*In the [[Franchise/DanganRonpa Danganronpa]] fanfic ''Fanfic/FracturedFates'', Chapter 2 puts Asuna Izumi through quite a bit of torment. [[spoiler:It all starts when her best friend and [[CoolBigSis older sister figure]] Kaneki Tenmaru is found murdered, and Asuna herself is the first one to find her body. Then, through a series of bad decisions and being in the wrong place at the wrong time, she finds herself as the prime suspect in the murder. It gets to the point where she is nearly convicted as the blackened, only saved through [[TheProtagonist Hana's]] unwavering belief in her innocence. As if that wasn't traumatic enough, evidence reveals that Kaneki was not the killer's intended victim- it was ''Asuna'' whom the killer was targeting. Not only did Kaneki find out about this, but she attempted to thwart the killer's plan and was murdered as a result, essentially [[HeroicSacrifice taking Asuna's place as the victim.]] Finally, the end of the trial reveals that Kaneki had been living with an immense amount of guilt and sadness stemming from an incident in her [[DarkAndTroubledPast past,]] something that Asuna was completely unaware of despite being Kaneki's closest friend.]] Needless to say, it's hard to wonder why Asuna [[SanitySlippage loses it]] somewhat come Chapter 3.

* In ''Fanfic/ThievesCanBeHeroes'', poor Izuku has it rough. He grew up as the only Quirkless kid among his peers, who were all quick to mock him and stomp all over his dreams of becoming a hero like All Might, leaving him without a single person to call a friend after his neighbor Makoto moved away. Just weeks before the U.A. Entrance Exam, he tries to help a woman who was in the middle of being raped by a drunken man, only for said woman to turn on him and accuse ''him'' of assaulting her. Not only does this saddle him with a criminal record, but the trial also makes him miss the entrance exam, denying him any hope of becoming a hero. Then he's sent away to live with a complete stranger for a year while serving out his probation. Izuku's new guardian doesn't hesitate to tell him that he doesn't care about Izuku one bit and Izuku's teachers at his new school all treat him like the lowest scum on Earth. Then he's accidentally sucked into the Metaverse, bludgeoned into unconsciousness, and nearly executed by monsters. After all this, he discovers that his new criminal record has been leaked to the student body. His classmates proceed to vilify and spread rumors about him at every turn.

* In ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/5710513/chapters/13155583 Renegades]]'' Oliver, Laurel, Nyssa, and Constantine try to restore Sara's soul and are preyed on by astral parasites that force them to see their worst fears/insecurities. Laurel is truly put through the ringer, in short order: preisland!Oliver throws his infidelity in her face and mockingly tells her "you were never enough for me"; her father brings up her addiction issues (she's clean currently for the record) and curses "I can’t believe I had to lose Sara and keep you”; her mother brings up her addiction issues too and dismisses her as a failure; Tommy blames her for his death, ''also'' brings up her addition, calls her an InadequateInheritor to Sara, TheLoad to her friends, and reminds her of the night [[spoiler:she contemplated suicide, and encourages her to finish the job this time]]. Interestingly, she's able to bounce back fairly quickly once they successfully restore Sara's soul, but Oliver is deeply troubled by it (he saw everything the parasites put her through), recognizing just how much he failed her.

** The ''[[http://dance-the-code.livejournal.com/2029.html Conference Wives]]'' series in ''Series/NUMB3RS'' fandom. The author has Charlie Eppes having a child with lesbians he knew from grad school, except he rarely gets to see his son for the first few years of his life because they live on the East Coast and are paranoid about homophobic reactions from Charlie's parents, since their own parents reacted that way when they each came out. One of the mothers dies in a car crash orchestrated by her father, who runs a hate group; the other mother was in the car at the time and is heavily implied to have been beaten to death by the father's hate group cronies. Alan has a homophobic freak out (which is OOC for him & therefore purely inserted for its BreakTheCutie angst value). Charlie is kidnapped and tortured by Marshall Penfield ''twice'', including being raped by him and having a Pi symbol carved into his back. And the author does all this with Charlie suffering almost none of the psychological damage that this would inflict and what damage is done seems to resolve itself in nothing flat. A definite Result F scenario.

Added DiffLines:
* Gladstone Gander experiences this in one episode of DuckTales, and experiences it again (in backstory) in the fanfic drabble ''[[Fanfic/LittleBro Little Brother]]''.
* Used for a few chapters in the ''Disney/ThePrincessAndTheFrog'' fanfiction ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6160652/10/A_Son_For_A_King A Son for a King]]''. Charlotte's banker husband demands sex from Tiana in exchange for giving her a loan and for not asking for the money back, and when she refuses, he tells Charlotte that Tiana tried to bribe him with sex so as not to have to pay back the loan. Charlotte then goes to Tiana's house and yells at her, and breaks off their friendship. Tiana's mother then persuades her to go on a date with a man she has no attraction to, and on the date, he is stabbed by racists and has to be taken to the hospital by Tiana where it turns out he has lied about his name, as well as the fact that he is married to a woman who then arrives at the hospital and chases Tiana around the hospital room, calling her a tramp and screaming at her for sleeping with her husband (which she didn't do). Once she gets back to her mother's house, it's revealed that her house and restaurant have been set on fire by the Ku Klux Klan. She then collapses on the floor, yelling, "I've been a good person my entire life. I followed all the rules. Why do these things keep happening to me?" It's all quite [[{{Narm}} hilarious]].
* The ''{{Series/Firefly}}'' fanfic ''Fanfic/{{Forward}}'' does this to most of the crew, ''especially'' for River. Aside from being [[spoiler: kidnapped and tortured by Niska,]] she's also [[spoiler: undergone multiple mental breakdowns due to her insanity, she's been nearly eaten by Reavers]], and [[spoiler: has been repeatedly {{Mind Rape}}d by another psychic escapee from the Academy]]. Not a single "episode" in the story passes without River being repeatedly punched in the gut.
