Glass Cannon/Fan Works

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

Examples of Glass Cannons in Fan Works include:

  • In An Entry With a Bang!, the marauding pirates with their BattleTech... uh, tech... are somewhat confused by the fact that while Clancy-Earth has highly effective BVR capability, their warmachines can't take hits worth a damn.
    • On the other end of the scale, C-Earth technicians are utterly baffled as to why BT doesn't have a gun capable of blowing apart a mech in one shot, since as far as they're concerned, "Any gun that isn't a One-Hit Kill isn't worth having."
  • The Firefly fanfic Forward puts an emphasis on River being one of these; she's portrayed as fast and powerful but one good hit puts her down - which happens several times in the story.
