''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…''

* 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.
* The [[Doujinshi]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20131029081109/http://animoobs.tumblr.com/post/6166685477/dolfin-gerita Dolfin]: Basically, Italy Veneziano experiences the acqua alta phenomenon {{spoiler|and drowns as a country, despite Germany's efforts to save him}}. Twenty years later, {{spoiler|in an attempt to [[Set Right What Once Went Wrong|bring Italy back]]}}, Germany goes back to the sunken Venice and meets a young Gondolier named Feliciano who [[Back from the Dead|looks a hell lot like Veneziano]]. They get closer, and things somehow go downhill from there.
** 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]]:}}

{{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}}.
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20110915061858/http://library.good-omens.com/viewstory.php?sid=415&warning=4 Prodigal Son] and its remix, [https://web.archive.org/web/20110915023124/http://library.good-omens.com/viewstory.php?sid=450 Safe Haven], about Crowley taking care of a broken Aziraphale who had been trapped in a Nazi concentration camp and has lost faith. {{spoiler|Especially when Crowley sacrifices the relationship they had developed to encourage Aziraphale to talk to God and restore his faith.}} Incidentally, it's by the same person who wrote Manchester Lost.

Line 311 ⟶ 313:
** 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]].
** Really, [https://web.archive.org/web/20100621071339/http://www.fanfiction.net/~thanfiction the entire Dumbledore's Armyverse] is rife with them. This author is a sadist. Good, but a sadist. You'll be rereading JKR's Snape backstory and Harry's final walk into the forest just to cheer yourself up after this author forces you to take a long, hard look at what it means when teenagers go to war.
** 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]].}}

* 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.
* Like the above troper<ref>Editor's note: this is referring to the troper who wrote “The Tyrant God”, whose entry is now listed below under the N section.</ref> I became misty-eyed writing a certain point in my ''[[Mass Effect 2]]'' fic ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5932238/1/ Pariah]''{{Dead link}}. It shows a different angle on resident [[Complete Monster]] Morinth by introducing a character she can't control and turning everything upside down. {{spoiler|1=This character dies via [[Last Stand]]/[[Taking You with Me]] and sacrifices herself to ''protect'' Morinth. The half point of the chapter finishes with a [[Died in Your Arms Tonight]]/[[Mercy Kill]] moment}} One reviewer drew [http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m254/Crimmson/forum%20pics/AshiraPariah.png this] in reaction to that particular scene.

* [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6684207/1/The_Last_Treasure ''The Last Treasure''].
* They have yet to be reposted anywhere else, but one ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic]]'' thread on /co/ had an Anon ask "Which character makes you feel the most sympathetic when they cry?" Someone answered "Pinkie Pie. [[Tempting Fate|Can you even imagine,]] [[Fun Personified|someone as constantly happy and upbeat as her,]] [[Break the Cutie|being reduced to tears?]]" [https://web.archive.org/web/20110824023502/http://arch.413chan.net/co22819270.html#22820488 Two writers rose to the challenge.]<ref>Keep in mind the [[Fanon|fan interpretation]] that Pinkie Pie has [[Medium Awareness]].</ref> My body wasn't ready.
** 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.]]"
** The background character known as Derpy Hooves seems to attract [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RgkrBTryVCfmAARA5ZCMTY4nTa2ta2-mhmdpxvipEoA/edit?hl=en&pli=1#%20 a] [https://web.archive.org/web/20131212210515/http://arch.413chan.net/MyMuffinDerpyDoesn%27tgotoSchool-%28n1296572189692%29.png lot] [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xy28CF7zMdwfbmRnBnIXygJxnHR7UZqgSdjt7YX0dBA/edit?hl=en# of] sadfics. (Read these three in order for maximum effect.)
* ''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.

Since she was present, Melanie C pretty much wants the narrator [[Mercy Kill| kill her to end the pain]] as [[I Cannot Self-Terminate| unable she to do so herself]]. {{spoiler| The narrator doesn't through with it as she was thought about those who would miss Melanie C, even if they understood the reasons.}}