* The ''Manga/DeathNote'' postseries fanfic arc ''Redeemer'' by [[http://anime.adultfanfiction.net/authors.php?no=1296867228 CocoaCoveredGods]] lays this on Light ''like woah''. Being stripped of his identity as Kira was only the beginning- so far, he's been [[spoiler:killed multiple times, buried alive, tortured, raped (again, multiple times), suffered two mental breakdowns and been attacked by an axe-wielding psychopath in a scene that even L found difficult to look at the aftermath of.]] And some of this at the hands of people he loves. [[spoiler:It's no wonder he's a gibbering wreck by the start of the fourth fic.]]
** So does [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3529129/1/True_Elision ''True Elision'']] by Ezan, another post-series fanfic. Having been given a second chance to [[spoiler: have a proper afterlife]] and avoid being transformed in a Shinigami, Light is forced to face a [[NintendoHard Trial from hell]] and battle his worst nightmares (which include [[spoiler:being torn apart by the thousands of people he directly killed with their bare hands [[AndIMustScream while being unable to move]] and having a handful of hair forcefully shoved down his throat. Multiple times. [[BalefulPolymorph And]] [[RapeAsDrama that's]] [[IncestIsRelative just]] [[HumiliationConga the]] [[NauseaFuel first level]]...]]).
* This is [[BigBad Deadlock's]] intention in ''FanFic/TheLegendOfSpyroANewDawn''. She intends to inflict one on Spyro and Cynder because she suffered one that she blames them for. Her own included having her mate and unborn children killed in front of her and [[spoiler:apparently having her adult children killed by Dark Cynder.]]
* The ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' ZombieApocalypse fanfiction ''FanFic/RespawnOfTheDead'' tortures just about ''every'' member of the team, but a special mention has to be given to TheMedic. Over the course of the fic, he [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown gets the crap beaten out of him]] by The Soldier, [[spoiler: has to leave [[BuryYourGays The Heavy]] behind to be devoured by zombies]], and after recovering from the {{Heroic BSOD}} caused by ''that'', he has to MercyKill his MoralityPet, [[spoiler:the Pyro]]. [[TheWoobie Yeah]].
* ''Fanfic/FalloutEquestria'' is no picnic for its protagonist Littlepip--continually shot at (she isn't nicknamed "[[FanNickname Bulletsponge]]" for nothing), had friends die on her, the works. But its side fics ''Fanfic/FalloutEquestriaProjectHorizons'' and ''Heroes'' extend the Line even further.
* ''Fanfic/AceCombatTheEquestrianWar'' has Firefly, who had a [[DoomedHometown pretty]] [[DeceasedParentsAreTheBest rough]] [[BreakTheCutie childhood]], to say the least.
** Then, there is what Derpy [[AdultFear undergoes]] [[DiedInYourArmsTonight through the whole]] [[TheWoobie war]].
* ''FanFic/ImperfectMetamorphosis'' has [[spoiler:Rin Satsuki]], whose backstory ''starts'' with being kidnapped as a child by slavers and only gets worse from there. Over the course of the story itself she is attacked, brutalized, betrayed, at one point [[spoiler:her mind is literally ''shattered'']], and nearly everyone in Gensoukyou wants her dead. It is no mystery whatsoever that [[spoiler:she becomes a DeathSeeker.]]
* ''[[Fanfic/DeliverUsFromEvilSeries Mortality]]'' (and its series as a whole) is one long trauma conga line for Franchise/SherlockHolmes. Right from the prologue, we know that he's in ''major'' trouble, then we go back in time a month or so to find out how he gets to this point. Starts out by getting infected with a mutation of a deadly Asian disease, which is only cured ''just'' in time (though not before putting him through a stomach-churning conversation with a SerialKiller and getting himself in trouble with [[TheWatson his best friend]]). Less than a week later, he's kidnapped ([[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown quite brutally]]) and LockedInTheDungeon, therefore being subjected to all manner of ColdBloodedTorture. He almost hits the DespairEventHorizon but [[{{Determinator}} wills himself away from it]]. Even ''after'' being rescued (while half-dead), Holmes deals with fever, frailty, [[FlashbackNightmare Flashback Nightmares]], [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers and]] SurvivorGuilt. He ends up with a Result A, although his actions in the sequel do beg the question of just how well he learned his lessons.
* Another Sherlockian example is ''Fanfic/AStudyInRegret''. First, Holmes watches as [[HeroKiller Moran]] [[KilledOffForReal shoots]] [[TheWatson Watson]]; next, he's LockedInTheDungeon and subjected to ColdBloodedTorture for well over a month and ''does'' hit the DespairEventHorizon. (If any of this sounds familiar, it's because the fic was inspired by ''Mortality''.) Even after being rescued, his physical and spiritual recovery is long and painful, and it's seriously one TearJerker scene after another (SurvivorGuilt and FlashbackNightmare included). [[FromBadToWorse It gets worse]] when Holmes realizes that Moran [[RevengeByProxy intends to kill Mary and her baby]] in order to achieve [[FateWorseThanDeath the ultimate revenge]] on SherlockHolmes. Eventually, Holmes tries [[DeathSeeker to commit suicide]] [[HeroicSacrifice to spare Mary and the baby]], and InspectorLestrade [[WhatTheHellHero stops]] him. [[TheWoobie The woobieness]], however, continues. If left to himself, Holmes would go for Result C, while his adoptive family are constantly pushing for Result A -- [[CharacterDevelopment and it's slowly but surely working]].
* The ''{{Manga/Bleach}}'' fic ''{{FanFic/Uninvited Guests}}'' is built out of this trope, but it’s [[PlayedForLaughs played]] for [[RuleOfFunny comedy.]]
* ''Fanfic/ChildrenOfTime'' has Literature/SherlockHolmes and [[WesternAnimation/SherlockHolmesInTheTwentySecondCentury Beth Lestrade]].
