1'''''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12345960/1/Lincoln-is-Done Lincoln is Done]]''''' is a fanfiction of ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' that has become somewhat controversial due to its characterisation problems and use of the FandomSpecificPlot of Lincoln running away.
2
3In it, Lincoln has a bad day when his sisters coddle him over a minor injury, argue with him over the remote, tease him for ripping his underwear (the only thing he was wearing), and blame him for clogging the toilet. He then runs away to the [=McBride=] house after having two nightmares about his sisters hating him.

5This makes all the girls miserable and they try to bring him back, but Lincoln still insists they don't love him, so then Haiku shows up with an... unorthodox solution. A parody of the fanfic, called ''Lincoln is Dumb'', can be read [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12946773/1/Lincoln-is-Dumb here]].
6----
7!! ''Lincoln is Done'' provides examples of
8* AccidentalMurder: Or rather accidental ''attempted'' murder. Lola remembers "trying to kill Lincoln by accident".
9* AnimalLover: Despite being much ruder than in canon, Lincoln still seems to be an animal lover, feeling guilty about leaving his pets behind and enjoying smooching with Cleopawtra and Nepurrtiti.
10* AssShove: Discussed when Luna seems to imply she wants to stick Lola's tiara up her behind, but changes her mind because Lily is nearby.
11* BigNo: In Lincoln's nightmare, when the sisters send him to Hell, he shouts, "No!".
12* BigSisterBully:
13** According to Lincoln, Lori is a bully and uses being the oldest sister as an excuse, but at that point, all Lori did was call Luna a twerp and (gently if a bit rudely) push Lincoln out of the way.
14** When Luna and Lynn feel guilty, they call themselves bullies.
15* BrattyHalfPint: Discussed when no one feels sorry for Lola due to her brattiness.
16* BreakingTheFourthWall: Just like on the show, the fanfic begins with Lincoln talking to the viewers.
17* ContinuityNod:
18** The story mentions that the Loud kids have fought over the TV remote (seen many times), the last slice of pizza (seen in "Slice of Life"), and the best spot on the couch (implied at the end of "The Sweet Spot"), and tried to one-up each other at the garage sale (seen in "Come Sale Away").
19** Luna brings up the time Lori threw up on Lincoln and posted it on social media (seen in "The Sweet Spot").
20** Lynn Sr. brings up the time they thought Lincoln was bad luck, which happened in "No Such Luck".
21** Lola feels guilty for blackmailing her siblings to be in their secrets club, which happened in "A Tattler's Tale".
22** Lincoln remembers going to a concert with Luna. This occurred in "For Bros About to Rock".
23** Lincoln mentions to Dr. Lopez wearing noise-b-gone earplugs, which happened in "Sound of Silence".
24** Lincoln brings up the time he kissed Ronnie Anne and got a black eye ("Heavy Meddle").
25** Haiku brings up the Sadie Hawkins Dance, which Lincoln attended in "Dance, Dance Resolution".
26* CryingARiver: Discussed when Lynn Sr. says that he doesn't want his daughters' tears to form a big enough river that they'd need a row boat.
27* DarkFic: The story involves Lincoln disowning his sisters and running away and the girls feeling extremely guilty and (in Lynn, Luna, and Lola's case) suicidal.
28* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment:
29** Lincoln is described as the middle child of "the Loud family, within the Loud house".
30** The Loud siblings are described as fighting "many and countless times".
31* DisownedSibling: When Lincoln runs away, he disowns his sisters. Throughout the fic, Lincoln refers to them as his "ex-sisters" or his "former sisters".
32* EvenTheDogIsAshamed: When Lola's parents and Lana feel mad at her for disobeying, Lana's pets (that'd be Hops the frog, Izzy the lizard, Bitey the rat, and El Diablo the snake) glare at her.
33* FaintInShock: Clyde passes out when he sees or mentions his crush Lori. A bit of a CharacterExaggeration, since in ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse canon'' he's more likely to just act awkward and/or get a {{nosebleed}}.
34* TheFashionista: Leni demonstrates her canonical fashion sense when she dislikes arm and leg warmers for being too much like the 1980's.
35* FellAsleepCrying: In the eighth chapter, Luna cries herself to sleep.
36* FightForTheLastBite: The fic references the Louds' fight for the last slice of pizza in "Slice of Life".
37* HangingAround: Lola believes she caused her brother Lincoln to [[TheRunaway run away]] since she clogged the toilet and lied that he did it. Thus, [[spoiler:she tries to hang herself, but her parents talk her down, so she survives]].
38* HeartbreakAndIceCream: Lori eats many tubs of ice cream when she's sad about Lincoln running away.
39* HowlOfSorrow: Defied by Charles. He wants to howl due to missing Lincoln, but decides not to because it's nighttime.
