* 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.
* ''[[Tiberium Wars (Fanfic)|Tiberium Wars]] Tiberium Wars'' is ''loaded'' with this, most often dealing with [[Church Militant|the Brotherhood of Nod]]. Among the highlights:
** 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.
** The Black Hand's [[Kill It with Fire|love of fire]], including a rather chilling scene where they move through a burning building.
Line 60:
* 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...
* Much of the ''Evangelion'' fic ''[[And If That Don't Work]]'' qualifies, but really the standout if when the acid-dripping spider angel managed to turn {{spoiler|the entry plug of Unit 02}} into a vat of acid and the resultant fate of {{spoiler|the pilot}}. This is even worse considering her fate is blatant [[Author Appeal]]; ''none'' of the characters view it to be a bad thing for more than a few sentences and even {{spoiler|Asuka herself}} considers it an improvement.
* ''[[Shinji and Warhammer 40 K (Fanfic)Warhammer40K|Shinji and Warhammer 40 K]]'' mostly manages to cancel any horror with mind-boggling levels of awesome, but plenty of things slip through. Sahaquiel killing who knows how many millions of people around the planet in less than a day by flinging parts of itself into various cities and utterly annihilating two of them wasn't exactly pleasant. The [[Zombie Apocalypse]] unleashed on Tokyo-3 was far worse, with zombies that ''teleport anywhere they want'', can even infect the dead and heal quickly from almost any damage, only a bolter round to the head a guaranteed kill. The crowning jewel however is what happens when {{spoiler|the Earth's Cradle crashes into Germany}}. Essentially, it combines the Necrons ([[Omnicidal Maniac|kill everything]]), Tyranids ([[Horde of Alien Locusts|eat everything]]) and Chaos ([[The Corruption|corrupt everything]]) into an impossibly horrible amalgam that {{spoiler|renders most of the continent barren and swarming with monsters, leaving nothing behind}}. The intimate accounts of some of the survivors are custom-made nightmare material.
* [[Darker and Edgier]] [[Redwall]] fanfic ''Vengeance Quest'' is brilliant, but terrifying. The violence was one thing, but Guardcaptain Kiern's attitude is also creepy: he's pretty sure the actions of his sadistic co-workers are morally wrong, ''[[Well-Intentioned Extremist|and lets them happen anyway]].'' There's a scene where Captain Veneno rapes a prisoner in order to force her husband to spill the info they need, in front of Kiern, who's getting progressively more uncomfortable, but still doesn't do anything to stop him because there's no other way they'll get the information. Later on he talks to [[Big Bad]] Nightdeath Longclaws about it, essentially asking to be persuaded that it was okay to do this. Brrrr.
* The description of Azkaban in ''[[Methods of Rationality]]''--especially the woman who accidentally killed someone, immediately went insane with remorse, and then is forced to relive the moment of the murder over and over by the Dementors. Also, the scenes where Harry is walking around protected by the {{spoiler|True Patronus}}, giving momentary relief to the prisoners in the cells he passes, but forced to keep walking and leave them again to the Dementors, and hearing their screams to stay. The in-story Aesop is that Azkaban is simply evil, and afterwards Harry concludes that because the nominally democratic magical government allows Azkaban to exist and in fact runs it, he is under no obligation to obey the wishes of the majority.
Line 84:
** The final part of chapter 26 begins with this author's note:
{{quote|{{spoiler|TRIGGER WARNING for blood, violent acts and images, and the behavior that revolves around this theme. If you are not comfortable with these types of scenes and images, I strongly urge you NOT TO CONTINUE.}}}}
* ''[[Ultimate Sleepwalker (Fanfic)|Ultimate Sleepwalker: The New Dreams]]'' has multiple examples, fitting for a series whose protagonist is an alien from another dimension who fights supernatural horrors and demons:
** The nightmarish dream world that Sleepwalker's [[Arch Enemy]] Cobweb creates by possessing the mind of scared young [[Reality Warper]] Kevin [[Mac Taggart]]. The dream world is a shifting twilight world of ugly colors, half-seen images and distorted surroundings that threatens to grow and expand like a cancerous tumor until it consumes the whole Earth, engulfing the minds of everyone on the planet in its wake;
** Cobweb himself, a demon from the Mindscape who thrives on the [[Cycle Of Hate]] caused by racism, violence and war, and actively tries to fan the flames of hatred that arise from such conflicts. He also brutally kidnaps and tortures Sleepwalker's [[Big Brother Mentor]], turning him into a hideous monstrosity called a Dreamkiller, that becomes tied up in the brutal [[Mind Rape]] of one of Rick Sheridan's human friends, who's eventually {{spoiler|[[Driven to Suicide]]}};
Line 95:
** The Bookworm, a depraved magician who was horrifically tortured by the bullies at his high school and who's now [[Who's Laughing Now?|obsessed with getting revenge on them, and on Sleepwalker for his opposing them]];
** Sleepwalker's own psychotic breaks after he suffers a vicious [[Curb Stomp Battle]] and [[Mind Rape]] at the hands of Psyko, which drives him insane and nearly leads him to murder his [[Heroic Host]] Rick Sheridan.
* ''[[Ultimate Spider Woman (Fanfic)SpiderWoman|Ultimate Spider-Woman: Change With The Light]]'', set in the same universe as Ultimate Sleepwalker, has quite a bit of this too:
** The disturbing rants of the Brothers Grimm, who's apparently a [[Psychopathic Manchild]] [[Reality Warper]] who uses all sorts of disturbing fairy tale and toy paraphernalia in his crimes and who is prone to [[Talking to Themself|arguing with himself]] in an increasingly disturbing fashion, and whose idea of "performing" consists of kidnapping people and forcing them to watch disturbing sequences involving demonic toy soldiers ripping apart superhero dolls, witches juggling severed teddy bear heads, and skeletons juggling their own bones in choreographed dance routines;
** Jack O'Lantern, a ghoulish Halloween-themed mass murderer who considers himself one of [[The Unfettered]] and a [[Nietzsche Wannabe]] whose ultimate dream is [[To Create a Playground For Evil]]. He became [[Secret Identity Identity|consumed by his supervillain identity]] and now seeks to spread misery and horror as much [[For the Evulz]] as any actual hope of profit;
Line 109:
* [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7033789/1/VOCALOID_Forever This VOCALOID fanfic], in chapter 6, involves Rin waking up in the middle of the night, walking down the hall, seeing eyes at the end of the hallway, and being "attacked" by it. If you read it carefully, it could be implied that whatever the thing was was attempting to rape her. {{spoiler|However, it's revealed at the end of the chapter that the monster was actually "Caiden" and he wasn't trying to scare her.}}
* [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4301633/1/ Used], a House fanfic. The things {{spoiler|Tritter}} does to House are pretty certain to give one nightmares, including {{spoiler|raping him with his own cane, and a knife.}}
* [[Imperfect Metamorphosis (Fanfic)|Imperfect Metamorphosis]]' [[Wham! Episode|Chapter 31]]. This story is already dark, taking many [[Touhou]] ideas and twisting them just enough to inspire terror and awe. And then you reach this chapter, and the slowly dawning dream from the last four chapters breaks and you realise that [[Eldritch Abomination|Yuuka]] [[Complete Monster|Kazami]] (already an insane supplier of scary scenes) has {{spoiler|[[The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You|broken through the fourth wall]] }} with the simple words:
{{quote|{{spoiler|[[Fourth Wall Observer|"Or to be specific, I may converse with you, the you that's watching behind your eyes]]."}}
{{spoiler|[[Breaking the Fourth Wall|With that, she smiles, looks you directly in the eye, and smiles at you]].}}