** Holmes is first possessed by [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E742 a sentient sun]], a vicious BreakTheCutie experience, and he develops towards Result E. Eventually, he "loses" his best friend to marriage once again, having already been forced to observe from the past Watson falling in love and being unable to do anything about it. Major rift occurs between the two. Holmes finds himself [[IneffectualLoner unable to solve a case]] that ''[[YouCantFightFate has]]'' to be solved, and is subsequently kidnapped by none other than his BackFromTheDead ArchEnemy, Professor Moriarty. Moriarty offers Holmes a SadisticChoice: surrender his soul to him or watch Watson be broken piece by piece. Holmes quickly descends into Result B and has become very thoroughly TheSociopath by the time Beth attempts to rescue him. Moriarty decides to [[BreakTheHaughty break the apathetic detective]] until he ''does'' have a heart again, and then break that heart into tiny little bits. His most effective weapon is [[FailureToSaveMurder Holmes's apathy to Beth's murder]] as [[ColdBloodedTorture he tortures him]]. This does lead to a HeelRealization and Result A for Holmes, as well as a BittersweetEnding.
** As for Beth...Having been handcuffed, insulted, and threatened with physical harm by her hero, she still comes back to rescue him, only to find that he's done a FaceHeelTurn. Shocked and desperate, she commits a HeroicSacrifice in a last-ditch effort to save him ''and'' wake him up, then [[DespairEventHorizon dies realizing that]] ''[[DespairEventHorizon he doesn't care]]''. This makes her a BrokenBird once she's resurrected and the memories set in, and it takes [[TheAtoner quite a bit of effort on Holmes's part]] to pull her out of [[HeroicBSOD Result C]]. All that effort seems to go right back down the drain, however, when she's [[BoundAndGagged kidnapped]] by Moriarty and sells herself to him in return for the safety of Holmes, Watson, and [[Series/DoctorWho the Doctor]]. Like Holmes, her journey towards Result A is slow and difficult, and matters are hardly helped by the fact that she ''[[YouCantFightFate has]]'' to return to her own timeline, despite her and Holmes's love for each other.
* In ''FanFic/{{Fractured}}'', a ''MassEffect''[=/=]''StarWars''[[spoiler:[=/=]''[=Borderlands=]'']] [[MassiveMultiplayerCrossover crossover]] and its [[FanFic/SovereignGFCOrigins sequel]], Samantha Shepard [[BreakTheBadass gets hit with this]]. First, [[spoiler:Liara and several others]] end up dying, for which she blames herself. This [[HeroicBSOD drives her into depression]], making her an easy convert to the ways of an [[InsaneAdmiral insane]] [[GeneralRipper admiral]], whereupon she engages in some highly questionable missions. Due to her FaceHeelTurn, her now-former friends abandon Shepard, even going so far as to [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown administer a savage beating]] in order to keep Sam out of the final fight, though she is recovered afterward with severe injuries. Once [[BackFromTheDead reawoken]], a continuous losing battle against [[spoiler:a Force-wielding Siren]] combined with the arrival of [[spoiler:Flood]] breaks her ''again,'' causing Shepard to hang up her uniform. Only some pep talks from [[spoiler:Garrus and Wrex]] combined with the magnitude of what's at stake manage to convince her to step back into the fight. Even then, she initially leaves command to others.
* In the ''Series/LostGirl'' fanfic ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8180681/1/Mad-World Mad World]]'', Lauren's entire time with the Fae has been this largely as a result of her being a CosmicPlaything. Trick uses his [[RealityWarper powers]] to write that the [[{{BigBad}} Garuda]] will be defeated by a champion (who turns out to be Bo). The Garuda is aware of this, and knows that Lauren will be involved. So it and [[TheDragon Thane]] utterly destroy her life trying to prevent it. Thane murders 19 of her colleagues/friends, murders her, she is then brought back by the Fae, forced into slavery to them, and then Thane returns and subjects her to MindRape and [[ColdBloodedTorture horrific torture]]. She spends most of her time as a Type A (said torture briefly sends her into full on Type C). In the sequel however, she is beginning to be a Type E both because she is sick of her life being a Trauma Conga Line, and because [[spoiler:it's heavily implied she's now possessed by the Garuda]].
** Notably, in the sequel she [[WhatTheHellHero calls]] Trick and The Ash out for their roles in it. Trick for setting events in motion without considering the consequences, and the Ash who despite claiming to view Lauren as friend, is still using her as pawn. The fact that neither one of them seems to understand that the Fae destroying her life is pissing her off, just makes her even angrier.
* ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8608709/1/Lost-Boys Lost Boys]]'', its sequel ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8762400/1/Broken-Heroes Broken Heroes]]'', and (probably--it's still being written) its second sequel ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9037623/1/Shattered-Saviors Shattered Saviors]]'' gives each character a run for their money, but mostly the worst stuff happens to Sora, [[spoiler:Aqua, and Ventus]]. Sora keeps getting hurt mentally and physically. One breaking event after the other. He loses his home at the age of four thanks to Venitas, grows up on the streets of Traverse Town with Riku, has several moments where he either becomes engulfed in rage or loses himself to despair, [[spoiler:has Ventus die just after he finally thinks of forgiving him for destroying his home, and [[RapeAsDrama gives himself up to Xemnas]] to keep Kairi and the rest of his friends safe. Aqua comes back from the Realm of Darkness only to have Ventus die, then die AGAIN shortly after she revives him. When she finds Xemnas, she clings to a hope that he's still Terra, only to find out that answer is no. She gets completely broken by the fact that, despite her efforts, Terra and Ven are pretty much long gone.]] And then [[spoiler:Ventus. He spends his time feeling EXTREMELY guilty of destroying Sora and Riku's home, and being flat out abused by an extremely wrathful Sora. Then he dies. Horribly, brutally, and flat out MURDERED by Saïx, who gives zero fucks over killing an old friend of his]]. That is without going into every little detail, because, in short, someone gets hurt at least once a chapter.
