* A combined [[Tear Jerker]] and [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] occurs during chapter 26 of the ''[[Terminator]]/[[Sailor Moon]]/[[Ranma ½]]'' crossover fic ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/979911/1/Sailor_Ranko_Tunnel_Vision Tunnel Vision]'' when {{spoiler|Ryouga}} makes a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] to take down Sky Net. As always though, {{spoiler|the [[Status Quo Is God]] and the [[Reset Button]] is hit hard by the end of the story}}

* Even if a lot of the slash stories between Steve Rogers and Tony Stark are sad, there's one that had me bawling all over my pc the first time I read it. Even so, it stills make me cry every time. It's an Avengers/Sandman crossover and it's the biggest [[Tear Jerker]] I've faced in my life. [http://aliana-iskassa.livejournal.com/40678.html#cutid1 ''"The Sound of Wings - Aliana Iskassa"''] You've been warned.

* [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3673824/1/End_Of_the_Line End of The Line]. All of it. It's classified as Angst/Humor, but it's much, much more. Just read it.

* [[The Mad Scientist Wars]] has a few of these, most notably in Tales of Madness.

{{quote|''"Ah," a soft voice beside me said in surprise. I had tried to move, and found that it was probably a better idea not to do that again. "You're awake," the voice, a quiet girly voice, noted.''

''Awake? Was I asleep? The cotton began to clear, and I began trying to remember the last thing I was doing…. It struck me. Images, sounds, memories; they came rushing back to me. The battle, my falling, the clearing in the trees I had found myself in…''

* In [[One and Only Son]], {{spoiler|Euphemia dies, just like in canon, but this time she was killed by Kinue, following orders of Nena Trinity. To see her begging Suzaku and Alexander (Soran) to not hate Lelouch before she dies is pretty sad. Not to mention Saji's freakout when he discovers that it was her sister who killed her.}}

* In The Three Kingdoms, a megacrossover fanfic written by Dra2k4 at Deviantart where fictional beings and vehicles were transported at the real world in Dec. 21 2012, followed by a war. Then at Dec. 21, 2013, a war in a day happens, this time breaking the law that states for no one to die. {{spoiler|Naluri and Sasaki travels back through time, make sure nobody dies or stays dead. They make sure that Doom and Magneto's plans doesn't work. Then there's the Past Naluri and Sasaki riding the Dolerean to go back through time. Future Naluri and Sasaki died when they stopped the attempt of time travel, in order to prevent overriding any changed in the timeline.}} In the end they do stop the on going war, but at the cost of two deaths.

 

 

** Adding to the tear-jerking is towards the end, the fact that 1, [[Jerkass|of]] ''[[Jerkass|all]]'' [[Jerkass|people]], {{spoiler|suggests praying for 4, and is apparently having trouble speaking himself.}}

* [http://movie9.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=fsa&action=display&thread=55397 Bleak But Hopeful] is a fanfic for 9, written before the movie was released and back when people thought the feature film would end in a similar way the short did. It's told sort of through the point of view of the Fabrication Machine (known as 114-DOM in the story) as 9 comes to it and basically talks to it about what has happened.

** Yet another fic written pre-movie, when everyone was under this belief, is [http://movie9.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=ffs&action=display&thread=2173 Daybreak's Light]. The fic actually begins with 9, all alone, wandering the desolate wasteland in mourning of his friends, {{spoiler|and later collapsing in exhaustion. He believes himself to be hallucinating the other Stitchpunks, but is actually dying. The part where he finally dies and is reunited with the others in Paradise manages to give one tears of sadness then happiness within ten seconds.}}

* [http://lilweirdomokyn.livejournal.com/40516.html Delirium], a fanfic for 9, has one part where we follow the memory of a little boy shortly before the machine rebellion, and then him as an adult. The transitioning paragraph says this:

== A ==

=== [[Ace Attorney]] ===

 

=== [[Animaniacs]] ===

** I can't help but second that nomination as well as suggest this for any future [[Fan Fic Recommendations]] for [[Animaniacs]].

