Losing Him is a The Loud House fanfic, originally written by TvFan2244. The original version was discontinued and eventually deleted. A republished version
was started on September 02, 2021 by Monsterzilla, but so far never progressed beyond the chapters originally written by TvFan2244, however, as of September 18, 2023, the story has a new chapter called A Ruler with a Strategy.
The story takes place after the Loud family kick Lincoln out of the house after believing he is bad luck; this leaves Lincoln to question if his own family even loved him at all. Things get worse when the poor boy is gunned by a criminal (and survives to disown almost the whole family): now the family must be prepared to face the consequences of their actions; at the same time, it becomes clear there was more behind Lincoln getting shot than the boy simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
The story provides examples of:
- Abusive Parents: Lynn Sr. and Rita didn't hesitate for a second to side with their daughters' idea to evict Lincoln from the house so that his so-called bad luck wouldn't spread. This comes back to bite them hard in Chapters 2-3 and onward. They come realize too late
- Accusation Fic: The Loud Family is called out for believing that Lincoln was bad luck and for kicking him out of the house, the latter of which kicks off the plot.
- All of the Other Reindeer: The Loud Sisters are ostracized by all of their friends and classmates once news about them kicking Lincoln out of the house gets out, especially Lynn, who gets kicked off of all her sports teams.
- Alternate Universe Fic: In this version of the events of "No Such Luck", Lincoln ends up getting shot due to being kicked out of the house and ensuing consequences soon follow after.
- Armor-Piercing Question: Albert asks Lincoln if can he really hate his own family forever. This causes Lincoln to be unsure of himself.
- Audience Surrogate: Detectives Stone and Brookes can be seen as surrogates for the two sides of the Loud House fandom: the former represents the side that condemns the Loud Family for their part in the Bad Luck debacle, wants to see them punished for their actions, and believes they deserve to be miserable; the latter represents the side that, while disgusted with the Louds' actions, can tell they feel guilty for what they did and feels sympathy towards them.
- At Least I Admit It: During his rant towards his family, Lincoln admits that he isn't a saint himself, as he did his own fair share of selfish things in the past and thinks that claiming that he was bad luck in order to have some alone time wasn't a smart move on his part, but thing is he wouldn't have had the idea if Lynn hadn't threatened him to go to her game only to be blamed when she loses, not to mention he honestly didn't think that his own family would kick him out over that stupid superstition.
- Betrayal Fic: A continuation of No Such Luck that many other fics do as well.
- Big Bad: In the new chapter; A Ruler with a Strategy, it was revealed to be a rich old man to be behind all this, however, the name and identity is yet to be revealed.
- Bounty Hunter: A New Hunter has been introduced in the latest chapter called A Ruler with a Strategy, something far Monstrous and Deadly.
- Close to Home: Stone had Abusive Parents when he was a child, so it's quite understandable that he's especially hostile towards anybody who abuses children.
- Darker and Edgier: Very dark compared to the show as this story presents a realistic take on the Loud's actions towards Lincoln in No Such Luck showing the consequences of Lincoln getting shot and the Loud family's life falling apart as a result. There is also some swearing and blood.
- Dead Fic: The original was discontinued after January 28, 2019 and was later deleted in August 2021. For a long time, things were not looking hopeful for the republished version either, but it was finally continued on September 18, 2023.
- Disappointed in You: Albert tells his daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughters that he's disappointed in what they did to Lincoln, but ensures them that this doesn't mean that he hates them.
- Disproportionate Retribution: How the whole plot started. The Louds kicked Lincoln out because of the fact they believe he is bad luck in No Such Luck. As a result Lincoln gets shot while wandering the streets at night.
- The Dreaded: Whoever it was that ordered the hit on Lincoln. This mystery Big Bad is so feared, another shooter working for him who is about to be caught by Stone decides jumping into a trash compactor and getting crushed to death is preferable to what his boss might do if the police manage to make him talk.
- Everyone Has Standards: According to Lana, even Flip is disgusted by what the Louds did to Lincoln.
- Even Nerds Have Standards: Clyde, despite having a crush on Lori, is disgusted at her and the rest of Louds' actions towards Lincoln.
- Good Cop/Bad Cop: Detectives Brookes and Stone respectively. Brookes is the good cop who keeps his cool, while Stone is the bad cop who makes no secret of how much he despises the Louds for what they did and acts angry and antagonistic towards them. Justified for Stone, as he came from an abusive family himself, so for him, the case hits close to home.

- Humiliation Conga:
- The Louds in the first two chapters. Lynn Jr. loses a baseball game, Vanzilla gets towed due to Lynn Sr. having an expired driver's license which forces all of them to have to walk back home, the front door of the Loud house gets destroyed by Lisa as the only way to let any of them back in when the doorknob broke off, their TV just shows static, and, of course, Lincoln gets shot because the rest of the family kicked him out.

- Karma Houdini Warranty: The Loud family, especially the sisters, receive comeuppance for their actions towards Lincoln and are treated as pariahs as a result.

Then it's revealed that said crook, Simon Lynch, was actually hired by someone to kill Lincoln by purposely bumping into him after mugging someone. This leads to the sisters hoping to find out who it is to prove that they truly love Lincoln.

- The Oath-Breaker: In the "Ties That Bind", Rita and Lynn Loud Sr. promised the kids that they (the parents) would never kick any of them out. This is brought up by Lincoln when he tells his parents that they broke their promise by kicking him out over the bad luck debacle and believes that they were only referring to the girls and not him, which causes Rita and Lynn Loud Sr. to look down in guilt and shame unable to respond to that claim.

- The Dragon: It seems in the newest Chapter, the old man has a vicious Hunter more dangerous than Lynch or any other killer.

- You Have Failed Me: Lynch's Boss does this to him after finding out that Lincoln survived and has his mole kill Simon.
- You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: The reason Simon Lynch's boss wanted him dead after Lincoln was shot: he hoped his mole Aaron could get the job done before the police would arrest and interrogate Lynch, but Aaron was too late for that.
