* NightmareFuel: All those things that happen in PornWithoutPlot, the rapefics, the squick, and the creepy fetish fics? Unless the victim is ID'd as a replacement Sue, chances are it's a [[AndIMustScream possessed canon character]], who may or may not be [[AndIMustScream aware of what they're being forced to do]] and will possibly need medical assistance and resuscitation afterwards. And the Wraiths can possess agents as well.
** Even worse is if it's a [[RealPersonFic real person]].
** In a Left 4 Dead Fic, the agents have to deal with a Sue that's literally a giant, swearing, zombie killing, ''sandwich''.
*** Worse, the damn thing just won't die. In their second mission dealing with it, they have to figure out a way to kill it since it survived being shot and having its neck broken.

* TastesLikeDiabetes: Many Suefics, ''especially'' [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Legolas]]/OC "Legomances." The Mary Sue stories tend to involve a woman or teenage girl who's described in ludicrously sugary PurpleProse having extremely poetic and cliched romance with a canon character. The reason why the "Legomances" tend to be the most syrupy is probably because half of the pairing is an elf, who tend to be glorified even in canon, so when one ends up in an already-soppy love story, it becomes even soppier.

* UncannyValley: Sues fall into this by reason of being too perfect. Their bodies often have many traits that would be attractive on their own, but are creepy and unnatural together.

be attractive on their own, but are creepy and unnatural together.

* TakeThat: While the goal of the PPC is to be about fun and not to bully...well, nobody's perfect.
** The IDoNotOwn disclaimers tend to be a little bit meaner than necessary in regards to the fic or the canon in question.
** The agents also tend to get a bit whiny in canons they personally don't like.
** Fanfiction.net is perpetually known as the "Pit of Voles", due to harboring much of the work they go after.

* {{Squick}}: Some of the more dreadful fics; it's a charge for a reason.
* StrangledByTheRedString: Cupid and Stephanie fall in love rather quickly, all things considered - even having known each other for a few hours at best, they're already treated as a couple at the end of [[https://docs.google.com/document/d/12nFPwjpdFbfdkMyBi42BZW72uUii3wUbnRNGkIeeMak/edit the very same mission]] where they first meet. [[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1E5RF3E-itH_-Zt4DBV-tKClW-KtlFkg0CqO3d5I8kN0/edit Their next mission together]] not only lampshades this by being titled after this very trope, but also deconstructs their relationship somewhat by making their respective flaws - Cupid's HotBlooded-ness and Stephanie's crippling insecurity - into critical obstacles for the two of them to overcome.

* TastesLikeDiabetes: Many Suefics, ''especially'' Legolas/OC "Legomances."
* TearJerker: Some of the agent histories are pretty damn depressing. In particular, [[StepfordSmiler Gabrielle]] is a [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter cute fluffy]] [[VideoGame/{{Pokemon}} Flareon]]... who was discarded as useless by a [[StopHavingFunGuys competitive player.]] Her trainer was abusive, insulting her and devaluing her existence until she reached the point where her entire sense of self-worth is based on what others think of her.
** After the mission where this was first explored in any depth, Gabrielle was tasked with keeping a diary by her therapist. It's presented in a similar manner to [[StepfordSmiler how she speaks]], but we get a vague idea of what she was put through by Tempest. [[WhyDidYouMakeMeHitYou And]] [[TrainingFromHell it]] [[DontMakeMeTakeMyBeltOff is]] ''[[BreakTheCutie harrowing]]''. Though she does get a little HopeSpot at the end.
--> I'm not weak.
--> I'm not.
** The ending to Little Miss Mary.
--> [[spoiler:"Good-bye, Alex. I love you."]]
--> [[spoiler:Alex tried to grab her again, but she ducked inside and the door slid shut behind her. Alex pounded his fists against it. “SABRINA!” he screamed. “DON’T GO! DON’T GO! YOU CAN’T DO THIS! PLEASE! COME BACK!”]]
* UncannyValley: Sues fall into this by reason of being too perfect.
* TheWoobie: Several agents go past ButtMonkey and into this when their authors get mean. The most recent contender is Cadmar, for the TraumaCongaLine he ([[GenderBender currently she]]) faced in "Dragon Lady". Even the ''Flowers'' took pity on him/her.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: The [[BlackComedyRape Rape Jar]].

* LessDisturbingInContext: A number of things, though they're not necessarily ''much'' less disturbing in context.

* HolyShitQuotient: Varies [[DependingOnTheWriter from writer to writer]], and depending on what fic they're sporking.

** Fanfiction.net is perpetually known as the "Pit of Voles", both due to harboring much of the work they go after and out of bitterness for having their own work kicked off.

* CrazyAwesome: Many of the agents forced to sit through the horrors of badfic aren't quite right in the head anymore. This probably makes them even deadlier.

From ''VideoGame/PokemonLetsGoPikachuAndLetsGoEevee'' onward, the player is able to access their PC box from their bag.

** Poor, poor [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} Lapis Lazuli]]. Her entire backstory has been one BreakTheCutie moment after another: being overshadowed by her author's [[SelfInsertFic self-insert]] in her homefic, having said homefic be destroyed [[OldShame by her own author]], ending up in the PPC Headquarters completely alone without anyone to console her, making friends with one of the agents who discovered her [[spoiler:only to be powerless to stop him [[DeathByOriginStory being killed while on Duty]]]], becoming an active agent years ahead of time [[spoiler:only to ''[[AnArmAndALeg lose her right hand]]'' to a [[GodModeSue god-modding Suvian]]]], being put down despite her ambition to prevent such tragedies from happening again, [[TookALevelInJerkass becoming]] a JerkassWoobie as a result... the list goes on and on. Luckily, she was eventually [[ThrowTheDogABone given a much-needed lucky break]] when she was able to make amends with one of the agents who was at odds with her over the years, and it currently looks as though [[EarnYourHappyEnding things will turn out better for her in the future.]]
