* In the [[Danny Phantom]] fanfic [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2910656/1/Checkmate Checkmate], Vlad puts Danny through one of these. After first injecting Jazz with nanomachines that kill her red blood cells, and only sparing her if Danny leaves behind his friends and family to join him, Danny is forced to live at Vlad's mansion. Due to disuse while there, his ghost powers begin to go out of control, eventually leading to them going completely berserk and forcing Vlad to use a device to short out his ghost powers to get him under control. Due to not only the agony of the powers going wild, but the dream he had throughout the whole thing (it mostly occurred while he was asleep), he ends up backing into a corner and sobbing with terror, ending up in a state that caused even the almost entirely heartless Vlad to ask himself; "What have I done?"
{{quote|'''"Danny sat at the edge of the pool, crossed legged, watching carelessly the variety of fishes swimming about in the pool's surrounding aquarium. The tired and defeated expression on his face made him appear as if he had aged several years. There was no happiness or vigor in his eyes, leaving them a dull, lifeless blue. In short, he looked everything a broken hero would; and there was nothing more heartbreaking than that sight."'''}}
* [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5367085/1/The_Sun_Soul The Sun Soul] does this with [[Pokémon (anime)|Ash]] to no end. The story's overall feel is [[Darker and Edgier]] in pretty much every regard, but it seems like Ash was made for nothing if not to suffer one loss after another. It also contains multiple examples of [[Hero-Killer]] vilians, [[Wham! Episode|Wham Episodes]], and [[Holy Shit Quotient|HSQ]] in general.
* [http://www.fanfiction.net/u/8744/Thrythlind Thrythlind]'s explanation for Kodachi's personality in the ''[[Ranma ½]]'' fanfic ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/224016/1/Control Control]'', which is set in the same world as but prior to ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/223012/1/The_Amazon_and_The_Moneylender The Amazon and the Moneylender]''.
* The ''[[One Piece]]'' fanfic ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4132768/1/Dark_Truth Dark Truth]''. {{spoiler|One night, Luffy is tortured and nearly killed by his crew, who are possessed by the ghosts of a long-dead pirate crew who seek revenge on all captains traveling through their haunting grounds. He survives, but is a lethargic shell of his former self, and his crew can't remember what happened that night.}} Also contains [[Squick]], [[Nightmare Fuel]], [[And I Must Scream]], [[To the Pain]], [[Fate Worse Than Death]], and ''especially'' [[Et Tu, Brute?]].
Line 9:
* ''[[Forcibly United]]'' is a sort-of cheesy look at ''[[Ranma ½]]'' crossed-over with ''[[Black Lagoon]]''. Then the Rock's Little Sister arc drops.
* The ''[[Naruto]]'' [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3332676/1/Quotidian fanfic Quotidian] is basically one long exercise in Hidan driving Temari to the breaking point by messing with her first mentally and then physically, (She contributes by {{spoiler|taking so many stimulant shots her body pretty much breaks down and fails * just after* he decides he's not going to kill her yet}}. It works so well that she {{spoiler|ends up attacking her brother Kankurou after hallucinating he's Hidan and then ending up in hospital and under psyche review (which she passes through merit of knowing the correct answers)}}. Of course, if Hidan could be seen as a cutie, this could also work both ways as {{spoiler|he ends up so obsessed with the idea she can kill him that he breaks down when he finds out she can't, and that his obsession is no sign from his god, just him being a bit of a [[Stalker with a Crush]], even if he doesn't see it himself. Oh and he managed to agonize about betraying his beliefs in order to keep her alive (because he wants her to kill him later, naturally.)}}
* The ''[[Lucky Star]]''/''[[Fallout]] 3'' crossover fic ''[[Falling Stars (Lucky Star fanfic)|Falling Stars]]'' has this in ''spades''. Kagami, Konata, and Tsukasa all get their turns being broken, and it is ''extremely'' jarring for anyone who enjoyed ''Lucky Star'' to see it happen.
* In the ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' fanfic [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3656471/1/Omega_Dawn Omega Dawn], Both Ruxik, {{spoiler|Riku's Nobody}}, and Maleficent attempted to break Kairi by {{spoiler|killing Sora, defiled his body, attackig Destiny Islands, force her to fight a war against the Heartless, including Omegasis, the biggest and most ruthless heartless, who represent all evil, and later told her that they could bring back Sora, in order to make her stab herself with her own keyblade so she would become a Heartless and so, having the ultimate powers of the Princessess of Hearts at their hands}}. They almost succeeded on making her insane, but luckly, she regained her senses and fought back.
* Cosmo from [[Sonic X]] is broken enough in the series but [[Tails Returns (Darth Wiki)|Tails Returns]] breaks her further.
