Raccoon

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

Raccoon is a kill fic for the Sly Cooper fandom.

It starts off normal, the gang talking and laughing, then during role-call, Dimitri doesn't answer. After hearing Murray say Dimitri is out somewhere, he goes to find him. Once he gives up his search in an alleyway, he gets knocked out a lead pipe. He wakes up and unable to see, asks where he is. A chilling laugh followed by a shout of "Crackerbox". Sly recognizes the voice at once, and finds out his thoughts are true. It turns out Dimitri was the attacker. Dimitri stands there with a bloodied machete and a Slasher Smile. He explains to Sly that he hates that Sly gets all the attention and praise. As well as explaining that he's going to kill him. Oh and two more things, the room it takes place in is filled with corpses, blood, entrails, organs, body parts and bones and the entire fic was based off some nightmares the author had.It can be found here.

All spoilers are marked.

Tropes used in Raccoon include:
  • Afraid of Needles: Sly.
  • Axe Crazy: Dimitri.
  • Beat Still My Heart: The final organ ripped out is Sly's heart.
  • Blood From the Mouth: Twice, when Sly is knocked out, the other after a piece of a broken rib bone pierces a lung.
  • Catapult Nightmare: The one time Sly can sleep, he has one.
  • Complete Monster: Dimitri, for a few reasons: Aside from the obvious fact of Dimitri brutally torturing and killing Sly, we have the lovely bit of info that Dimitri is shooting adrenaline into Sly and is making him feel all the pain. More you say? He's been doing this for a long time, and why? Because the thief got to some kind of loot before him. Anything else? No one, (the victims die, so obviously it doesn't count) thief, villain, law enforcement or otherwise knows about this. And he's getting away with it, though chances are some innocent victims may have wandered into the place, so he killed them too. Which makes it so, so, so much worse.
  • Couldn't Find a Pen: Dimitri carves into Sly's chest, leaving words in what is described to resemble shiny scarlet ink.
  • Dark Fic: Quite a dark one in fact.
  • Death Fic: In which the hero dies.
  • Evil Laugh: Dimitri.
  • Eye Scream: Twice, once with a corkscrew, the other just ripped out.
  • Fingore: TONS of it.(Including the toes)
  • Gorn: See Fingore.
  • High Octane Nightmare Fuel: Everything that follows after Sly being knocked out.
  • Laughing Mad: Dimitri, of course.
  • Licking the Blade: Much to Sly's disgust and fear.
  • Oh Crap: Sly mutters "Oh shit" right before the Fingore.
  • Precision F-Strike: Sly drops one right after Dimitri nails Sly's now severed tail to the wall

Sly: What. The. Fuck.