 

* How can someone talk about Hetalia tearjerkers without mentioning [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5532690/1/bOctober_b_bTwenty_b_bFourth_b October Twenty-Fourth]? An [[Alternate Universe|AU]] fic where Prussia tries to recover from a serious illness, all while his younger brother Germany tries both his hardest to help, and to keep on living normally. Germany visits him every single day in his hospital room, keeping him company, and, to put it lightly, [[And Then It Got Worse|things go downhill]] {{spoiler|as he watches his brother wither, go insane, and eventually die before his very eyes}}. The writing's lovely, the characterization is perfect, and the ending is quite heartwrenching. {{spoiler|[[Never Got to Say Goodbye]], taken to its most moving extreme.}}

* The [[Axis Powers Hetalia]] [[Doujinshi]] ''Der Erste Stern'' is a complete [[Tear Jerker]], all four parts of it. There are no regrets to getting it, though the entire thing is just heartbreaking.

** Don't get me started on Dolfin. It is by far the best Hetalia doujinshi—or even doujinshi in general—that I've ever read. I sobbed from start to end, and then for another half an hour or so after. I still cry whenever I reread it. How Veneziano and Feliciano are so similar, yet in the end they're not the same... and the {{spoiler|deaths of both characters, especially Feliciano's, when Germany was just finally getting over Veneziano}}... God, I don't think I could possibly express how hysterical this made me.

* ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5731362/1/Here_comes_the_candle Here comes the candle,]'' in which, due to economic problems, Arthur becomes the 51st state, is utterly heartbreaking. ''Very'' well written; it caused someone who's sat through some of the most famously depressing [[Vocaloid]] songs with a straight face to burst into tears. Arthur is depressed, Alfred is convinced that Arthur hates him, and the ending is [[Downer Ending|tearjerkingly tragic.]] {{spoiler|After a century of statehood, the American govenment declares that the citizens of the '51st state' will officially be full American citizens, as opposed to thier duel British/American nationality they had before. This shift causes Arthur to die. Upon witnessing this, Alfred has a breakdown, stating that he is "happy" while [[Driven to Suicide|strangling himself to death.]] His final prayer is especially [[Tear Jerker|tear jerking]]:}}

 

=== [[Buffy Verse]] ===

** Oh, and {{spoiler|Anya's}} [[Heroic Sacrifice]] in "The Offering". Especially how Xander keeps talking before he realises she's dead. Ow.

** ''And'', Willow's speech to {{spoiler|Kennedy's Grave}} in "Buried", finally admitting {{spoiler|she truly did love Kennedy, but never really told her because it felt like a betrayal to Tara - and now it's too late}}

{{quote|{{spoiler|Crowley: Listen, as much as I appreciate the offer, and only since it means there’s no torture involved for me, I’m not interested. I somehow doubt you’ll let me keep messing with people. I’d rather be in pain than bored, and your side is blessedly boring... Besides, after all that shit you just put me through, I ''really'' fucking hate you. And Aziraphale! Why the fuck would you bring me back to life and not him? What the fuck is ''wrong with you! What am '''I''' without '''him'''?''}}}}

** Also, in the sequel, [[Paradise Thwarted]], there was {{spoiler|[[Deadpan Snarker|Gabriel's]] [[Not So Stoic|reaction]] to Michael's death}}.

 

=== [[Gorillaz]] ===

** Definitely the entire Battle of Hogwarts, but it was the chapter ''after'' that, where {{spoiler|Ernie sacrifices his life for his wife and unborn child.}} That should have been a complete [[Narm]], but actually came off as beautiful and sob-worthy.

** Seamus' speech in the second. [[It Got Worse|And then Colin's in the eighth]].

** And really, DAYD will look like small potatoes by the time you finish its sequel ''Sluagh''.

*** {{spoiler|Chapter 15. Dear ''God'', [[Kill'Em All|Chapter 15]].}}

 

=== [[Looking for Group]] ===

 

=== [[Lyrical Nanoha]] ===

* This [[Mass Effect]] one shot fic called [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5971356/1/The_bHundred_b_bYear_b_bDistance_b The Hundred Year Distance] is bittersweet at best. To sum up the story in basic detail without any spoilers: It's about Garrus and Shepard spending their last days together, as they are near the end of their lifespan.

