* ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wv8mCt046sk Real Anpanman]'' is a tongue-in-cheek darkfic that tells the story of the kid-friendly superhero being betrayed and nearly killed by all his friends, sending him on a [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]].
* ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' fandom might be collectively the crowning champion of this trope. The series was pretty dark to begin with, but amongst fans known for [[Everyone Is Jesus in Purgatory|analysing everything down to the smallest detail]] the ability to tease out the smallest aspect and expand upon every twisted meaning or interpretation is phenomenal. A far from comprehensive list:
** [http://www.fanfiction.net/u/819499/Adam_Kadmon Adam Kadmon] has written some of the darkest fics you're likely to encounter. ''[http://www.darkscribes.org/story/765 Witness]{{Dead link}}'' is [[Crosses the Line Twice|particularly]] [[Despair Event Horizon|hard-hitting]].
** [http://www.fanfiction.net/u/64284/Random1377 Random1377] is another prolific ''NGE'' darkfic author, with entries such as ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1259313/1/The_Lifespan_of_a_Love_Affair The Lifespan of a Love Affair]'' (a brutal deconstruction of the [[May–December Romance|Misato/Shinji pairing]]), ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1747319/1/Let_She_Who_is_Without_Sin Let She Who is Without Sin]'' (about a [[Serial Killer]]), and ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/483402/1/Aoi Aoi]'' (includes Shinji being killed in the first chapter, and falls apart from there).
** ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4018747/1/bAlive_b Alive]'' takes the verse's base darkness several steps further by introducing one more factor: {{spoiler|the real reason why Rei is so subservient to Gendo is that he's sexually abusing (and by abusing I mean '''''brutally raping''''') her on a constant basis and [[Expendable Clone|she's too scared for her life]] to do anything about it}}. Even worse, {{spoiler|the last chapter implies that Ritsuko is well aware of it}}. It's also sadly a [[Dead Fic]] which means the darkness won't get resolved.