40* {{Hypocrite}}: Lana is mad at Lola for following Luna and disobeying their parents, but she did it too.
41* InsomniaEpisode: Occasionally, the sisters have trouble sleeping due to missing Lincoln.
42* KarmaHoudini: When Luna's sisters follow her despite being told no, only Lola gets grounded; the rest get off scot free.
43* MadAtADream: The whole reason Lincoln thinks his sisters hate him was because he ''dreamt'' they did.
44* MistakesAreNotTheEndOfTheWorld: Haiku says to Lincoln that it's fine and normal to make mistakes and his family will forgive him.
45* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: The girls feel guilty about Lincoln running away because they think it's their fault he's mad at them.
46* NakedPeopleAreFunny: When Lincoln rips his undies, exposing his rear, his sisters all guffaw.
47* NiceGirl:
48** Leni is introduced as the kindest sister and loved by the whole family for being kind.
49** Luna is treated as being the only good sister in some scenes, like when she is the only one who doesn't accuse Lincoln of clogging the toilet.
50* NightmareSequence: Lincoln has two nightmares about his sisters being evil.
51* {{Nosebleed}}: Clyde gets a nosebleed when he sees Lori and another one when he mentions her to Lopez.
52* NotAMorningPerson: At the beginning, Lori is groggy when she first wakes up.
53* NotSoStoic: The stoic Lucy and Lisa cry several times in this story.
54* OcularGushers: When Lisa cries at one point, her tears are described as coming out "like a garden sprinkler".
55* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: In Lincoln's nightmare, he is afraid when [[TheStoic Lucy]] sounds stern.
56* OutOfCharacter:
57** Canonically, Lincoln is way too sensible to believe his sisters hate him because of a nightmare, much less ''run away'' or ''disown'' them because of it. He also swears a lot in this fanfiction, whereas in the show, he's never said anything worse than a censored "dammit".
58** The sisters might be a ''bit'' unhappy about Lincoln running away to the [=McBride=] house and offended by him disowning them, but they probably wouldn't canonically cry their eyes out or (in Lynn, Lori, and Lola's case) want to ''kill'' themselves. Luna specifically wouldn't think it was good that Lola was badly beat up by Lincoln.
59** While the parents aren't perfect, they certainly wouldn't punish only Lola when all her sisters except Luna also did the same thing wrong and claim she deserved to have two teeth punched out.
60* PottyEmergency: In the first chapter, Lincoln desperately needs to pee before finding the toilet clogged.
61* {{Pun}}: Luan quips that they need to get to the "bottom" of why Lincoln ripped his undies, then Luna quips about turning the other ''cheek''.
62* PunctuatedForEmphasis: Lynn Sr. says, "Put. Her. Down!" when Luna lifts up Lola.
63* RedEyesTakeWarning: In Lincoln's nightmare, his sisters' eyes turn red when they turn evil.
64* RougeAnglesOfSatin: While not riddled with errors, occasionally an error will result in a whole other word, such as "just" becoming "jut" and "put" becoming "out".
65* TheRunaway: The plot is about Lincoln running away to Clyde's place.
66* ScaryStingingSwarm: When Lincoln asks to live with Clyde, the latter thinks that it's because the Loud house is infested with bees.
67* ShoutOut:
68** Luan wants to watch ''Series/TheThreeStooges'' at the beginning.
69** Lincoln watches ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}''.
70** Lincoln apparently "didn't want to end up like [[Franchise/StarWars Anakin Skywalker]]."
71* TheShrink: Lincoln sees Dr. Lopez the psychiatrist.
72* SpeakInUnison:
73** When Lincoln twists his ankle, the sisters say, "Aw, poor Lincoln!" in unison.
74** In Lincoln's nightmare, the sisters say, "Goodbye, Lincoln" in unison.
75** When Lori claims that they don't have a brother, Rita and Lynn Sr. both say, "What?!".
76** The three oldest sisters apologise for fighting in unison in the fourth chapter.
77* SplittingPants: At one point, Lincoln accidentally rips his underwear, which exposes his bare ass to all his sisters, much to their amusement.
78* {{Teleportation}}: In this story, Lucy really ''can'' teleport.
79* UnexpectedKindness: Lincoln [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone realizes how much of a jerk he's been]] and isn't sure if his family will take him back after the way he's treated them. When he comes home, the family showers him with hugs and affection, and they even give him a cake.
80* WouldHitAGirl: The "hit" part is taken literally when Lincoln punches Lola in the face. ''Twice''.
81* YouAreGrounded: When Lynn Sr. suspects Lincoln clogged the toilet, he grounds him for the day. Then, when he realises Lola did it, he grounds her for a ''month'', which he extends to three months when she and the other girls follow Luna despite being told no.