* In the ''MyLittlePony''/''Franchise/BioShock'' fanfic ''Fanfic/{{Vision}}'', Siren's stay in the city has been this. Which is understandable, given that the plot circles around taking a somewhat petty and pampered artist and putting her in '''''[[CrapsackWorld Rapture]]'''''.
* ''Fanfic/SummerDaysAndEveningFlames'': Poor, poor Iron Bulwark. From June to August, he's torn between his [[InterspeciesRomance griffon girlfriend]] and best friend [[FantasticRacism who hates griffins]], both of whom [[TheChainsOfCommanding are guards under his command]], and then has to deal with [[spoiler:his best friend attempting to murder his girlfriend and then a violent breakup with said girlfriend]]. He takes to drinking for a few weekings, and then when things are finally looking up after reconciling with both Gilda and Starfall, [[spoiler:his mentor, Sherry, [[FaceHeelTurn starts a gang war]] that gets two dozen of his officers killed, and [[RevengeByProxy his girlfriend is nearly killed in said gang war]]. When confronted, Sherry assaults Iron and [[BrokenPedestal runs off to join the Mafia]], and [[EvilIsPetty gets Iron fired through her connections when Iron puts out her arrest warrant]], and Iron is remitted to the guard as a mere sergeant]]. Eventually, things get better as he and Gilda grow closer and he comes to enjoy his new position, but that was a ''long'' way to fall.
* Just about everything that happens to the old miner in ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9217083/1/Dwarfed-or-The-Blessed-Disaster The Blessed Disaster]]''. Dead parents, dead brother, awful job. [[HopeSpot Then the Pale Girl shows up]]...and dies. You do not EarnYourHappyEnding more than this guy did.
* This trope sums up the core of the ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' story ''Fanfic/CourtneyAndTheViolinOfDespair'', as befits the RevengeFic [[SubvertedTrope setup]]. Courtney continues to behave normally for the most part, but she begins to lose her love of music. She just as gradually begins to rediscover it after she is [[spoiler:freed of the curse]].
* Attelus Kaltos of the 40k ''Fanfic/SecretWar''. His whole life seems to be this, from one horrible thing after another: [[spoiler:as a teenager his whole planet was embroiled by war, his city bombarded from orbit and he was one of the few survivors. For months he lived alone and was eventually forced to [[IamAHumanitarian cannibalism]] to survive. But before that it's heavily implied his mother did something horrible to him as a child, this isn't elaborated on. In Secret War, the girl he loved tried to kill him. Then when he finally professes his love, she's immediately killed, then her body stolen and taken off world, this after, during their fight, she dealt him a horrific scar across his cheek [[ScarsAreForever which will be there forever]] to remind him of this constantly and it only gets [[FromBadToWorse gets worse, far far worse]] from there. He's so far type A but is very close to losing it, and becoming a full on type D]].
* [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Celestia]] begins ''FanFic/TheGodEmpressOfPonykind'' as [[TheEmperor The Empress]], brimming with confidence and ready to rebuild her empire. Then her beloved sister (who has become increasingly unstable due to TheCorruption) runs off and nearly gets herself killed in a war, and although Celestia saves her and her army Luna angrily accuses her of being a GloryHound. Then Celestia is [[MindRape Mind Raped]] by some of Sombra's magic, causing her to see a vision where She was the one [[FaceHeelTurn that turned evil during the Horus Heresy]]. ''[[FromBadToWorse Then]]'', when she tries to make amends with Luna, she finds that her sister has been taken over by TheCorruption, starting a civil war that almost tears Equestria apart. [[spoiler:Said war reveals that Celestia's oldest enemies, [[EldritchAbomination the Gods of Chaos]], are [[FakingTheDead still very much alive]]]], and she is forced to imprison her sister in the moon. By the time the war is over, her confidence is replaced by a massive amount of [[ItsAllMyFault self-loathing]] which carries over into the sequel, where Celestia laments that everything she cares about ends up being destroyed or corrupted.
* The ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' and ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'' crossover ''FanFic/ADifferentKindOfTruth''. The main character is Johnny Joestar of Part 7, and it's made abundantly clear that his life sucked as much as it did in canon. At the age of seven his big brother dies, thanks to a white mouse that may or may not have been Johnny's recently freed pet Danny and making Johnny constantly blame himself since. At the age of fourteen Johnny has to hear from his dad that NONE of the awards and achievements he earned since becoming a jockey mattered since he's not his brother, and has never visited even ONE of Johnny's races. Johnny then gets into a fight with and nearly kills his own father (In his older brother's own room, much to Johnny's shame) and has to hear his father say that Johnny should have been killed instead of his brother. Not even a few hours after that Johnny is yearning to feel accepted by someone, even if it's his bitchy date of the week. He kicks a guy out of a club line to prove himself to said date, and gets shot in the back as a result. He then wakes up in a hospital, finds out he's crippled, spends a lot of his time crying and laying in his own filth with neither any of his false friends, date, or his father visiting him. Needless to say, Johnny has a LOT of trust issues and is NotGoodWithPeople thanks to the experience.
* Virtually all of the supporting cast of ''FanFic/SonicXDarkChaos'' have been through one, to the point where it quickly becomes a DysfunctionJunction. Tsali and Cosmo are the ones who get it the worst. To expand:
** Tsali's home planet is annihilated and his family was killed when he was only ten. The Seedrians rescued him and then Cosmo's father Luke decided to use him in a demented attempt to defeat a Demon invasion of their homeworld. Tsali gets turned into a combat android powered by [[TheCorruption Dark Chaos Energy]]--[[BodyHorror very painfully]]--and Tsali promptly goes completely crazy from rage once he finally breaks out. He ends up slaughtering the entire Seedrian race before getting several dozen nuclear weapons dropped on him by Cosmo's mother Hertia. He barely survives by making a literal DealWithTheDevil--[[{{Irony}} becoming a pawn of the very same person who destroyed his home planet]]--and is forced to fight a brutal one-man war across the galaxy for revenge against the Metarex...yeah. It's telling that when ''Dark Chaos'' begins thirty years later, he's been [[TheSociopath so utterly brutalized]] by his [[WarIsHell experiences]] that he considers ''disemboweling children'' to be a source of cheap entertainment.
