parents and sister get captured by Doofenshmirtz's minions. We get no indication as to where the parents are, but we ''do'' know that Candace joins the dark side. Back in present day, [[StrictlyFormula on another usual day on the job]], [[spoiler:the boys discover Candace has become fully evil.]] And everything just gets cooler from there.

The third and final story, '''The Bitterness of the Empire''', concludes the series with a bang. A new character, Phineas's [[LongLostRelative long-lost uncle]], Phineas Phoebus Flynn, is introduced, battles are fought, tears are shed, lives are lost ([[spoiler:Though, thankfully, none of them are characters we know]]), and Phineas [[spoiler:[[DrivenToSuicide tries to commit suicide]] ]]. Yeah, you heard me right. We won't tell you why, though.

** Another line ("Minions, assemble!") is from [[WesternAnimation/DespicableMe Despicable Me]].
