* Most of [[X Meets Y|X meets]] [[And I Must Scream|I have no mouth and I must scream]] fanfics deserve a place here forever, especially ''[[Visual Novel]]/Katawa Shoujo'' crossover [http://ks.renai.us/viewtopic.php?f=52&t=5538 "With apologies to Harlan Elliston"]. There is something...chilling while reading constant mind/body rapes about girls from a somewhat hearhwarming visual novel.

** Active description of Nod's combat stims, with at least one reviewer commenting that they were out and out terrified by the description of it in action.

** And back on the GDI side: Zone Troopers and their ''railguns''. They have ultra-durable [[Powered Armor]], inhuman accuracy thanks to their sensors, can penetrate armor and buildings effortlessly, and the Nod infantry regulars facing them ''don't even have standardized rifles'', let alone equipment to compete.

** The "smart" claymores. They're small, innocuous disc-like devices that can be attached to walls or ceilings. If you're wearing a recognized uniform or IFF tag, it lets you pass. If you're not, it will hit you with a cloud of hypersonic shrapnel and white phosphorous that literally leaves the victim spread across an entire room as nothing but blackened meat and shredded equipment.

** '''Inducer psychics.''' You think ''River'' was kind of creepy? She can only read your mind. In this story, one of the other projects the Academy was working on were Inducer psychics, who can alter and control your emotions and feelings. But its worse than mere [[Mind Manipulation]]; there is ''no defense'' against them, even if you know what they're doing, and their effects are lasting. If an Inducer makes you hate someone, you'll keep hating them for no fathomable reason. If the Inducer makes you love someone, you'll still love them, even if you ''hate'' them too, again for no reason. Many of the story's reviewers found the description of the Inducers to be terrifying, and this became even more pronounced when they learned {{spoiler|the entire story arc introducing them involved one actively controlling the entire crew for her own ends. ''Including River''}}.

* "[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2063982/1/Control Control]", an ''[[Azumanga Daioh]]'' fanfic. It's extremely well-written, includes some well-crafted Fan Characters who manage to avoid [[Gary Stu]] territory, it takes some "controversial" approaches to some characters (especially Yukari) without straying too far [[Character Derailment|out of line]]... and if you've ever considered trying hard drugs before reading this, ''you never will again''. It's rated M not just for some [[Lemon]] scenes ({{spoiler|some involving rape}}) but also some of the most graphic violence ever seen in an ''Azumanga'' fic ({{spoiler|as well as explicit accounts of the ''horrible'' pain of drug withdrawal}}).

* The entirety of "[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4633752/1/He_Had_No_Fingers He had no fingers]", a sort of [[Cosmic Horror]] ''[[Naruto]]'' fic, starting with Naruto's body and spirit getting warped beyond recognition by the Nine-Tails until... well, the title is indicative. "Highlight" right at the beginning: {{spoiler|Naruto's belly opening up and DEVOURING Kakashi (and Naruto then feeding the bits to passing strays).}} And that's basically the mildest thing in the whole fic.

* The aptly named horror fic ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4868294/1/Nightmares Nightmares]''. This is a fanfic of ''[[The Brave Little Toaster]]'', a movie already known for Nightmare Fuel. To clarify, the story is a series of first-person vignettes, detailing the horrific dreams of the other four main characters during Toaster's [[Nightmare Sequence]]. It starts out only slightly unsettling, but gradually builds up, accumulating in the truly horrifying Chapter 4.

The [[Big Bad]] is {{spoiler|Lloyd's grandmother}}, Maetala, a [[Complete Monster]] of a caliber that makes Alucard look tame. After turning Lloyd into a vampire, she twists and manipulates him into giving up what little humanity he has still retained {{spoiler|encouraging him to eat a boar alive is probably the ''least'' horrifying thing she does all fic long}}, and the results leave Lloyd, a canonical [[Determinator]] a ''psychological wreck'' and makes it ''horrifically believable.''

* You wouldn't think horror and ''[[Lucky Star]]'' could go together...until you read ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5246822/1/Ahoge Ahoge]''. Tsukasa is (arguably) taken down to extreme [[The Ditz|ditz]] levels when she thinks Konata's [[Idiot Hair]] could grow into a plant... This is either [[Took a Level In Badass|badass]] or just plain [[Character Derailment]]. The last chapter is an especially horrifying as Sojiro Izumi takes revenge on the entire Hiiragi family {{spoiler|through [[Cold-Blooded Torture]]. A, umm, ''nail gun'' is involved at one point}}. You probably won't look at Tsukasa the same way again.

* There are a lot of disturbing ''[[Pokémon]]'' fics out there, but the second half of ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6090923/1/Reunion Reunion]'' is just downright disturbing and at times grotesque. It starts off as a slightly darker AAML fic, with a lot of funny scenes, and then--{{spoiler|Butch gets his throat torn out by a Mighteyana, a sadistic psychic rocket elite who assimilates the minds of the humans and Pokemon he kills is literally torn apart as the souls he absorbed struggle to free themselves by literally growing off of his flesh, before throwing themselves to their deaths...with smiles on their lips...}} And ''it gets worse'' from there...

First, you have Tommy's multiple personalities anthropomorphized as an [[Eldritch Abomination]]. Then, you have...pretty much anything dealing with Nyghtmayr or the Shadow Empire. Did we mention that since the main rangers are trying to get witnesses for Zordon's trial, ''children'' fight Shadowborg?

''using their own blood to literally rip them apart''}}, a side-story involving some original characters {{spoiler|where a troubled soldier tortures his own father by slowly removing his skin in small patches and giving him an occasional hit of opium ''just to keep him conscious through it''}}, and lastly, {{spoiler|Zuko confronting and killing Ozai, who has lost his mind entirely to the point that he thinks he's fighting ''Iroh'' instead.}} Also, one of the aforementioned original characters {{spoiler|is a borderline pedophile, and very heavily implied to be sexing it up with Azula.}}

The reality: Sokka {{spoiler|immediately gets tortured and killed, since the Fire Nation has no use for him}}. Katara {{spoiler|gets her tongue cut out and turned into a gladiator-style "training exercise" for Fire Nation soldiers, to get them to practice fighting a waterbender.

Aang {{spoiler|gets both his eyes put out and thrown into prison to live out the remainder of his life in misery. He goes insane}}. Toph {{spoiler|wasn't even in book one, but also gets killed off for no good reason but to add angst}}. Finally, Zuko {{spoiler|goes completely mad from guilt and drinks himself into oblivion, conjuring up detailed delusions of himself joining the Avatar and teaching him firebending, falling in love with Katara, bringing down his father, and ending the war}}. After reading, you feel like you want to scrub your brain clean of the images.

* The [[Avatar: The Last Airbender]] Fanfiction, [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5010016/1/Bad_Ends Bad Ends], is [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]. It's a series of one shots depicting a rather different ending to what we're expected from episodes and moments in the show. For example, {{spoiler|Katara, in her little undercover mission to save Haru from the Earthbending Prison, is captured and sentenced to the barrocks for the men to [[Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil|play with]].}} Then, {{spoiler|Remember when Zhao said he wouldn't kill the Avatar, but keep him alive, but just barely?}}. Honestly, it's a Darker and Edger retelling of most of the series, and once you read them, you'll be glad the Series had the endings that it DID.