** Cosmo is [[CosmicPlaything way]], ''[[UpToEleven way]]'' worse off than the original ''Sonic X'', [[BrokenBird which is saying something]]. Her family was slaughtered and her home was destroyed (including watching Tsali burn her sisters to death). Then she ends up being forced to command a fleet of starships against an EldritchAbomination. And then she's forced to [[spoiler:murder the boy she loves]]. And in the preview of the sequel, [[spoiler:her father Luke/Dark Oak dies and she watches an army of unstoppable Lovecraftian horrors bring about TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt]]. And finally, just to utterly break her, she finds out [[spoiler:she's pregnant through BizarreAlienBiology]]. ''All of this happens to a prepubescent girl''. Is it really surprising that she [[DrivenToSuicide tries to kill herself]] [[spoiler:and then completely snaps, [[FaceHeelTurn betrays her friends]], and becomes an ''[[MoralEventHorizon utterly evil]] WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds'']]?
** The ''[[http://dance-the-code.livejournal.com/2029.html Conference Wives]]'' series in ''Series/NUMB3RS'' fandom. The author has Charlie Eppes having a child with lesbians he knew from grad school, except he rarely gets to see his son for the first few years of his life because they live on the East Coast and are paranoid about homophobic reactions from Charlie's parents, since their own parents reacted that way when they each came out. One of the mothers dies in a car crash orchestrated by her father, who runs a hate group; the other mother was in the car at the time and is heavily implied to have been beaten to death by the father's hate group cronies. Alan has a homophobic freak out (which is OOC for him & therefore purely inserted for its BreakTheCutie angst value). Charlie is kidnapped and tortured by Marshall Penfield ''twice'', including being raped by him and having a Pi symbol carved into his back. And the author does all this with Charlie suffering almost none of the psychological damage that this would inflict and what damage is done seems to resolve itself in nothing flat. A definite Result F scenario.
* ''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/59019/solitary-locust Solitary Locust]]'' is centered around one for [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Twilight Sparkle]], starting with her accidentally turning herself into a [[EmotionEater changeling]].
----
* Used for a few chapters in the ''Disney/ThePrincessAndTheFrog'' fanfiction ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6160652/10/A_Son_For_A_King A Son for a King]]''. Charlotte's banker husband demands sex from Tiana in exchange for giving her a loan and for not asking for the money back, and when she refuses, he tells Charlotte that Tiana tried to bribe him with sex so as not to have to pay back the loan. Charlotte then goes to Tiana's house and yells at her, and breaks off their friendship. Tiana's mother then persuades her to go on a date with a man she has no attraction to, and on the date, he is stabbed by racists and has to be taken to the hospital by Tiana where it turns out he has lied about his name, as well as the fact that he is married to a woman who then arrives at the hospital and chases Tiana around the hospital room, calling her a tramp and screaming at her for sleeping with her husband (which she didn't do). Once she gets back to her mother's house, it's revealed that her house and restaurant have been set on fire by the Ku Klux Klan. She then collapses on the floor, yelling, "I've been a good person my entire life. I followed all the rules. Why do these things keep happening to me?" It's all quite [[{{Narm}} hilarious]].
* The ''{{Series/Firefly}}'' fanfic ''Fanfic/{{Forward}}'' does this to most of the crew, ''especially'' for River. Aside from being [[spoiler: kidnapped and tortured by Niska,]] she's also [[spoiler: undergone multiple mental breakdowns due to her insanity, she's been nearly eaten by Reavers]], and [[spoiler: has been repeatedly {{Mind Rape}}d by another psychic escapee from the Academy]]. Not a single "episode" in the story passes without River being repeatedly punched in the gut.
* The ''Manga/DeathNote'' postseries fanfic arc ''Redeemer'' by [[http://anime.adultfanfiction.net/authors.php?no=1296867228 CocoaCoveredGods]] lays this on Light ''like woah''. Being stripped of his identity as Kira was only the beginning- so far, he's been [[spoiler:killed multiple times, buried alive, tortured, raped (again, multiple times), suffered two mental breakdowns and been attacked by an axe-wielding psychopath in a scene that even L found difficult to look at the aftermath of.]] And some of this at the hands of people he loves. [[spoiler:It's no wonder he's a gibbering wreck by the start of the fourth fic.]]
** So does [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3529129/1/True_Elision ''True Elision'']] by Ezan, another post-series fanfic. Having been given a second chance to [[spoiler: have a proper afterlife]] and avoid being transformed in a Shinigami, Light is forced to face a [[NintendoHard Trial from hell]] and battle his worst nightmares (which include [[spoiler:being torn apart by the thousands of people he directly killed with their bare hands [[AndIMustScream while being unable to move]] and having a handful of hair forcefully shoved down his throat. Multiple times. [[BalefulPolymorph And]] [[RapeAsDrama that's]] [[IncestIsRelative just]] [[HumiliationConga the]] [[NauseaFuel first level]]...]]).
* This is [[BigBad Deadlock's]] intention in ''FanFic/TheLegendOfSpyroANewDawn''. She intends to inflict one on Spyro and Cynder because she suffered one that she blames them for. Her own included having her mate and unborn children killed in front of her and [[spoiler:apparently having her adult children killed by Dark Cynder.]]
* The ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' ZombieApocalypse fanfiction ''FanFic/RespawnOfTheDead'' tortures just about ''every'' member of the team, but a special mention has to be given to TheMedic. Over the course of the fic, he [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown gets the crap beaten out of him]] by The Soldier, [[spoiler: has to leave [[BuryYourGays The Heavy]] behind to be devoured by zombies]], and after recovering from the {{Heroic BSOD}} caused by ''that'', he has to MercyKill his MoralityPet, [[spoiler:the Pyro]]. [[TheWoobie Yeah]].