* The [[Mass Effect]] fanfic [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6038495/1/Nothing_Ventured_Nothing_Gained Nothing Ventured Nothing Gained] has just featured a rather poignant moment, in the opening to the eighth chapter. {{spoiler|Kolyat Krios is trying to write a message to Thane, and can't find the words.}} It's simple, but it's so in character and right.

 

=== [[Mega Man X]] ===

=== [[My Little Pony]] ===

* [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6684207/1/The_Last_Treasure ''The Last Treasure''].

** I may be overthinking this, but [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAPMsEweLQg this] AMV is both sad and heartwarming. It just seems to be about all the cynical adults who watch this innocent, adorable show about ponies and feel like kids again. "[[Growing Up Sucks|I'm never growing up.]]"

* ''Growing Up''. Just the fact that Spike is [[We Are as Mayflies|outliving all his friends]], and has seen the deaths of many of them, including Fluttershy, Big Macintosh, Pinkie Pie, Twilight Sparkle, and Rainbow Dash. The descriptions of their deaths make things even worse. Moreover, it's implied that most of the other cast members are dead, including the Mayor, Zecora, the current Wonderbolts, Hoity Toity, Photo Finish, and Braeburn, just to name a few.

* ''Forever is Forever''. Applejack {{spoiler|in heaven,}} period.

 

== N ==

== R ==

=== [[Ranma ½]] ===

 

=== [[Redwall]] ===

=== [[Tales (series)]] ===

* [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2510204/1/Two_Worlds_Combined Two Worlds Combined]. [[Tales of Symphonia|The Tower of Salvation]]. Words cannot do it justice.

 

=== [[Team Fortress 2]] ===

{{quote|''"His eyes shot open wide, and suddenly he could see his home, in a small village, his mother calling his name with open arms, and the sun was so bright and everything was yellow and green and warm... And then he was home."''}}

** {{spoiler|Pyro}}'s death, especially considering how he had spent most of the fic as Medic's [[Morality Pet]].

 

=== [[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]] ===

 

=== [[The West Wing]] ===

 

=== [[With Strings Attached]] ===

** That would be [http://sir-talen.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d8dbvp Good Landing] by Royce Day (Sir-Talen on [[Deviant ART]]. Well, myself actually.) Thank you kindly for the ref.

*** It's a true artistic [[Tear Jerker]]. You're welcome.

* [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3649754/1/Amiss This wrestling fic] swings hard between this, [[Paranoia Fuel]], and [[Nightmare Fuel]], but the current newest chapter, 18, where {{spoiler|Kane has convinced Rey Mysterio that he has died and is in Hell}} and Rey's begging and pleading reaction after all he's been put through {{spoiler|apparently bouncing between two crappy realities}}...especially while {{spoiler|Kane is STILL torturing him during it}}...just holy crap.

** [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3649754/19/Amiss Chapter 19] is up...apparently the final chapter and major downer ending...{{spoiler|Rey puts a comment from his friend Batista from earlier together with what's happening, and thinks he's caused the damnation of him as well, and completely gives up, just waiting to fall sleep in the hospital bed which will send him back to be tortured by Kane.}} A sequel is promised with a title that implies things may not stay so bleak though.

* I can't remember the name or the series, but it was set in one of those games where you can have wildly different levels of civilization coexisting. In it, a primitive seagoing force (in wooden, oar-powered ships) is repelled by a modern force (metal boats, that ram the wooden ones as missiles won't take and lay down machine-gun fire. One of the survivors, completely broken by the attack into a childlike state, pityfully asks what's going on several times, before one of the soldiers gives him a [[Mercy Kill]].

** Note - You might be talking about the game Civilization.
