History TearJerker / FanWorks

* [[https://www.deviantart.com/alexornisantecedens/art/Death-of-a-Dynasty-445719597 Another Death of a Dynasty remake]] takes the Tyrannosaurus Rex mother's already heartbreaking death and takes it up to eleven. Unlike in the original episode, the father T.rex is not driven away by his mate and instead stays to help her look after their young. But they still get into a fight with an Ankylosaurus, and not only is the mother still fatally injured, as in the original, ''but her mate is also killed by the same Ankylosaurus.'' This means that not only do the babies [[TheCretaceousIsAlwaysDoomed still suffer the same fate as in the original]], but ''they watch BOTH of their parents die''.

* Lesser known Youtuber LetsPlay/BryanCroiDragon's reaction to Yuri's suicide is far more subdued but no less of a tearjerker. He doesn't scream, he just stares in shock and when all is over all he can say with a sad tone is Yuri's name.

* ''Fanfic/ThomasAbridged'' has an absolute truckload, especially when the darker points of the plot start to hit home:
** The Narrator's description of Henry's crash from Chapter 19:
---> ''[James] reversed back onto another track, ready to give [Henry] a piece of his mind.''\\
"HENRY! YOU BLITHERING IDIOT! YOU- You...you-" ''He stared.''\\
''Because for the first time, Henry the Green Engine [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness wasn't responding to a jibe made by him.]]''\\
''In fact, he wasn't responding at all.''\\
"Oh no." ''James whispered.''
** "Toby and the Stout Gentleman." It deals in the introduction of the tram-engine Toby, and his faithful companion Henrietta as they work on a slowly dying remote mountain rail line. Both of them are well aware that the old line is closing down as more and more goods and people are being moved by the roads than rail, but the entire time Toby keeps that [[StepfordSmiler fragile smile]] on his face, up until the very end. When the line finally closes, he bids farewell to Henrietta, and backs into his shed for the last time.
---> ''Engines can sleep forever, if they so wish.''
** Carlin's departure from Sodor at the end of Season 4 is quite moving, which is made all the more sadder when even Percy, who's usually the last one to get emotional, starts sniffling.
** Even more so for [=BoCo's=] departure in "Double Teething Troubles", especially when [[HeterosexualLifePartners he and Edward]] talk for the last time. [[spoiler: And then it turns to downright ''tragic'' when he's murdered by 'Arry and Bert on his way to the Mainland. Even the ''narrator'' seems saddened.]]
** The death of Bertram/Smudger in Part 3 of Magic Railroad.
** Duke's HeroicSacrifice in Part 8 of Magic Railorad.
** The ending of "Edward's Brass Band".
** The end of "Three Cheers For Thomas", with The Fat Controller saying goodbye to Britt Allcroft and David Mitton, The Ffarquhar and Wellsworth branch lines getting closed down and Duck, Donald and Douglas deciding to leave the steam team behind due to the three of them being fugitives and The Steam Team thinking of the old Sodor to help them through Seasons 8-16.

* From the 1.5 hours or so of fanvid of doujinshi ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxtTNsn6C2w Touhou Little Reimu]]'' is one of the most tearjerking, heartfelt stories ever encountered.
** In the author's own words, "This is a story of when Hakurei Reimu was still young and the man-eating youkai (Rumia) was big." It can be split up into two parts: the heartwarming story of a newly formed family and the emotional spiral out of control as Rumia's man-eating instincts take over, leading to the death of the elder Hakurei miko, memory wipes, and a load of DAMN YOU YUKARI!!
** Luckily, there is the sequel, that ends up with a BittersweetEnding: Rumia regaining her memories and adult-like appearance and fighting against Reimu. After Rumia is defeated, she begs Reimu for forgiveness for having killed her mother years ago before she fades away. And [[EverybodyCries all the while Marisa (Reimu included) and the others are bawling their eyes out]]. Ouch.
*** Mercifully, the final episode ends on a much happier, albeit still slightly bittersweet note: Reimu shatters reality with Fantasy Heaven to resurrect Rumia, and they and Yukari all get to say goodbye to Reimu's Mother. In the end, Reimu and Rumia are holding hands.
** Now has [[Fanfic/OsanaReimu its own page]], for the interested.

* In ''Series/TheVampireDiaries'' story ''Disaster'', [[GenderFlip Jill]] has to compel Elena to go home and stop trying to get her to come back. You can tell it's not something that she wants to do, but something that she feels that she has to do to Elena safe from Klaus.

* ''[[http://yj-anon-meme.livejournal.com/689.html?thread=1000369 Hammurabi's Robin]]'' is basically a retelling of the [[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries B:TAS]] episode "Robin's Reckoning" in the ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' universe. During the climax, which consists of Robin dangling Zucco off an office building while the team tries to convince him not to drop him, pretty much everything out of Robin's mouth is a TearJerker.

* A scene in LeDiz's ''Anime/YuGiOh'' fanfiction ''Akh''. You wouldn't think that a fanfic with the major purpose of keeping Atem from dying could be packed with one TearJerker after another, but it is. It ''so'' is.

* Another ''Anime/YuGiOh'' fanfiction, ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3051988/1/ Lessons Learned]]'' by ''Periphery,'' has a few tearjerkers crawling about. The gang are put through hell and back by being dumped in a rain forest, when they thought they were being sent off to duel a crazy woman who still holds the fact that Seto beat her in a game of chess when he was ''eight'' against him, wants revenge, and to this end has kidnapped his brother (long, long story). What makes the whole story a tearjerker is the fact that Yugi isn't even in a lot of the story because he's somewhat preoccupied with trying not to ''die,'' the stress of his friends trying to deal with this, right up to the moment where his heart stops, takes up a good third of the story, but by far the worst scene is when Joey gets a call from his formely ill sister Serenity (who only has eye sight because Yugi gave his three million yen prize money at the Duelist Kingdom to Joey to pay for her operation):

* Another ''Anime/YuGiOh'' fanfiction, ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2651008/1/bPhoenix_b Phoenix]]'' by Mittens no Hikari that also involves Serenity. It's only a two chapter story, but after Yugi's house burns down with him and his friends inside, you better believe the entire second chapter is a tear jerker.

* [[https://cheezburger.com/7897932288/cant-deal-with-all-these-feels A Cubone and a Phantump]] spend their whole lives together, waiting in vain for their mothers to come home. The second panel shows them as a Marowak and Trevenant, and the third shows Trevenant's empty tree trunk overgrown with vines and Marowak's skull resting at its base.