* ''Fanfic/FalloutEquestria'' is no picnic for its protagonist Littlepip--continually shot at (she isn't nicknamed "[[FanNickname Bulletsponge]]" for nothing), had friends die on her, the works. But its side fics ''Fanfic/FalloutEquestriaProjectHorizons'' and ''Heroes'' extend the Line even further.
* ''Fanfic/AceCombatTheEquestrianWar'' has Firefly, who had a [[DoomedHometown pretty]] [[DeceasedParentsAreTheBest rough]] [[BreakTheCutie childhood]], to say the least.
** Then, there is what Derpy [[AdultFear undergoes]] [[DiedInYourArmsTonight through the whole]] [[TheWoobie war]].
* ''FanFic/ImperfectMetamorphosis'' has [[spoiler:Rin Satsuki]], whose backstory ''starts'' with being kidnapped as a child by slavers and only gets worse from there. Over the course of the story itself she is attacked, brutalized, betrayed, at one point [[spoiler:her mind is literally ''shattered'']], and nearly everyone in Gensoukyou wants her dead. It is no mystery whatsoever that [[spoiler:she becomes a DeathSeeker.]]
* ''[[Fanfic/DeliverUsFromEvilSeries Mortality]]'' (and its series as a whole) is one long trauma conga line for Franchise/SherlockHolmes. Right from the prologue, we know that he's in ''major'' trouble, then we go back in time a month or so to find out how he gets to this point. Starts out by getting infected with a mutation of a deadly Asian disease, which is only cured ''just'' in time (though not before putting him through a stomach-churning conversation with a SerialKiller and getting himself in trouble with [[TheWatson his best friend]]). Less than a week later, he's kidnapped ([[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown quite brutally]]) and LockedInTheDungeon, therefore being subjected to all manner of ColdBloodedTorture. He almost hits the DespairEventHorizon but [[{{Determinator}} wills himself away from it]]. Even ''after'' being rescued (while half-dead), Holmes deals with fever, frailty, [[FlashbackNightmare Flashback Nightmares]], [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers and]] SurvivorGuilt. He ends up with a Result A, although his actions in the sequel do beg the question of just how well he learned his lessons.
* Another Sherlockian example is ''Fanfic/AStudyInRegret''. First, Holmes watches as [[HeroKiller Moran]] [[KilledOffForReal shoots]] [[TheWatson Watson]]; next, he's LockedInTheDungeon and subjected to ColdBloodedTorture for well over a month and ''does'' hit the DespairEventHorizon. (If any of this sounds familiar, it's because the fic was inspired by ''Mortality''.) Even after being rescued, his physical and spiritual recovery is long and painful, and it's seriously one TearJerker scene after another (SurvivorGuilt and FlashbackNightmare included). [[FromBadToWorse It gets worse]] when Holmes realizes that Moran [[RevengeByProxy intends to kill Mary and her baby]] in order to achieve [[FateWorseThanDeath the ultimate revenge]] on SherlockHolmes. Eventually, Holmes tries [[DeathSeeker to commit suicide]] [[HeroicSacrifice to spare Mary and the baby]], and InspectorLestrade [[WhatTheHellHero stops]] him. [[TheWoobie The woobieness]], however, continues. If left to himself, Holmes would go for Result C, while his adoptive family are constantly pushing for Result A -- [[CharacterDevelopment and it's slowly but surely working]].
* The ''{{Manga/Bleach}}'' fic ''{{FanFic/Uninvited Guests}}'' is built out of this trope, but it’s [[PlayedForLaughs played]] for [[RuleOfFunny comedy.]]
* ''Fanfic/ChildrenOfTime'' has Literature/SherlockHolmes and [[WesternAnimation/SherlockHolmesInTheTwentySecondCentury Beth Lestrade]].
** Holmes is first possessed by [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E742 a sentient sun]], a vicious BreakTheCutie experience, and he develops towards Result E. Eventually, he "loses" his best friend to marriage once again, having already been forced to observe from the past Watson falling in love and being unable to do anything about it. Major rift occurs between the two. Holmes finds himself [[IneffectualLoner unable to solve a case]] that ''[[YouCantFightFate has]]'' to be solved, and is subsequently kidnapped by none other than his BackFromTheDead ArchEnemy, Professor Moriarty. Moriarty offers Holmes a SadisticChoice: surrender his soul to him or watch Watson be broken piece by piece. Holmes quickly descends into Result B and has become very thoroughly TheSociopath by the time Beth attempts to rescue him. Moriarty decides to [[BreakTheHaughty break the apathetic detective]] until he ''does'' have a heart again, and then break that heart into tiny little bits. His most effective weapon is [[FailureToSaveMurder Holmes's apathy to Beth's murder]] as [[ColdBloodedTorture he tortures him]]. This does lead to a HeelRealization and Result A for Holmes, as well as a BittersweetEnding.
** As for Beth...Having been handcuffed, insulted, and threatened with physical harm by her hero, she still comes back to rescue him, only to find that he's done a FaceHeelTurn. Shocked and desperate, she commits a HeroicSacrifice in a last-ditch effort to save him ''and'' wake him up, then [[DespairEventHorizon dies realizing that]] ''[[DespairEventHorizon he doesn't care]]''. This makes her a BrokenBird once she's resurrected and the memories set in, and it takes [[TheAtoner quite a bit of effort on Holmes's part]] to pull her out of [[HeroicBSOD Result C]]. All that effort seems to go right back down the drain, however, when she's [[BoundAndGagged kidnapped]] by Moriarty and sells herself to him in return for the safety of Holmes, Watson, and [[Series/DoctorWho the Doctor]]. Like Holmes, her journey towards Result A is slow and difficult, and matters are hardly helped by the fact that she ''[[YouCantFightFate has]]'' to return to her own timeline, despite her and Holmes's love for each other.
* In ''FanFic/{{Fractured}}'', a ''MassEffect''[=/=]''StarWars''[[spoiler:[=/=]''[=Borderlands=]'']] [[MassiveMultiplayerCrossover crossover]] and its [[FanFic/SovereignGFCOrigins sequel]], Samantha Shepard [[BreakTheBadass gets hit with this]]. First, [[spoiler:Liara and several others]] end up dying, for which she blames herself. This [[HeroicBSOD drives her into depression]], making her an easy convert to the ways of an [[InsaneAdmiral insane]] [[GeneralRipper admiral]], whereupon she engages in some highly questionable missions. Due to her FaceHeelTurn, her now-former friends abandon Shepard, even going so far as to [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown administer a savage beating]] in order to keep Sam out of the final fight, though she is recovered afterward with severe injuries. Once [[BackFromTheDead reawoken]], a continuous losing battle against [[spoiler:a Force-wielding Siren]] combined with the arrival of [[spoiler:Flood]] breaks her ''again,'' causing Shepard to hang up her uniform. Only some pep talks from [[spoiler:Garrus and Wrex]] combined with the magnitude of what's at stake manage to convince her to step back into the fight. Even then, she initially leaves command to others.
* In the ''Series/LostGirl'' fanfic ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8180681/1/Mad-World Mad World]]'', Lauren's entire time with the Fae has been this largely as a result of her being a CosmicPlaything. Trick uses his [[RealityWarper powers]] to write that the [[{{BigBad}} Garuda]] will be defeated by a champion (who turns out to be Bo). The Garuda is aware of this, and knows that Lauren will be involved. So it and [[TheDragon Thane]] utterly destroy her life trying to prevent it. Thane murders 19 of her colleagues/friends, murders her, she is then brought back by the Fae, forced into slavery to them, and then Thane returns and subjects her to MindRape and [[ColdBloodedTorture horrific torture]]. She spends most of her time as a Type A (said torture briefly sends her into full on Type C). In the sequel however, she is beginning to be a Type E both because she is sick of her life being a Trauma Conga Line, and because [[spoiler:it's heavily implied she's now possessed by the Garuda]].
** Notably, in the sequel she [[WhatTheHellHero calls]] Trick and The Ash out for their roles in it. Trick for setting events in motion without considering the consequences, and the Ash who despite claiming to view Lauren as friend, is still using her as pawn. The fact that neither one of them seems to understand that the Fae destroying her life is pissing her off, just makes her even angrier.
* ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8608709/1/Lost-Boys Lost Boys]]'', its sequel ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8762400/1/Broken-Heroes Broken Heroes]]'', and (probably--it's still being written) its second sequel ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9037623/1/Shattered-Saviors Shattered Saviors]]'' gives each character a run for their money, but mostly the worst stuff happens to Sora, [[spoiler:Aqua, and Ventus]]. Sora keeps getting hurt mentally and physically. One breaking event after the other. He loses his home at the age of four thanks to Venitas, grows up on the streets of Traverse Town with Riku, has several moments where he either becomes engulfed in rage or loses himself to despair, [[spoiler:has Ventus die just after he finally thinks of forgiving him for destroying his home, and [[RapeAsDrama gives himself up to Xemnas]] to keep Kairi and the rest of his friends safe. Aqua comes back from the Realm of Darkness only to have Ventus die, then die AGAIN shortly after she revives him. When she finds Xemnas, she clings to a hope that he's still Terra, only to find out that answer is no. She gets completely broken by the fact that, despite her efforts, Terra and Ven are pretty much long gone.]] And then [[spoiler:Ventus. He spends his time feeling EXTREMELY guilty of destroying Sora and Riku's home, and being flat out abused by an extremely wrathful Sora. Then he dies. Horribly, brutally, and flat out MURDERED by Saïx, who gives zero fucks over killing an old friend of his]]. That is without going into every little detail, because, in short, someone gets hurt at least once a chapter.
* In the ''MyLittlePony''/''Franchise/BioShock'' fanfic ''Fanfic/{{Vision}}'', Siren's stay in the city has been this. Which is understandable, given that the plot circles around taking a somewhat petty and pampered artist and putting her in '''''[[CrapsackWorld Rapture]]'''''.
* ''Fanfic/SummerDaysAndEveningFlames'': Poor, poor Iron Bulwark. From June to August, he's torn between his [[InterspeciesRomance griffon girlfriend]] and best friend [[FantasticRacism who hates griffins]], both of whom [[TheChainsOfCommanding are guards under his command]], and then has to deal with [[spoiler:his best friend attempting to murder his girlfriend and then a violent breakup with said girlfriend]]. He takes to drinking for a few weekings, and then when things are finally looking up after reconciling with both Gilda and Starfall, [[spoiler:his mentor, Sherry, [[FaceHeelTurn starts a gang war]] that gets two dozen of his officers killed, and [[RevengeByProxy his girlfriend is nearly killed in said gang war]]. When confronted, Sherry assaults Iron and [[BrokenPedestal runs off to join the Mafia]], and [[EvilIsPetty gets Iron fired through her connections when Iron puts out her arrest warrant]], and Iron is remitted to the guard as a mere sergeant]]. Eventually, things get better as he and Gilda grow closer and he comes to enjoy his new position, but that was a ''long'' way to fall.
* Just about everything that happens to the old miner in ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9217083/1/Dwarfed-or-The-Blessed-Disaster The Blessed Disaster]]''. Dead parents, dead brother, awful job. [[HopeSpot Then the Pale Girl shows up]]...and dies. You do not EarnYourHappyEnding more than this guy did.
* This trope sums up the core of the ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' story ''Fanfic/CourtneyAndTheViolinOfDespair'', as befits the RevengeFic [[SubvertedTrope setup]]. Courtney continues to behave normally for the most part, but she begins to lose her love of music. She just as gradually begins to rediscover it after she is [[spoiler:freed of the curse]].
* Attelus Kaltos of the 40k ''Fanfic/SecretWar''. His whole life seems to be this, from one horrible thing after another: [[spoiler:as a teenager his whole planet was embroiled by war, his city bombarded from orbit and he was one of the few survivors. For months he lived alone and was eventually forced to [[IamAHumanitarian cannibalism]] to survive. But before that it's heavily implied his mother did something horrible to him as a child, this isn't elaborated on. In Secret War, the girl he loved tried to kill him. Then when he finally professes his love, she's immediately killed, then her body stolen and taken off world, this after, during their fight, she dealt him a horrific scar across his cheek [[ScarsAreForever which will be there forever]] to remind him of this constantly and it only gets [[FromBadToWorse gets worse, far far worse]] from there. He's so far type A but is very close to losing it, and becoming a full on type D]].
* [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Celestia]] begins ''FanFic/TheGodEmpressOfPonykind'' as [[TheEmperor The Empress]], brimming with confidence and ready to rebuild her empire. Then her beloved sister (who has become increasingly unstable due to TheCorruption) runs off and nearly gets herself killed in a war, and although Celestia saves her and her army Luna angrily accuses her of being a GloryHound. Then Celestia is [[MindRape Mind Raped]] by some of Sombra's magic, causing her to see a vision where She was the one [[FaceHeelTurn that turned evil during the Horus Heresy]]. ''[[FromBadToWorse Then]]'', when she tries to make amends with Luna, she finds that her sister has been taken over by TheCorruption, starting a civil war that almost tears Equestria apart. [[spoiler:Said war reveals that Celestia's oldest enemies, [[EldritchAbomination the Gods of Chaos]], are [[FakingTheDead still very much alive]]]], and she is forced to imprison her sister in the moon. By the time the war is over, her confidence is replaced by a massive amount of [[ItsAllMyFault self-loathing]] which carries over into the sequel, where Celestia laments that everything she cares about ends up being destroyed or corrupted.
* The ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' and ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'' crossover ''FanFic/ADifferentKindOfTruth''. The main character is Johnny Joestar of Part 7, and it's made abundantly clear that his life sucked as much as it did in canon. At the age of seven his big brother dies, thanks to a white mouse that may or may not have been Johnny's recently freed pet Danny and making Johnny constantly blame himself since. At the age of fourteen Johnny has to hear from his dad that NONE of the awards and achievements he earned since becoming a jockey mattered since he's not his brother, and has never visited even ONE of Johnny's races. Johnny then gets into a fight with and nearly kills his own father (In his older brother's own room, much to Johnny's shame) and has to hear his father say that Johnny should have been killed instead of his brother. Not even a few hours after that Johnny is yearning to feel accepted by someone, even if it's his bitchy date of the week. He kicks a guy out of a club line to prove himself to said date, and gets shot in the back as a result. He then wakes up in a hospital, finds out he's crippled, spends a lot of his time crying and laying in his own filth with neither any of his false friends, date, or his father visiting him. Needless to say, Johnny has a LOT of trust issues and is NotGoodWithPeople thanks to the experience.
* Virtually all of the supporting cast of ''FanFic/SonicXDarkChaos'' have been through one, to the point where it quickly becomes a DysfunctionJunction. Tsali and Cosmo are the ones who get it the worst. To expand:
** Tsali's home planet is annihilated and his family was killed when he was only ten. The Seedrians rescued him and then Cosmo's father Luke decided to use him in a demented attempt to defeat a Demon invasion of their homeworld. Tsali gets turned into a combat android powered by [[TheCorruption Dark Chaos Energy]]--[[BodyHorror very painfully]]--and Tsali promptly goes completely crazy from rage once he finally breaks out. He ends up slaughtering the entire Seedrian race before getting several dozen nuclear weapons dropped on him by Cosmo's mother Hertia. He barely survives by making a literal DealWithTheDevil--[[{{Irony}} becoming a pawn of the very same person who destroyed his home planet]]--and is forced to fight a brutal one-man war across the galaxy for revenge against the Metarex...yeah. It's telling that when ''Dark Chaos'' begins thirty years later, he's been [[TheSociopath so utterly brutalized]] by his [[WarIsHell experiences]] that he considers ''disemboweling children'' to be a source of cheap entertainment.
** Cosmo is [[CosmicPlaything way]], ''[[UpToEleven way]]'' worse off than the original ''Sonic X'', [[BrokenBird which is saying something]]. Her family was slaughtered and her home was destroyed (including watching Tsali burn her sisters to death). Then she ends up being forced to command a fleet of starships against an EldritchAbomination. And then she's forced to [[spoiler:murder the boy she loves]]. And in the preview of the sequel, [[spoiler:her father Luke/Dark Oak dies and she watches an army of unstoppable Lovecraftian horrors bring about TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt]]. And finally, just to utterly break her, she finds out [[spoiler:she's pregnant through BizarreAlienBiology]]. ''All of this happens to a prepubescent girl''. Is it really surprising that she [[DrivenToSuicide tries to kill herself]] [[spoiler:and then completely snaps, [[FaceHeelTurn betrays her friends]], and becomes an ''[[MoralEventHorizon utterly evil]] WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds'']]?
** The ''[[http://dance-the-code.livejournal.com/2029.html Conference Wives]]'' series in ''Series/NUMB3RS'' fandom. The author has Charlie Eppes having a child with lesbians he knew from grad school, except he rarely gets to see his son for the first few years of his life because they live on the East Coast and are paranoid about homophobic reactions from Charlie's parents, since their own parents reacted that way when they each came out. One of the mothers dies in a car crash orchestrated by her father, who runs a hate group; the other mother was in the car at the time and is heavily implied to have been beaten to death by the father's hate group cronies. Alan has a homophobic freak out (which is OOC for him & therefore purely inserted for its BreakTheCutie angst value). Charlie is kidnapped and tortured by Marshall Penfield ''twice'', including being raped by him and having a Pi symbol carved into his back. And the author does all this with Charlie suffering almost none of the psychological damage that this would inflict and what damage is done seems to resolve itself in nothing flat. A definite Result F scenario.
* ''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/59019/solitary-locust Solitary Locust]]'' is centered around one for [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Twilight Sparkle]], starting with her accidentally turning herself into a [[EmotionEater changeling]].
